Saoirse awoke with a startled yelp and immediately reverted to her human form  then shook him off of her and pushed him away. She stood up and took a few steps back, she felt the back of her neck where Dorian clawed at her, the wet, hot feeling of blood coated her hand in crimson. She looked at Dorian with a look of pure terror, taking a few more steps back, then ran. As to where she was running, not even she was too sure. But she didn't care as long as it was far, far away from Dorian.

While she ran, Saoirse pulled out her phone and called Maxwell. She didn't speak with him directly but instead left him a voicemail, "Hey, Maxwell. It's me, Saoirse. Dorian's back. He's in an ally near Main Street. I won't be coming back to the manor. Probably ever. Tell Dorian that he won't have to worry about me being on the list anymore. I'll be fine on my own. Tell him I said 'welcome back' and that I lo-" the voice message cuts off.

Saoirse kept running, running as fast as she could. Once out of the ever watching eyes of the city and into the woods where she could hide, Saoirse finally changed to her wolf form. During the hasty transformation, however, her clothes came off. Yet she dared not go back for them, fearing that Dorian might be behind her. 

She eventually found what seemed to be an abandoned burrow that was large enough for her to stay in for the night while she healed. Saoirse changed to her human form while she sat in the burrow and felt the back of her neck again, which was still sticky with blood. She decided to stay in the burrow, where she would be safe and hidden.

Saoirse curled up into a ball on the ground. Her naked body trembled uncontrollably from the cold and her wet hair was plastered to her skin. Yet somehow she found herself dozing off to sleep once more as she listened to the soothing sounds of rainfall.
