The sun hovers on the horizon as if loathe to leave the village to its fate. Silver (SilverDragon568) was ever dignified as she made her way into the town square to the improvised gallows set up there. Jupiter, her lykos, watches from the edge of the town square while a beautiful symurgh landed on the roof of the town hall. Silver walked up to the gallows of her own accord, and stood there looking sadly at the town.
"This will not bring you peace." She says softly.
Knowing that this could be a trick you look away, but your heart churns in your chest. What if she is right? What if you are killing another innocent.
Silver falls as the sun falls. Her motionless body glows in the twilight as the two beasts howl their sorrow to the rising moon. No one stays to listen, hastening towards their homes.
Day 3
The sun doesn't rise the next day, thick clouds have gathered on the horizon. A thunderstorm threatens. Dead and living alike race to the town square, dreading to see another name scratched out by the werewolf.
Clever and Jenna wince as they see their's are the only two names left. Silver's name is crossed out neatly in ink, but Jen's (Kittensrule321) name has been torn out so fiercely with a claw that it is unreadable. They look at one another, not wanting to see, but knowing they must.
They hover at the door of the house that Jen had made her own, each unwilling to take the first step. Clever reached out to open the door. It swung open with the merest touch. Jenna retched at the smell of blood which wafted into the cool morning air. Thunder rumbled ominously. The house was stained red by splashes of blood, and right there, at the door was Jen's body, collapsed in the act of reaching for the door. Huge gashes covered her back.
Jenna and Clever looked at one another, one of them was the werewolf but who? The dead might be able to keep the peace during the day, but who did they think was guilty?
