Ren crept along as carefully as she could, hyper-aware of the bad combination of broken glass and bare feet. Especially since those assholes had spent way too long working callouses off her feet. She’d worked hard on those callouses! She’d earned them.
She heard nothing but the sound of wind and rain, and the various creaks and clatters of any long-abandoned building. She didn’t pay any mind to the shuffling until she saw something shift in the darkness up ahead. Immediately, her mind went to feral dogs and other transients, stronger or more dangerous than her.
She shifted back into the shadows, but it was coming fast. Too fast! Nothing she knew moved liked that, four feet on the floor but huge. She stumbled backwards, hands going to her pockets for a pocket rat that wasn’t there.
She took in limbs and wings and claws and horns and teeth as the thing opened its mouth and let out a bone-shaking roar. With a cross between a shriek and a squeak, she threw one arm up in front of her, and her hand hit something squishy and soft in her pocket.
POCKET RAT!
She chucked it at the creature automatically; there had never been a situation in her life which couldn’t be helped by throwing something, particularly a rat. She would make amends to ratkind later.
Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be necessary, because it wasn’t a rat, because this wasn’t her hoodie.
No, it was... an entire cupcake, which she had grabbed by the wrapper and flung in a sharp arc towards the roaring beast.
