The blizzard blew gusts of wind in her face, nearly blinding in their force. She could barely see her own feet take steps, let alone feel her toes. On a food shortage, she couldn't really blame the family for kicking her out. After all, they were supporting a stranger, too. It wasn't their fault they were looking out for their children. She had just happened upon them at the wrong time. At least they had given her extra clothing for the weather, though it wasn't much.
Her stolen boots wrapped up to her knees, insulating as much heat in as possible. The deer-skin pants were her own, stolen from home. Her own shirt, another warmer one, and a deer-skin jerkin were doing their best to insulate her lungs. But, her fur-lined cloak underneath a stiff, leather overcoat were the real deal. She could count the number of things on her body that were stolen. But, she'd had no choice. And now, she was about to freeze to death because of that 'choice'.
She could have been back at home, all warm and toasty with her favorite maid, hiding her sword from her parents again. She could have been reading by a fire. She could have been wrapped in silk and fur, all comfortable and safe. But, no, she'd just had to defy the rules again. It really wasn't her fault that she'd slipped out of the castle in the middle of a skermish. Thankfully, a little 'Amazon' hadn't been worth their notice, even with her surprisingly short shorn hair (Her parents had been furious about that one, but, she really liked it. It was much better than that weird bob they insisted was the 'new look').
As her body became increasingly numb, her limbs began to droop. No! I have to keep moving. I'll die! I'll die.... Oh, god, I don't want to die.... A whimper escaped her lips as she stumbled, slowly picking herself up from the ground. No matter how many layers she had on, the wind and snow had made sure to pierce through as much clothing as fast as possible. Now, her boots were soaked, her pants were frozen, and her shirts didn't feel nearly as comfortable as before. Her breasts ached from their stiff posture, though she didn't know how any wind or snow could have gotten past all of her clothes.
More stumbles proceeded the first, her body moving slower and slower to get up the next time. Her eyes were slowly slipping shut, not that she could have seen anything anyways. On her last stumble, she stayed down. I don't want to die. God, I don't want.... I'm so....tired.... Curling up into a ball, she let the snow fall, not moving anymore.
And, as she slipped into her half-frozen dreams, the shadow in the snow never once crossed her mind.
