Klara's POV
"Klara ... " The darkness filled my mind. The frosted leaves in the forest cradled me as I jolted awake.
An eerie silence filled my ears and I suppressed the urge to call out into the unknown pitch-darkness.
I opted to sink deeper into the dry foliage crunching under my flesh. Even without sight, my nakedness became apparent, the ice underneath my feet made a crispy sound as they cracked, scratching along every crevice of my body. At this moment my mind was blank.
I swore softly, swiping at my buttocks and thighs, trying to rub away the numb feeling I felt. I looked at my surroundings and it looked like a cave that had been frozen by winter. I breathed out a sigh as winter breath escaped my lips.
