Lyra
Her legs were pumping hard and her breath was loud and fast. She burst through some foliage into a clearing near a large, icicle laden tree. Her legs slowed to a walk as she circled the tree. She sniffed the air and scented nothing. Finally, she fell exhausted on the frozen ground.
Her sides heaved from the effort of running almost the whole night through. "They've gone now." She said, not caring to whisper. "They won't... find me." Her pulse slowed and she regained control of herself again.
He aimed her head towards the way she had came and saw the deep marks her paws had made in the snow. The snow felt so good against her burning pelt that she rolled around until her fur held as much snow as the tree overlooking her.
When she had cooled, she slowly stood and looked around. Not a single rustle, not even wind, disrupted the scenery. She growled. "I've done it again! Gone off and found the place with no food, no water!" She howled in rage at herself and fell again to the ground.
Disgusted, she put her paws over her head. "Why can't I do anything right?"
