*The Adventures of Evie and Mya*

**Winter's Cabin** is a cabin located within the Piney Woods. It was the home to Winter for most of her teenage life.

## Appearance

Winter's cabin is described to be made out of gray brick and is decently sized, taking up space the size of a small clearing. Right outside of it is a semi-cracked tree that gives access to the roof. There are a small set of stairs that led up to the cabin. Inside, it is comprised of four corners with shelves; the left contains food and water and the right contains clothing, pillows, blankets, antiques, Varien albums, and a box, all of which belonging to Winter.

Following Winter's adoption into the Heartley family, her possessions have been removed from the cabin, making it barren compared to before. A table with chairs sits in the middle after the events of *Rushing Roulette*.

The cabin briefly appears at the end of the episode, where a strange girl enters and is overjoyed to find that her box is safe.

#### *Meeting Winter*

In their quest to find the mysterious girl, Evie and Mya stumble upon a brick cabin, much to the shock of Evie, who reluctantly follows her intrigued friend inside. They find numerous items, food, drinks, and a makeshift bed, seemingly confirming that someone is living there. However, they are then jumped by the girl, who is keen on murdering them for trespassing; eventually, the two break through to her, and she decides to tell them her backstory. Introducing herself as Winter, she explains to them that, after running away from her home and past, she found her cabin and has lived there since. Following their establishment of good terms with Winter, Evie and Mya leave. Later, Winter returns to her cabin and curls up to sleep, falling into a nightmare with a mysterious shadow figure. She wakes up, and deciding to go outside, she grabs her box and heads out.

#### *Stalker*

After school, Winter listens to the Varien song *Transmissions from Lemuria* in her cabin until she is interrupted by the mortifying presence of Aiden, her stalker and crush who wanted to give her a card to cheer her up. Winter, aghast, summons Evie and Mya to her cabin for an emergency meeting. Later, Evie and Mya rush to the cabin to speak with Winter about Aiden's failed attempt at asking her out. After a long, tense conversation, Mya proposes a snow day to alleviate Winter's worries, and the girls head outside.

#### *Ex-Girlfriend*

Winter runs to her cabin and collapses inside, slipping into a panic attack and soon falling asleep in an attempt to quell her disquiet. The next day, in class, Winter wishes to return to her cabin and woods, but cannot. Following the end of the school day, Winter returns home, but slips into another nightmare. When she wakes up, she shines her phone light around the cabin, fearing Daniela is about to kill her; although she isn't actually there, she is unnerved and cries for an about an hour. Later, after realizing that she has to tell Evie and Mya the truth about her and Daniela, Winter leads them to her cabin and shows them the personal memories in her box - including the photo that confirms she once loved Daniela. The two do not reject her and instead embrace her warmly. That night, Winter stargazes outside her cabin, but soon faces Daniela in a heated confrontation, and the latter is revealed to have stalked her for her own advantage. She soon leaves with a chilling parting threat, and running inside, Winter sleeps with her knife by her head, wondering if she is really safe.

In the middle of the night, Daniela breaks into Winter's cabin, knocks her out, and kidnaps her. The next day, Mya describes sitting on the roof of the cabin with Winter, where they stargazed. When Evie states that they can't deny Daniela has gone missing, Mya points out that Winter is gone too when she needs to be at school - or else, police would raid her cabin. Once the school day is over, Evie declares that they must search her cabin for clues, which Mya agrees to, believing they'll get the answers they need. They rush there and are startled to find the door unlocked. Inside, they find numerous alarming clues - Winter's makeshift bed a mess, her daytime clothes left behind, and what appears to be her blood on the floor - meaning that she has been kidnapped. Evie and Mya, horrified, step out of the cabin and discuss their next plan of action, which ends up being consulting Rex. Suddenly, they hear someone approach and hide, and both girls are aghast to find Daniela. The bully studies the cabin meticulously, murmuring that it's interesting before walking away.

The girls, now convinced that Daniela is Winter's kidnapper, resolve to speak to Rex as soon as they can the next day. One day later, Rex speaks with the girls and recalls Winter informing her that she found a cabin to live in - she couldn't bear the thought of her dying alone in it. Since that day, she's had a friend of hers stock up the cabin. The girls proceed to inform her of what they saw yesterday at Winter's cabin shocking her. Later, Daniela reveals to Evie and Mya that she deliberately baited them and wanted them to find the clues in the cabin on purpose - she was luring them right into a trap. They also find out that Winter's blood wasn't on the cabin floor, but Daniela's. After Daniela's defeat, Winter plans on returning to her cabin to eat, but Mya tells her that nothing from there will properly fill her, inviting her to eat dinner with her instead. Before they embark on the trip to her place, Mya allows Winter to change into her regular clothes in her cabin.
