Gasp! " Ugh! What happened? Where am I?" Everly lightly blinking her eyes and rubbing her head trying to figure out what just happened to her. Then she gets a jolting pain in her head and gets small flashes of her worried mom and dad and a bright light.  She slightly sits up slowly "Mom?!Dad?! Wha- Ow!" Rubbing her right temple and then she looks to see the greenest patch she is laying on and a green force field surrounding her which then suddenly shatters.

Everly mesmerized and is speechless for the beauty of the sparkles falling upon her. Not a second after the sparkles stop twinkling a large pile of snow falls on top of her.

"Well ... this is new."

She gets up and her clothes have completely changed. She had been wearing a simple sundress and her hair was in a braid. Now she has a whole coat of winter plants  and a hood covered with winter flowers, bush lilies wrapped on her legs as tights,  blue spruce bark  boots and winter health gloves and her hair is down with two long braids. Surprisingly these plants protected her from not being cold and kept her safe and warm.

"Huh? That's weird why am I covered in winter plants?

Suddenly a loud screeching  sound occurs.

Started to get a chill that ran up her spine. Slowly she turns back towards her  left and sees a mountain but then starts looking up and sees that at the top is a large swirl of a cloud with dark red spots with black highlights being dragged from the red spots.

Gulps "Well I know when I am not wanted" turning swiftly towards the opposite direction from the storm.

She turns the opposite way and hears the sound again but in a form of roar there was something off about it as if she was being pulled and called by it. Another roar strikes and she notices a small green sparkles heading towards the storm.  Sigh chuckles a little "Alright whatever you say".

As Everly was hiking up the mountain she starts to notice that the closer she gets the more the roar becomes humanly. It is as if someone is crying for help.

The green sparkles start to fade out little by little the closer she gets to the top of the mountain and closer to the storm. Then, she hears another roar. Inside the roar she can hear a cry of frustration. The frustration of a being who was free but got caged. A cry of the longing to be free. Her ever-present eyes release a tear that rounds down her cheek. Everly gives out a slight whisper "How cruel" and continues to climb.

The higher she goes the harder it gets for her to see where she is going and the colder she starts to feel. 

Everly has begun to tremble the warmth she was receiving from her winter plant clothing has started to deteriorate and had started to lose its original color it had when she was at the bottom of the mountain.

"I better hurry or else I ain't going to get out of this alive." She starts to try to increase her pace but the more she tries to move faster the harder it gets to move through the snow. The longer she's in the cold the more fatigue she starts to feel and is starting to feel drowsy.

Trembling from the cold with a jittery voice " You got this Everly! You're almost there just a little more !..."

It has become pitch black dark and the light she sees is the faint red from the storm. Her vision has become blurry and her steps have become very slow and she's trudging to the top. She finally reaches the top. She sees a large black and red being with snow as a large armor and faintly see's the center of where the storm comes from. Her eyes started to become very heavy. Everly tries to gather all her strength to walk towards the frustrated being but collapses on to the snow and knocks out.
