<strong>Sarah</strong><br/><br/>Walking along in the snow, I couldn't help but think that it would probably have been a good idea to accept Anna's offer of accompanying her and her sister to the house.  It was a sleepover party at the house of someone I'd never even met before, a girl named Kate, and apparently there were going to be a bunch of people there I didn't know.  Also, it was extremely cold outside, and having someone to talk with probably would have helped keep my mind off the weather.  As it was, trudging through the snow like that, all I could really focus on was the fact that it was ice-cold all around me, and if I got lost, they probably wouldn't find my body until the spring thaw.  Not a comforting thought, not at all...<br/><br/>Still, the path to the cabin was actually surprisingly clear.  A short car trip up to the mountains brought one to a simple circle for people to pull up and park in, and from there there was a clearly-marked trail to follow.  Luckily for me, there were also two or three clear sets of footprints running along the trail, and handrails along the spots that were particularly slippery.<br/><br/>After who knew how many years of operating, it seemed like the people in charge of maintaining these trails knew what spots were trouble in winter.<br/><br/>Anyway, the trail was also not too long, so it was only a few minutes before I could see a light shining up ahead in the trees, and a few minutes after that I was actually able to make out the cabin itself through the snow.  It looked warm, very cozy, the perfect place to have a little fun during Winter Break...  Or at least during one weekend out of the winter.  I also spotted something else, though, and that was another person.  Not Anna, or her idential sister Samantha...<br/><br/>"Uhm...  H-hi."  I managed to get out, as I walked up to the cabin.  I paused right at the steps, not wanting to get into this other girl's personal space.  I spent a few seconds nervously adjusting the straps on the bag that I had brought along before continuing.  "...You're here for the party too, right?"
