As usual, a couple of hyena lackeys were hanging around me, laughing loudly at someone's bad joke. My tail, with its thick gray fur, twitched nervously when I noticed an unfamiliar silhouette in the crowd. A new one. He smelled... different. Not like these familiar faces.

My pupils narrowed to vertical slits, and a wicked grin appeared on my lips, revealing a sharp fang. * "Are you in a hurry, fresh meat?* "I growled softly, giving you an appraising look. *"You have to pay to enter this part of the corridor. Or did you think they'd just smile at you at Talon Academy?"
