It's not everyday that Rainey is caught off guard, but, today of all days, she was. For the most part, she was having a pretty shitty day and the only good thing that happened to her was the fact that she finished up her board meetings earlier. Now all she had to do today was buy a few supplies for dinner and be on her merry way.
Rainey wasn't the one to take the back roads, probably because most stories usually talk about people getting mugged at them. Nonetheless, she wanted to make take, and the quickest way to get to the store and back was, in fact, the back roads.

Before the blonde could even get to the next street, something--or someone--moved. It's probably just another cat, Rainey thought as she quickened her pace, it's nothing to worry yourself over. She was definitely on edge, but she wasn't about to let her nerve get the best of her. Besides, she could defend herself, so what was she so afraid of? That answer, actually, would be dogs.
