(Wander's POV)

I storm over to the stage. My face was hot with fury and my hands were clenched tightly in a fist. Ebony was talking to Ivory and Silver Lining.

"Ebony!!"
I shouted. Ebony faced me with a smirk.

"Hello, Wandy~"
She purred seductively. My eyebrows furrowed.

"You wanna ditch this and go have some real fun?"
She smirked. The nerve of this cat!!

"Why would ah want to have fun with someone who hurt mah best friend?!"
I snapped. She chuckled.

"'Best friend'? Ha!! Why would you want to be friends with a freak like her, while you can be lovers with a treasure like me? And what do you see in her?! She's an obnoxious, short-tempered, reckless airhead!!"
She scoffed. This gal is starting to get on my nerves........

"Snowbelle is not a freak!! She's a great friend who doesn't care how her looks effect other people's opinions!! She's beautiful, and smart, and carin' and downright sweet to the core!!"
I growled.

"That runt can't have you!! You belong to me!! And I get what I want!!"
She hissed. That was the last straw. I gritted my teeth, grabbed Ebony by the shoulders and got in her face.

"Say that about Snowy again!! Ah dare ya!!"
I barked. Everyone around me, Sylvia especially, gasped. I was surprised at my sudden outburst as well, but that doesn't matter right now!!

"She's. A. Runt."
Ebony sneered. She pushed me away. I started breathing heavily, my face reddening with anger. I shout and start to charge at Ebony, but something wrapped around my torso. I looked down and saw Sylvia's tail wrapped around me. I started to struggle so as to break free from Sylvia's grasp.

"Whoa, Wander, calm down!! You're acting like me!!"
Sylvia pointed out. I huffed and Sylvia released me.

"Yer right.... We should be focusin' on finding Snowy!!"
I ran in the direction Snowy went in. I gotta find her. She's my best friend. And of all the times that she needs me...... It. Is. Now!!

(Snowbelle's POV)

I run through the busiest part of town: Clawson Square. Named after my hometown's founder, Myer Clawson. There's more than one town on planet Felinus. As I look back, I see that Silver Lining and Ivory were in hot pursuit. Not sure why they're after me. Doesn't matter, gotta get away. I hopped up on top of a fountain. I'm glad I'm one of those Felinas who aren't afraid of water. But Silver Lining and Ivory are hydrophobic. Winning!!

"Nice try, suckahs!!"
I smile triumphantly. Everyone in the Square looked at me. They could all see my tear-stained face and birthmark-slash-scar combo. Silver Lining and Ivory had evil grins on their faces. It was a trap!! I fell for it!! Are you kidding me?! Losing!!

"Oh my goodness!! That thing looks like a freak of nature!!"
One random female shouted.

"How did Mother Nature have the guts to create that?!"
Another female yelled.

"I pity it's parents!!"
A male said. My ears lower and my tail tucks itself in between my legs. I look at the glowing screen/billboards and saw myself. I jumped down and dashed through the crowd as Felinas made hurtful comments about my appearance.

"Ugh, it's a she?!"

"That is the most grotesque Felina I've ever seen!!"

"What did we do to genetics?!"
The Felinas' insults only made me run faster until I reached the woods. I didn't stop running. The entire town knows how I really look and they hate it. If they don't want to see something as freakish as me, then I'll save them the pain and hide. From Eugenia and Will-O-Wisp. From Ebony. From the town. From everybody. Including Wander and Sylvia. No matter how much I'll miss them.

"I'll hide out here in the woods. So no one will have to see a freak like me again......."
I thought to myself. Let me explain how I got the scar. I was five months old. It was just me, Mom, and Dad. We went on a picnic and ran into a cobra-bear. The beast noticed me first and scratched me across the eye. It didn't affect my sight, but it did scar. For family photos, photographers refused to take the picture if they could see the scar and birthmark. So that's why I hid it. What's the point of living in that stupid town if they're just gonna hate me for existing?

"Enjoy not having me around........"
I said to myself and walked deeper into the woods. Where nobody will find me.
