and I happily trotted outside.  Suddenly, I stopped and there she was, standing with a caribou in her mouth, as black as her father.  Maya.  I was in shock.  She had managed to escape from Demon.  My shocked face turned to a happy face.  We both ran towards each other.

"Maya, I can't believe it's you."

"Clara, I can't believe it's you either."

We both hugged each other.

"I love you." Maya whispered.

I was surprised, then happy.

"I love you too." I whispered back.

The wind came back and Maya shivered like crazy.

"Well, now that you have food, there's no need for us to get food, is there?" I laughed.

"Nope, there's no need." Maya giggled as well.

We both walked in and happily greeted Blizzard.  He licked Maya.  We were all happy now.

There they were, all four of them, Maya's parents and sisters' spirits stood howling in the wind.  Then they drifted away in the snow.
