"I'm scared," one of the Aphidian wolves whimpered. "Did you see what happened to Lommy? Those villagers are evil!"
"That's why we're killing Nerwen," xyr packmate said. "She's the scariest of the lot."
"Oh. Right. I forgot," the first wolf said.
But when they got to Nerwen's house, they realized they weren't alone.
"What are you doing here?"
"What are we doing here? What are you doing here?" asked one of the Ladybug Wolves.
"We're killing Nerwen!"
"Oh no you're not! We're killing Nerwen!"
"Oh no you're not," Nerwen agreed, and ran away.
"Now look what you've done!"
"Why is she attacking Sally?"
"I don't know, but somehow, I don't really mind."
"Noo!" wailed Sally. "Save me, my love!"
"I can not!" cried Shasta, kneeling beside her. "But I swear, by Day's end, I will have joined you in death.
"Why are they getting the spotlight?" Nerwen grumbled. "I'm the one getting wolf-killed here."
"Actually, we'd quite forgotten," an Aphidian admitted. "Thanks for reminding us!"
"...dang," Nerwen said. She tried to run again, but was too slow, and was caught and killed.
"Hmm," a Ladybug said. "Tasty enough, I suppose, but she pales in comparison to last Night's dinner."
"Trufax," an Aphidian agreed. "Too much running beforehand."
"Next time we mustn't let them run."
"Definitely."
"Hey, look! A cliff!" Morsul said, and jumped over it.
"What was that?" Shasta asked.
"He had to quit," Lottie said. "He can explain why if he wants to."
"Ah. Hey, wait - you're dead!"
"Oh, I'm just awesome. Don't try to understand."
"Okay."
