The sphinx roared loudly at the guards, squeezing Felix even tighter. He was surprised to hear a lioness roar come from her human mouth.
The guards stopped, looking at the sphinx in surprise. They suddenly felt scared to fight her.
"Get away!" she shouted. Felix looked up at her, a bit surprised that she could talk.
The guards stepped back, unsure of what to do.
"He's mine! Mine only!" she shouted, roaring again. Felix's ears were hurt, but he didn't notice that so much. He was just worried about what she was planning to do with him. Did sphinxes eat people?
