But my screams receive no response. I’m completely alone, alone with nothing but the snow and this stupid dress to keep my company.
I huddle in the car, my teeth chattering as I try to conserve whatever warmth I have left. The sky is pitch black, and the howling wind outside only adds to the desolation.
My mind races with thoughts of Karl, of the party, and of my own foolishness for getting caught in this situation. Once again, I try to call him, but it’s no use. I still have no service and I need to be careful about saving my phone battery.
I wish I could shift into my wolf form to keep warm, but my wolf has still been mostly dormant, only appearing sporadically when Karl is close with me, which just makes me even angrier.
It’s as if she’s abandoned me when I need her the most. I call out to her, my voice filled with desperation.
“Why now? Why won’t you help me?” I mutter. “It’s not fair. You can’t just show up when you want and disappear when I need you.”
But my wolf remains unresponsive, and I’m left to face this dire situation alone. Fear creeps in, and I wrap myself tighter in my coat, hoping to ward off the cold that threatens to consume me.
As I sit in the darkness, my heart skips a beat when I see what appears to be headlights in the distance. My breath catches, and I peer through the snow-covered windshield, squinting to get a better look.
Is it another car? Is someone coming to help me?
I desperately reach for the car’s keys, trying to turn the ignition despite knowing that the battery is dead. In my frantic state of mind I keep thinking that by some miracle, the car will come back to life.
But it’s in vain, and the engine remains silent..
In the distance, the headlights grow brighter, and I can make out the shape of a vehicle approaching. My hands clutch the steering wheel, and I prepare to do anything to get their attention. I flash my car’s headlights, hoping that the other driver will see the signal.
"Come on, please see me," I whisper to myself, my voice trembling with anticipation.
