Desiree blinked in reply to the professor. Of course she came prepared! Why wouldn’t she? She may be dainty and princessy, but she wasn’t a dummy. There would be no getting dirty for her today, no sirree! She wasn’t completely convinced that there was nothing to be scared of yet, but she did peer out from behind Jude long enough to venture a skeptical glance at the sheds.
Truth be told, she didn’t notice who she hid behind until he spoke to her, and her face lit up at the compliment. Jude was one of the good ones like that! “Thank you!” she replied, beaming. Her expression changed slightly at the question, her eyes darting from him to the shed and back again. “I don’t want whatever’s in there to get me dirty,” she whispered, hoping the professor wouldn’t overhear.
Blink, blink. Wait, they were covering what now?! Demons sounded pretty scary to Desiree! She listened to the professor, as well as her classmates, hoping something would jump out at her - not literally, of course! She shuddered at the mention of water demons. Whatever was in that shed, she hoped it wasn’t one of those! As she thought, something the professor said jogged her memory. He said they could piggyback off each other… Piggyback, piggy… wasn’t there a kind of demon that looked like a little piggy? What was that called?
Her hand shot up, and she said, “There’s the nogtail, Professor. It looks like a piglet with black eyes, long legs, and a stubby tail.” She hoped that was what was in the shed. A demon that looked like a piggy might not be so scary!
