She had felt herself being pulled towards the red-eyed stranger. Each step towards this man felt heavy and forced. Inside Mirela was screaming at herself to stop and run away. The people passing by the alleyway don't even notice them at all. The closer she gets to the man, the more inhuman he looks. Did this man really come from The Commons? 

Every possible scenario rushes through her mind. Magic user trafficking? Or could it be someone placed a price for her head?

She didn't notice the faint footsteps close behind her but then a glass bottle breaks between her and the demon. It emits a blinding flash that breaks the concentration and frees Mirela (and also blinding her in the process). She feels a slight tug on her back and a woman rushing her to get out of the alleyway. 
Though it was just another stranger, it was someone who felt like they didn't mean any harm. Mirela stumbles but runs in the general direction where the woman is leading her. She glances back and although it was still blurry and bright, she doesn't see the demon there anymore. 

Once they reach a safe enough distance Mirela stops quickly to catch her breath and trying to get her eyes to focus.
