Waiting in camp for the blizzard to be over didn't suit the she-cat, not when she needed to run away from her thoughts. They were all-consuming, ensnaring, whenever she tried avoiding thinking of her mother, she thought of her ThunderClan opponent instead and a new, uncomfortable feeling rose like bile in her throat instead. The longer she travelled, the more her tail lashed and the more her tail lashed, the more she wanted to run and run and never look back.
She dipped her muzzle into the snow where she'd found solid bedding material before and nudged it around like a shovel until she pulled at something completely frozen below the surface. It snapped, brittle as bird's bone, and with it came a wilted fern, too damaged to be of any use to anyone. Her ear swung backward. "Oh for fuck's—" Restless paws kicked up the snow, creating a slurry that did nothing but add to the already heavy fall.
"There's nothing out here! Of course there isn't." As another rush of cold chilled her bones, she turned to her patrol mates to see if they had better luck.
