Snippet #1710926

Frost hung tight to Snowflake, her wolf that had been bred for speed. Snowflake had pulled Frost onto her back when she sensed danger and was already ready to run by the time the bandits came to them. The fur was soft against her skin as the snow fell and made her clothes wet. Snowflake sat on her haunches, letting Frost slide down her back. She shivered continuously and let go of Snowflake, her arms crossed over her chest. She was wearing a thick coat, but the dampness of it allowed the snow to make her cold. She looked to everyone in the group and their surroundings, her gaze fixing on a single snow leopard in the distance. She then wrapped her arms around snowflake's neck since the wolf made her feel secure around cats. She looked to Kyra.

"K-Kyra? Wh-when can we leave? It's cold out here and I wanna go home..." She felt a tiny frozen teardrop go down her face and drop to the ground. She looked to the heirs of the Southern Kingdom. "P-Plus we all need a place to stay. It's not good to be out here in the cold with nothing to protect us." She felt Snowflake stand and let go of her wolf, letting her shake the snow off her fur. She petted Snowflake. "Yes, I know you can protect me just as well as Kyra, but we need shelter from the snow so none of us freeze. Your instincts picking up anything?" The wolf shook her head and Frost sighed. She turned back to Kyra. "Snowflake says there's no caves or hollow trees around as far as she knows. Any ideas, sis?"
