Morning...
The next morning, when they were leaving, hadn't been going as planned, or at least so far. All the things she had packed seemed to be gone. Or, Daisy couldn't find it. Then after eating breakfast, all worried, she had found the packings under the coffee table in the living room. She wondered how it had gotten there in the first place. She didn't have time to figure that out though. Then it was the though Good bye to her parents. She didn’t expect it to be that difficult. After all, she did expect to come back.....some day.
Her mother had been crying and begged her to stay, even though she knew perfectly well that Daisy and the others were the only hope to survive the winter. When they had finally let her walk out the door, all set and ready, Daisy noticed that she had forgotten the most important thing of all; her scarf that her mother had knitted for her. It could come in handy these cold days, and besides this was a long trip and you always needed to be prepared. Daisy therefore sneaked in again to get her scarf, which caused yet another good bye scene with some tears and laughter at the same time. Then the finally the last good bye kiss was given and Daisy hurried over to Tom's house.

The snow was deep, and the wind blew in her hair. She could also feel the snowflakes falling smoothly on her skin that wasn't covered by warm clothes.
"Hello there Tom..Ivy and Madoc" Daisy said as she approached them. She smiled as if it were some sort of holiday they were going on. When she noticed that, she tried to keep her mask straight. "Hello," Ivy replied, she smiling as well.
The snowing had stopped now, but the wind was still giving her a shiver now and then. She tried not to think about the weather, and about the trip, but it seemed impossible. "Er...so Ivy...Are you...excited?" she asked and blushed. This was maybe a wrong question for the situation. But Ivy nodded a little, and grinned. "Well...it's probably going to be dangerous...and hard...." Ivy then muttered. "Yes, I know." Daisy said and shook her head. "I'm a bit anxious myself." she added.
