At least she was warm, since Ani devised the plan to stop Guo she has been concealing herself under the white sail of the glider. Clutching the flare gun tightly, she waited patiently in her dark lonely world for Ani's signal. 

When she heard it she was to find the marking stick and fire the flare gun at it. It wasn't a great plan, but it was the only one they had. She felt the ice sheet vibrating under her feet. The smell of rotten fish permeated the air, surprisingly she heard Ani calling out and a girl's voice responding. Ginny? 

There was immediate chaos, she heard a gunshot, Ani making an anguished cry. No time to wait she emerged from her hiding place, shot the flare gun. She felt the sudden rush of heat to her face as the gasoline ignited. She blindly ran in the direction she heard Ani's voice.

"Ginny! Ani needs our help, Guo shot him!"

The response was colder than the ice ather feet, "you have ruined everything, you meddling bitch!"

A confused Yuan, "Ginny, we sacrificed everything to save you"

The response was a kick to the face that dizzied her. Ginny was moving away from her now, Yuan searched around, found Ani's fallen body, he was barely breathing. She wrapped her arms around him in an attempt to keep him warm.

Weakly he spoke, "My brave little dove, fly away, save yourself"

Tears filling her sightless eyes, "I am not leaving you, you big dummy"

Another gunshot was heard, then a horrific crashing sound, the ice beneath them gave way and plunged them into the icy water. Yuan never let go, her last words before she sank under the water. "I'm sorry Bai"

 "I'm sorry Bai"
