51. Limits

The temperature dropped several notches, I felt it biting into my bones. “Ah…” I heard Charlene groan from somewhere nearby, but I couldn’t locate her. “The temperature will continue to drop, until your body will not be able to continue to function… Good luck.” “When will you stop?” Charlene asked tensely. “Stop? There is no stopping, unless you find Madelia and are able to stop her yourself.” Theon’s cold voice came.

I nodded in concentration.

Of course, they wouldn’t stop until we were near dead or passed out because they were trying to get Charlene to break the seal on her abilities. Things became colder and colder until I felt it become painful. They were lowering the temperature faster than I could focus. What do I do? A cry from Charlene made my heart thump. I couldn’t see her, but I needed to find her! She sounded like she was in agony. I closed my eyes, trying to sense where she was, listening to her heartbeat despite the cold. It was becoming far more bearable than I had expected. Maybe it was easing up? “Princess, you need to get up. There is no one to help you.” Madelia’s voice came from all directions.

I frowned, wait I hadn’t moved from my spot… did Charlene? If she hadn’t, then surely I could find her…

Following my instincts, I moved forward in the direction I last saw Charlene standing before the fog had settled in. “How is she moving?” Theon’s murmur came.

I frowned. Unlike Madelia’s voice, his came from the far side, so they both must be standing over there.

Where was Charlene?

“Charlene?” I called out.

A groan was my only response, but it was enough for me to pinpoint her location. I rushed over, almost tripping over her, and realised that she was on her knees on the floor. I wrapped my arms around her body, which was ice cold. She felt like a block of ice…

“You can’t help her, Yileyna.” Madelia’s voice came, and the temperatures dropped further.

“Come on, Charlene.” I whispered, my heart pounding.

“I… It’s so cold…” She whispered, her teeth chattering. “Fight it.” I urged her.

I was a little disappointed that Madelia wasn’t doing the same to me. Did she think that I couldn’t handle it because I didn’t have a wolf?
