Paws glazed with paper-thin sheets of frosted crystals and chunks of ice crunched the fresh-fallen, newly-laid, snow atop the mountain. Everyone's breath came out white. The stars in midnight's sky dazzled and beamed, happy to witness the three travelers' journey falling in place, just as it should. One member of the trio let his tongue hang free, plunging onto the soft, white, blanket; gasped at the cold of it, then did it again. Delighted barks ensued. The Tiger and the young Cat with wings lagged behind with a failing, unsteady, pace. The Tiger's breath puffed, each time her white vapor becoming less as she exhaled. But she didn't stop. She wouldn't ask HIM to slow the gait. "A-are w-w-we almost t-there yet?" Her jaw chattered, unable to stop. She was SO cold. The wolf stopped his self-amusement abruptly. He froze and stared into her cinnamon eyes. She tried to hold his stare and pin him mentally. She couldn't. Because she knew he could see through her facade of strength. He KNEW she was weak now. She looked away, trying to blink him out of her vision, out of her head. He lowered his eyes, searching the icy crystals for an answer. Then he erected his head with the aura of a leader. He let his eyes mist over, washing away the pang before she could sense it. "No." He turned away. She didn't, and wouldn't, know how it felt like a bash to the cheek, only his heart was the target instead. Swallowing, he strode on, the snow crunching like some part of him inside was BURNING. "Then I can't go on," She whispered, letting her fur sink into the powder. The little feline let out an unrestrained wail. She nimbly padded up and nipped the Tiger gently. Then, delicately rubbing against the Tiger with silent words, she curled into a ball and lay beside her, forbidding the secret doubts that made her stomach rumble freely and unrestrained.
