The hairs on my arms stood on end. I lifted my head, my eyes locking onto the distant horizon. A unnatural coldness rushed in, snaking its way down my spine. The sun was gone, swallowed by a predatory darkness. I stumbled backward, my book tumbling from my numb hands. From the creeping shadows in the lower city, unearthly shrieks erupted. My fingers dug into the cool stone of the balcony railing. Plumes of acrid smoke began to rise. Violent orange flames broke out, consuming building after building in a matter of heartbeats.

Please be safe Thora... please. It was impossible to see anything...I could barely see my own paws. Breathing heavily, I jump over the borders. Looking around. Sh**! It was completely white...the hope of her being alive...able to survive in this disaster flickering.

We returned to the country three weeks later. Because of my severe frostbite, the entire expedition team had been forced to evacuate ahead of schedule. When I woke up at Davenport Hospital, the first thing I heard was a doctor's lowered voice, "It's a miracle that she survived. "At negative forty degrees, ten minutes is enough to be fatal. She actually held on until rescue arrived…" I turned my head. Under the doctor’s instructions, my mother-in-law was sobbing softly. Zachary stood to the side, his expression unreadable.

Once my hands stop shaking and the overriding nausea and sense of imminent death passes anyway. My heart sank further when I realised we were definitely heading north. We're going deeper into the cold, not away from it. Longer underground or an even quicker death. When a flurry of blazing torches finally came into view dawn was breaking through, shards of light cutting through the white snowstorms. My face was completely numb, my limbs useless after hours exposed to the cold.

Our world shrank to the path ahead, the gnawing hunger in our bellies, and the biting cold that seemed to seep into our very marrow. We survived on strips of dried, salted meat Cane produced from a pouch at his belt tough and nearly tasteless, but it was sustenance. At night, we didn’t risk a fire. We found shelter in shallow caves or under the overhang of thick rock ledges, huddling for what little warmth we could share, sleeping in short, fitful bursts.

Although it has a small body and less medicine was needed, its injuries were really serious. I don't know why I acted without thinking. As soon as I saw it, I jumped without hesitation. Maybe I had a cat before, I've never had such a hard time having no memory, at least I never felt like not having memories was that bad at all. I came to a halt, a few seconds later the sky opens up in an intense cold rain. Water falls with intensity soaking us completely, our clothes are not suited for this kind of weather.
