After scrambling for what felt like much too long, he found a torch and began to make for the shed. He held it carefully so as to keep it from blowing out, not caring that it burned to hold it close.

Helda waited, growing ever colder.

Finally, he arrived and knelt down, holding the torch toward her.

“Thank you.” She seemed to instantly look a little better. Then she attempted to put her hand in the fire.

He jolted, pulling it back. "Don't do that! You might get hurt..."

"Okay... What should I do with the torch?"

“There,” she said, pointing to a small oil lamp, one of the only things other than them in the shack.

He carefully lit it, keeping it upright and steady so as not to risk spilling fuel. Then he ground the torch against the earth, extinguishing it. He took her into his arms.

She relaxed, his warmth finally soaking into her. Her lips began turning back to their normal color, and she didn’t feel so icy to the touch. “Thank you.”

He pulled her closer, breath shaky as some of his tension and fear finally released. "Do... do you know what that was?"

“No. You saved me. Again.”

"I'll always be hear for you." Tears stung his eyes. "I'm just glad you're okay."

“Me too.” She looked up and kissed him.

He melted into her, feeling her restored warmth. The terror of the situation felt like it had frozen him too, and now he thawed, feeling happy and alive.

“I love you Tayen. So much,” she breathed.

That's alright! I often so things for fun and tend to justify them later or hardly justify them at all.

Tayen found himself feeling strangely giddy, as he often did with her. He deepened the kiss, hands tangling in her hair, then running down her neck and back.

She kissed him back, never wanting the moment to end. She felt perfectly warm with him, no trace of the cold that had wracked her body moments ago.

They both began to feel a strange, uncomfortable buzzing beneath their skin. Reluctantly, Taken broke the kiss, though he didn't let go of Helda. "Do you feel that?"

“Yeah…do you know what it is?”

"I have no idea." The strange feeling seemed to increase in frequency, growing sharp.

“I don’t like this. It feels like something bad is going to happen.”
