A little filly forgets her old life after a terrible incident to find herself struggling for her life in a barren iceland.

A little pale blue filly once had a happy life living with her family. That all changed one fateful day when she lost almost all of her memory and ended up awake in a field of snow, as far as you could see. In order to get some help, she would have to travel through the snow and ice to find something or somepony that could help, that is if she could survive long enough to get there.

Please note that this is a fan story made with my own O.C.s . Please don't simply dislike it because it has O.C.s . This is my first story so I would appreciate constructive critisizm. I am kinda sad with how many dislikes this has gotten already, so please tell me nicely what i should fix to make it more likeable.

Forgotten Life

A blizzard blew across the icy land. Snow up to somepony's knees slowly rose with the falling snow. The once sunny skies were grey with storm clouds. Wind made the air filled with streams of snow across the valley.

Trudging through the snow was a pale blue filly, the snow was up to her belly as she lifted her frozen hooves up to her chin and sunk them into the snow in front of her. Her nose, tips of her hooves, and tips of her ears were purple from frostbite. Frozen tears clung to her cheeks as thin icicles. Her purple scarf and green jacket was all she had left to keep her warm, other than the lone boot that was on her front left hoof after the others got stuck and were being carried in her mouth. The little filly's pale dark blue, pale purple, and pale pink main and tail trailed along behind her. The filly shivered as a gust of wind swept through her fur and main, she had little recollection of what had happened to her before she woke up, and couldn't remember her name. She had earlier noticed a dark red patch on her forelock that felt frozen to the touch, but thought nothing of it. She trekked on, hoping to find a place to rest and warm up, but the blizzard made it to see anything.

Her hooves ached so much she had to rest for a minute before they felt like falling off. I'm going to die if I don't find a place to rest soon, she thought as she took a deep breath and clenched her chattering teeth and pushed on. She looked ahead and gasped. A cave was barely visible though the storm. Her purple eyes sparkled with new hope in her heart. It was about a kilometer away (a little less than a mile), seemingly too long for her hooves to travel, but she knew she had to try. Lifting hoof after hoof, she quickened her pace. She was desperate to get there before hypothermia took over. She soon found out it wasn't as easy as she hoped.

First part of my story. Hope you all like it. I will had a picture of the little filly soon.

Struggle

Suddenly, her back right hoof sunk deeper than it normally should have. She began to panic as she swiftly slid backwards, feeling her leg submerge in the water. Panicking, she frantically tried to pull herself up. The frigid touch of the water rushed up her spine as she began to pull out. Her muscles tensed and she slid back further.

If I don't get a grip on this snow, I'll drown!!! she thought as she squirmed. She knew it was useless to yell for help, because nopony would be out in this arctic wasteland. But she had to try.

"HELP!!!" she screamed. "SOMEPONY! HELP ME!"

Right as she finished her sentence, she managed to find the edge of the broken ice beneath her. She kicked off of it and launched herself forward and away from the hole. With a sigh of relief, she rested for a minute to let her heart slow down.

As she stood up to continue on, she froze as in her tracks as she heard a terrifying crack that sent a chill down her spine. Barely breathing, she cautiously walked forwards. Another crack. Her heart sank as she realized where she was and what was to come. The layer of snow had lowered greatly since the hole in which she fell upon. She knew she had no other choice. On a frozen layer of ice on a lake, and to get across alive, she would have to book it. Luckily, she had regained a bit of her strength while she rested.

Taking a deep breath, she carefully put a hoof in front of her. Leaning of her hind legs, she leaped forwards. As she ran, she heard the ice cracking dangerously close behind her.
She stumbled as she felt some ice collapse beneath her. She quickened her pace as much as she could to get away. The cracking of ice began to slow as she ran closer to the other end of the lake. Starting to slow down, the filly looked behind her. The ice stopped cracking near her about a few meters away. Looking back ahead, she found that the storm had gotten worse over here. she could see the cave more clearly now, much bigger than now then before. She wanted to continue on, but her hooves were aching too much to move. A filly her age would be able to handle the cold better than her, but she was very fragile.

Calming her breath, she tried taking a step forward. Suddenly, the ice beneath her completely caved in. Yelping in surprise, she fell forward, letting go of her boots and sending the in the air ahead of her. Scrambling to stay above the icy water, she reached for the edge of the ice, but it fell under her hoof.

Yelling for help, she pushed and kicked against the water with her hooves. Trying again, she placed her hooves on the edge. This time, she was able to lift herself up, but as soon as she placed her back hoof on, it broke, submerging her as she screamed. Reaching for the surface, she hit her head on ice. Her eyes flew open as she realized the current had pushed her under the frozen ice. The water stung her eyes, but she didn't care anymore. Seeing the light from the crack, she swam towards it, but pushing against the current was no use. Desperately, she hit the ice above her. It was much stronger than before, and she panicked as her chest ached in pain from the need for air. Her vision began to blur and could barely see anymore. Finally, she cracked the ice, but it wasn't enough. With her last bit of strength, she slammed into the ice, with her head and hooves. She was unable to smash the ice and reach the surface before her vision hazed red and black. The last thing she thought she saw was a black figure above the ice as she drifted into the dark sea.
