Miles away

A pair of yellow eyes watched from the darkness inside the cave. She scanned the entrance every second for any shape to pass by. She'd just encountered a rather nasty pair of claws though what it was attached to she didn't know. This poor fool just picked up the pace and fled from the easy land below to the rough terrains of the mountains. Instead of turning to fight.. She had just ran. A sigh echoed through the cave as she harassed herself for the poor decision. Rylee glanced down at her paws and studied the scrapes and cuts all over them. She never imagined how hard the mountain would be to climb. With the adrenaline pulsing through her she never felt the pain until now. She wondered how long it would take before the bleeding would stop or how long before the cold would numb them. Her eyes flashed back up to the entrance when what she thought was movement caught her eyes. 

It was hard to even make out shadows against the snow that seemed to be just pouring from the sky. She imagined winter was almost over when she was down in the valley but now... It was alamost like she walked smack dab into the middle of it. The snow was not violent but it was big puffy flakes that covered everything it touched in white. Rylee couldn't believe the satisfaction she felt just watching the flakes fall in such a slow fashion. Even her own little friend seemed entranced by it. She had thought she might have lost the little annoying creature in the escape but.. She could feel its presence in the cave somewhere. 

The little demon had a plan for her that she did not share... Would. Never. Share. It wanted her to build a pack in it's territory and the rest she wouldn't even listen to. The mad squirrel hadn't stopped following her sense. At least it had learned to stay out of the way and stop talking. A soft anger boiled under the surface when she thought of the squirrel. Who in their right mind would come up and try to talk to its number one predator? Let alone.. The Squirrel could talk to her? Everything was so confusing that she let it drop. She didn't feel like having aching paws and a headache.
