Risa managed to make it home through the blizzard. She spent a good portion of the night in front of the fire warming herself up. She did not even notice when he fell asleep on the floor. The next thing she remembered was her mother and father shaking her awake. She looked at them not understanding shy they looked so worried. That was until she had noticed that her dress was a little torn up. 

They started to ask her what happened to her dress. She kept quite. She was slightly worried that if she told them that she went over the wall she would get in a lot of trouble. When they would not stop talking she grabbed a jacket and ran out of the house. She just could not think of a good lie to tell her parents. Anything that crossed her mind would been seen through right away. 

She made her way over to river. At this time of year it was likely that none of the villagers would be there. When she got there she saw the boy. She knew right away that he was not from her village. She knew everyone that lived there. He must be traveler. She wondered why someone would come here when it was much warmer in the north. She had no idea that he was the monster that she had met the night before. She walked up to him and smiled. "Hello"
