Thawed

-introduction-

The icy chill it holds me tight, I feel like tiny particles of deathly cold is running through my veins, I'm just another 'low life rat', just another victim of the organisations lasting torture. The organisation... Yea, don't worry they are just the rich snobs who now run the world, they all took over when a mighty blizzard froze the earth. I'm just a little girl! I haven't a clue how old I am, as I am not allowed to know, and I am also denied the right to have a proper name, so I am called 86, like every one else all I have is a number and some ratty clothing.

Another thing, I'm a fighter! I fight the cold, because if I let it in, bad things will happen! I've seen it, it's happened to MANY others, my eyes would cloud over like muddy water, and I would become almost robot like... Taking any orders I am given. So I continue to fight, and I now sit in my frozen under ground cell like every one else who was damned to a life with no sun, but a life of unforgiving cold, that's been my entire life, call me 86, I'm just girl against the world.

~~~ present time~~~

I have no clue to what time it is, but estimate that it's early morning, I get up to take away the stiffness from my frozen joints, as I do so my shackles scrape against the icy floor, the sound echoes through the many under ground pathways lined with cells, most of which are probably empty. I hear footsteps, fast and frantic. And a quiet voice...

"86~" something whispers from afar.

My train of thought was shattered by a hoarse screaming filling the hallways, moments later I realised it was another prisoner being taken away by a guard, to be killed. My cell is in the same hallway to where a room is that guards take prisoners to be disposed of, I know because I can always smell death shortly after some poor soul is killed.

This prisoner was a fighter, he refused to let the cold trick him to a life of slavery, he had clear eyes and he didn't obey, having these... Traits will get. You. Killed.

"I have to escape" I say to myself, as I clench the bars that imprison me

It took me what seemed like eternities to think up some ideas, but none came to mind. I sat in silence, flicking a small shard of ice against my cell wall to keep concentrated. Suddenly a song emerged from the the abyss of my mind...

"O sun can thee hear me singing?,

Can you send me your warmth my way,

Can you melt this frozen life of misery?

O sun send me part of you my way,

O please I pray, my sun, my god,

O come light my way" I sung... A voice had just emerged that I never knew I had.

An hour or so had passed, and I was huddled up in a corner to fight the cold, something felt different. Then I heard something so sweet, something beautiful. Something was singing my name.

"Oh my dear 8-6 I come for thee" it was a beautiful voice, it sounded so warm and inviting It made me feel even more trapped.

Out of no where some thing I thought that could only exist in dreams started to happen, a little flame floated outside my cage, it grew and grew as my wonder and amazement over whelmed me, then semi transparent orange and red ribbons of light and warmth whizzed about every where then spun around the little floating flame, like contents in an active blender, there was a flash and there in front of me stood what I though was a gift from the sun... A lady! To roughly put it, she had hair like fire and her eyes, an emerald sheen.

She glowed a honey gold against surrounding melting ice, I got as close to the fiery maiden as I could, allowing myself to soak up any warmth that beckoned promise of no more suffering.

The maiden waved her hand and the bars to my cell melted to a grey goop. I lunged forward and embraced the maiden, but I didn't get burnt as I thought I would, my world was filled with serenity and peace I wanted nothing more, I looked up at the maiden and smiled for the first time in my life, she then started to sing...

"O my child I heard thee singing,

I now give you my warmth and more,

I shall freeze your life of misery,

O I now show myself to you my sweet child,

I heard your prayer for warmth,

I shall light your way and oh so much more...

For thee are the last one left, In this icy prison of death, you fought your best and succeeded, now rest your soul for no more forsaken cold shall be brought upon, my child I give you my word"

Together we walked, and the maiden sung, while embracing me. Little fiery animals that the maiden had summoned danced around us like the happy flames of an inviting fire, we found our selves at some steep stairs that went a long way up, we climbed until we reached the top and them maiden melted away a door of ice. I was met with a beautiful sight. The world wasn't what I thought it was, there wasn't a speck of ice to be seen.

"In a short while I had melted the world, in an hour I had freed the minds of the prisoners, in a minute I built a town for all thee to live in, in a while I created a new world" beckoned the maiden, looking rather proud of her feats

The fiery maiden turned to me, " one last thing my child" she said, one of the flaming creatures sat beside me, and morphed into a white dog with warm yellow eyes. " he shall protect you"

With that the maiden disappeared, every one around me stared, I smiled and they started to sing. I wasn't any saviour, I wasn't no hero! But all that didn't matter I was free! A sun I never knew had been discovered, the other prisoners no longer were mindless drones. From hoping of freedom, I had found the meaning of how much a little warmth can help... And I am no longer 86.
