Chapter 1 - The Storm

My face burned as I felt the ice grazing across my stone cold cheeks. I could hear their screams as they followed closely on my heels. My whole body was numb and I was exhausted but I could not stop. They had taken everything from me my home, my family, and my peace of mind. Now I was constantly looking over my shoulder, watching my back to protect the only thing I had left, my life. To keep breathing was the only hope I had left. I knew that if my heart kept beating I would somehow make it out of this living hell I had been brought into.
