To be more.

We all ran over the piles of money, panting as blood and sweat fell off me. I could feel Tia's heavy breathing on my back as she struggled to stay alive. Lulu trailed just behind me as sprinted closer and closer to the exit. Just as I got to the caves exit I looked behind me as Lulu ran out. I saw the dragon land on the ground splashes of money landing all around it. I couldnt see the other dragon from the mountains of money but I could see the dragon looking at him, looking upset. I didnt bother to stick around though and ran off out the cave entrance.

"Come on move, move" I said ushiring Lulu down the rocks. We hit the snow, it was deeper than it looked almost completly covering Lulu so only her eyes could see and the snow was just below my back. We ran through the thick snow, Lulu could bearly keep up and I wasnt faring much better as copius amounts of dragon blood trailed behind me.

After about a minute of running we gained a fair distance between us and the cave. I heard the dragon roar and saw him run out the cave they way we came. It lifted up into the air and luckily took off the other way. Undoubtdly looking for us.

Our strugle threw the snow was starting to become hopeless. This wasnt just a little bit of snow the night before when you would shovel it out the driveway the next morning, No. This was a proper storm. The worst I had ever been in. Ice hit your face battering you as the wind alternated between left and right. Ice slowly krept up you as it froze your hair and your joints start to jar up. Lulu couldnt take it anymore and she had to get on my back.

10 minutes became 20, 20 became 30, at around the 40 mark I had lost all hope.

"Lulu" I said my teeth chattering.

"Check on y-your s-sister" There was no response. I stoped and looked at Lulu, passed out died I didnt know. I layed them both down in the snow curling around them. I checked to see if they were breathing and how there heart was. I alternated between the two in rubing there chest to keep them warm. This was it. I know ive said it before but how could I get out of this one. There was no back up coming, there was no Sunny no Cosmos no nothing, just us. I didnt even have any warm clothes for them. I should of stopped the camping trip. If I had done that than none of this would of happened. How could Cosmos be so ignorant to let me come out here. Sunny and Cosmos both!... But who am I kidding, wether it was dumb luck or just plain stupidity I've lost. Ive lost everything. Ive lost the dream, Ive lost my family, Ive lost love, And now ive lost my life. Maybe I should of just let us all die back in that cave. That way we wouldnt have to suffer to the torture of waiting. Waiting to die....

I looked down at Tia stroking her mane. how had Tia held out this long? The girl is 8... her body is better built from birth to handle situations like this. Any other 8 year old would of died back at th house... I wonder if she wants to live. Like is she just exsisting because she her body hasn't given out yet or... or is it something more. She wants to stay alive, she is fighting to stay alive, she has too. Tia wouldn't give up. I can't just quit and roll over. No, no im not ready to die. Im still here, Im still here and im still fighting. Im not giving up you wana know why!?! Because im not done! Im not done with life! I will keep fighting till my last breath! Cause there's something left worth fighting for! Nothing is putting me down!

I stood back up purely running on adrenaline. I put them both back on my back and started walking again. I didnt look at the snow as an endless abyss anymore, I looked it as a test. A test of my will. And believe me my will had never been this strong.

Another 10, 20 minutes went on. Maybe it was a lost cause but I dont care. My sisters havnt given up on me and I havnt given up on them. I will get these two too safety home even if it means at my exspense. I will do it god dammit, I will make it out of this alive.

Another 5 minutes went past and there was no change of sceneray. Just snow. But then something changed. Something that changed everything forever

"warmth?" I said.

Had my body gone so numb that I was imagining warmth? No it was warmth, legit heat! B-but how? I trekked on further and faster the snow got thinner but around me everything was still dark from snow. The same ice kept hitting me in the face but now it didnt hurt. I didn't feel the pain.

I kept moving forward always looking behind me to see if someone was following me. But then there was grass. I looked to my left and right. It was like a dome. All the snow ran round some sort of dome keeping this grass on the inside and the weather out from the top. I walked further in and I saw something

"a stone" I said. "Maybe I am in heaven"

I walked towards the stone It was so enticing. I stood over it some crystaly blue aura came out of it, infact it was a crystal, a crystal in the shape of a heart

"a crystal heart" I said.

The ground begun to shake again. At first I thought the dragon had found us, but then I realised it wasnt him. The grass below me started to wave in the opposite direction of where the heart is. Then some low frequency humming sound started to play. It begun to get louder. I heard a cracking noise. I looked to my left and saw a giant crystal slowly begin to emerge from the ground. I heard another cracking sound and another and then another, and another. Tens of crystals started emerging coming out from the ground. And then the same blue aura coming from the heart came from me. It begun to lift me up into the air. I grabbed Tia and Lulu and held them tightly to my chest as they had the same aura coming from them. The sound get even louder picking up faster and going higher and higher! More and more crystals came up from around me all growing faster forming shapes. The area of where the grass was grew at an alarming rate. I could no longer see any snow all the bad weather was gone and I saw the clear night sky. A giant beam of blue with and yellow white shot up from the crystal heart growing larger and larger enveloping me. I wanted to scream but whats the point. I just hugged Tia Lulu as everything around me grew whiter and whiter and adventurely again.

I passed out.
