(Open to all~)
My ear twitches as a wind brushes it. Tail flicks against cold ground. But the noises around me aren't rumbling snores. Instead I hear shouts and human words. I open an eye and scream.
Its a human sound, but not quite. Where am I?
I sit up and dig my claws into the ground. They don't receive purchase. Looking down I stare in terror. My paws aren't paws anymore. Scratch that... WHAT AM I? Shifting around I feel something rub against my... Skin? Checking it out I see that I'm dressed in a little girl's sundress, the same color as my fur. I'm scared again, but I can't move.
"I'm... I'm human?"

She always thought best when riding, or building something. She wasn't really hungry and Oilcan was working late hauling a break-down for AAA. Being a contract Tow-truck driver was a nuisance, but the money was good and would help keep them going until the scrap yard business picked up. Besides, he always said he met the cutest girls that way. Which meant he would find some other excuse to keep it up even when the yard took off, or the latest royalties check came in. Which reminded her... she angled into an alleyway her mind busy with her latest project, then... "What the heck?" she screeched into a sideways slide to avoid hitting the kid sitting in the middle of the street.

"Ah!" My voice sounds a little small as I jump back and land against a wall. "S-sorry."

She untangles herself from her bike, cursing inside. What was with this kid? What was she doing out here alone? "Don't you know better than to play in the street?" She took off her helmet to glare at the kid, and got a whiff of something ... strange...

"I'm... I'm new to this all," I say softly, ears laid back against my head and tail hiding itself up my dress. My red-brown eyes stare though, wide I'm sure. "I didn't realize I was... Please forgive me!"

(Kiara sees a young woman, with Black Hair and yellow eyes, and American Indian features. )Mercy turns her head back and forth sniffing the air. Then does a double-take. Did she just say she is new at this?  I take a deeper sniff and sneeze. Cat and Demon... ewww. "Are you lost?" she asks in a softer voice, trying to get an estimate of the girl's age. "I don't think its safe to be here right now. I can take you home if you know where it is." |

(Gotcha~<3) Staring at the woman a moment I say, "No... My mommy left me a while ago... And I'm lost... I... I can't go home." ((Oh and that reminds me...Between the ages of seven and twelve, I say she's seven, but I drew her and my friends say she twelve  ) |

(Mercy looks around 17 or 18. If you have any special senses, she smells... other... with a overtone of dog/wolf).
"You can't go home?" Mercy's voice is very soft, she doesn't want to frighten the child, but the thought of anyone abandoning a kid like this makes her Furious. Especially since a Crossing has happened near here. It has to have, the smell of demon is everywhere. "Where are you staying then?"
And then it occurs to her that maybe the reason the girl is alone is because there has been a crossing - and her mother was taken. She grits her teeth and tries to breathe slowly, it is important to maintain control....

"I was staying..." My forehead wrinkles and I frown. Then sniff the air, whats with the overwhelming scent of K-9? "...With my master..."

"Your Master!" she snaps and then groans. "No, not .... now..." Then falls over curling into a ball as her face and body begin to shimmer. For a moment the air around the girl ... twists... then laying in the street instead of the young woman is a black and white... dog like creature (see avatar). The puppy whines, licks a paw and looks up sorrowfully at the little girl.

"Oh!" I say, shocked a moment before smiling warmly. "You're like me." And I reach down to pull the puppy farther from the road, my fingers petting her.

"I'm like her?" she thinks, "She's like me?" How cool is that!

Trying to pick up the pup, I attempt to get over to the bike, "Do you have someone whom can come pick you up when you're like this?" I'm worried the puppy may get picked up by the pound or something.

"When I'm done helping you... I'll go and try to find my mommy!" Excitement enters my voice and I set the puppy down nearby the bike. "I hope you don't mind but I really need to find my mother, she may be near by! Gotta go~ Bye-bye~." Then I run off to see if I can find my mommy.
((sorry about just leaving, I just thought that would be in her character... Sorry again))

Mercy shakes her head and decides to follow the kitty-girl. She will need protection, and Mercy knows from experience it will be awhile before she can change back. One of the side effects of changing involuntarily. She looks at her bike, pees on the tire (I hate instinct) before trailing after the little girl.
