The demon scam

"P.. Please don't eat me!" you gasp, hoping that even demons might show mercy sometimes.

The cat-like female blinks her eyes in slight surprise, flicking a furry ear. Then she starts laughing. "Don't fret, little one," she says, "You are way too sweet to be eaten - my teeth would rot."

She backs off a little to let you up, but she still has her eyes on you.

You dust yourself off, feeling slightly stupid.
