The beast reared back when attacked, its raven coloured blood splattering across the road in ridiculous amounts as it let out a bellow of pure fury and pain- the only two things this breed of demon ever understood and acted upon. It swayed for a minuet after lurching over and throwing up what seemed like more blood in long stringy strands before it fell hard on its side. The bullet had clearly puncture something in its thick neck because with its head pressed against the side walk and its double-jawed mouth wide open each rough breath could be heard and seen as its side rose and fell. Isabella knew the thing was far from done, although the shooter had made a good choice shooting it from afar she half wondered if they had enough mind to finish it off from the same distance. She assumed her position was hidden, as she could see the smoke but still was not fired at. She intended to keep it that way. She dare not move or take a loud breath still watching because something told her the beast was much to big to be taken down that easily.
And she was right, although that probably wasn't to her advantage. As the thing pushed itself up quicker then the attacker could respond or fire again it let out a shriek and bellowed in a random direction. First it headed for the building Shaine had perched himself on in clear intention to scale it, its jaws open and trailing but as it picked up another scent it changed direction without skidding to a stop. It only took Isabella a moment to realise what scent it had picked up but that moment was a deadly wait because as it placed both large front paws on the top of her shelter -crunching the top and shattering the windows, pressing the metal frame down- she only had time to straiten up and whip around. She was met with double faced open jaws, thousands of long tiny white teeth, and a long grey tongue as the thing shrieked at her. In that moment, Isabellas thoughts scrambled away and she snarled back, lashing out a clawed hand to swipe the thing across the snout before it could strike forward and sink those teeth into her whole form. The effect must have been one of more shock then pain itself because the thing scrambled back a step and shook its shaggy head. The demoness fluffed out both wings opening them to full size with no time to think about the pain and when the beast bellowed again she hissed back, standing her ground. It was a demon thing, any human watching would have thought her crazy to be standing down a creature four times her size and having a hissing contest with it, but Isabella was acting on that fiery demon inside rather then her mind. The thing roared again, its cries growing more scratched and scrangled with the wound through its neck and it lurched forward again to uphale more blood and Isabella hissed back once again. Maybe a thought passed behind its eyes, but it was highly unlikely as the thing whirled around and barrelled for the building Shaine had perched himself on, scaling it with raspy breaths and reared up to full height when it pulled itself over dispite the rifle that was probably waiting for it. It opened its jaws wide again at the sight of the soft human and ripped forward.
