Who: Isabella and the muggles
When: Sunday, November 9 after this
Where: Hyde Park
What: Isabella runs into a spot of trouble


Isabella ran through the streets of London, making it all the way to Hyde Park before realizing she was dressed only in her dressing gown. Sliding her hand into her pocket, she cursed. No wand. She must have left it in Forbes’ flat. No wand. No money. Sitting down on the bench, she shivered, pulling her legs to her chest. What the hell was she supposed to do? Seeing a man walking down the path, she got to her feet, wincing at the cold as she approached him.

“Excuse me, sir.. I.. I was wondering if you might have anything to spare… my boyfriend, he kicked me out in just this… I’ll make it up to you,” she said, purring slightly and trying to use her changeling powers on him.

The man just raised an eyebrow and pulled out a badge.

“Inspector Wyatt, Miss. And you should know that solicitation on the streets is illegal. I am afraid I’ll need to take you in,” he said, reaching for her arm.

Isabella paled. Oh shit. Propositioning a plain clothes officer. Without thinking, she took off at a run towards the wooded area, hearing the police officer calling after her and running after her. Once she reached the cover of the wooded area, she morphed into her animal form, transforming into a sleek black panther. Swishing her tail, she listened carefully. Sirens. Fuck.

“I’ve got you now… Blimey! BACK UP! WE NEED BACKUP!” she heard the inspector yell.

“Black jaguar on the loose in Hyde Park. Evacuate all civilians. Get animal control or the zoo down here!”

She took off at a run as she heard the voices, skittering sideways when she heard the first gunshot. Bad idea. Very bad idea…

An hour passed with the police guns trained on her before she saw the zookeepers arrive with a large cage. She didn’t like the choices - cage or gunshots. The police were circling, closing in. She ran for an opening in their ranks and made a pained noise when she felt the dart prick her in the shoulder before her world went black.

“You’ll take it to the zoo then, yeah?”

“Of course, Inspector. Might as well let the people see a panther before we ship her back to Brazil. Find out who brought her here, will you. Seems to be a private pet, what with the coral collar and all..”
