Enjoy!
She woke up later to her mother calling. Ben moved next to her, and Ali lifted her head. Snow dusted their furs: white and red, white and steel grey.
Ali glanced up at the sky and found that it was still snowing, an icicle dropped on her nose and she sneezed. Ben's sides moved as he laughed at her silently, and Ali bared her teeth in mock threat.
"Alison?!" She heard her mom call out again, and got to her feet. Ali stretched out her lithe form, her claws extending and retracting like a cat's into the snow.
It felt weird between her toes, all cold and squishy. She heard her mom call for her again.
Ben got his feet too, and shook out his own fur.
Though she'd never admit it to anyone out loud, she liked the colour of his fur, and the smell of him. It made her feel safe, almost as much as a hug from her mother did, sometimes more.
He was bigger than her too, and it ticked her off. But she was still growing, something she made sure to tell him when the situation called for it, like when they would play-fight on boring days to pass time and she would win, or just to point out that she was up to his shoulder already and she was barely sixteen.
Ali nipped him playfully and then took off for the house, Ben on her heels.
