Meria was so fast I barely followed her. Within thirty seconds of her first attack, the young demon she fought lay prone on the floor, groaning, while she grinned at me, amber eyes flaring with new power, as if this whole thing was really funny.
I wished I could agree with her.
My heart clenched as she absently strode over her fallen attacker as though he wasn't worth further notice, an arrogant tilt to her head, shoulders back so far I thought she'd crack in half.
"This is too easy," Sassy muttered as we followed her. "You're winning far too quickly for a pair of amateurs."
Meira turned and glared at him, just outside my door. "I kicked his ass!"
My demon agreed with her one hundred percent, but Sassy just swatted at her on the way by, muttering to himself.
