So sorry for my delay & the fact I am moving so slowly @Star Eater!

The enemy backed off. The taught sinew of Shadowpaw’s muscles relaxed slightly… until the woman blatantly blocked the entrance to their shelter – Shadowpaw’s only hope of escape.

I must get you warm, the other pleaded. “No-no,” Shadowpaw resisted, insistent that she shouldn’t be touched despite her shivering body’s betrayal. The girl wouldn’t last five minutes in the exposed weather.

But what was that in the eyes of the sister Shepherd’s wife? Was it pity? Sympathy? Shadowpaw would have said anything – any lie – to get her way. Her tone changed. “Y-you need to let me go,” the girl pleaded. “I don’t want to be here… y-y-you have to tell him to let me go.”
