A/N: I do not own Ice Age. The only characters that are mine are Icea, Raskin, Sapphire, Solifer, Rose, Kaiden, Terra, Jamie, all Six of Icea's kits (later on), all characters from the weasel clan, and Aurora and future kits.

A long time ago, in the time of the Ice Age, there was an assortment of creatures in existence. Some types are still alive today. Some of those kinds are weasels.

On the Northern tip of the valley is a large meadow. In the spring and summer times, it is full of flowers like lavender and daisies. In the winter, ice coats the place, making beautiful designs on the rocks.

That is where a particular weasel family lives. Raskin, the male of the home, is without a wife. His four children are without a mother. The children's' names, from oldest to youngest, are Icea, Solifer, Rose, and Kaiden. Solifer, Rose, and Kaiden are thriving in the house.

Their mother's absence is the reason that Icea fails to thrive. She looks so much like their mother that Raskin hates her for it. He beats Icea constantly. She has scars lining her body, proof of the abuse. She is miserable in that wretched home.

Each day, as she is forced to reside in that hell that is her life, she grows angrier and angrier. There is no reason that she should have to put up with all the abuse that has been laid before her. Even so, she willingly takes the pain. She fears that, if she doesn't, her siblings may be next.

As her life passes before her very eyes, everything seems hopeless. She isn't sure how she can escape the hellhole. She is afraid to try. Though she is afraid, with each strike against her, her courage begins to rise drastically. Unbeknownst to her, Icea is about to have the adventure of a lifetime. She may even find love along the way. One thing is for sure. She will find the freedom that she always wanted. The freedom that should've been hers from the start. Her life is about to be changed forever.
