[044] a dangerous mind

( trigger warning for self mutilation )

                                                             The snow storm wreaked havoc for days, the wind howling as though it were crying over the current events playing out before them. The entire cabin was filled with the stifling air of guilt and grief. Everyone was feeling pretty horrible after what had happened. No one was able to speak (what could any of them possibly say?) and Shauna had become completely withdrawn, staying in bed all day. No one could blame her, of course, which was why they had left her alone to grieve.

                                                             The snow had piled up outside the door, leaving them unable to gather more firewood as well as snow to melt. Not only were they dehydrated but they were hungry and cold, forced to stay close to each other just to keep each other warm. They even had to share a small cup of water amongst each other to make sure that they were able to stay hydrated - even if it was by a little bit. Taissa was trying to make Shauna drink but she just ignored her, turning around so her back was facing her.

                                                              Suki was similarly as withdrawn as Shauna, not bothering to drink anything. She had completely become withdrawn, much to Courtney's dismay. Courtney suspected that Suki blamed herself for what had happened, seeing as she had meditated and prayed for hours only for it to not work. They had lost the baby and they had nearly lost Shauna. In a lot of ways, they had.
