alyssa still in bear form, said "That's better." with a sigh, and walked over on all fours.

Bliz glared up at the bear growling, no, no, no, this was not better. Frost was not meant to act like this, she was meant to be standing there, telling Bliz that she was alright. Frost was supposed to be the strong one, she was supposed to be reasuring Bliz not the other way round, what had she done to her human? (Bliz is still young and doesn't understand that Alyssa is trying to help.) The she-wolf snarled, warning the bear not to come any closer.

...

Frost looked down at the wolf, thinking, wouldn't she ever learn, or maybe she had and it had oonly made things worse? Drops of blood dripped down, landing on Bliz's fur.

she stopped and looked at bliz then at frost. she asked " want a ride?". turning her head towards her back.

Bliz snarled again, before nuzzling at Frost, liking her head, trying to get rid of the blood.

...

Frost looked blankly up, reaching out a hand to stroke the wolf's fur. "Hmm? Oh, Yeah... I can do it" she muttered, struggling to her feet on the slippery ice and with a flash she stood a polar bear once more. Still lost in her own miserable thoughts.

"I'm fine" insisted the girl stating to pad away, Bliz trotting at her heels, glaring at the bear.

Cloud wrapped her arms around the wolf, tears streaming down her face. "I-I thought I was going to die," she choked, her face burried in the brown fur.

"Well you're safe now, that's all you need to worry about." Fern put her paw over the human's shoulder. "We've got to go to the mountains before those other elementals find us again."

Cloud stood, shakily, and climbed onto the wolf's back before turning her head to look at the bear. "We-we're fine. We d-don't need the help." Cloud remembered that she was wet but didn't care. "Let's go Fern."

"I'd like to see them try" sneered Frost, a little of her old confidence returning, but her eyes were still blank and her hands were shaking along with her voice
