Re: Dustin/George Lass
"Demobat?" George asked. "Do mean a demon bat? What even is that?"
She crouched to examine the dead demon-bat. It was huge. Way bigger than most bats, though she thought there might be one or two species that got this big. Or almost, anyhow. But they ate fruit, or maybe insects. Vampire bats had sharp teeth, but they were tiny things compared to this, and they just made little cuts in your skin and licked at the blood. You learned a lot of esoterica watching nature shows at 3 a.m.
She stood up again, scanning the sky. "Are there more of them? And what's the Upside Down?"
Dustin noticed the blood on her neck, and her shoulder. George reached up to wipe the blood from her skin. In the heat of the moment she couldn't remember if she'd told him she was Grim Reaper back in Wonderland. This didn't seem like a good time to get into it. "I'm fine," she said. "I heal fast."
She scowled at the bat and kicked its corpse. "Still hurts to get bit, though. Fucker."
