Familiar face — Description

A piercing howl tears through the streets, and Vi flinches.
She's been hearing it more and more these nights, along with the flurry of fearful whispers about a demon prowling.
Of course, she dismisses it, tucking her hands into her pockets to limp back home after winning her last bout.
But then she hears the gunshot, and a scream.
And she's running back the way's she come, scaling gutters, leaping from rooftop to rooftop. It can't be real, she knows it, but on the slim chance it could be...
She dives into a dark alley, and she can't believe it.
A clammy Caitlyn slumps against the wall, her hand clamped to her side. Blood seeps through her shirt, her jacket, and Vi swears.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
She rips Caitlyn's arm free of her coat sleeve, setting her down and pressing her own bandaged hand against the claw marks.
Caitlyn blinks.
"Fancy...seeing you here."
