Y/N walked into the lobby while the rest of the survivors were talking with each other. She rubbed her arms in discomfort. Her sweater was being washed right now, and she felt really cold already. She was very sensitive to temperature, but she could only hope it wouldn't get worse. As she approached the table, she recognized Kurt, Fiona, and Freddy. Everyone greeted her warmly as she took her seat next to Fiona. She greeted them back and started to listen in to their conversation as she drank some water from her goblet. "Alright," Freddy began, "so the hunter we're facing off against today is Smiley Face." At the mention of Smiley, Y/N nearly choked on her drink, and put the goblet down, trying to swallow down the water and listen at the same time. "We'll be going to Leo's Memory today as well," Freddy continued, as Y/N groaned mentally. Just her luck to be pitted against Smiley on the coldest location WITHOUT her sweater. Just then, a white light enveloped each of them, indicating that Smiley was ready. Y/N silently cursed her luck again as she stared at the hunter's chair, then the white light enveloped her vision.

Y/N opened her eyes to find herself out in the cold, near the shack. Rubbing her arms, she shivered as she ran inside, grateful for the snow not piling up on her anymore. After brushing off some snow, she began decoding, though she almost missed calibrations because the cold was unbearable after a few minutes. Finally, she finished the cipher after what seemed like forever, then became alert. She heard quiet footsteps running through the snow, followed by what sounded like heavy trudging. Sniffing the cold air, she got a whiff of smoke and old paper, like in a dictionary. She smirked. Freddy was getting chased. She could make out the auras of the two a couple meters away from her. She quickly ran out of the shack, back into the snow. Shivering again, she ran until she found another cipher, and began to decode. Just then, she heard a distant yell, and Freddy's icon turned yellow as she heard a cipher ping behind her. She couldn't help but feel impressed. She was already decoding the second to last one, and Freddy just got hit now. They're on their game today, she thought as she continued to decode, but then stopped. Her fingers were completely frozen and unusable. And in the middle of a calibration too. The cipher exploded as she tried to shield herself with her frozen fingers. She could hear her heartbeat getting louder. Not wanting to face him, she ran away, so naturally, he found her. Smiley almost lost her when he saw who it was. He stood still in shock and surprise, then quickly realized he was going to lose her if he didn't move. And so, equipping a certain upgrade on his weapon, he dashed towards Y/N, just barely missing her. Y/N yelped and ran as fast as her legs could carry her, though she could feel her legs giving out beneath her from exhaustion and the cold. She was throwing down pallets, just barely missing getting hit. Meanwhile, Smiley continued to chase her, raising an eyebrow. He saw how she was slowing down, and that sooner or later, he would catch up and hit her. He didn't feel like doing this, however. All of sudden though, she turned a corner, and disappeared. Looking around confused, he finally saw it. A portal with a blue eye in the center, and the white husk of Y/N that disappeared before he could hit it. In irritation, he hit the portal, destroying it. That damn Priestess, he cursed in his mind, then sighed. Better not let Hastur know I said that, he thought grumpily as he trudged again through the snow.

Y/N found herself thanking Fiona over and over again, though she only waved it off. As they worked on the last cipher, after Fiona helped warm up Y/N's hands, Fiona decided to take control of the topic. "So, what's with you and Smiley?" she asked as Y/N almost missed a calibration in shock. "W-What are you talking about?" Y/N said, as she panicked mentally while trying to focus. "Tracy told me about your match with him," Fiona raised an eyebrow as a small blush graced Y/N's face. Gosh dangit, Tracy, Y/N thought as she struggled to come up with an answer. "I-I don't know. He probably just wanted to have fun before he sent me back. Y-You know hunters sometimes get cocky like that," Y/N stuttered as she hit the calibration perfectly. "Doesn't explain the fact that he literally talked to you before killing you. Not to mention compli-" she was cut off as their heartbeats grew louder. They both stopped decoding and Fiona ducked behind a pallet as Y/N vaulted a window. Unfortunately, she was too fast, and hit her foot on the cement, creating a noise and a bruise on her foot. Cursing, she tried to run away, only to find her legs were almost at their limit. They were completely frozen and she was exhausted. Not to mention her little slip-up earlier left her with an aching foot. Hearing her faint heartbeat, she hid behind a wall, then sank to the ground as her legs gave way. Crawling, she sat up and hugged her knees. It was so cold that it felt like her skin was burning, and that was bad. She was exhausted and cold. Since she had been running, she had sweat on her face and back that quickly froze with the cold. She couldn't move or even yell. She struggled to keep her eyes open, but it was impossible. Slowly, she lost consciousness as her heartbeat grew louder and louder.

As Smiley turned the corner, he was shocked to find Y/N sitting against a wall, almost frozen to death. Approaching her, he removed his glove and tried to take Y/N's hand. Immediately, he recoiled the instant he grabbed it. It was colder than ice. He cursed. Y/N wouldn't survive if he didn't do something. The exit gates blared to life as he looked up, his eyes glowing red. He was at a crossroad now. Should he go after the other survivors, put Y/N in a rocket chair, or help Y/N risking another match lost? Then he glanced at Y/N again, her pale and lifeless face, and immediately made his decision. Quickly, he took off his scarf and wrapped it around her. It was big enough to fully wrap her frozen body, leaving her head exposed, so she was like Violetta's cocoon. Picking her up bridal style, he ran towards the nearest exit gate, clutching Y/N's body close, trying to share his warmth. Fiona and Kurt had just finished decoding when they saw Smiley behind them, his eyes reflecting off of the keypad. Terrified, Kurt fled and Fiona almost did, before she saw Y/N in Smiley's arms. Stopping, she ran towards Y/N as Smiley lowered her down into Fiona's arms. "Y/N! What happened!?" Fiona recoiled once she felt Y/N's face, then looked at Smiley, panic in her eyes. "You need to get her out of here, fast. Warm her up somewhere, get help. Anything, just go!" Smiley yelled, his eyes flashing dangerously as Fiona flinched. With a burst of strength, she carried Y/N across the exit barrier. Smiley placed a hand on the barrier and watched as Fiona and Y/N became a small speck in the distance. He sighed. Y/N...you always have a way of surprising me, he thought as the white light enveloped him once more.

Y/N had not expected to wake up. But she had. Blinking, she realized she was in her room, Emily beside her, smiling in relief. "Thank goodness you finally woke up!" Emily hugged Y/N as she chuckled weakly. "You scared everyone half to death. Even all the hunters were shocked," she said as she gave Y/N a cup of hot tea. Even Smiley, Y/N thought, blushing lightly as she sipped her tea gingerly. "Who brought me here?" Y/N asked. "Fiona did. And in time too. You would've been dead if she wasn't there to help you," Emily said darkly, then her expression changed to one of thought. "I believe Smiley helped as well, seeing that his scarf was wrapped around you when Fiona brought you back," Emily pointed to Y/N's bedside table, where a familiar red scarf sat folded neatly. "Now you need to rest for a few days. Upupup-" Emily said as Y/N started to protest. "No arguing with the doctor," she answered as she went to stoke the fire. Emily was stubborn, and Y/N knew that. Sighing, Y/N laid back in the bed, disappointed but also grateful. She began to feel her eyes close again though. Emily noticed and smiled, then exited the room, leaving the door open. "I'll leave you to rest," she said from the other side of the door. And then she was gone. Before Y/N drifted off to sleep though, she was suddenly reminded of something. A big but gentle hand holding her own, warmth seeping through it. Even if it was just for a millisecond, it felt like a thousand years to Y/N.
