POV: Avery"Avery, get up and go outside." Damien said without even looking at me. I was sitting on the floor by the fire, because Chloe had taken the couch.Chloe was wrapped in a thick blanket, eating biscuits. My mother and father sat beside her, and none of them looked at me. Outside, the wind and snow was fighting.I laughed small, thinking I heard him wrong. "Say that again." My voice was shaking."The generator can't carry all of us," he said.
