Trees [Tori, Geebs]

When Nilly Harrison open the door, she was not ready for the cold. A small jacket and a scarf was all Sabs manage to be able to find for her. The icyness in the air bit at her nose and ears as she shut the house door behind her. She shoved her cold hands into the pockets of the jacket, trying to keep warm. It was Sabrina's fault she was out here. Her irresponible older sister. The girl just had to forget to stop by the doctor's and pick up her medicine. Nilly had offered to go because didn't want Sabrina to get even sicker, but that didn't mean she enjoyed it.

Luckily, the ground wasn't covered in snow. But no doubt if began to rain, it would indeed turn into snow. It was more the wind than anything else that made it so cold. She should have taken the time to tie her mess of red hair into a ponytail before she left but she didn't want to do it now. The thought of reexposing her hands to the cold night's air made her shudder. She reluctantly pulled one hand out of her pocket long enough to pull the hood of the jacket onto her head.

The district was empty. Most of the lights outside were off. Nilly would have to go to the doctor's house for the medicine rather than the office since they were probably closed like everything else. Thank god it wasn't too far away. A thud while she was walking make her stop dead in her tracks. Nilly quickly looked around for the source of it. Her eyes found nothing. Why was it everything became five times scarier when she was walking alone in the streets at night. It was like everything suddenly became a target.

Images of her parent's kidnapping ran through her mind. Sabrina was convinced that they were dead, Nilly was convinced otherwise. She turned the corner, and let out a little gasp as she found the source of the thud. A boy was lying on the ground in front of her. Without really thinking, she rushed forward forgetting how cold it was. "Hello?" Her voice was quiet and unsure. "Hello?"

Nilly tried shaking the boy a little, but he was extremely cold and didn't move and when she did. Standing up, she looked for the nearest building. He would need to be some place warm. There was a building not 10 feet from her. It was the supple store for most of the district's animal food, but it was closed now. Nilly looked back at the boy, he was a lot bigger than she was. At 16 she was tall, yes, but certainly not built. She figured she'd have to try. After about 10 minutes, she managed to drag the boy over to the store, open the door (perhaps she actually had to pick the lock, but we'll forget the details), and pull him inside.

She didn't consider how he might take her next reaction, but she needed to get him concious. The redhead ran to the back of the store to where the water was kept and took a jug. It was rather dark, and she tripped over a few things on the way back. She'd have to worry about finding a light switch later. Nilly uncapped the jug and poured a bit of the water onto the boy's face where she had propped him up.
