Her father always asked when he could see her, and he’d always accept whatever answer she gave him even if she didn’t go through with it. Except, this was not the case today.

“Caroline,” the fog whispered that night, when the lights were out, the house as quiet as a tomb. “Who said that?” Caroline asked, sitting upright in her bed. Before she could stop, her feet pressed on the cold floor.
’Because we’re going on,’ ma said,’We’re going to the mountains, and i am hoping some of the others decide to come with us.’ ‘You’d go alone.’ He was amazed. ’If necessary.’” This text shows how she determined to get to the mountains and how she will go by herself if she has to.
