Beyond the veil

YAY!!

Kadence could tell that he was getting slightly annoyed, that he just wanted to know. She tilted her head at him, her glowing eyes studying him in every which way. What if he thought of her as a monster? She had made that mistake once before. After escaping, she had met another wolf on the run from his pack and they had become friends. He was the only friend the dark assassin had ever had and when he asked her what the scars were she had no trouble telling him. At the time she didn't know that other would be afraid of her identity.

The look of pure horror on his face was enough to make her close up completely, unwilling to let anyone in. He fled later that night, his haste making him clumsy and the only thing Kadence could do was watch his retreating form as the only friend she had ever had turned her into a monster in her own head.

The white wolf in front of her looked he might, just might understand. And if he didn't, so be it. It wasn't like she cared what he thought of her.

"In that case, I will call you Silver. And if you really want to know, I suppose I can't hide the truth forever."

Reaching a large obsidian paw up to her face, she gestured to the silver X shaped scar below her eye.

"This is the mark of my old master, Deadmau." putting her paw down, she flicked her ear, the breeze sliding through the gaps that punctured it's soft flesh. "And these, are reminders of those I've killed." she finished, her voice a mere whisper at the end of her confession.
