Nari watched the fire burn the cabin to the ground.

"What the hell!?"

Oliver stormed over to Nari, irate about the situation in front of him. "What are you doing!? Do you know what you've done!? You've destroyed a cabin! You have given off our location! You-"

"Wow!" Nari interrupted. "Are you going to yell at me like how you yelled at Ezzy the other day!?"

The wind blew harder and as fast as the fire started, it calmed down.

"What!?" Oliver questioned, "What does that have to do with any-"

"Couldn't you see how mean it was to yell at her after everything she went through!? You know Robin yelled at her and tore things from her hands like that! You know how yelling hurts her!" Nari scolded. "NEWS FLASH! You made her cry! You hurt her!"

The words cracked through the air and the snow got heavier. Jean started ordering everyone to the mess hall.

"I know everything that she went through!" Oliver argued.

"Not everything!" Nari hollered, her voice cracking. "You don't know everything! Why do you- I c-"

Oliver went to argue back.

"Guys- stop-" Jean said as she pulled Nari away. "It's storming- we have to seek shelter-"

Oliver stormed off to the medical cabin. "I know Ezmeralda plenty!"

Nari growled and in anger, followed Jean, forgetting about Ezmeralda in the cabin for a moment.

Oliver huffed and shook his head as he slammed the door. He looked over at Thomas who was laying with his back to the door...

"Thomas..."

Thomas sat up and looked up at Oliver.

"What-?"

"It's-"

The door opened and then shut just as quickly. Oliver looked to see Daylan. "Daylan?"

Thomas tensed, "Don't look at me!" He yelled, hiding his face.

Daylan smiled, "You're okay. I'm so glad." He whispered before walking over. He hugged Thomas and smiled.

Thomas froze and tensed before hugging back, holding back tears.

Oliver was so confused about what happened. So confused.

They pulled away.

"It's snowing?" Thomas asked. "I like the snow-"

"It's storming. Jean ordered everyone to seek shelter. Most people are in the mess hall but there are a few trapped in their cabins..."

"Trapped?"

"Yeah, like Jay and Ezmeralda are trapped in their cabins I think." Daylan explained. "I mean, Nari's pissed because she's trapped in the mess hall and apparently Ezmeralda isn't feeling well- something like that-"

"I swear, there has to be something going on between those two...." Daylan stated softly.

Oliver groaned as he looked out the window.

---

Ezmeralda had woken up from the howling of the wind and a nightmare.. She had put on warmer clothes due to the cold, the cabin was drafty as well...

She definitely wasn't feeling good now...

"Hi little... person that happens to be growing in me..." Ezmeralda said awkwardly as she held her stomach.
