The demon scam

You stay with Merle, closing her protectivly in your arms. She clings to you, scared but alright.

You glance back at the fight and notice that the creature that entered it seems to be able to handle itself pretty well.

Now you see that it actually isn't an 'it' at all, but a young female cat-demon with long black hair and fuzzy ears and a tail that whips about as she easily fights off the hyenas.

Soon enough, she has killed most of them, and the rest takes off, whimpering. The cat-demon straightens up and licks off the blood from her claws with a little smirk, her yellow eyes falling upon you.

(Please remember the letter Z.)
