Melinda's eyes snapped towards the blurry figure, a giant sabertooth tiger, similar to Damien's other form. However, this tiger had dark fur and didn't carry the same chilly feeling as Damien's transformation.
The beast bit down on the Einherjer's throat, then tossed the bleeding, unconscious body away. She then charged towards a different group of attackers, and after knocking them out too, she appeared at Melinda's side.
Blood dripped from the large cat's teeth as its form began changing rapidly until a familiar dark-skinned beauty kneeled beside Melinda.
Kathy grinned down at Melinda, her arms wrapped around her shoulders. She helped her to a standing position, while a Valkyrie attempted to impale both women.
A shiver ran across Melinda's body. She tried calling out to Kathy to watch out, but her throat still hadn't fully healed. Melinda couldn't do anything but watch with helpless eyes as the Valkyrie's golden spear closed in.
