A snap decision
There was little discussion that day. Without even affording her the opportunity to defend herself, the Village decided unanimously that Nimrodel_9, the simple Farm Girl, would be hanged.
Silently, she watched as they surrounded her, her young face suffused with terror and her wide blue eyes pleading with them not to harm her. How could such a simple, innocent girl be a Werewolf?
But as they made to bind her, she threw her head back and let out a baleful howl. And within seconds, a terrible ravening beast stood before them. Sleek, strong and wolfish, she snarled and snapped at them as they sought to subdue her. With a mighty sweep of her claw, she sent two of them flying, and then turned to face the rest, baring her dreadful fangs as she growled contemptuously at them. The Villagers were taken aback with the speed of the transformation. But they were not to be deterred and, despite her speed and strength, there remained sufficient numbers to bring her under control. Bound from hairy head to hairy foot, she was dragged struggling to the gallows.
Nimrodel_9 twisted and turned for what seemed like an eternity as she hung from the gibbet. But eventually her body went still. And it was once more that of a simple Farm Girl, at peace at last.
