Mother looked down at the four women laying in there sick beds. She didnt know how to help them or even sooth their pain.
One by one the women started dying along with the seasons. Mother nature looked at the last one barely holding on.
"Winter i only one one way to help." Mother nature said.
"No!! You'll die."
"Without the seasons ill be dead within the week anyways."
Winter looked at her friends who layed motionless next to her. Tears ran down her face.
" Without them im nothing."
"That's why i must do this."
Winter looked up at the beautiful, youthful, radiant being called Mother and cried even harder.
"Please dont."
"I must."
Mother nature leaned over Winter and started chanting words that she didnt understand. She watched in horror as the woman standing above her started aging. Her once beautiful face started wrinkling, her bright blue eyes started fading, her shiny red hair was turning gray and thining.
Winter who had been on death's door now felt alive once more. Her face and body filled with the power of mother nature.
When Mother stopped chanting she wobbled and would have fallen if Winter wouldnt have helped her.
Winter sobbed as she gently layed Mother on the bed she had occupied seconds ago.
Mother nature looked up at the now beautiful, lively Winter. "You know what you must do."
"But we werent meant to mix with humans."
"It's ok."
"But what about Spring, Autum, and Summer?"
"I cast a special spell."
Winter nodded. "Good bye Mother." Tears formed in her bright gray eyes.
She got up, took one last look at her dear friends and Mother and slowly backed out of the cave that was going to be there burial site.
She stopped just outside, raised her hands and watched as thick, unbreakable ice covered the caves entrance. Once done she dropped to her knees and cried.

It took Winter days just to find a town out in the middle of no where. She had never been off the mountains before. And it was supposed to be spring here but because Spring died it was still winter.
It would stay winter until she had her babie's but then what would happen between the time it took them to mature and grow into there power's.
But first she has to find the right man. She was scared and alone but it had to be done for the sake of the World.
Winter walked up to the first house that she saw and knocked.
She waited but after a minute of no one answering she knocked again and this time a bit louder and harder.
She sighed. She was about to turn and leave when all of a sudden an elderly woman opened the door.
"Yes. Can I help you?" She asked.
Winter stared because she kinda looked like Mother nature. "Umm, yes im lost and i dont really now where i am."
"Oh, dear. Thats horrible, why dont you come in and ill see if my son can take you to the nearest hotel."
"Im sorry, hotel?"
The old woman looked back at her with a frown on her face. "Oh my. Raaay!!!" She yelled.
A man came out of a room. "What mom?"
"This young lady needs help."
"With what?" The man said a bit rudely.
"She seems to have lost her memory's."
"Memory's?" Winter repeated.
"So."
"Take her down to the sherrifs office maybe he can help her."
The man sighed. "Fine. Come on." He said as he walked to the door.
Winter followed the man and as they walked the street she noticed quit a few people looking at her. She eyed all the men but they werent what she was looking for.
They walked for a couple more minutes all the while the man was complaing about the cold and how he couldnt wait until spring.
Tears formed in her eye's because she knew they would wait for a very long time.
He finally stopped. "Here just go in there."
"Thank you."
"Yeah, whatever."
Winter made her way up the steps and pushed open the door. Inside it was nice and toasty and for the first time in days Winter felt... Happy.
She walked up to the empty counter and looked around. She saw a small bell with a note that read.
Please ring if no one is at the front desk.
Winter tapped the bell. A door at the back of the room opened and a tall, handsome young man walked out.
"Can I help..." He trailed off as he stopped to stare at Winter.
This was her man.
***
Winter was happy, sad and devistated at the same time. Happy because she was madly in love with her husband the town's sherrif and sad beacaus she now knew what was happening to her.
Winter was now a month pregnant and she felt her life going into the babies she was now carrying.
She was devistated because day by day it no longer looked like winter outside. Everyday it seemed like it would get darker sooner then expected.
Nine months later
Tom Winters husband sat at her side as the town's midwife peered under the sheet that was spread across Winters knee's.
"Ok, I see a head." The midwife smiled at the soon to be parents.
Tom looked down at Winters pale face and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Winter pushed. And then they heard a baby cry. "Ok, first one down. Three more to go." The Midwife turned to hand her assistant the baby. She quickly rapped the baby in a pink blanket.
A second cry filled the air and again a smile for the parents and handing the baby girl over to her assistant.
Winter was weak and as the babies left her body they were also pulling the life right out of her. Tom kissed her sweaty forhead and whispered i love yall as he slumped down next to her on the bed.
"Tom!" Winter clutched his now slack hand in hers.
"Oh, dont worry honey new fathers tend to faint with there first newborn and since your having four," she laughed "i dont blame him."
Winter cried because she knew better. The only reason why she lasted the whole nine months was because tom was feeding her his own life force. She didnt know how but he was and now he was gone.
Winter pushed and a third cry joined the other two.
"Almost done." The midwife said.
Winter cried as she looked outside it was two in the afternoon but it pitch dark. She it had gotten worst and now that she was dying there was no way the seasons would come back until her daughters reached the age 18.
The last cry joines the others and Winter took one first and last look at her girls before she joined her husband.
The midwife frowned. "Poor thing she must be exausted. Beth, get the smelling salt to wake up the husband so he can meet his girls."
"Yes ma'am."
Beth grabbed the small pouch and headed to the bed next the Tom. She covered her nose as she popped the bag right in front le his nose.
When he didnt wake up she frowned. She shook him and when that didnt work she checked his pulse.
Beth screamed.
Behind her she heard her boss Mina the midwife scream.
Beth turned.
Mina was staring at a now empty table where the four babys were suppose to be.
"Where are that?" Beth looked around shocked.
"I dont know they just vanished."
"What?"
"Oh my god, how am i gonna explain this to Winter and Tom?"
Beth looked over at Winter. She reached over to check her pulse but her skin was ice cold.
Beth gasp. Tears rolled down her face and she slowly backed up away from the bed.
"What, what wrong?" Mina joined her side. "Beth?"
"There dead."
"What?" Mina frowned.
Beth looked at her with wide tear filled eyes. "There dead."
