(I have to apologize fr these small parts and having them be so far apart from each other.
I've been suffering writer's block I think.)
Serenity's unused turn, unable to be used, was a part of the curse. And that meant that it
knew about Madam Serenity and her actions now that the curse had reached critical mass
and had become truly aware of it's own existence across all it's subparts and had gained a
full spectrum of emotions.
And that meant, even as it thought about how to proceed, it sensed everything Serenity
considered, and the Pack and damaged she-wolves planned. And sensing the comments
about Ashley, Megan and Margot playing the 'for the great good of the pack' card, the
curse sensed that it too had to proceed along that same line. Before the curse was not
aware enough, before it was a mindless aimless force of sadism. Now however it knew and
was aware. And now shifted it's gears from causing misery, to ensuring it's own survival to
spread human suffering another day.
Human, pst! It had had such high hopes for the pack. Slavery was always such a beautiful
source of misery. But the wolves weren't in the least bit miserable about it! If it was the
mindless eagerness to have sex with their master as all the harems before it it wouldn't be
so bad. Mindless lust was a tangy but very tasty dish.
But these wolves were becoming increasingly horrid tasting! It was time to put them back
on track!
And the pride, it had had such high hopes for it! Not only for the coming conflict between
Gill and the officers who accepted the existence of the curse, but the instinctual polygamy
tearing Felicity and Brian apart and Mary suffering in horror as she watched! Not to
mention the tasty meat of war, something the curse had only on a few rare occasion
tasted, but had been so delicious each time! A war between the pack and the pride would
have been absolutely delicious.
But Felicity was by the very thing the curse had given her was quickly becoming relaxed to
the idea, and Mary was already figuring that if the pride found happiness then it
undermined everything the curse desired, WHICH IT DID! As for Gill and his officers, well,
that was it's last hope in that department.
And of course.... with Ashley, Margot, and Megan, and with Abbey's assistance, planning to
simply march back into the manor, and waiting till there was only nine others with Jensen
present, to put the shackles of civilized thinking back on the Big Bad Wolf... that beautiful
scrumptious war would never ever come... and the Curse itself would be DOOM!!! And
that meant no more misery spread by the game by petty short sighted people want to one
over another in an endless cycle.
The curse now that it was fully aware, knew about a similiar cycle on the internet where
humans told stories and each story teller tried their hardest to wrestle the direction of the
story in a completely different direction, often doing so by writing newer and stronger and
more powerful and smarter and more clear thinking (from the narrative's point of view)
every post to dominate the flow of the story. Sadly, the curse could not be spread via the
internet, most people on-line lacking the verbal connection to transfur the curse, not to
mention that the curse was limited to Glendale's limits give or take a few miles.
If it could make sure the war between the pack and the pride happen,it could have
everything it wanted, and the suffering and misery and bloodlust would be a
smorgasbord!! The three damaged wolves had to be nullified!
Sadly it could not effect the pride in any way that would lead them to putting the she
wolves under restraint and what not since Felicity and her family had forgiven the broken
wolves for their part in things. AGH! Forgiveness! What a meaningless thing! It never made
sense to the curse at all even now that it was aware! Forgiveness didn't change what
someone did, so it didn't do anything!!!
That left the pack. While it sickened the curse to no end that it would have to make
concessions that would leave it with a awful taste in it's mouth, it would have to slip under
the radar to effect the Alphas in he proper way that would nullify Margot and Megan!
Ashley currently didn't have a turn so her nullification as a threat could wait. But margot
and Megan had turns! And once the shackles were back on Jensen's mind... the rest of the
pack would be doomed to follow.
And while the curse knew it wouldn't be able to effect things outside of Glendale, at least
on the island it would be able to eat up the hardships of the wolves suffering without the
modern conveniences that had grown used to and having to suffer greetly as they
struggled to support their population, and the curse wondered how long after the pack's
baby boom that the island would simply become too small to support the pack itself
forcing the wolves to return to Glendale or somewhere else, inspiring another conflict with
humanity that was sure to be nice, fearful and violent. Tasty.
Yes! Megan and Margot had to be eliminated as threats. Before they could enact their
scheme that would set in motion the complete ruination of everything that curse had
done. After three hundred and ten years, the curse would NOT be stopped by the turns
used by two generic cookie cutter spiteful teenagers in the scope of a week!!!
Ulysses and Sarah were still salvagable, but Amy... she had become too much like a
cancer... she had to be ambutated.

"It's a pity we had to lose the statues." The dark brown Isabelle commented. "You know
how much Alpha Female loved them."
"Yes.. now that I think about it." Grace admitted, "It is a pity, but Master wanted the
powers of the new pups tested and there was no point in sending the pups to the gallery
if it was for nothing."
Hope and Isabelle nodded.
"Still," Isabelle said, "You think we could get some replacements for them?"
Hope wondered, "It would make Alpha Female happy. And that would make Master happy."
Isabelle and Grace nodded.
Hope thought pragmatically, "Still, with everything going on, we can't just go out and use
the game on some people and lose the turns and reduce them to art for Alpha Female."
Kaylee's three recolored replicas sighed.
"We should speak with Master about it." Hope got the thought.
"Right now? During all this?" Grace replied.
"Yes during all this, Alpha Female is going to be very upset about losing her video
games... so imagine how happy she'll be, and how happy Master will be, if she can get
some replacements before we've evacuated."
Grace and Isabelle nodded at the idea. "So let's go speak to Master then." Grace said.

"The one thing about being a kid that's not cool?" Jenny said as she and the other pups
were in a circle with Mr. P and Martha close by, both of Martha's heads looking in different
directions. They were in the pup's bedroom.
"What?" Bart asked the black as night pup.
"I feel kinda helpless... like things are just blowin' over us! We gotta drop everything we
are and everything we do! Leaving only the grotesques and shadows here! We gotta
dumped our business and go campin' on an island for who knows how long!"
"I think it's gonna be kinda cool." Kevin protested.
"Yeah," Marcy nodded in agreement with her brother.
"And you are just pups." Martha's head said putting a paw on each of their heads with her
four arms, "You are the pack's future. You're too precious to endanger."
Jenny sighed, "But I wanna HELP mom and dad!"
"You'll help them most by keeping yourself and your younger siblings safe." Martha told
the nine year old sagely.
"Yes Miss Martha." Jenny breathed out.
"Is there room for one more?" Came Pearl's voice with june and Zackery behind her, in
front of her was her son politely knocking the door to which Martha carefully opened.
"Yes... of course there is." Martha nodded, "But... where's Amy?"
June said, "She said she needed to go outside and get some air... that was a little bit ago.
I'm worried."
Zackery said, "Zelipe, you stay here with Miss Martha and the other pups... I'm going to go
look for your sister."
"I'll come with you." June said.
"No, I want you and Pearl to be among the first to leave the manor after the pups."
"She's my daughter!" 'I know I'm loyal and love Master only because I'm brainwashed, I
know I only not dislike Zackery because I'm brainwashed, and I know I love my daughter
only because of her transformation from Zackery's father into my baby but... THEY'RE REAL
TO NOW ME DAMMIT!!' "I'm not leaving with her, end of story."
"... alright." Zackery hugged Pearl, "You stay near Zelipe, yes?"
"Yes dear." Pearl hugged back.
"Let's go sniff out Amy." June said.
"Where are Alice, Abbey and Samantha?" Marcy had to ask.
"They're helping move everything to the island," Martha's heads said, "All three of them are
helping the way they can."
Jenny said, "Don't worry 'bout them sis', they're indestructible."
"Right." Marcy nodded.
"Let's go sniff out our daughter." June said to Zackery.
"Allow me." The charcoal black big bad wolf answered.

The gallery wolves weren't sure what to do with themselves, all they knew was that they
were Big Bad Wolves and that they loved and served their Master, nothing else mattered.
They had been told to help in evacuating the house, and had proceeded to do just that. It
had been clumsy going as the twelve of them quickly elected to stay together for the
moment. Betty chose to take the lead. She asked about her nephew, not having a clue how
she could have possibly known about Lawrence being part of the pack already, but was
disappointed to learn he had already relocated to the island.
"HEY YOU! You yes you! You two! The two carrying the pink fur so well!"
Rose and Kimberly turned to see another pink wolf, pink as the hair of an anime character,
flanked by a similar japanese cartoon character hair color orange and white, and a
magenta she wolf. Kimberly giggled at seeing the tiny heart mark on the orange one.
"Yes? And you would all be?" Rose ask politely and calmly as a fine and proper lady
should.
"Howdy sistah!" The magenta one waved, "I'm all Robyn, this here cutie is Millie, and dis
fine lookin' lady in pink all like yerselves is Maxine!"
"Uh, hi." Millie waved politely in turn.
"A nice to see a couple more pink she wolves in the pack!" Maxine greeted, "So you girls
new? Of course yer new cause I ain't seen ya!"
"My name is Rose. This is Kimberly, I and the rest of us were up until today part of
Glendale's art gallery... we were rescued by Little Miss Amy and Young Sir Zelipe..."
"Well welcome ya all to da pack!" Maxine cheered, "Sorry ya gotta join atta time like this,
but hey! Glade to meetcha!"
Betty interrupted, "We were instructed to aid in the evacuation, which seems so far to be
moving a lot of stuff into mirrors, can you help us find a task?"
Robyn snapped her fingers, "No problem! Just you wait and see!"

"I should go..." Lawrence said suddenly out of the blue, sounding like he was repeating a
line from a script.
Carnelian started, "Don't be absurd you just got here!"
"I have to go."
"No you don't!"
"I have to go!"
"Master ordered that we look after you and that's that!"
Lawrence began walking, ignoring his dislocated shoulder.
"You're male! That means you obey whatever one of us females tell you! ANd I tell you to
stay!"
Lawrence halted. Then he began to move, but kept stopping. His muscles seeming to be
wanting to do two things at once. For some reason Carnelian thought of a robot trying to
defy the Three Laws through sheer will power.
Of course, if Lawrence knew his auntie was there he could ague she wanted to meet with
him, and that was something she wanted and thus he'd be obeying her. But he had no way
to know she was there yet... So it was knowledge he couldn't even have and thus couldn't
even use! But still something was pushing him! He needed to be somewhere at a precise
time for something important!
Lawrence felt like he was going mad... Carnelian jumped on top of him, pain zapping into
his brain. "OUCH!" Lawrence shook his head, "Eh? What?"

Alexandra with Nicole leading along Nick by his wolfhood turned their heads when they
saw Roger (still with one eye closed and bloody) getting up from where he was resting in
the co-ed den and walking out, "I have to go."
"Okay go." Nick said, figuring Roger wanted to use the bathroom one last time before they
had to switch to banna leaves.
