Hello! This is my first POM fic so I hope you like it :) The story does not revolve around the Penguins and they might not even be in it at all, but there is no separate section for the POM Movie so I had to put it here. I saw how little fics there were surrounding the North Wind and specifically Classified, and I was suddenly inspired so here it is :) if you like it please leave a review!

Chapter 1

The snow and the sky seemed to blend together in a flash of white as the young husky raced across the ground. She was panting heavily but fought off her fatigue, keeping her mind set on one thing: the finish line.

She could see the banner of the finish line lightly swaying in the crisp wind. She could also see the outlines of the humans cheering her and her team on as they got closer and closer. She glanced quickly to her side and slightly behind her, seeing that her team were tired but still pushing through.

She suddenly lifted her nose in the air and sniffed, her ears turning back slightly as more adrenaline filled her veins. She cast a quick glare at the racing team that was several paces behind her. Though her team was still significantly ahead, it seemed as though the other team was slowly advancing.

She narrowed her eyes and let out a low growl, letting her anger fuel her into moving faster. Though her legs were beginning to ache, she increased her speed as much as she could. The finish line was right in front of them.

'Almost there...' She thought, narrowing her eyes even more as she used the last of her strength to sprint the last several feet. In a matter of seconds, her team was across the finish line.

Humans were shouting and raising their arms in joy and victory, as her team slowed down. They came to a stop, huffing and panting. Some dropped to the ground in exhaustion, though they let out a few yips of happiness.

"Good girl, Tundra. Good girl!" A dark-haired human male smiled brightly and rubbed the husky's red ears. She smiled in return, slumping onto the snow-covered ground. The cold gave some relief to her over-heated body. Her heart began to return to its normals pace after several moments, and Tundra finally felt some energy returning to her. She lifted herself off the ground and sighed.

"Good work, team." She said, turning to the 6 huskies laying on the ground behind her. A few of them tiredly hollered "yeah!" while some others just nodded in agreement, too tired to respond.

"I almost died, but it was worth it." A sarcastic voice spoke out. Tundra rolled her eyes.

"I think we all had our energy drained today, Nat." The red-colored husky smirked in the direction of the glaring female husky. She had black fur on mostly the top of her body, and white on her belly, legs, and part of her face, just like Tundra (besides having part black fur instead of red). Unlike Tundra, Natalia had dark brown eyes. Tundra had bright green eyes, which some say are a trick of the light, but are in fact 100% green.

The dark husky stuck out her tongue, sitting up on her hind legs. "Why don't we go rest by the ocean?" She suggested, eagerness clear in her voice. Tundra's ears perked up, liking the idea very much.

"Alright." She answered. She turned her head in the direction of her team's sled-operator, and barked to get his attention. The man looked over from where he stood shaking hands with random townspeople, and excused himself politely from the group of people around him.

"Want me to untie ya?" He asked, reaching for the harness around Tundra's neck and back. She nodded her head in response. The man unclipped her from the harness, and rubbed her head before moving onto Natalia and the other huskies.

.o.0.o.

Tundra walked upright with Natalia to her left. The snow crunched under their feet as they strolled across a small field of snow to reach the ocean side.

"All I'm saying is, he's attractive! Definitely better than some of the husks' around here. Too bad he's on the opposing team..." Natalia said. Tundra rolled her eyes.

"Of course you would be into him, he's got that whole... 'Wolf-ish' thing going on." She said. Natalia laughed guiltily.

"What can I say, I find the look ruggedly-handsome. Don't you?" She questioned, looking at her friend. Tundra shrugged her shoulders.

"Ehh, I guess I haven't seen the right 'wolf'". She joked. She suddenly slowed her walking as she felt the light touches of snow falling. She closed her eyes in content.

She had always felt most at peace when she was away from the town, nearer to the dark Alaskan woods or ocean. It was quieter, calmer; and for some reason, had a sense of familiarity. This had always confused Tundra, as she couldn't remember why the silence of the Alaskan woods or sight of the ocean brought back such sentimental feelings. Sure, she had been going to these places since she could walk, but there was a more... Primal undertone to it. As if she was meant to be there. She lightly shook her head, clearing those thoughts.

"Are you coming?" Natalia called over her shoulder, being a few paces in front of Tundra.

"Yeah." Tundra replied, jogging to catch up with her friend.

.o.0.o.

The pounding of paws was the only thing breaking the silence of the prison. Ragged breaths escaped a dark-colored wolf as he sprinted through the corridors. His bright green eyes glinted in the dim light, a spark of madness hidden behind the irises.

He neared a round door which was unguarded, like many of the hallways he had just run through. He quickly opened the door, pushing it open and staring into the night. He took a moment to breathe deeply, finally letting a crazed smile adorn his features.

He was finally free.
