Scratch felt sympathy for him, that valley was a nightmare!

How come we never knew this?

He looks from Thunderbolt to Shadow and growled.

"What the hell was that? Why didn't you tell us?" Of course no words came out of Shadow, and that made Scratch furious.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?" He repeated. Shadow still had no answer for him.

Scratch lunged, but before he could land on him, Howl intervened by pulling Scratch by the scruff, dragging him away from Shadow. "Enough Scratch! We've just escaped our worst nightmares! I want answers too, but, come on......let's give him a break."

Scratch sighed. "Fine..." he whispered. He walked away from them and found a spot away from the pack.

When Scratch looked at Shadow again, his expression changed from anger to gut wrenching sympathy.

Shadow looked.......ashamed, but at the same time afraid.

What did he see in that valley?

Shadow lowered his head and turned it away from Scratch.

He never saw this side of the black wolf before....
