It's cold this morning,about 10 degrees above 0. I was watching the 7:00 news. Last night, a man went missing at 10 pm. It was one of those sunny but cold mornings and I didn't pay much attention to the news. Then, at 10 am dark clouds filled the sky. It was about noon when mom came home for a lunch break and by then it was snowing. As usual, she brought home some sandwiches and we sat down together and ate.

She didn't talk so I asked her,"Mom, did you hear about that guy that went missing last night?" She took a bite of the sandwich and chewed slowly. "Yeah, I heard." She took another bite and stood up. She walked over to the kitchen, put her sandwich in the fridge and left. She never talked at lunch, I don't know why. Anyways, I sat down at the couch in our living room. I read for a bit then decided to turn the TV on.

It was getting dark outside so I turned on a few lights. Nothing good was on. I changed the channel several times, I finally came to the news. I heard a loud thump on the door. Just the wind, no one would be out in this storm. At least that's what I thought. There were several more afterwards. The wind howled and then I heard it. "It's cold outside, don't you think?" There was a loud thump then the wind stopped. The blizzard fell into a light snow. After a few hours I fell asleep.

I woke at 9 in the morning. The sun still hadn't come out. Just then I noticed mom had already come home then left for work again. The tv was still on and I listened. The wind still was gone and the light snow still went on. The news reporter said that a young girl had gone missing at 11 pm. I squinted as I looked at the picture of the young girl. She looked about my age, 15, long blonde hair, Dark brown eyes. I opened my eyed wide as I noticed the girl. I cupped my hands over my mouth. It was Catherine, my best friend.

I called my friends cell and her parents picked up the phone. They said they had things to do because of Catherine's as they said "death" after they hung up I got a call from some unknown number. I answered it and no sound but a hum came out. Then I heard it again, but through the phone this time "It's cold outside, don't you think?" I was confused then I asked,"Who is this? Is some kind of prank?" It replied with a slight chuckle then it ended. I dismissed it as a weirdo and I did the normal thing, eat breakfast, watch tv, read, all that stuff, after all, it was spring break. Around lunchtime I waited for mom to come home but she didn't. I got worried but dismissed it as her having to work extra.

By evening the blizzard started up again. I watched some TV and fell asleep. This time, I didn't wake up on the couch. I woke up freezing in the middle of a snow field. I stood up and panicked.What am I doing out here? I thought. I shivered as I looked down. I was still wearing my shorts and no sleeved shirt. but what scared me the most was the ice looking knife in my stomach. My eyes widened as I pulled it out. Pain shot through me. When it was out, I didn't bleed. no blood, no guts, no nothing.

The pain went away and I started walking towards a police car with flashing lights. I still held the knife as I walked over. Two more cars came over, one a police, one my mothers. I started jogging over. I was planning to run and hug my mom but the sight of what the police were looking at. Mom looked at it and cried into one of the polices arms. I stared down at myself. I was staring straight up with the icy knife in my stomach. My clothes were torn and my fingers were either broken or cut. "looks like she was murdered. She fought pretty hard before she died."One police said. "No, mom, I'm right here! Look at me! See!" I yelled.

After minutes of trying to get their attention, I heard someone behind me. He was in a blueish blackish robe carrying the same icy knife that was in my, and the one I held. I couldn't see his face, it was just black. After a few seconds of staring, Two big white eyes appeared. A smile came upon his face, then curled into a smile. The police and my mom couldn't see him either.

"It's cold outside, don't you think?"
