Half Human [#Wattys2016]

Frost

I'm flying in same position when I left the non-rock and staring. I wait a few seconds then I assume he is dead and fly to the non-rock then I see his face pop out of the water and for some odd reason I feel relieved. I go to the non-rock and push it against the river flow so Travis can grasp onto it and get back on. He grasps and his nails start making marks downwards  revealing the green underneath the grey camouflage of the non-rock. Then I notice were his nails dug in earlier whilst he was grasping on for his life. I look down and find he slipped underneath and is floating downstream. I fly up and soar down to him to pick him up. Hugging him again doesn't feel warm anymore but at the same time does on the inside of me,it's almost, comforting. I put him down back on the non-rock and he lays down on his back breathing heavily. He slowly turns over that he is lying on his stomach then he tucks his knees in and brings himself up with his hands as if he just woke up. He brings his knees in front of him and cross them in a sitting position. He looks at me with his baby blue eyes and says,"I feel cold." Then I feel a cold draft and out of instinct I change into a polar bear as I turn around I see a few snowflakes and then the river turns at a hill and I see a land of white snow everywhere. I look in my bag to see if I have a sweater but as I knew I don't have.
"Travis, I don't have a sweater but if you feel cold you stand by me." I see an abandoned village and run towards it with Travis by my side. I see a badly damaged sign at the entrance saying 'people of the snow'.
