Winter jolted again. "Don't worry about us. I think we can handle ourselves. Remember, I'm in your head. Wait, that sounds weird… Anyway, the only way she could have known is if you were talking out loud instead of in your head. Don't sweat it. I see your house. We are really close, we're going to have 5 cloak the ship, and drop us off, so no one can see us."
The door opened and, indeed, it was Estelle's mother. She walked without a limp, but her movements were slightly weighted down. "Come on," she said. Estelle didn't move. "Come on," she spoke again, this time sharper. Estelle's heart hammered, but she stayed frozen to her spot. Winter is coming. Help is coming. Winter is coming, she told herself. She didn't notice her mother approaching with quick, swift steps. She only noticed when her mother grabbed her painfully by her wrist and began dragging her from the room. Estelle screamed. "Come on! Worthless," she muttered under her breath. Estelle's eyes began to glow again. Neither woman noticed until a wicked blast of cold air sent both of them tumbling back into the room.
WINTER, WINTER ARE YOU HERE? Estelle thought. Her mother still grasped her wrist. She tried to pull away but to no avail. WINTER! DON'T COME!
Winter was in her seat. She felt something inside her catch. She doubled over in pain, and fell out of her seat, and her eyes started to glow. Elias was on her level. His voice was muffled, and all she could hear was "DON'T COME!" She looked at Elias in pain, "We have to get there faster. Estelle is being taken. We have to get there before she is taken out of the room…"
Estelle struggled to get her mother's fingers off of her wrist. The woman's grip was deathly tight. "Get off.. get off…" she muttered. Her eyes began to turn a dangerous color of icy blue. Winter, something is happening!
(@firestarter for pete's sake where are you?!)
(IDK, I think we need him/her rn…)
Elias looked at Winter. Then he roared at Essar, "Get there faster!!! Winter has made an empathy link!!! She's helping Estelle out by letting her use some of her energy. She draining herself…" Winter managed to contact Estelle through the haze in her brain. "Some of the blue glow is me… I've made an empathy link, it means that I'm helping you with my power. Some of the blue glow is me, and some of the cold. Without me, there would just be a faint glow, and a cool breeze… I don't know what you are, but I shouldn't be able to do this… It happened automatically… Wait. There was one person I made an empathy link with… I thought she was gone… Unless. No. That's impossible…"
(Like seriously, we are at the point where we shouldn't continue without them.)
(Ok, I'll wait to respond.)
(Where did they go? I thought maybe a vacation, but idk anymore)
(Yeah, they're really not active anywhere at all…)
(Maybe, computer issue?)
(Idk. Does anyone know them? Like, irl?)
(No.)
(Neither do I.)
(I'M SO SORRY GUYS i've had eocs and family stuff and agh it's been a mess)
(This was their last comment.)
(Maybe family stuff got really serious)
(Yeah, that's what I was thinking…)
(I'm gonna go with that. Family stuff may take a while… Especially if it's like a loss)
(You can't see me, but I'm nodding. XD)
(KK, that's cool)
(Should we keep going?)
(Let's wait for Lavender's go ahead)
(She's not on right now. She's with real-life friends.)
(Heyo, I'm back!)
(Not how long I will be though)
(Oh, yay!)
(Keeping it alive)
(Stayin' alive)
(Should I continue or should we still wait for firestarter…?)
