(I haven't posted in so long even though this is my own thread. Wow. So I apologize if I skipped something while making this post!)

Alone.

She was utterly alone.

Utterly alone as the Jammers came racing at her.

Utterly alone as she tried to fend them off.

Utterly alone as she was defeated, dragged out to the prison-cart-thing. Utterly alone as she thrashed, trying to kick them away, utterly alone as they managed to snap on an inhibitor collar. Utterly alone as she was tossed in like a random bag no one cared about.

There was no comfortable thing here to rest on. And because of the stupid collar, no matter how much she attempted, she couldn't phase out.

"Hey."

Ashira whirled around, blinking in shock to see a silver she-cat laying down. Ashira hadn't even noticed her. "You're not going to get out, you know," she continued. "You have no idea how much I've tried."

"Who are you?" Ashira asked, curious.

"Silver. I'm a telekinetic." She waved a paw at the collar. "But this is actually kinda helping me. My telekinesis has a mind of its own, and if I use it too much, I lose control, go insane. Now I don't hear it anymore."

"So you're glad to be stuck here? Away from your family? Away from friends?"

The she-cat's jade green eyes narrowed. "I lost my sister to a python. My father disappeared. My mother is all I have now. And we've been distant."

"Tough luck," the wolf spat. "My parents just abandoned me when I was barely a week old."

"Something we can relate. Family problems."

"Don't forget that they fear us."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Yeah." Silver spread her paws. "We're just the most relatable animals ever...what's your name?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Ashira."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"Well, Ashira, let me tell you something. They fear us partially because they feel weak. They feel threatened. But not all animals are like them." Silver closed her eyes, resting her head against the wall. "Even in the midst of night, there's  light in the moon."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">Quizzical, Ashira looked out the barred window. She blinked as she realized that there was a moon, here.

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"So you're telling me look for the light?"

<p style="font-weight:normal;">"No." Silver opened her eyes and looked at the wolf. "I'm telling you to open your eyes. Don't act as if they're entirely for fault. We can't control our emotions, and because of that we do reckless things. So don't just pretend you're the only one who has emotions. We all do."

<p style="font-weight:normal;">(Yes I'm bringing Silver in. I'm shameless.)
