My Wolfborn lover

Stolen

-1-

Korra dipped her head down low, crouching as she crawled along, snuffling at the salty air that surrounded her. The icy field seemed to go on for miles behind her. Pine trees littered the completely white terrain, seemingly at random. To most, this would seem like an endless snow covered field. In actuality, it went on for many miles ahead, dipping upward to create small hills, that dipped down flat again, and after much travelling, the field ended in a wildlife, forest-covered expanse of mountains. It was here that Korra and her pack ran free. Many times, an animal would pass out of the trees, and try to make the journey across the icy sea. Yes, this icy wildland seemed like a field, but truly, it was a frozen sea that had been frozen for so long, that plant life had begun to take root in it.

Korra shook her chestnut fur, shaking frost from the recent storm off her dark pelt. Her pelt was what was considered valuable. It was a gorgeous umber color, streaked with shocks of a darker brown. She shook her mighty head, ears flicking for any source of noise from the particular thing she was hunting. Her older sister Katara had gone missing only hours before, she and her pack had been hunting in the mountains but it was as if she had disappeared entirely. She shared blood with Korra, she was kin and there was nothing a wolf, especially Korra, valued more.

The only thing that hinted at where she could be were the marks on the icy grass, the smell of burning fur and strangers. Humans from a distant land or an enemy pack? She wondered. Her Alpha Tarrlok had insisted that they move on and that they would stumble upon her anyways. She was disgusted by this...that he cared so little about his own niece. However, she kept silent and didn't directly confront the powerful shifter. When the attention had fully fallen from Korra and Katara, she took off to search for her sibling, but she had found nothing yet. There was a trail though, of smoke smeared ice and burning fur that left off on the edge of the ocean. It meant one thing; Katara had been taken away by a human.

She curled her lips with fury; Wolven kind like her had begun disappearing off the Icy Edge just like this. Tarrlok claimed it to be nothing, a myth told by mothers to keep their pups in the den but she was beginning to doubt his knowledge. She had no respect for him in the first place since it was he who attacked and killed her and Katara's parents for rights as Alpha. She grit her teeth, ears twitching. She refused to believe, didn't want to believe her sibling had been lost like this! She glared at the ice-cold ocean, what had once seemed like a sanctuary and a sight to gaze upon when the moon began to wake up, was now something accursed and evil. After all, how could she cross it to get her sister from human lands? Human lands she wasn't even sure existed...was she expected to seek out tales and myths for her entire life?

She dropped her head, this time not to scent, but in anguish for her lost kin. She would have to find a way. She trotted from the icy field, her fur blowing in the cold breeze. Her pads were cold upon the ice, and even colder as she accelerated, running as fast as she possibly could. She wished this was all a nightmare; she'd wake up curled against the warm comforting body of her elder sister, and be at peace once again. It was not to be so though, she couldn't deny the reality of the situation. One way or another she would have to get Katara back. As she leapt into the icy forest, her eyes burning from the blow of the cold wind, she cocked her head, darting into the shadows as she heard something strange and unfamiliar.

It was loud, extremely loud, and it hurt her sensitive ears. She burrowed a hole to hide in with her paws quickly, but the sound was increasing by the second. She lifted her head, eyes wide with fear at the sight that lay before her...something and unheard of, alien and strange...a legend. It was technology. It was a big silver thing, on a thin sheet of something beneath that skimmed the ice. There was what resembled Korra when she was in her human form on the top of it. Yes, she was part human, they all were, but people who were completely human...they were unheard of. She bared her fangs, and when the thing didn't turn, and the thing on the vehicle didn't turn away she hightailed it out of there.
