This is it. This is how I die. I start slipping and cry louder. "Here." A hand grabs my wrist. I look up and see David. "David?" "Grab my hand." I take it. "Hold tight." He pulls me up.

We stumble back and I hold him onto him. I pull back. "You really think id let you come out here alone? You okay?" I pant heavily. "I'm good. Thanks." I go up the hill and to grab the cage. "Where are you going?" "I came to find the flock," I say determined. "And I came here to get you before you got hurt." The wind starts to blow. I look for the cage and see it. I run towards it. "We have to go." It suddenly starts raining. "NO!" I grab the cage.

"Doing this on foot is not the best plan." "The gate was closed. I guess now I know why." "I know. I saw. It's too late. We have to go." He say trying to convince me. "I can't the-" "Kiara it's not safe." I look at him through the water dripping from the sky. "We need to get out of here. Come on."

We run through the caves

We run through the caves. "Wait. Stairs." "No, we sneak out through the courtyard." "it's safer to climb over the curtain wall," I state. "Trust me hiding from people is my life." "No, the courtyard is clear now but it won't be for much longer," he states. "Sorry lady, Stealthy got me this far." They keep running.

I groan. I hate how much Snow rubbed off on me.
I make to the courtyard a little late. The guards killed Stealthy. But I can still save Grumpy. "Whoa whoa. Relax I'm right here." I open my hand and fire comes from my palm. I hold my hand over a cart of hay. "Let him go or I torch this place." He looks from me to Grumpy debating if I'm bluffing. "Begone dwarf." "Go Grumpy." I smile at him. He runs away. I close my palm. "We need to talk." "I'm all ears."

We look for shelter

We look for shelter. "THERE!" we see a house. We run towards it. "HELLO! ANYONE IN THERE? It's empty." He kicks the door open. We get inside. I set the cage down.

He starts a fire. "Okay. Let's get you dry. Here." He tries to put a blanket around me. I step away from him. "Hey, I'm just trying to help." "I don't need it," I state. "What's going on with today?" I sigh heavily. "I still have feelings for you." "What?" He says taken back.

"Why do you think I show up to work right before  7:15?" I make eye contact with him. "To see you. And I don't even know why. Because it makes me feel like shit when it's a reminder that you chose Kathryn instead of me. Another person in my life chooses anything but me. But I get it she's your wife, she's more important." I run my hands through my wet hair. "And I'm just some girl. That's why i didn't want you to come here with me. Being around you is...so painful." I hear a chuckle.
