Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Its cold, and dark. Where am I? Who am I? I open my eyes to see a dimly lit forest around me. You are Willow.

That was the first thing that I heard. But that comes later.

I opened my eyes to the loud beeping of my alarm clock. Moaning, I hit the "off" button and went through my daily routine. After going out the door of my cabin, I pulled out my skateboard and turned my music up loud. I skated of to school in the very early morning in the frost bitten air.

After the hour long trip, I finally arrived at school to see a kid getting picked on by some sophomores. I sighed and went to do what I always did. "Hey leave em' alone, will ya?" I practically groaned at the jerk. "Get lost freshman, unless you want some too." this guy said acting like he's such a hotshot just because he can beat up a kid half his size. "Oh... I'm scared." I taunted him, trying to get his attention away from the poor kid. "I think I need to show you who's boss around here" the guy said cracking his knuckles in emphasis. The group that was surrounding the kid turned their attention to me and the kid ran away. The last thing I saw before I hit the ground, was a fist in my face.

"Great..." I moan looking in the mirror. I was in the girl's bathroom looking at my fresh black eye. I sighed again and took out some makeup. Now, don't get me wrong, I do NOT wear makeup. Its just to cover up the eye. After I finished, I made my way to class, being lucky enough to get there before the bell rang. The rest of the day was pretty boring though.

When the final bell of the day rang, and all the kids rushed out, we all got hit with the blistering winds of the cold. It was snowing! While we where in class, about 2 inches had already collected. I couldn't help but look around in wonder. I mean I had always loved snow. "Please, j-just leave me alone, please. I just wanna go play..." I could hear a little girl's voice whimper out not to far away. "Oh...that's too bad, you're just gonna have to deal with it." It was the same jerk as earlier. I growled out my irritation, but came up with a wonderful idea. I looked at the ground and balled up a good little ball of snow into my hand. With a devious smirk, I chucked it as hard as I could at the bullies. I got a satisfying thud as the snowball hit the jerk dead in the back of his head. He turned around with a furious look on his face and his eyes landed on me. "I'm gonna kill you, you little brat!" he shouted out and ran to me. I whispered an "Oh, shit" as I broke into a run, not having a clue where I was gonna go.
