The snow had stopped not long ago. The last few snowflakes fell about her feet as she stood still outside the borders of the forest. The tall trees were daunting to her. The snow settled upon the tree tops, blocking out what little light from the sky there was. Though the snow had stopped, the sky was still grey and miserable and the forest before her looked a little scary. Though she was used to tall trees, Canada was full of them, she didn't know this place and now that she could see through the snow flurry, she was finally able to take it all in. The snow having stopped gave her time to pause. She had not stopped to think since she had woken up alone. Now that the silence around her screamed in her ears, she gave a brief thought to everything she had lost. A small whine escaped her.
Lowering her warm eyes to the floor, she lowered her rear to the ground with a soft thud. The cold didn't reach her skin, her thick winter coat prevented the cold burn to her rear. Her tail curled around her paws whilst her head remained lowered. She sat feet away from the forest edge, out in the open where the marsh met the forest and for the first time she felt completely alone in the world. She was never a negative girl, she was upbeat and positive, she was the balance in her family, the peacekeeper, the one to put a smile on your face when it held a frown or to ground you when your head got to big. Now though, now she was alone and the very thought terrified her more then the nagging rumble of her very empty stomach. Another sad whine escaped her and defeated, lost within her troubled thoughts, she lowered herself to the ground and curled up tightly in a ball.
With nothing left, she would let the winter take her. It seemed the only way out to her. She'd never been in this situation before, she didn't know which way to turn. She had know clue what to do with herself and the thought of joining another pack to survive hadn't even crossed her mind. All she wanted to do was find her family, but she had yet to find any trace of them and with the snow falling so heavy for most of the day and night, whatever traces there might have been of them was well and truly gone. She would never see her family again; her father was dead, she saw him fall before her very eyes, but her mother, sisters and brother, her pack mates and even the neighbouring packs- they were all faces she'd never see again, scents she'd never taste once more. No, she had no reason to enter the daunting forest, no reason to go on. The usually happy girl closed her eyes and thought of all of their faces and waited for the snow to fall once more.
