Who: Kaisa and Silas Where: The great outdoors When: Thursday night. What: Hypothermia Rating: PG Status: Closed, in-progress
It was late..Really late and not exactly warm out as Silas pulled his coat collar more tightly around his throat. He’d been all over the inside of the school and the dorms, talked to everyone he could find that knew Kaisa and even checked at the nurses station but wherever she was it wasn’t inside the Academy.
So where did that leave him? Checking all their usual haunts outside the dorms with a flashlight because it was too dark for him to see without it. It was a long shot but he was all out of ideas at this point and though at first Silas had thought maybe he’d pissed the girl off magically somehow that day when she didn’t meet him after classes like they’d agreed but as dinner time came and went he’d gotten more worried than anything else.
“Kai! Are you out here?!” He called out as he walked out past the field and towards the old tree they sometimes met while he smoked. There was no sign of her though and he continued to move on. Would she go to the lake? Well, maybe if it was during the day but now? Still, it wasn’t as if there was a lot of other options around here right now but why would Kaisa still be outside at this time of the night when it was getting colder and colder by the minute it seemed. It was stupid but he’d go check out by where they’d had their bonfire after the last dance by the shoreline.
His boots crunched under the crisp and frosty leaves that littered the ground as he moved, the circle of light causing things to shimmer and twinkle as it bobbed in time with his steps and Silas scanned around the area. At first he thought he was imagining things when he thought he saw a shoe off to the side by a big old stump of some long gone tree but when he stopped to look again, he realized there was much more than just a random shoe on top of a pile of frozen leaves.
“Kaisa!” The half-demon called out as he rushed over to the fallen girl and gathered her up in his arms as he tried to rouse her with a few quick taps to her cheek. “Kaisa, wake up! Talk to me here!” Silas called out while he held her close, she felt ice cold but small puffs of frozen breath left her. He wasted no time in stripping off his jacket to wrap the unconscious girl up then he high tailed it back towards the dorms where he did the only thing he could think of in his panicked mind; he buried her as many blankets and he could find back in his room as he tried to rub some life back into her chilly fingertips. “C’mon, Kai...Wake up…” He fretted over and over again.
