The Wonders Of Winter

The sound of her sister's voice woke Arella up quickly. The darkness of sleep was comforting and she felt warm, curled against her mother's belly, her siblings all close -- save for one.
The young girl blinked, revealing brilliant blue eyes beneath. She had expected it to be light when she finally awoke, but the brightness that shone from the den's mouth was blinding. A whimper escaped her tiny mouth, eyelids briefly closing, pressing her face against her mother's warm fur. Her small jaws parted, a quiet yawn escaping her throat as sleepiness slowly escaped her body.
"Whaaaaat, Surreal?" She mumbled softly, moving slowly from her mother's embrace. Her voice was void of annoyance, but instead was simply curious and wondering. Eventually she was awake enough to fully open her eyes, looking around the den again. It wasn't quite as bright as it had seemed before, but it was cold. Colder than she had expected. Her mother's fur was a tempting place to hide about for awhile, but as she peered at the entrance to the den, she became overcome with curiosity at what Surreal had found.
"What is it?" She called a bit louder, voice ringing with happiness and wonder at what her sister had found. It must've been exciting, to make her call for all of them so loudly! Quickly Arella pulled herself to all four paws, clambering out of the den with surprising swiftness.
What she found left her breathless. Soft, white stuff decorated the ground. The light reflected brilliantly off the stuff, causing the whole world to glow and shimmer. Eyes grew wide as she stepped down to Surreal. She leaned down, nose barely touching the snow, and jumped back slightly as though surprised by how it felt. "Woah! This is so cool," she remarked breathlessly, a giggle escaping her mouth. She barked then, calling her siblings to join them and see the snow.
