Whatever You Do

Sunlight sparkled on top of the snow as Rœkia pushed her way through the snow, grumbling as she worked her way south. Why wasn't it getting any warmer? She still didn't know what to do. "You keeping up squirt?" she called to her tiny cousin. It was tricky sometimes to keep an eye on the wee albino girl whose coat blended in so well with the snow. Movement caught her attention and her head jerked up to see a grizzly bear lumbering toward her. Her blood ran cold. Had it seen the pup? She hoped the bear was just going to try and drink from the lake, if it were unfrozen, but it growled and made a beeline for her. It was then she noticed its gaunt frame and the pieces fell into place. She couldn't imagine waking from hibernation into a land of winter. Rœkia set her defenses and prepared for battle.
