When last we saw our intrepid friends; Perry had sat down in an alley and 
after insulting Jody, demanded that she go get him something to eat.

Perry, Vamp-dog 
  
Chapter 11 

  
Jody landed on a nearby roof, and attempted to collect herself. She watched
Perry smugly enjoying himself in the alley below. She watched as the cats she
had been trying to warn everyone about slowly worked their way in to the 
alley, encircling Perry, and preparing for the kill. She remembered what Urs
had told her about these particular cats on the way back to the Raven. 
  
They were Tibetan Temple Cats. Screed considered them to be the Velociraptors
of the cat world. They were bred for size and mass to be used as guards in 
certain temples. By instinct and training they attacked in packs. One alone
is capable of taking down a human. In a pack, they were a formidable enemy. 
  
  
The leader led his pack in a circle around the strange dog. They had seen his
kind before and had learned to kill immediately, any who came into their 
territory. 
  
Perry sensed the approaching pack. Well Jody HAD said that there were plenty
of cats in the area, perhaps dinner was going to come to him for once. He 
smiled to himself; maybe allowing Jody to bring him here had not been such a
bad idea.
 
A large Siamese looking cat showed itself, its followers slowly also coming
out of hiding. This was not right....They had somehow managed to encircle 
him, trapping him. If he had still been mortal he would be trapped. As it was
he was confused by the uncatlike behavior being shown to him. He let out a 
low warning growl, and allowed his eyes to change color and his canines to 
grow. The cats showed no emotions at this, the leader still coming towards 
him. This was not normal, something was wrong here. 

Perry decided to leave the area until he could figure out what was going on 
here. He took to the air, only to have two of the creatures jump on him from
above. The combination of their weight and the fact he had not know that they
were there was enough to bring him down. The leader of the pack immediately
attacked. His followers joining in. Before Perry knew what had hit him he was
dead. His throat chest and stomach areas were clawed open, his cervical 
cortex eaten, severing his head from the rest of the body. 
  
Jody watched the scene below her play out. ‘Well’ she thought to herself, 
‘This is what you get for not paying attention to warnings.’ She flew away, 
enjoying her new sense of freedom. Wondering what will happen to the cats now
that they had ingested Vampire blood and meat. 

Lacriox looked on in amusement. Whether Perry had believed or not, Humans 
were still superior to animals, even as carouches.
