The pitter patter of a soft rain and the occasional whistle of wind echoed throughout the den as she laid in her nest. Before she closed her eyes to sleep, she glanced towards the den's opening, hoping that when the clan awoke the next morning that a blanket of snow wouldn't be covering everything in sight. The last thing they needed was getting trapped inside the warrior's den again...just thinking about digging out again made her paws sting. The tabby let out a long breath and flick her thick tail over her nose, allowing sleep to claim her.
The next morning she awoke as sunlight was still creeping into the camp. Her lips curled back as she let out a tired yawn, and began to pull herself away from the rest of the sleeping bodies. There wasn't enough room to stretch properly while everyone was still in there, so she decided to wait until she was outside the den. To her delight there was no snow on the ground, but what she didn't realize was there was something else in store for her.
Three unsuspecting paws step outside of the den, and immediately she realizes her mistake. With her fourth paw still in the air, her body begins to slide forward. "Oh no.." she breathes sharply, her legs tensing. She slams her last paw down, and tries to dig her claws into the ground. It takes her a few tries, but she eventually sturdies herself on top of the ice. I wonder if I can make it back to the den without looking like a mouse brain... she wonders, turning her head back towards the den. As she looks, she spots some clanmates starting to stir. "Be careful! It's uh...slick.."
