Whispers in the Dark

Esperanza walked through the packs land, making sure that everything was in order. The cold of the snow that blanketed the ground in a sheet of white caused her pads to freeze from time to time. Droplets of crimson would sometimes appear in her paw prints that she made when the she had nipped to hard to get the ice that had formed between her claws and pads off. The dark of the night sent a chill down her spine as she walked onward to get a kill for herself.

Snow had crunched underneath her as the wind whistled past her lobes. Her nostrils flared when the smell of the cold went into her nose and caused a burning sensation inside her nose. A sneeze erupted from her nasal region, shaking her head and continuing onward. Some distant sounds caught her attention as she tried her best to stay on guard.
