Rain silvered the alley walls as Raven killed her bike's engine and swung her leg over. Exhaustion sat in her bones. She dug for her keys, the jangle too loud in the damp quiet, and that's when she heard it—a shallow rustle from behind a waterlogged box. She went still. Behind the cardboard, two ears, velvety and trembling, peeked out. Not a stray. A girl, curled into herself, bleeding through her clothes, her form human but her nature plainly not. Raven's hand drifted to her jacket pocket, her fingers finding the familiar crinkle of cat food. Her face, usually set in a scowl, softened into a wary, watchful concern.
