was cold and dark

When Fara woke up it was still very early, but she felt someone crawling under the curtain next to her and then, climbing over her. It was just too early to stay awake, so she drifted off again.

The next thing Fara woke up to were the voices of men. Including her brothers voice. So she opened her eyes and saw the group of people standing near the Caves entrance. She got dressed and asked one of the girls what was going on.

"The storm is still raging outside and the caves entrance is starting close because of all the snow."

Fara looked over to her brother who was currently talking to Noha.

"Listen we can either go out now have a hard time and live, or we can stay here, be comfortable for a few more hours and then die."

"How do you know the cave would have a second exit?"

"The cave just leads us down under the earth! I have a feeling for this, we're going to die in here!"

"So your feeling thinks that we have a better chance of survival out there?! In the snow? Look at the women, they'll freeze to **** before we could even get off this damn mountain."

The conversation grew more heated. But Noha was right. The other women would freeze to ****, although Fara might survive long enough,
But Fara also trusted Lon's guts. They were never wrong until now and if the cave doesn't have a second entrance they're all stuck in here.

"Let's do this the old fashioned way. Democratic. Who thinks we should go outside into the freezing cold now?"

Lon and Fara held their hands up. Fara could see one of the girls hesitate for a moment.

"Ok and who thinks we should explore the cave for a second entrance?"

Everybody else put their hands up.

"Fine. You can head to your **** in there but I'm certainty not!"

"Wait...Lon think about it. We could at least try."

Then Fara came closer and whispered.

"If you sense any closer danger we might still be able to slip away and dig our way out of here."
