I bet we Tigers could change our stripes if we wanted to.

A large shape darted around the corner. A large light flashed after it. It was animal control, an advanced unit that had tranquilizers. The creature ran swiftly, unsure where to go. 'Crap. I'm in deep crap right now! Where am I supposed to go?!' The feline thought harshly. She rounded another corner, and jumped an Alleyway fence in an attempt to loose them. It was unsuccessful.

She turned another sharp corner. She stumbled, tripling over her own paws, she fell, rolled and the came to a stop. She immediately popped back up to her feet just as a light shone on her. She darted once again.

As she turned a final corner, she found herself on the main road. She pounded the ground with her paws as she ran her fastest, almost as if she was leaping with every step. Then she saw it. A staircase! The subways were a great place to loose the Animal Control, even though she'd probably get lost herself in an attempt to run.

She skidded and did a two sixty turn, then went down the stairs as fast as her paws would allow. She could still here the rapid footsteps behind her. It would've been incredibly easy to just turn around and kill either of the men, but she wouldn't do it. She would never kill anyone.

In front of her, a wall. She turned left. Then another wall. Right. Wall. Left. Wall. Left again. Another wall. Then, she saw an open ventilation Shaft above her. She jumped for it. Her claws dug into the material, and she hoisted herself into the tiny space. She could just barely squeeze in it.

She watched cautiously as the men came down. "Tigers don't just disappear. You sure we actually saw anything?" One of them questioned. "I never saw it in the first place. Lets just forget about it." The other said. Then they left.

After several minutes, the startled giant jumped down from her hiding place. She looked around, and immediately knew she was lost. She had no idea where she was. She began walking through a dimly lit hallway.

Her paws shuffled trash out to the sides of her as she came to a large cave type area. It was covered in dirt and debris, and she wasn't sure if she would find anyone there or not. Damien hadn't told her anything about the Thieves staying in the tunnels, had he? She couldn't remember.

Kitten gave a cautious growl as a shuffling sound was echoed through the cave. It was nothing more than a rat though, a brainless one, not an intelligent Shifter. She didn't bother trying to catch the animal, it was far to small to be a satisfy to her large appetite, and besides that, she didn't eat rats. Only fish and some birds.

Footsteps echoed in the corridor. Kitten swung her body around to the direction of the sounds. She stood on edge, watching the darkness intently to find out who it was that was there. Depending on who she found, and whether they smelled enough like their respective animal to be a Shifter, she might just bolt.

He remained in the shadows, keeping his distance from both the animal catchers, and the animal they were trying to catch. He wasn't new to this area, just new to its society, he kept away from both people and other shifters. He knew nothing of the rules that abide around here, so if him and his comrades were to come out of hiding he would need answers.

He knew that this tiger was indeed a shifter, wouldn't see an animal like that around here. He could see that she was in trouble, and he was about to either step in or distract the catchers with his wolf form, but she cleverly found a hiding place. Once the catchers split he emerged. He was in his human form, so that he wouldn't draw any attention, or break any of the local rules.

He stepped toward the feline, showing no threat or fear toward her. In a way he wanted to let her now he wasn't any ol' curious human, but a shifter too. His blue eyes met her green eyes as he spoke, of course he knew she couldn't answer but he knew she would understand, " could you help me ?"

The footsteps got closer, and Kitten watched as human stepped into view. He spoke causally, " could you help me ?" Kitten wondered if this guy was an idiot, or an actual Shifter. She twitched her whiskers, her face scrunched in a look of confusion, that probably looked like a growl to others. No sound came from her mouth though, and her expression looked for the most part, comical.

She came forward, only about four feet from the guy now. She sniffed the air around him. He reeked of Wolf. Kitten shuddered. She disliked dogs, they put her on edge. Her fur bristled, and her back arched, her ears twisted back, and a small hiss came to her maw.

She shook her head though, telling herself that she as a Tiger could easily overpower a wolf. Probably. Maybe. Her self confidence was draining. She shook her head again, and brushed a paw over her eyes.

She looked away from the guy, thinking. She could help him with whatever it was he needed, probably. Or she could eat him. Or run away, or simply tell him no. She decided she'd be nice, and tell him yes.

She looked at him and nodded her feline head slowly. Then Shifted back into a human. She had dressed better that day, since she had decided to go exploring. She was wearing Capri's and a tank top. More than she usually wore.

"I don't know; but I can try. I'm Kitten, who're you?" Kitten asked quietly, but still nicely. She noticed he looked alot nicer when she was human and had full color eyes, then when she was a cat and could only make out a few of the colors he had. He was kinda cute, for a Wolf.
