       I noticed the wind had picked up dramatically while I was in the
       Storeroom. It was going to be bone chilling cold, and it will be
       an effort to walk because I'll be walking into the wind or
       against it. Walking into the wind reminds of pushing on a wall
       that won't budge yet you still try to move it. I expected to get
       to the hut sometime in the afternoon. I didn't know if Mistress
       would be up and already gone or if she'd be up and waiting for
       me. I'd find out as soon as I walked into the hut, and not
       before, and pushed that thought to the back of my mind. I needed
       to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. The
       wind was picking up again. It had become gusty and the fresh
       snow that was falling was being blown all over the place
       including into my face. I hadn't thought to wrap anything around
       my neck to keep that warm, so I dipped my chin as far down as it
       would go and would lift my eyes to see if I was still heading in
       the right direction. I couldn't stop, I knew that. My legs were
       feeling heavy and felt as if they were burning. I didn't think I
       could feel anything in my toes either. I picked up the pace; it
       felt as if I weren't really moving or going anywhere and I tried
       to recall what, if anything, had been said about the winds here
       during the winter. Other than they help create the snow drifts
       that are often leaning against a building or where there's snow
       that can partially cover a roof; completely cover a doorway
       which then means you're not going anywhere anytime too soon.
       Snow is heavy or it can be, and if the roof is weak, there's a
       very good possibility that the snow will cave in and then
       there'll be roof damage too.
       My eyes were beginning to water and because the temperature was
       also dropping, I could feel the wetness freeze on my cheek. I
       gave a short laugh that became lost in the howling wind. It was
       dark too, but I think that was because of the clouds that kept
       pace with me as I continued walking or struggling which is more
       accurate. I had pulled the hood up to cover most of my head but
       that was a moot point when the wind snatched it right off. I
       could feel the material behind me as it buffeted against my neck
       and head. My thoughts turned a bit morbid because I began to
       wonder how long it would take for me to freeze if I got lost? I
       didn't think or believe that anyone would be sent to find me. I
       was a slave who was worth what? Nothing, absolutely nothing.
       Obviously, I liked to daydream, and I have unrealistic fantasies
       as well. Little good they did me now, but I was willing to try
       and do anything at the moment to get my mind off and away from
       the dark side of things. Reminded me too much of negativity and
       I wanted nothing to do with that.

       says to ALL:
       Because I wasn't paying attention to where my feet were going,
       and I ended up tripping over a few rocks that were clumped
       together as well as some twigs or tree seems to have grown
       through them. It reminded me of vines that were so thin you
       really couldn't see them. It would appear that these vines after
       I stepped into the trap wrapped themselves around my ankle and
       top part of the boot. I felt myself leaning forward. Even put my
       hands out to prevent the fall itself but that didn't work. In
       fact, nothing I tried worked and I ended up rolling down a small
       hill and when I reached the bottom, my body slammed into a tree.
       It knocked the breath right out of me. I could hear myself
       breathing. It was really called gasping. I was gasping for air
       and that sound – the deep breaths sounded as if that person was
       very sick.
       All I could do was lay there. I remembered to breathe and not
       take gulps and gulps of air. As far as I could tell nothing was
       broken. Bruised yes, but not broken. I felt the tears form but
       not fall. I didn't like crying. There was nothing wrong with it,
       but I preferred not to cry. I didn't think it was a sign of
       weakness but rather strength. When I did cry, I wanted to be
       alone. In a room by myself. No one else around or near to ask if
       I was alright. I am alright. It's just there are times when I
       have to cry because I need to cry and when I do cry, I feel so
       much better. It's as if someone had been listening to what I had
       to say and was doing what they could to make me feel better. I
       felt as if the weight I was carrying on my shoulders suddenly
       became much lighter and that was as close to feeling euphoric as
       I could get. But there's someone else that might be able to help
       with this as well. Though I'm not sure if he'll be able to right
       this moment but I'm going to ask, nonetheless. I'm not sure how
       time had passed, or even if time was still in motion because if
       it was, then I was going to try and move so I can get back on my
       feet and get to the hut. I still couldn't move and didn't
       understand why because was broken. Bruised, yes. Broken no. I'm
       sure the cold had something to do with my immobility and hoped
       that it wouldn't last long. The longer I remained in this
       position, the more difficult it was going to be to move. I had
       to pick up where I left off and once I began walking, I would
       pick up the pace.<br><BR>
       Snow was still falling, and it was sticking to everything. I
       moved one leg and wanted to cry out, but it wouldn't do any good
       except to attract some of the wild animals that roamed Hulneth
       and right now I didn't want to force a face-to-face introduction
       with any of them. Maybe some other time, but not right now. Now
       I would have to be vigilant about the beasts too. And to keep an
       eye out for reasonable shelter since the wind has picked up
       again. It was howling now, and it was rolling around the forest,
       bouncing off the trees and and making its way back to me. It was
       an eerie sound and I shivered uncontrollably to get it out of
       the system – my system – and made another attempt to move a leg.
       It slid a little and I heard my victory yell, ”Oh! Yay me!” I
       tried to move the other leg, but it was caught on something. I
       pulled up with my upper body and saw the tree that I had hit was
       in front of me. I figured the other leg had somehow become
       caught around the side of the tree, so I tried again, this time
       I moved in the opposite direction and after a few ehn I was able
       to move the leg, bend it slightly at the knee and bring it out
       from behind the tree. I needed a break after that! My head fell
       back into the snow, and I lay there once more catching my
       breath.<br><BR>

       The light seemed to be fading or was it just my imagination
       seeing things that weren't really there or taking place? I
       shrugged, not knowing the answer. And I almost told myself that
       I didn't really care either. Did that mean I was on the verge of
       giving up? Me? Give up? I snorted into the wind and took a
       breath bringing with its snowflakes that went up and into my
       nose, causing me to sneeze several times. Since I was moving
       more and it seemed somewhat less stiff, I was ready to push
       myself to get with it and to get up off the ground. There were
       places that were all over my body that were very sore and each
       time I felt any kind of pain, I whimpered and that needed to
       stop as well. I was not some sniveling, pampered slave girl who
       needed assistance on or with everything and this certainly
       wasn't my first time being caught by weather. I began to doubt
       my decision to return to the hut, thinking that it would have
       been better and safer had I waited at the kitchen or even the
       Storeroom. The kitchen is where I would have gone. It was warmer
       there. And it had food.

       After freeing my leg from the tree, I thought if I were to hold
       onto the tree and pull my body it might help me get to my feet
       so that's what I did. It did help yes, but not as much as I had
       been hoping it would. Still, I thought, some help is better than
       no help at all and pulled myself closer to tree one last time. I
       rolled onto my stomach, tried to wrap my arms around the trunk
       but it was bigger, and I couldn't, so I hung on to the side of
       the tree and pulled myself up to my knees. Now it was time to
       stand, and I knew I could do this! I was confident in my ability
       to survive. One leg was stretched and then pulled toward me. I
       tried to stand, felt my balance go somewhere else and fell back
       into the snow. Didn't quite knock the breath out of me, but it
       was close. I sighed heavily, rolled onto my stomach and began to
       slide my body back to the tree and try it again. Again, I lost
       my balance and I fell as I had the first time. Onto my stomach.
       Sliding my body to the tree. Bringing myself to my knees.
       Stretching and bending one leg. Holding tightly to the tree as I
       manage to pull my body up until I actually was standing on my
       own. I was saying, ”Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,”
       over and over. Barely audible and the voice not my own.

       says to ALL:By the time I was ready to go, it had stopped
       snowing, for which I was thankful. I really didn't like the snow
       that much and still haven't been able to speak with Mistress as
       to whether or not we could move someplace where wasn't any snow.
       I had a feeling that she would be saying, ”No, Hulneth is our
       home now and it's where we belong. No more talk of moving.” And
       that would put a stop to that conversation, and it wouldn't be
       up for discussion anytime soon either. The cloak and boots were
       still with me, and I was even more thankful that I hadn't lost
       either of them because I really wanted to bring Waratah with me
       when next I came to the Storeroom. She might like or she might
       not too. It would give her something to do and get out of the
       hut for at least a little while. I let my crazy thoughts go
       where they would, not really caring. I put one foot in front of
       the other, like it was automatic and didn't have to be thought
       through. I passed the open field where I would see the verr and
       beyond that were streams and rivers where fish would be caught.
       I hadn't tried to fish. I'm hoping it won't be noticed because
       of my dislike of fish to. When approaching the hut, I can
       usually see the roof of the woodshed first. Not this time, I
       think the snowfall we had covered it. The walls didn't look like
       they were leaning into or away from themselves, I couldn't see
       the roof and had absolutely no idea what condition that would be
       in, wondering if I should give a quick look and then go into the
       hut. No... it might be best that I just go to the hut and give
       the two packages to Waratah. Which is what I did. She was having
       a difficult time in saying anything, which really wasn't
       necessary and told her as much. What I wanted to do was take a
       quick bath to warm up and then do my chores.... and before I
       knew it, chores were done, and the day was coming to a
       close.[/font][/left][/size]
