The bite of the winter air was bitter as Aaron and Ariel fought to construct their makeshift shelter in frigid Alaskan tundra and escape the frozen peril of hypothermia.

The daylight was running out and you could hear the hungry wolves moving closer. Ariel was so cold she asked Aaron to please build a fire.

"No...time..." said Aaron, panting with the effort of supporting her half-limp body. 
"Then leave me here Aaron," she whispered, "you know we can't outrun those things."
She felt him stiffen.
"Aaron, we'll both-"
"No," he said simply. "But you're right. We can't...outrun them."
