"You know what?" Malik shouted in Marley's direction steam coming off his voice, "I should have never gone along with your stupid idea to go on a road trip!" Marley rolled her eyes annoyed by his constant whining. 'Guys.'
"You could've stayed home if you were gonna be a big baby about a little bit of cold." Her voice shook as she continued to pretend like she wasn't just as tired and cold as he was. 'Guys.' Malik turned his head to glare at her, hating her every gut right now. All he wanted to do was go home and settle in bed right now, but instead he was stuck on the side of the road with no vehicles in sight and two dead phones . "GUYS!?" Malik and Marley turned around looking at their friend they had completely forgotten about.
They give her a this-better-be-good-or-we'll-leave-you-behind, kinda look. Hannah furrows her eyebrows not liking the look, crossing her arms she hissed, "Well if you weren't so caught up on your little dispute, you'd know I've been calling you two for a while now." Malik raises his eyebrow as a way of telling her to go on, "I have to use the bathroom." Malik and Marley both give each other a smirk and Malik goes, "Well there's a perfectly good ground right behind you." He waves his hand out motioning towards the snow covered woods.
"No way! I'm not peeing like an animal." She shivered at the thought of using the bathroom out in the open, although that might've just been the cold hitting her.
"Suit yourself." Marley spoke as she turned around and resumed her walking, Malik doing the same. "W-wait..." Hannah sighed, her arms falling to her sides in frustration, "Just don't leave, stay put I'll be behind those trees." Malik smirked as if he had accomplished something astonishing and unbelievable. Though that wouldn't be an absolute lie, Hannah used to be head of cheerleading and prom queen and the biggest girly-girl you have ever seen.
"I am so telling everyone about this." He snickered, taking out his phone.
Marley shriveled up her nose, grabbing a chunk of snow from the ground, "Gross you weirdo!" She threw it, hitting Malik in the back of his head. He dropped his phone on the ground causing it to shatter on the ice. "Great going you soulless freak now we don't have a phone!" He picked it up, brushing it off with his cotton glove pouting just a bit at the thought of not having a phone anymore. He got up and brushed off his jeans, his dark brown curls now covered in chunks of snow and dirt he clenched his jaw when a piercing headache washed over him. BANG!
Malik and Marley whipped their heads around in the direction of where the gunshot went off, "Hannah," Marley said in a hushed tone; they made eye contact before running off towards the trees. Marley's heart sank at the sight of nothingness. No Hannah. No footprints. Not even the person who fired the shot, just a trail of fresh blood against the clean white snow. Marley brought her hand towards her mouth a pool of tears gathering in her eyes. "No." She could feel her legs weakening at the thought of Hannah out there hurt.
"Come on! We have to find her," Malik said motioning for her to follow him into the woods. She gulped down a breath of air, her heart rate relaxing slightly. She glanced behind her in hopes that a car would pass by them and they could get out of here, but alas no vehicle came by. Marley nodded her ginger locks falling in front of her icy green eyes; she quickly jogged to keep up to Malik.
They kept their heads down following the trail of blood that became less and less the longer they went on. When the sky started to darken the snow began falling in a squall making the both of them stop to rest at a dead tree. "How much longer do you think we can keep on going? It's freezing out here." Malik whispers the last part rubbing his arms in an attempt to keep his blood circulating.
Marley grins ear to ear, "Not long, not long at all." She lept up from her spot trudging towards him. Malik looked at her confused breaths of smoke coming out of his mouth in thick spouts. "W-what do you mean?"
Marley chuckled grabbing him by the arm pulling him up pointing at something in the distance, "A cabin!" She exclaimed bouncing up and down. Malik sighed in relief before jogged ahead in the direction of the cabin.

Eventually they had reached the cabin. It was a decent size it had been made with a dark brown wood possibly pine or ceader that looked like it would crumble if a leaf were to touch it. The windows and door were painted in a deep navy blue and the pourch was missing several boards and a railing. The door swung open and close everytime the wind blew making an almost animal like screech. =
