"Stealth??" Chel could not see the dice very well in the dark, other than she was noticeably limping. Stealth growled faintly, setting her jaw to fight back the pain. Then she made a dash for it, bounding out in front of the remaining car, past Chel and back down the alley without a word spoken.
"Hey!" Chel had intended to follow Stealth and hope the people in the car wouldn't say anything. "Are you okay?? What was that?!" The man driving had rolled his window halfway down and suddenly, Chel remembered that she was only wearing a nightgown.
'Arrgh!' she mentally screamed, her face immediately flushing red. Drift was standing at her feet and Fly had just stupidly crossed the road UNDER the car. Keeping them from being seen was not an easy chore. "I'm fine!" Chel blurted nervously, "Uhhh,… dog's got out! Are you okay?"
"Yeah,…" The driver nodded. He was squinting in the dark trying to get a better look at Fly and Drift. "Do you need any help?"
"No,…" Chel glanced back down the alley. She didn't see Stealth anywhere, so maybe she wasn't really hurt. Stealth wasn't a normal animal. It would probably take more than getting hit by a car to take her down. "I think she ran back."
