WHEN CHARLIE WOKE UP she was cold, too cold.
She looked around and gasped once she realized where she was.
The Freezer.
Chet's jacket clung to her body as she froze, her lips and finger tips turning blue.
"Shit, no no!" she said and stood to her feet, walking over to the door.
She tried to open it but failed.
"H-Help..." she tried to say but it came out as a whisper.
If she stayed any longer, she would most likely die.
"C-Chet..." She shivered, hoping and praying someone would come for her.
She lied down on the floor and shivered until she couldn't move.

"Charlie!" A voice sounded as she was being shook "Wake up" It was Xavier.
"P-Plea-se" she stuttered, Xavier leaned down and picked her up, carrying her to the counter and placing her on it.
"Charlie, are you okay?" He asked her.
"I-I...c-cold" Was all she could mutter.
He took off his coat and walked her toward the oven he just had to crawl out of, it radiating warmth.
"Xavier" she spoke as soon as she could "Y-Your face" she said and reached up to touch it, only for him to move her hand away.
"P-Please don't" he said "He shoved me in there" he pointed warily at the oven.
She could tell he was traumatized from the experience.
"Let's go find the others" she suggested, standing to her feet.
She shivered as they stepped outside, she had the early symptoms of frost bite.

Xavier and Charlie made it to the bridge, before the camp.
She ducked down quickly as Jingles walked onto the bridge, noticing them almost immediately.
"It wasn't me" he said before Charlie squeezed her eyes shut, ready for any type of impact.
"What are you guys doing here?" Brooke's voice erupted from behind them.
"Jingles...h-he...?" Xavier said, looking for him.
"Jingles isn't here" she said "Oh my god Charlie" she said and looked at her, now purple, fingers.
"Let's just-" Suddenly there was a big flame, burning up to where they could see.
They all moved quickly toward the light illuminating from something.
A car.
"No! This was our way out!" Xavier stomped his foot down.
"Charlie!" A voice said from behind her.
"Chet" she said and rushed over to him.
"Y-Your lips and hands..." he trailed off, inspecting each.
"H-He locked me in the freezer" She said as Chet ran his thumb over her lips.
"You're so cold" he said and she nodded sadly.
Charlie turned and saw Margaret standing by the car.
"What happened?" Brooke asked her.
"It was so awful! Jingles was attacking me!" Margaret cried.
Charlie knew something was up with Margaret, she couldn't put her finger on it.
"We have to burn it all!"
"What!?"
