More teeth than a passing glance never came, and her arm was never wrenched from its socket. The thing explored her like a curious cat, leaving her unpleasantly reminded of the time she'd been menaced by a particularly aggressive opossum.
Mortal terror began to be fettered more dramatically by confusion as things progressed and all her limbs were still intact and most of her blood was still in her body. She went sort of limp as he twisted her various limbs around curiously, trying to sort out what was happening. That didn't prevent her, however, from attempting to bolt again the split second its weight lifted from her back. She got about three inches before it caught her arm and began dragging her along behind it.
She managed to stumble to her feet rather than allow herself to be dragged over ground covered with dirt and broken glass. Alright, this was clearly some degree of intelligence, right? Even if it was like... ape-level intelligence, that was... something? People communicated with apes, right?
Apes horribly mauled people to death in terrifying ways all the time but still. STILL.
Almost as soon as she'd managed to pull herself onto her feet and walk a few steps, it was knocking her down again, and this time she automatically let out a loud, "OY, HEY!" in complaint. She flipped over to avoid being face-first on the ground again, and felt something like a hand around her ankle. Alarmed, she looked down; she could see both its hands, damnit. The answer was a foot. A weird foot, like a bird. Not quite a cloven hoof but still seriously alarming.
Its tail wrapped around her other leg, almost idly, as she watched it shred her hoodie and her last chance of any dignity in this situation, and she took in the scene.
It might be too dark for most to make out much detail, but she was managing. It was humanoid after a fashion, in musculature and an obvious caveman-in-a-barely-there-loincloth sort of way; but with taloned feet and clawed hands and huge batlike wings and horns and oh god were demons seriously real? This was terrible.
But a demon, you'd think, would be hot to the touch, and it was... if not cold, certainly not warm. She was more than a little frigid to the touch herself at the moment, having been thoroughly soaked in freezing rain, but its grip was like marble in more ways than one. If it didn't eat her, she'd probably freeze to death. Wouldn't that be the funniest way to go. Death by exposure: incidentally, a bat-demon with a cupcake fetish was involved.
She considered, briefly, trying to get her ankle out of its grip, but didn't even think the prospect worth reasonably considering. Instead, she turned her focus to the tail, which was snaking ever-further up her leg in coils. She gripped it around the tip, hoping to keep it from going any further upwards, if nothing else.
