Chapter 1

Title: Lost

She felt the wind whisper its apologies under her neck, tendrils of cold snaking under a scarf that fluttered with winter’s icy breathe. Her pale skin prickled under her wool jacket. Frozen locks of golden hair whipped her face, leaving red streaks on her porcelain skin. Too cold to cry too numb to care she kept walking winding through bare trees that clawed at the grey sky. The woods muffled, suffocated in a blanket of white. Only her tracks disturbed the virgin fresh fallen snow, only the rustle of her cloths, the sickening crunch of her boots broke the stillness. Numb, her hands held by winter’s mercy, she couldn’t move, legs heavy like ice dragged down into the warm snow. Crystal eyes stared up at the slowly drifting clouds gathering snow flakes obscuring the spinning world through glass. Breathe ragged, chest heavy, her lips gasped as winter pressed her potent kiss against her ripping the breath out of her fragile lungs. She closed her eyes as the bitter cold engulfed, her wrapped her in a soft embrace and let the darkness take her away.
