The Northern mountains were just as apparent as ever as the snow continued storming down upon it. It seemed ever still, ever peaceful...
Until a sonic boom blasted over the area, a being with a black aura appearing hovering several hundred miles over it. From where she floated, Erin looked panicked as she continued surveying the mountain, referencing her hovering keyboard now and then for it's useful map. The Waypoint that had been set-up for Erin had responded when she tried to search for it. Her search had brought her here... Please... Please for the love of god let her friend be here. "Okay... Okay, calm down... The map says I should be right on top of her... I just need to slowly lower down and keep my eyes open... She has to be here..."
Please let her be here...
Letting out panicked breaths, she slowly lowered herself downward, to the cold mountains... When the bitter cold of the area started to get to her through the decidedly... showier parts of her God-tier outfit (something she did on a dare and both regretted and enjoyed), she changed the outfit to that of her Korra costume, which was designed to handle climates such as this, inspite of the no sleeves. "Come on Eevee come on... Please be okay-..."
She continued lowering down, looking around frantically for anything that might've been moving in the snow, maybe red spots that would provide a clue...

In hindsight, "snow" had been a fairly ambiguous description of her surroundings. But that was all she could see. That was all that surrounded them from every direction. And for the longest time, it seemed as if that was all there was to find amongst the glistening white peaks, the midnight blue atmosphere, and the torrential downpour of crystalline powder.
Why was everything so cold...?
Eventually... a trail. A deep crease in the snow, like a scar running along the mountain... the deepest valley of which was very faintly stained pink. There was little time to examine the jarring alteration, though based upon the trail's impression and the direction it headed in beyond the initial impact site, it seemed at if something had fallen from the sky and slid across the icy terrain, finally coming to a halt at the bottom of the mountain.
And sure enough, that trail did end at the bottom, fading out of existence beneath a blurry image of black and red.

A trace! And a notable one too! Immediately Erin felt sorry for poor Evee... It must've been a really rough landing... and judging from the pink stains, Erin's fears were confirmed. She was indeed losing blood. Finding the Rouge now would probably be the only hope Erin's friend had... If she was lucky, the cold had likely clotted the blood. And while that wasn't necessarily a GOOD thing, it at least meant the blood wouldn't be flowing out... However it wasn't good either since she knew the body couldn't afford to get too cold either. Having open blood-veins to weather like this would ultimately be counterproductive...
Needless to say, Erin's worry grew more with each passing second.
"Evee-?" She looked around carefully, following the crash trail all the while. "EVEE-!! Evee, if you're there answer me!!!" Desperation was clearly growing.
After all, she had seen what losing friends had done to her new twin brother. She sympathized with him, felt sorry for him...
But, consider her selfish if you will, she did not want to understand that feeling completely. To understand would be something truly horrible.
"EEVEEEEE!!" She zoomed to the end of the trail and quickly started digging in the snow, the beacon on her holo-comp was letting out loud beeps now that she seemed to be closing in.

Where the trail ended, a pool of red began. Lying within that crimson pool was a young lady in a grey sweatshirt and jeans, sprawled out face-down in the snow, clearly very hurt and very unconscious.
Evelyn's hand rested close to her tranquil face, her holo-watch still active and open to Pesterchum. She had long since stopped speaking into it, succumbing to the intense chill both inside and out. Blood dripped from her partially-open mouth, seeping into the powder beneath her pale face; the cold snow was not enough to bring a blush to her cheeks. Her hair was in disarray, her ponytail just barely holding itself together, the black locks sticky with the red fluid. All over her body and clothes, there were cuts and tears, as well as some obvious bruising, more so than even her obvious crash landing could've done to her.
And although it was difficult to see, given the position in which she was lying, there was a wide open tear in the torso of Evelyn's hoodie, giving way to the gaping hole in her stomach that profusely spilled blood onto her frosty bed of white.

....................
Erin wanted to gag.
Then she did gag.
Then she turned around and vomited, doing her best to not do so on her very injured and, if not helped soon, very sick friend.
When her stomach settled, Erin turned back to Eevee taking the poor girl in. "E-Eevee... Eevee OH... OH MY GOD EEVEE NO...!" Erin was quick to get down on her knees and get closer to her friend, not minding that her favorite Korra outfit was getting bloodstained.
Okay okay... Deep breaths. Like you're father the doctor. Do the vital checks.
Erin gently took Eevee's wrist and squeezed it... There was a pulse, though an extremely weak one. It was apparent that if she was out here any longer, there would be serious lasting damage. She needed to get this girl to a doctor, a REAL doctor, and fast... Oh how she still wished her father was still here, he'd know what to do... By god she missed him... Tearfully, Erin bent down closer to Eevee. "Eevee..." .... Asleep... And in the cold. That was not a good combination. "Eevee... Don't you DARE.... Don't you DARE fucking DIE ON ME...HANG IN THERE! Just a little while longer!"
Okay, now came the difficult part...
The red pool was still growing...
If Erin attempted to move Eevee now, the bleeding would only intensify... She needed some way to calm the bleeding down... Some way to shut down the blood flow for a little bit... At least until she could get her to a hospital...
.......
She opened up Pesterchum.
She could think of only one person to help.

Tod blinked as he looked to his now active pester.
FA: Yes Erin?
FA: What's wrong?

GG: I SHALL NOW CONSIDER YOUR ASS PREPPED.
GG: HOLD YOUR BREATH.
----------------------
Oh she wasn't-
A HAND APPEARED FROM A VOID PORTAL AND GRABBED TODD BY THE COLLAR.
.....
SHE WAS.
VWIP!!!!!
----------------------
The next thing Todd knew, he was crashing headlong into the snow. Nearby, Erin was crying and practically in hysterics as she put her body back down over Evelyn, desperately trying to keep her warm. "Todd... It..." She sniffled pitifully. "It's EEVEE... S-... SOMETHING HAPPENED TO EEVEE..."
That much was obvious... "HELP... Please..."

It was more like the back of his pants. The usually mild mannered male gave a short glare at his sister. Todd had the bad habit of sleeping topless.
"Be lucky I was having a nightmare. And not a decent dream," he offered before looking and teeth chattering."What's her status?"

Erin lifted up as necessity demanded, looking Eevee over carefully... "I... I dunno... But... She's losing so much blood... There must be a huge wound on her somewhere..." After a moment of looking around Eevee's back, arms, legs and head, she concluded that there was only one place the blood could be coming from... "The wound has to be on her chest..... But whatever the case... Todd. I'm sorry, but please. I need your blood mumbo jumbo so I can get her to a hospital."
Showing at least SOME decency, she tossed Todd a coat, smacking him in the face with it. "But please... Hurry... I... I don't know how long she's been out here... And she's asleep..." She was trembling...
Todd had rarely ever seen such a thing from her. The last time he had seen this... It had been after she had killed Vit...
"She isn't dead yet... But if we don't hurry, that is very LIKELY going to happen..." She looks to him, her expression tearful. "And... And we don't know WHAT this death could be..."

Todd nodded as he focused. The blood soon crystallized around and over the wound.
"Erin. After i'm more awake and we're at the hospital, remind me to tell you a story. Just for sanity's sake... Okay?" he offered.

Erin rolled her eyes, "Right yeah sure whatever. Let's go."
She picked up Eevee in a void bubble, followed quickly by Todd and herself...
Please Eevee... Please be alright...
After opening another portal, Erin, Eevee and Todd vanished from North Mountain, leaving only the bloodstains and the path of Eevee's crash... However, as the snow came down hard, it seemed likely that even that evidence would soon be lost in the seemingly endless whiteness...
