The Broken But Strong

Whispers In The Snow

(Violet's Pov)

Winter had come in full force and we weren't expecting this storm to hit. I was watching as the snow was falling quickly and I rubbed the back of my neck and Clem comes up next to me as she hands me something warm to drink. We had sent AJ over to the school a few days before the storm hit and honestly it was a good thing we did. I had on my wool lined jacket and I looked down to Clem as I gently take the cup and take a drink. She watched the snow falling as well and I shake my head a bit at this. I couldn't get to the greenhouse and I glare a bit at the snow.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"I should get some vegetables." I mutter a bit.

"We have enough." She tells me and I look to her a bit then to the snow.

"With how bad this storm is, I'd like to be on the safe side." I tell her.

"Well let me get my jacket and we can get some vegetables." She tells me.

"After we finish these drinks." I tell her and she nods as she goes and puts on some warmer clothes and I look to her fake leg a bit. she looked to me and then taps my foot a bit with her prosthetic and I smile a bit and she looked to me. I had made sure we had gotten the snow boots the ones with studs or whatever at the bottoms so that we could walk in the snow better. Though with her fake leg, I didn't want her to get it stuck in the snow. We were thinking of making something for her, maybe make a leg that she could wear in the winter but I don't know how to make one. She pats my leg a bit and I look to her hand a bit and I take her hand gently in mine. She grips my hand back and I lay my head back a bit and then I look to the flames and to the wood pile a bit.

"You can get the veggies and I can get some wood, or do you need my help?" I asked her.

"I can get the food; I did notice we were running low on wood too." She tells me and I nod a bit and smiled.

"Ok, I can get the wood, thank god AJ and I had cut enough for the school and here." I state and finished my drink and so does she. We then left the cabin and I got her to the greenhouse and I went to work on getting the wood into the house. It took a few trips but as I was getting the last of the wood in cabin and I head back out and see Clem trying to walk in the snow so I helped her into the cabin. She looked a little upset as she stamped her prosthetic to the floor getting the clumps of snow off. I chuckled a bit and kissed her head and she looked to me as I grabbed the vegetables from her.

"I'm going to get some snow and put it in the fridge and freezer." I tell Clem.

"I can help." She says and I nod.

"I'll put the snow in the bucket and hand it to you?" I asked and she nods as I set the food on the counter and we got to work. It didn't take long and I handed her the last bucket to her and I closed the door so no more snow and cold air could get in. I shake my head of any snow and I hear Clem giggle and I look to her a bit as she put the last of the snow in the fridge. We packed up some of the food and I look to her and she was looking out the window before she looked to me.

"Winds picking up a lot." She says and I look to her a bit and nod.

"Yeah, we will be fine, I'm just glad AJ wanted to go to the school." I tell her and I rubbed the back of my neck.

"You think we should have gone?" She asked.

"Maybe... I mean this storm is worse than we've had before... I just... I just wish you had gone." I tell her honestly.

"Hey I've dealt with worse, I literally fell in a frozen lake once." She laughed a bit and I look to her. I get up and work on some stew and we take a seat in the living room and I look to her.
