Cathie

Cathie had always been the kind of girl who understood everyone’s pain, yet never spoke about her own. When she was little, lightning struck her home during a violent storm. That night, she lost her mother—and a strange sky-blue lightning scar appeared across Cathie’s right cheek. No doctor could explain where it came from. After that night, Cathie changed. She became quieter, calmer, and unusually observant. People thought she was fearless. They were wrong. Cathie had simply learned how to live with fear. Whenever lightning flashed across the night sky, she remembered her mother’s final words: "When everything becomes dark, be the light for someone else." Cathie never forgot those words. But there was one secret she had never told anyone... The lightning that changed her life didn't come from the sky alone. ⚡
