Instead of going into the encampment, I went straight into my house after telling everyone that I will meet with them later, in which they barely accepted for me to go alone. Passing my four ice guards and entering the house I walk directly into my bedroom, I place Kate on my bed and covered her up with a sheet. looking at her, I get reminded of how beautiful she is, ‘almost like a doll…. I even asked her out before she started dating…. Nate, of course I was turned down and there was a bit of bad blood but we grew together as actual friends.’ I just stroked her head, while telling her she is safe now for a few minutes and as I got up to leave, I heard the a small movement from the bed, I saw that Kate move her head to face me, even though her eyes were still in a dead state, I was happy to see that she finally showed a kind of reaction. “I’ll be back soon” I said, as I rubbed her head once more and she did not react to my words as I left.

I walked past the gate and into the mess hall to meet up with Trent, Red, and Doc. they were sitting in one of its corners. the mess hall had two giant tables that could fit 60 people each. I walked up to them without getting food since I was not in the mood to eat and it seemed everyone except trent felt the same.

“Did you know that girl?” red asked.

“Yes before the change she was one of my friends and one of my closests friends girlfriend” I replied a little horse.

“sorry” doc said

“why would you be, you don’t know her... it’s my problem, I need to worry, not you.” I said a bit angered since I did not want their pity.

“so are you going to kill her and end her misery?” Trent asked.

I never really thought about that. I am not such a nice person to end someone's misery in such a way. No it’s that I am selfish, I already lost to much to kill someone I want to protect from harm, even if I already failed once on that. If I were to kill her, it would only prove how weak I am. I am not someone who is trying to run away from his past, I need to prove that I can protect my past, present, and my future. So I just simply said ‘no’ and left them to get food and bring it back to my house.

I was passing the gate guard when he said. “hey are y’all ok you all came back all gloomy so I am just curious. are y’all alright?”

I forced the most natural smile I could “ yeah we are fine Timothy, thank you for worrying though.”

“I see well that's good and all, take care and do eat with us once and awhile, I'm pretty sure the outside is rough but that's no reason to eat alone in your house.”

I just nodded and said “right” as I walked past him. On the way there I saw a group of 3 horned rabbits. I was debating on what to do with them, though it only took a second for me to decide I instantly shot the three in their vital points with a thin enough piece of ice, so it would not damage the fur or meat. Creating 3 ice wolves that are a meter tall and 2.5 meters long, to carry me and the rabbits to my house, every now and then I would create ice wolves to stay away from the community and thin monsters down around my house. Another plus is that they make excellent scouts since I could connect to their senses to see what's around besides my four ice guards with their spears I have about 20 ice wolves and I would put them at around C+ or B- rank mainly since I could only make them as tough as iron so far, but as I get stronger so will my creations. Another thing that I noticed, is that I can change the temperature of their limbs without changing temperature of the complete body until they die, so I made their bodies into room temperature but their teeth and claws are a bit colder than ice, for better penetration. Another good thing is, that they slowly regenerate their ice bodies back, so I do not have to repair every scratch they get while fighting. the bad side however is that I can only create three new wolves a day, without feeling tired.

Arriving at my house, I can see my guards greet me with a small bow, before continuing their patrols. Inside my house, I have a special ice being with four arms that is my cook for the animals, me and my wolves catch. ‘with all things considered, it has almost been a month since it happened, but the chaos calmed down quickly’ if I am to guess, It would most likely be whoever started this, is currently messing with our memories or our state of mind since killing seems natural for me now, however, I don't care I already got enough on my plate and I am not a story’s protagonist that becomes completely powerful and fights the one who changed the world to get it back into the old ways. I am the person who wants an easy and fun life and I will bear any hardships for my friends, even though I always contradict myself, it is because humans are strange creatures and will never understands themselves. But I do, I understand that I will never truly get myself’.

I place down the three rabbits on the counter leaving it to the chef to clean and prepare them for a later date. Walking towards the door, I take out the rabbit stew then I walk inside. Seeing her there I smiled softly, but even that could not help to over shadow how depressed I was. I approached and she turned her head towards me, seeing that, I knew she could be helped since she is still responsive. I sit her up and I start spoon feeding her, as a nurse would spoon feed a cripple. After she finished, I laid her back down and covered her up. looking out the window I can see it is already getting dark, so I went back into the kitchen after looking at Kate one more time. Seeing that my chef was getting to work, I headed to my couch to sleep the day away and hope for a better tomorrow.

But little did I know, that tomorrow would bring me more despair and pain then the first day.
