When I woke early the next morning—yes, I sleep—I suddenly felt air cover me in a sudden cold...

My arms were empty.

I shot up from the bed, gasping as if I had a nightmare, and I glanced down to find the puppy still sleeping at the foot of the bed; in the same position he'd been in last night.

I looked around the room nervously.

Where was Skye?

But that's when I saw a small, female figure sitting on the windowsill, holding herself tightly as she stared up at the snowflakes drifting from the night sky.

She couldn't sleep, could she?

I mean... if I saw a woman die, then I wouldn't be able to either.

"Skye," I whispered, making her glance over at me, "come back to bed."

Her eyes glossed over with uncertainty, and she shook her head.

I dropped my hands. "Why not?"

She shook her head again.

I sighed and closed my eyes tightly, but I just slid off the bed, stood, and stepped over to her quietly.

She looked up at me hazily as I stood in front of her.

I held out my hand.

She glanced down at before looking back up at me, clearly confused.

I just wiggled my fingers.

She looked down to it again, lifting her arm and hovering her hand over mine shakily.

After a moment of hesitation, she finally set her palm on mine, and I curled my fingers around hers.

"Come on," I said, nodding to the bed.

As I stepped forward, she gracefully slid off the windowsill behind me before following.

After I made it to the bed, I sat on the edge, and she followed, settling next to me.

"It was North, wasn't it?" I said.

She gazed up, looking shy suddenly. "How did you know?"

I smiled, wondering if she remembered that I could read minds.

I told her that, but she probably forgot, so I didn't think it was worth mentioning again.

"I just know," I said.

She leaned forward slightly, her black hair slipping over her shoulder and covering her skin in its inky-form.

"I'm going to guess," I told her, leaning forward to see her face, "and you tell me if I'm right, okay?"
