Where Fire Meets Ice

Frozen in Time

  A girl sat in the middle of the room, shaking and crying. All around her, ice had formed. Snow fell and covered the ice in some places making it look like the back of a patchy cat. The girl clearly didn't notice or care about the snow or ice. She was hugging her knees and holding onto a doll which was frozen around the edges from the tears that slipped down the cheeks of the girl. She sobbed and sobbed and no on seemed to take notice. Alone in the house, she sat and cried as night fell softly on the building and the small group of people approaching the house. People that were clearly highly trained professionals. These people had one order: get the girl and get out. It seemed easy enough...how hard could it be to get one eleven year old girl?
