"Hush," Daine says as she grabs a few arrows. One goes between her teeth, the other goes on the string. Then she shuts her eyes tightly and thinks of Jasper and Stewart. Two large but delicate-looking bat ears sprout through her curls, and she turns to face the oncoming Coldfang, eyes still firmly shut.

The monster isn't even trying to be quiet. From its hissing, its claws scrabbling over the ground, and the rattle of its tail, she gets a clear enough picture of where it is and how quickly its moving.

The first arrow strikes its shoulder, and the Coldfang lets out a furious shriek, bearing down on her as she sets the second arrow to the string. Even without bat's ears, she could hear where to send her second arrow. She looses, and the Coldfang's scream is abruptly cut off. It collapses to the floor a few feet from where Daine is standing, the arrow tip protruding slightly from the back of its skull.

Daine shifts her ears back and opens her eyes, looking down at the Coldfang's body. "Well, there's that done," she says unsteadily. Then she turns away and leans against the wall, endeavoring to not be sick.
