The demon scam
Merle casts one fearfull look at the hyenas and then twirls around, rushing off in the other direction.
"Merle, stop!" you yell, but she doesn't listen to you. Cursing under your breath, you are about to run after her, but the first of the hyenas leap at you, and you are forced to defend yourself if you don't want to get killed.
Hoping for the best, you strike at it with your dagger. It sinks in, but the beast still knocks you over, it's sharp claws scraping your side. You wince with pain as another beast leaps at you, and you fight desperately, slashing it across the throat. You quickly push yourself up, ignoring the pain in your side, just in time to twirl around to kick at an hyena that is coming from the back. The demon yelp and twirls around, it's jaws closing around your arm. Just as you think all hope is lost, someone, or something leaps at the pack of hyenas, fighting them off.
(Please remember the letter M.)
