Short story set on I believe an alien planet, but where humans co-exist with other life-forms. The main character, a sheriff or some such, enters a town and comes across a group of townspeople attacking a mysterious young woman. Spoilers inside, I guess?
Main character is horrified that the people are attacking this woman, rescues her and leaves her in a hotel room with a friend, but returns to find the friend killed by the woman. Turns out the woman is a kind of alien or monster or something who preys on people to survive; that's why the townspeople tried to kill her.
The short story may have a one-word title, the name of the woman.
I may have initially come across this story on MeFi!
