Everyone runs to the lodge for shelter, hoping to be safe once inside. Alex grabs Lindy's hand and pulls her with him to the lodge. The cloud of snow is quickly approaching. Will they make it in time?

 Alex makes a decision and yells to Lindy over the thundering sound.

"I love you, Lindy Sharp!"

Hearing the desperation in his voice, she shouts back. "I love you too, Alex Tolley!" Hoping against hope that they would survive, more so now that they had declared their love for each other.

You and Jonathan are on the front side of the lodge and can't see the looming snow cloud proceeding the avalanche of snow, rocks, and trees heading for the lodge.

You can hear the sound of a roar of thunder; every other sound is muffled, and you feel the ground beneath you trembling. You didn't hear any screams or shouts from the others who were outside.

Quickly, Jonathan jerks you from your snow angel and pulls you into his arms. "I love you, Chillas," is the last thing you hear before you're shoved with him back into the snow angel and deeper into the snow.

No one saw the bright pulse of glimmering light that went out as you fell. Then, all is silent as love is buried beneath the snow.

"This is Grace Wynter coming to you live from Snowfall Lodge. Late last night, the emergency center was flooded with calls. People were concerned about family and friends not coming home, and they couldn't reach them by phone. The alarm went out to the local authorities. When they arrived, this once beautiful three-story lodge was relegated to a large pile of snow, boulders, and broken trees.

An avalanche caused by heavy snow accumulation from the blizzard triggered the avalanche that destroyed the lodge. The search and rescue team and their dogs have found no survivors at this time.

It is reported that the owner, five guests, and ten staff members may have perished in this disaster. The rescue team leader said they will continue searching for survivors until nightfall, but they are not hopeful.

Our hearts go out to the family and friends of those still here at Snowfall Lodge. We should have further details about this tragic event on our evening news at six. This is Grace Wynter reporting for SNO 11 News."

As the camera turns off, the reporter looks back at the scene; no one notices the gleam in her eyes as a faint smile touches her lips. She mumbles, "It's good to be the Snow Queen. Goodbye, troublesome daughter."

With a snap of her fingers, the news crew is frozen. But it's only temporary; it's the least she can do for them since they came in handy, though they will never remember. Their real reporter will be waking up soon from her hibernation in time to do the follow-up report.

As she walks away from the scene, her body dissipates into a swirl of snow, along with her malevolent laughter.

The Snow Queen had left, unaware of what her daughter had done because the power she wielded came from her father's broach and not herself.
