The wind picked up sending white snowflakes blowing across the icy area. The faded blue of the sky clashing against the bright white of the clouds as he raced by. He pulled his red and black helmet further down onto his fluffy hair as he imagined what a blur he must look like from above. Brushing the wisps of light brown hair off his forehead as he looked towards the oncoming trees. They looked beautiful as shiny white specks of snow glistened at him. The closer he came to approaching them he found himself shielding his cobalt blue eyes from oncoming snow that fell from the tree's grip. A genuine smile pierced his lips once he turned to look behind him. His eyes met the figures of Elton, Corey, and Sam who was fixing the GoPro. Sam's own soft eyes met his own melting him slightly. He didn't want to give it away though and instead smirked cockily before speeding up causing even more of a distance between the others. He could only hope he was giving them some good footage. But despite that and the cold temperatures and risks he knew that they only truly did things like this because they loved to do so. He gripped the handles of the snowmobile gloved fingers clenching hard as his competitive side showed itself. It was exhilarating; even more so than skydiving or anything else he'd done for the TFIL videos. He wasn't sure why but this just felt right to him and the chill across any exposed skin just motivated him more. Apparently, Sam saw the competitiveness as a challenge because soon after the blonde sped up. Grinning he gave a thumbs-up as he made riskier moves trying to keep ahead of Sam. He could feel Corey and Elton's eyes burning into the back of his head at the danger his moves possessed.

But he wasn't paying them any mind considering this was normal behavior for them. They'd always been protective especially of him. Any time he was even the slightest bit close to the ledge of anything or did anything clumsy the two older men overreacted. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing but at times it was just overbearing. His surroundings flew by as he realized he had to of been a good distance ahead of Sam at this point considering he could barely hear the thrumming of the blonde's snowmobile.

The experience was thrilling yet relieving. He no longer had was thinking of things that usually plagued his mind.

It was amazing until it wasn't.

The rush had gotten to his head so much in fact that he'd forgotten to take in all of his surroundings. He was going faster than ever never once realizing that he was far ahead of the others despite agreeing to stick together for the most part. Instead, he focused on the chill against his skin and the way he loved the rush. Although the thoughts were cut short as he faintly heard screaming. His lips pursed as he tried to make out what the screaming was about. It only seemed to grow louder causing his brows to furrow as he looked behind him for a split second.

Only to regret doing once he saw the terror on everyone's face as Sam tried pointing.

''Colby! Watch out!''

Sam's distinct yell brought him out of his trance as his eyes snapped in front of him. Eyes widening in shock as he was coming close to being in contact with a branch.

He cursed to himself

He tried avoiding it, shifting his weight and maneuvering himself so he could go under it. But it was too late to do so. The branch snapped backward coming into contact with his face, hard. The snow that had stuck to the branch was now all over his black clothing. He could feel it sinking into his clothing making him shiver. The shock and pain muddled his vision as he lost his focus. Before he knew it he'd been flung off of the snowmobile. Time seemed to slow as he heard his friends panicked yells. He only braced himself for the impact of the ground only for it to feel so much worse than he could have ever expected. His slender body came crashing onto the snowy landscape as he rolled over a few times groaning in pain.

''Ngnh,'' he muttered as his broken lay there. The wind had all but been knocked out out of him and he could only imagine how many cuts and bruises he had from the whole ordeal. Maybe even worse. '' Fuck that hurt.''

His face already was screaming in pain from where the branch had been sent careening against his face. A sticky wet substance ran down where the branch had met his face and he could only guess it was blood. His vision swam as he tried catching his breath. He could hear the other snowmobiles slow to a stop before the rapid footsteps of people coming near him.

''Holy shit!'' Elton called taking in his battered form.

He could see Corey rushing towards him as the older man carefully tried to drag him out of the snow. No matter how softly the man did so his body was still groaning in pain as he winced.

Elton and Sam rushed forward soon after but he just stayed down not wanting to aggravate his body just yet.

''Dude are you alright?'' Sam called voice high with worry. He stayed silent trying to form words before Elton kneeled beside him.

''Are you okay?'' The sincerity in the elder's voice took him by surprise as the man's palm clapped upon his shoulder.

''Ow..''

He found himself trying to regain what little dignity he had left after what had just happened.

''Yeah..'' He muttered quietly earning an unsure nod from the dark-haired man.

Before long Sam, Elton, and Corey had continued the video. He was faintly aware of them talking about how exactly he'd even been thrown off of the snowmobile before he stopped listening. His only goal was to get himself up from the pitiful heap on the snow.

Bending his arms out in front of him he took a breath before attempting to get up against his body's protests. He pushed himself getting halfway up before suddenly being overcome with pain. He clutched at his chest before grimacing in pain. Freezing in position before falling forward crumpling into the chilling snow as his eyes slipped closed.

''Colby!''
