Go," I shout as me and Pete race over the frozen lake.

Halfway through and Peter is winning.

I hear the ice start to crack and I stop running.

Peter stops as well and turns to me.

"Buddy come to me," I say fear lacing my words.

I see his hands shaking and he replies "O-ok."

He takes a step toward me but then I hear the ice break and next thing I see shatters my heart.

I watch helplessly as he falls into the ice.

It takes me a few seconds to get to him but I don't see him.

I see that there is a current and it must had pulled him away.

I start frantically searching for him.

Every second that passes makes me more worried.

After a minute of searching I spot him under the ice.

I grab one of my arrows that I had and start hitting it into the ice harder and harder.

After a couple hits it starts to crack and then It breaks.

I grab his hand and panic as I feel how cold he is.

"Peter," I shout "come on buddy wake up."

I put my hand in front of his nose and panic more as I don't feel any air coming from his nose.

His chest isn't rising either so I start doing CPR.

I panic even more as I look at his pale skin, blue lips and sunken eyes.

After what feels like forever but could have only been 2 minutes he starts coughing up the water.

"Well done buddy, come on you got it."

(Peter P.O.V)

I feel water coming from my mouth as I cough.

My chest feels terrible and I'm so cold.

I hear in the distance "well done buddy you got it," and I recognise the voice as Uncle Clint.

I look around with blurry eyes and see I'm laying on the ground with uncle Clint above me with worry etched on his face.

"U-Uncle Cl-clint," I ask quietly.

My voice raw and my eyes dropping with exhaustion.

"Yeah Pete I'm right here okay," I start to feel the cold more and I start shivering but not a lot even though I'm so cold.

"I do-nt fee-feel g-good," I say and start coughing more water out.

"Come on Pete, we need to get you back, I can't carry you because I can't let you fall asleep ok,"

he says.

"Ok," I say as he lifts me from the ground and onto my feet hooking his arm around my waist and my arm around his shoulder.

Everything hurts and I use all my energy not to whimper in pain.

We start walking and halfway there I feel drained and like I'm gonna pass out.

Uncle Clint ends up dragging me while I only lift my feet a little.

Uncle Clint keeps whispering soothing words beside me.

I've stopped shivering and I know that's bad.

We arrive at the shack and I can barely stay awake now.

My head starts to cloud as I see my dad and aunt Nat grabbing me and taking off my hoodie and joggers leaving me in my boxers.

I feel blankets wrapped around me and someone hugging me but I don't know who.

I hear "you need to stay awake for me pete," from the person who is hugging me but I still can't figure out who it is.

I use all the energy I have to stay awake.

Although my attempt fails as I fall into the darkness.
