Freeze

All I remember is seeing the back of a pony's head, the comfortable leather seats, and even the kind pony who was passing out food. And then I felt a shake and that one pony with the food had a terrified look on her face. I remember that face, then it went black.... When I woke up all I could see was white, then off in the distant I saw a faint reddish orange glow.... Fire. It was quite a challenge to get up but I forced myself to move, I could barely feel my legs. I stumbled over to the fire, I could feel it getting warmer as I kept moving but also because the fire was fresh and hot. I finally made it and collapsed on the floor, barely moving a muscle, my heart seemed to slow down and the great winds from the storm were killing the fire. When the fire blew out I started to shiver... I was freezing to death.

I tried my best to use a heat spell but I was too weak, unicorns can't use magic when they are weak, and my wings are too cold and stiff to move. I made refuge inside the crashed plane but I knew I couldn't stay for long because of wolves. I managed to make a fire out of some of the plane materials. I finally got some more of my strength up and used my horn to create a faint light for it was pitch black outside. I could hear the strong winds and the faint howls of wolves... It would only be a matter of time before....

HELLO! I called but there was no answer, everyone must have died. I found a few dead ponies and took their warm clothes to wear so I wouldn't get anymore cold than I already was. I managed to find a backpack and took some of the airplane food and water before I ventured out into wherever I was going. If only I had taken the train....
I have been traveling for about 2 hours now and my legs are stiff, I can feel the cold piercing my hooves. My steps have been getting heavier and more slow as I continue, I have to stop soon or else I'll get Frostbite....

I have now been traveling for what seems like ages, the plane wreck is very far behind and I know that I can't go back. I have to settle down somewhere where I can eat and rest. I sit down on the cold snowy floor and make an effort to start a fire....
I finally get one going and roast some marshmallows and eat some of the packed peanuts they had left on the airplane, after eating and drinking some water I feel and little better and fall asleep.... not knowing if I will ever wake up...

I'm walking again and I see a forest but I better avoid it, I don't want to make any contact with wolves but I should at least get to the edge of the forest and use some trees as protection from this wind. I should keep a watch out for any lakes or bears, I don't want to meet a bear but a lake could be useful. I wish my friends were here... with Rainbow, she would help protect us from the wolves. Fluttershy with her knowledge and gift with animals. Applejack would help us build a fire and a shelter. Rarity would make us warm clothes. And Pinkie who would keep our hopes up....
Thinking about my friends just makes me want to sit down and cry, but I know I must keep moving on and stay strong... somehow....

As I walk I think about my home, Ponyville. The home I'm so lucky to live in, the place I met my friends.... The place I defeated Discord, Nightmare Moon, Tirek, Trixie, and many others. And I will never forget the day I turned into an Alicorn, so honored to be part of the royal family. So honored to have sch great friends and be the Element of Magic. But I can't think about the happy memories forever because I know I probably never get home....

Wolves.... wolves... I can hear them, all around I just hear the blood curdling cry of a wolf. Can't this nightmare just end? I can hear the wolves getting closer and it's only a matter of life and death. I've dealt with wolves before, Timberwolves yes, but not real wolves. Before I left the plane I found a small knife, this wont help me completely fend them off, but I hope it helps in some way....
Can you hear it? the wolf mother feeding it's young and the whimper of a rejected Omega, the growls and snorts of the great Alpha. I can hear it all now. I'm getting closer....

I'm running now, but I can't feel my legs. I can only feel the hot breath on my neck from the wolves right on my tail. I can hear the snorts and growls of the great Alpha leading his pack on. I've used most of my strength forcing myself to hold the knife with my magic and swat and the wolves while I'm so weak. One has lunged at me but I barely dodged it and now I'm stumbling forward down a hill of white. I have landed with a large thud and a large crack, my leg is broken now but I can barely feel it. I'm just laying hear in the snow.... slowly dying from being too cold.... why did it have to end like this? I could be back home, warm and with my friends.... knowing I'll never see them again claws at my heart.... knowing my last moments will be here, seeing endless white.... It's getting darker now... all I can see is Frost....
