Shared Scars of Survival

Chapter 4: The Shared Scar Willow’s rejection stung Finn, bringing back the

icy grip of his former isolation. For the first time, he pushed. "What is it,

Willow? I told you my darkest memory. Why are you suddenly distant?"

Willow looked toward the old house ruins, her eyes dark with a familiar, distant sorrow.

She hesitated, then sighed, a sound heavy with regret. "I didn't mean to,

Finn. It's just... I have a scar too. And it's on my heart." She slowly explained.

Before meeting Finn, Willow had a life with humans in a small cottage near the great house.

She was safe, loved, and was nursing her first litter of kittens.
