Chasing Dawn : Winter's War

Winter's Puzzle

We are here to laugh
At the odds and live
Our lives so well, that
Death will tremble at us

- Charles Bukowski

Quebec City, Canada

Clara's POV :

The five of us went pale as we saw Silvia turned into Nicole.

The room went back to normal, the emergency lights had turned off.

I didn't know what to say.

"Nicole?"

My mouth suddenly uttered.

"How have you been Clara?"

Nicole turned her head talking to me.

My brain was just filled with questions.

And I couldn't even process any of them.

I was just stunned there, like a twig.

My eyes looked at Joanna.

Her face was bitter.

It was like she was going to kill Nicole.

"How did you?"

Aaron then started to ask.

"How did I what?"

Nicole taunted Aaron.

The three of us stood there, stunned.

I saw Joanna's hand grabbing her handgun.

"Joanna, no."

I whispered.

"She killed him."

"She killed your brother."

Joanna looked at me.

She was shaking, her eyes we're red filled with anger.

I wanted to kill Nicole to but.

I just felt like she could help.

"She's right Jo."

"This could be our first lead."

Aaron then whispered to Joanna.

"We already got leads."

She answered him.

Nicole was just standing there.

Surveying the room she was in.

"Yeah but don't you think that Nicole could have something to do with this?"

I think this time, Aaron successfully calmed her down.

"Damn it!"
