Joshua entered the portal. Snow was falling all around him. The winds were stronger than anything he ever seen.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

I think I had it much worse. When the machine turned on, my mind started to mess with me. It keep on whispering, you're not good enough for him. Soon it started to say things I wouldn't dare to write anywhere. I felt as if my emotions were being drained.

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

Joshua kept on moving forward through the frozen landscape. He creates a shield of fire to protect himself from the intense weather. He spotted an ice spirit and followed it. Soon there were millions of them. All going in the same direction

In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job, when you're in town

My mind became very toxic. I started to have thoughts of suicide. I wanted to quit life. I had nothing going for me. I knew this wasn't true but my mind kept telling me it was. A gun appeared inside the tube.

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Joshua reached into his pocket and pulled out a tape recorder. The same one Lizzy used.

"I'm sorry Autumn. You're a great person and great friend but I love Adan. I hope you understand. You'll find someone better for you eventually."

Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

I picked up the gun. It was burning hot but at hat moment, I didn't care. I held it and loaded the gun.

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

"I think I found it's home. There is a large home all the spirits are funneling into. I think the inhabiter is in it." He kept on walking through the landscape. Dead bodies started to appear on the floor.

Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song, as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

I started to cry. He could never love a person like me. I pointed the gun toward my head. A loud bang sounded off and I was out.

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mister Snowman
Yes, until the all the kids knock him down

"These are bigger halls then at the factory. The spider spirit things are all ignoring me. As if they are being controlled by one entity. I think the inhabiter is calling to them" A loud screeching noise echoes through the halls.

And later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid, the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

I laid on the floor of the tube. They caught us. We made too much noise. The bang was them blowing up the door. They found us. I couldn't do anything. They raised their guns toward my tube.

"OPEN FIRE!" They yelled

Just at that second the room became flooded. Sparks went everywhere. Wind started to blow. It became very bright. It was the experiments. Adan was leading the attack. Once they took out the guards, Adan came to my tube and shook me awake.

"Where's Joshua?"

"In there..." I said pointing into the portal. I started to cry. "I don't what to do Adan. I love him."

"I know you do but you'll find someone better for you. It'll get better over time" replied one of the older girls, I think she was Summer.

"Alice, you stay here with Autumn to make she doesn't die. She dies and we are trapped in the frozen plane." Adan announced

"Got it!" Alice replied

"Summer, Oliver, and George follow me to kill the Frozen Inhabiter. For Siracle"

"For Siracle" everyone else repeated. I was too confused to care.

"Autumn, if you ever hear this you need to know that I didn't stay in your house to kill the inhabiter. I stood because of you and your sister. I wanted to help. Oh my goodness what's that?"

A wave of water cane toward him. On top was Adan, Oliver, Summer, and George.

"You can't kill the inhabiter alone you know" Adan said

"Where's Alice?"

"With Autumn"

"Good. I hope she can help her."

(NOTE: She didn't).

"Let's do this" Oliver stated.

Joshua got aboard the wave and rose up with his team. The five of them went down through the layer. When they arrived they saw someone familiar.

"Lizzy?"
