As I ran up to you, my fingers

gently curled around your wrist

but you quickly turned around

and pressed your small hands against

my chest and knocked me down.

A smile flickered on my

lips as a uncontrollable

and shaky laugh escaped them.

A tiny smile broke out

on yours but as soon as

it came, it disappeared.

What has happened to

you, Azura? Your eyes

are now a dull shade of

blue. Your hair lacks the

shine, the beauty it once

held. Your lips are frozen

with a pale blue and your

skin is as cold as the ice

underneath your feet.
