No, we don't bite the officer! (Effigy)

Today had gone rather poorly for the young shapeshifter, first she had spent most of her morning, prowling for some action only to find nothing, then once she had given up, she'd run into a literal mugging. Only it wasn't the fun and easy kind, the mugger seemed like a normal person if it wasn't for the bone like claw that rested on his arm and prodded past his hand, almost like an extension only not. And the pointy end of said claw was aimed right at her.

But after that, her afternoon had gone smoothly, starting with a little old shift and ending with the meta running with his tail between his legs, and a hunting prehistoric Raptor hot on his tracks. The chase lasted a while, making the dinosaur partially excited for when she caught her prey who for his part was a rather quick bastard but like most he would tire, everyone did. Soon enough he would stop on a street near a complex of apartments and turn to his hunter, Causing Bella to come to a stop when her prey turned, seemed he was giving up on running and hoping to get lucky, she could tell from the fact that he was in a stance that benefited his claw. Getting low, Bella would wait a few small seconds before charging at him, he'd swing his claw like hand in which Bella would duck under once again, feeling just a pinch of pain in her side. Next to him, Bella's clawed hand would just reach his leg in which she would pull, causing the man to do a flip to the ground.

Spinning, Bella would walk towards her fallen prey and Plant a clawed foot on his claw arm, keeping him from using it as a weapon, she would place her other foot on his back and dig her claws in, causing him to yell in pain as she felt the flesh under his shirt slice under her claws. Giving a small call, like raptors would to call their pack she would begin to lower her jaw to her captured prey's head. Ignoring the crowd that seemed to have gathered to the commotion.

It is a little too late for Bell to realize what she was doing, but the scent of blood and the previous chase had given her a sort of urge to finish what she started just like a carnivore would have. But that's when she felt what could only be described as a smaller mass then it should have been hitting her cause for something so small it hit her hard, sending the ancient reptile flying off the prey it had caught and landing hard on the ground.

On her side, Bella tried to stand herself up but couldn't quite muster it, the shock of the attack left her a little bewildered so instead of trying to get up, Bella decided to rather shift back into her human form, the muscles under her scales rippling a little before seconds later a girl would appear where the raptor once was, wearing a flannel shirt with ripped jeans. Looking towards where she left the bad guy, Bella saw a man in a ape mask and she would have laughed if they were alone but currently a lot of people surrounded them so Bella simply stood herself up and with a few hops to loosen herself up, she'd begin running towards the guy. The guy in the ape mask must have been a partner to the person who tried to to rob her or something and with that in mind, she would get withen a few feet before instantly shifting into a gorilla. Still well, running on all fours she would get close before bringing her fist back and swinging at the now smaller man, if he could hit hard then he would be able to tank her enhanced strength from an already strong gorilla's fist, she hoped.
