'Arctic Tears'

yep another fic..*groans*. Don't worry, this one is completely seperate from my other ones...*hears sighs of relief* whhhaaattt?

Chapter 1

Tilla poked her head out of the burrow cautiously and whined worryingly. Her mate had chased after a trespassing male earlier in the day and he hasn't come back sense.
Oh please be all right... she thought. She couldn't afford to lose her mate now, not with a pup on the way and winter closing in fast.
She took a chance and climbed all the way out to look around. She sniffed the air and perked up her ears, trying to catch any hint of scent or sound. But it was quiet and the air nearly devoid of any scent. The moon was full tonight and she could see for a long ways off and she looked desperately for any sign of her mate out in the tundra, which was starting to get the first hints of frost on it in the cold night.
Tilla knew she couldn't stay out long...as her winter coat was fully in and was a very pale green, which clashed against the dark brown and green land around her, making her a very visible target for what ever predators were out this night. Worse yet, a bachelor male looking to 'steal' a burrow for the winter. Females, especially pregnant ones, were no match for the larger males if they wanted to steal their burrows and a burrow less female was as good as dead this late in the year unless she can find a new one.
All this was because, unlike their much larger southern cousins, Arctic Drakkic packs only get as big as three or four; a male, female and their pups, which are born in the spring and raised during the short summer when prey is plentiful. The pups are allowed to stay through one winter...then chased out during the following summer just before mating season. During the really cold part of winter they hibernate, until it warms up.
A cold breeze came up and forced her to go back inside. She curled up in her nest, her tentacles curling up and her overall expression turning into one of distress. Tears welled up in her pale yellow eyes and fell down her cheeks, wetting the soft fur on her face and revealing her green skin underneath. Tilla made herself as comfortable as possible...before falling into an uneasy and restless sleep....
