The storm drew her on.

She knew she would never make it through the night if she didn’t find shelter. And soon. The storm drew her on.

She shivered as the rain went from heavy drizzle to downpour. She was soaked to the bone, and she didn’t think any amount of warmth would be able to save her if she was out in the weather for much longer. The storm drew her on.

The wind howled, threatening to take her hood and cloak along with it. The lightning lit her way, but only for a moment before she was plunged into full darkness again. The thunder shook the ground so hard she stumbled at times. The storm drew her on.

One hallowed breath after another. She was so close to safety. She could feel it in her bones. But they were lying. The storm drew her on.

She collapsed to the ground in a heap. Where had that light gone to? She watched for it, but it would forever be gone. She crawled on, too weak to stand against the torrent’s blasts any longer. The storm drew her on.

“Need some help?” A voice called from before her. One that held years of experience and enough confidence that she knew he wasn’t lost.

Her voice was long gone, but he had already taken her hand and lifted her to her feet.

She collapsed again, only for her to be kept up by the strong hand. And suddenly he was close, and she, held. The storm would not draw her on anymore.
