All movement stopped when Dawn heard footsteps behind her. She pressed her back firmly against the wall and pulled her knees into her chest. An audible groan escaped her lips as she caught her cut with one of her knees, which made all efforts to hold her breath in vain. Damn it. Perhaps her pursuers didn't hear that? No, of course they did.<br/><br/>Eyes darted around the dark alleyway, in search of anything she could use as self-defense. The only item besides boxes and trashcans was a soggy pizza box, mostly disintegrated from the rain. Great.<br/><br/>If she could, it would be the perfect time to shift to wolf form. That would give her the speed she needed to lose the men attacking her. She was too injured, though. It would be impracticable to try and change now.<br/><br/>Dawn couldn't see any other option, she'd have to wait it out. Hope that whoever was behind her was just an innocent civilian trying to make their way round the dark streets. She let her head flop down, staring at the ground and trying to detract attention.
