Nova's Choice

Celia, Raven, Nova, and Novia ran as fast as they could through the cold night air. They had managed to get past Miranda and Karl due to Arora's, Kate's, and Lilly's choice to stay behind. This had provided them with the opportunity to go deeper into the forest, in pursuit of Shade.

The snow crunched under their feet as they ran. Clouds of frost quickly formed and disappeared before their faces due to heavy breathing. They could feel it. It was just a little further before they ran into Shade.

Celia's eyes looked forward with determination. She was adamant about getting Shade back. Not only would this give Team Freedom additional fighting power, but it would also boost the morale of the team to believe that they had a fighting chance against the ME Organization.

However, just then, a small silver-plated knife flew past Celia's face before sticking itself into the snow. Everyone immediately pulled themselves to a stop before drawing for their weapons.
