"I'm going to tell you what happened to Kapuki and Chaltuu," Shujaa said quietly. She took a deep breath.
"When Chaltuu was born, Dad thought she was a curse because she had red fur. He mistreated her and forced her to do lots of chores, and he never allowed her to do anything fun. Dad scarred her, disowned her, and exiled her. Wait, I forgot- Mum didn't really take care of her. When Kapuki was born, she was treated better than Chaltuu was, but Kivuli really didn't pay much attention to her. Uangaze didn't, either. A while later, when I was born, Dad tried to make Kapuki become the mates to some 'Mashuhuri' because Mashuhuri's father promised Dad something that I can't really remember. Then I was born. I was really weak and small when I was born, and I couldn't really nurse properly. I finally did, but I wasn't treated that well either. Dad didn't like me because I had been born weak and small."
Shujaa stared at her paws, her head hung low and her shoulders slumped.
"Then Dad hit me." She gestured to the scars on her face with her paw.
