Chapter 24

Tigger had done something that few felines did with their human companions. He had linked with Anya. Anya was a good human. She gave freely of herself to Tigger and to other humans. It hadn’t taken Tigger long to decide to give feline link to Anya. Very few humans received the link and of those who did, none but those with psi training knew they had it. Psi was not an ability that the humans cultivated. Maybe that would change, but it wasn’t Tigger’s concern. Tigger watched over Anya through the link. It was through the link he realized she had fallen ill, but now, somehow, the link was blocked. It wasn’t broken; Anya was still alive, and he didn’t believe she was far away. That would feel different. No, Tigger knew the link had been blocked for some reason, and he was determined to find out who was capable of blocking the link and why.
