White.
That was the first thing that Matha remembered after she had pulled herself up the beach and had started to explore this territory. She had headed for the tall mountains in the distance, hoping to find some food there. All to no avail. Matha cursed herself for being so dim-witted and continued.
The wind whipped up around Matha in a constant howling tornado. It whistled deafingly and her eyes stung from the snow whirling into them from the fierce blasts as the yearling continued. She tried to remember all that had happened before she had winded up on this island. She suddenly remembered her brother Ragur.
Damn that idiot. If it wasn't for his over-consuming jealousy, Matha would still be back at camp with her parents. She had been living a perfectly happy life as the alpha's daughter, being granted certain privilges that most wolves would only dream of having, until her brother had gotten a bite from the jealousy bug. To make a long story short, Matha's tail tip was no longer there, her entire family was dead, and here she was on this absurdly tall mountain.
Still, if this was a pack territory, it would benefit Matha. She'd been wandering for so long that she'd almost forgotten what wolves looked like. Matha shivered. Since she was barely more than a year old, Matha's coat hadn't really had a chance to grow in. Even though it was spring, it was still chilly up here.
Matha shivered again, wondering how any kind of wolf could survive in these conditions. Never had she faced wind that was this cold and blistering. Matha knew that if she didn't get out of the wind, she would most likely perish in it. She struggled foward, trying desperatley to find shelter.
Luck, it seemed, was on her side. Matha soon found a small outcropping of rocks that she could lay under. She wriggled in, but before howling loudly, hoping that the noise would carry above the wind and alert other wolves to her presence.
Matha sighed and curled up inside of the outcropping, watching the storm outside with a mixture of awe and terror. She sighed, hoping that other wolves would come soon. Matha couldn't take this much longer.
To hell with that Ragur, how she hated him so.
