"I've got coats and blankets for Shiloh and I. You can lower the temp Elias." Essar said, standing there feeling useless.
"I've got coats and blankets for Shiloh and I. You can lower the temp Elias." Essar said, standing there feeling useless.
Elias sighed. "Fine. I'll lower the temperature. Just hurry with those coats Essar. You're gonna need them…" He moved his hand to Winter's temples, hoping that this would respond better.Winter felt the pull to the cold grow stronger. Elias was there, she knew it. He was lowering the temperature so that it would wake her up… It was working, she just hoped he knew it…
"This way Shiloh." Essar turned down the hall. He reached into a closet. "Hmm. Your a bit on the small side. I think this one will work. It was one of Teela's…" Essar's expression grew melancholy again as he handed Shiloh the coat.
Winter felt the cold intensify. She was trying so hard to reach it… While on the side where Elias was trying to wake Winter, she started convulsing. Elias was losing his grip. She was throwing herself around, and Elias had to put his full weight on Winter's chest to keep her head still. "Essar hurry up! I think she's getting worse…"
He pulled on his parka and threw a blanket over Shiloh's head. "I don't have anything else that'll work for lekku." He muttered. He jammed his hat onto his head. "Okay Elias! We're good!" He shouted.
Elias dropped the temperature even more. He hoped that this would either relax Winter or bring her back into reality… WInter felt the cold hit her even more. She was so close to waking up, and she hoped Elias felt it too…
Essar walked into the cockpit. "I'm turning everything off except the Hyperdrive and Life Support. Cold messes with some of the things."
Elias nodded. He realized that Winter's breath had become more even, and she wasn't struggling as much. He took that as a good sign, and dropped the temperature even lower for hopefully the last time…
Winter was struggling. She was almost awake. She just needed one more burst of cold, and she would be freed from her nightmares…
(Gtg.)
(Bye)
Elias hoped that Shiloh didn't mind that he dropped the temperature by another twenty degrees. Winter felt something click in her mind. She finally released herself from her past, and she went toward the cold…
(Hello? Erudite you on?)
Shiloh's heart pounded. The cold was making her dizzy. Essar had thrown a blanket over her head and said something blurry. "Is Winter okay?" she asked. The words felt funny on her lips. No, she couldn't feel her lips. She wrapped the warm coat more around her shoulders, but it did nothing to help. "Winter?" she whispered clumsily. "Essar? Elias?" Her head felt heavy.
(Now I is the only one here…)
(Winter? Lavender?)
(Hi I'm back)
"It's okay Shiloh. I'll get a small heat generator going." Essar chattered through his teeth.
"Essar, don't worry about me. Go… G-Go check on Wint-t-t-t-t-ter. And Elias."
"Nah, I'm going to worry about you. We both aren't accustomed to this cold. C'mon."
"No, I'm fine, see?" She extended her hand, which was normal, towards him. "See? I'm fine," she whispered through gritted teeth. "Go."
Essar sighed. "Fine. Ask Hi-5 if you need the heater though." He walked out of the closet.
"Ok," she called back. Once Essar was out of sight, she relaxed the strained muscles in her arm and her hand shook violently. She curled up on the floor and her mind wandered.
(Winter? Lavender?)
(Hi. I'm off to bed.)
(Ok, TTYL)
