Dusk could feel it pulling at her very soul. Like a great river rushing to meet with a mighty ocean, she could not resist that which called out to her and demanded her obedience. Nor did she want to. She only hoped she could hold out until daylight, and then she'd be safe.

Off in the distance she heard the loose pea gravel that covered this building’s roof grind together as one of them moved. They were surrounding her. Before long they would have her trapped, and then it would be too late. She wouldn't be able to make it back at all, like Hawx and some the others, if she didn't do something very soon.
