The Sentinels A Shadow in the Moonlight.

The girl wanted to scoff, but for once bit back her hasty response. She wasn't necessarily against allies, but not having any didn't automatically make everyone your enemy. If you're careful, keep to the shadows, then you aren't the one being watched. You become the watcher. This thought, however, was extremely hypocritical given that she had just attempted and failed to even remain hidden. Perhaps if she was better, or with time she would be correct, but for now she would be considered an easy target. If kali were to speak truthfully, she doesn't prefer being alone. Life just worked out like that and after what she saw, it was better off this way.

"... Someone or something has led to you walking your path alone."

The words scraped against her skin causing her jaw to tighten, the snap of bone loud enough to bounce off the walls of the enclosed space. Have you ever thought that maybe I picked this life? To some degree, Kali had. She could have stayed, but what good was a deadbeat daughter to a pack that had turned their backs on her? This was the easy path, not the strong one Akai had mentioned. It was easier to turn her back on them than to accept what had been done.
