"I'm so cold" she breathed. Her eyes fluttered shut as her rasping breath got heavier. Goose bumps covered her bare legs and arms and she was shivering. She wore only her shorts and a tank top, which was ideal since it was the middle of Summer. It was 90 degrees outside yet she was freezing. Her skin was pale with the cold and she could see some of her veins, the blue blood untainted by the air outside her body ran through them steadily. She could hear her heart pounding in her head. So cold... She wanted to scream for help but no words came, her voice had abandoned her.
Riley looked up from the camera in his lap as something caught his eye. Something was wrong with Sarah... He brushed his dark hair out of his face and rushed to her side. "Sarah what's wrong?" he asked in a worried whisper. "So cold" she breathed again, trying to curl up to warm herself. Funny... Riley had been feeling a lot warmer than ussual lately. He took her hand and gasped. It was as cold as ice. Sarah let out a sigh of relief as warmth from his hand spread to hers. She wanted to cling to him but she was so scared and so cold... she couldnt move. A tear rolled down the side of her face and disapeared, leaving a faint trail of ice on her cheek. "Help me Riley" she whispered, trying to supress a sob.
