Despite her newfound confidence with killing imps she had to admit to herself that she was still a novice and had been lucky and had help for her first few fights. Silently she crept backwards, not taking her eyes of the demon which seemed to be sniffing the air.
Her training with Hunter Grissom and Ysdella was proving to be very valuable now, her sandals barely making any noise in the dirt. Step after step she made her way back, she felt like she could hear her heart beating though, brave as she was earlier to come out alone.
She felt her heel catch on something on the ground though and stumbled a little. A small gasp of surprise left her.
Blast!
The demon stopped sniffing the ear and paused, she could just see the thing's ears twitch, clearly straining for whatever had made that noise. Before it turned around she broke off into a sprint across the street in the direction of the bakery. She was afraid to look back and dashed as fast as she could. She could feel the air rushing under her dress, across her pussy as her legs moved under her as fast as they could.
Katarina heard a snarl and heavy footfalls behind her, gaining on her. The demon was fast! But she was very close to the bakery door now.
Please let Eobard be done!
Her heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. She just made it to the steps that let to the Bakery's door and she leapt, clearing all three at once. Somehow she landed smoothly and she charged into the door, silently thanking herself for leaving it unlatched earlier in her haste. Her shoulder met the heavy wood, probably leaving a bruise but she wasn't thinking about something so trivial.
The door opened inwards with a rush of air and she turned quickly, spear raised in both hands and she backed into the shop facing the creature. The demon had just made it up the stairs and it had slowed down to a walk, claws outstretched and its tail loomed over its head like a scorpion's threatening to dark forward.
"Eobard! I need you out here right now!" She couldn't hear anything coming from the other room, they must be done. Help will be here soon.
The demon's tail darted straight towards her chest.
