The Winter's Blanket

The princess was swamped by a huge blanket that felt smooth and soft like snow. As the princess tried to lift it off her head it would collapse back onto her, nearly suffocating her. It was perfectly sewn in blues, whites and greys. The princess noticed that the blanket was patterned in falling snow and the borders were covered in smiling snowmen. Icicles were growing from the blanket and when the window opened a strong blizzard swept in and made the princess feel colder than ever. The blanket seemed happy and heart-warming, but made the princess feel miserable and cold. It smelt fresh and heavenly, like a cold winter's day.

The stranger just cackled and laughed at the distressed princess like he was having the best time of his life. He started chanting wicked spells which made the blanket even worse on the princess. His stony eyes stared at the princess in a evil way which made the princess scream in fright and coldness. She kept on trying to push the blanket off but it wouldn't budge, not even one bit.
