"Kill them!" the villagers cried, caught up in the bloodlust of a double lynching. "Don't let the filthy beasts live a second longer!"

"So, who shall we get rid of first?" they asked themselves.

"Ladies first," Glirdan said nastily to Azaelia.

"I am innocent," she said, holding her head high.

"Innocent until proven guilty," the villagers said as she was led up to the gallows. "And the only way to prove it is right up here."

"Don't forget the flowers," Azaelia whispered just before the floor dropped out. The villagers winced as they heard the sound of her neck snapping. She had been as innocent as she had claimed all along.

"Cut her down quickly! If she wasn't a werecreature, he must be!" But where Glirdan had once stood was now an enormous bear. The villagers screamed and backed away as he growled at them. Words were just discernible in his snarls: "You can't kill me! Just go ahead and try!" The villagers thought it was certain death; the creature was huge and could easily maul them or take their heads off with a single swipe of a massive paw.

"Get out of the way!" Folwren the blacksmith cried, throwing a knife he had crafted. It stuck in the Beorning's shoulder; the creature bellowed but was far from defeated. "Take these!" Folwren shouted to the villagers, distributing weapons of his own making. Blades flashed as they were embedded in the bear's flesh. But all the attacking simply seemed to stir him to greater wrath. Several villagers were tossed aside like rag dolls or slashed by his claws. Finally, though, someone got a lucky shot and threw a blade directly into the Beorning's forehead, and he went down.

The villagers were shaken, and in some cases slightly injured, but still alive. "I've got azaeleas in my garden," said Kath quietly.
