AN: I formally apologize for all these short posts lately. I'll try to make it up when I am
able.

"So, can some of us get out of here? I'm feeling much better." Called out Ashley, if Anne
really was pregnant then she didn't want her working.
"Not a chance." Fran said instantly, Joy and Ingrid's awake heads nodded at once, "You lot
are not going anywhere for a long while until bones heal and tendons heal. So Tad, if any
of these lot try to be a hero and escape, I know there are some things I can barrow out of
the closet in Zack's closet to tie them down."
Zack, June, Hope, and Grace all blushed.
Isabelle had to ask, "What's in Gamma-Zack's closet?"
"I always knew they were kinky..." Nicole commented simply.
Michelle meanwhile was going to make sure herself anyone trying to let themselves out of
the medical wing early had a strange string of bad luck when trying to get out.
"Alright, I promise." Tad said, "You're the doctor..."
"Actually," Fran started but stopped herself, "Alright, good boy."
"This sure isn't like the movies where everyone heals up in two to three days after having
all their bones broken..." Millie said not looking up from her book. Her half-sisters had let
her be for the time being after being too tired to hang out with her.
"Welcome to reality kiddo." Zack said to the young orange/white wolf lass.
Wolf Megan and Lioness Megan were playing cards resigned that magic wasn't about to
make them all healthy again with the wiggle of a nose.

The little white boy cub didn't like this game anymore. The nice ladies had given him what
they called a 'magic wishing rock' and said all he had to do was say 'I wish my parents
were like me' and they be with him forever and ever and always be his friends and not
shout at him for misbehaving and he wouldn't have to see disease take any more siblings.
At first it had been fun, his new brother and sister never got tired of playing with him, the
first few days had been fun, very fun. But then food began to run low, and the young cub
realized his brother and sister were no better at hunting than he was...
He had finally tried to use the wishing rock to make everything alright again, but nothing
had happened and nothing had worked. Finally the three had wandered out looking for
food, had gotten lost, and now were crying. The little male white leoman cub cried most of
all, for he now realized the heavy weight his parents had always carried for his sake, and
now they were gone, he had wished them away, and his new brother and sister had only
him to be looked after, and he couldn't help them.
That was when the oddly dressed humans found them.

"Where is Marie?" Father Gabriel asked.
The felman Inquisitor, and the Plague Doctor/Priest's contact between himself and the
council when he was not able to meet with them himself said simply, "She's being taught a
lesson in being an impulsive child who kills heathens who were supposed to be taken alive
for interrogation. Don't worry Father, this is barely even undercover. A small circle of
child molesters need to be caught and arrested. But only the fear of catching the plague
will have them let anyone in. The wretches shouldn't give you any trouble."
Father Gabriel sighed later as he put on his raven's mask and slipped on his black hat and
dark coat taking his cane.
The holy man considered many things to write as he felt his defective heart flutter. 'There's
nothing left that I haven't already tried to teach her.'
Finally he wrote down,
'Marie, God's universe is one based on truth, remember that if nothing else.'
He remembered telling her that every time he went on a mission when she was small. But
she wasn't so small now.
"Has it really been only eleven years?" He said to himself. "I'm sorry I won't be there in the
flesh when you turn eighteen Marie... I'd share one last christmas with you if I could. ... But
not everything in life is fair. Vatican, take care of her."
The Plague Doctor who had haunted the streets of Europe for decades now walked out of
his church for the final time, knowing he would only walk into it one more time.

Gillie woke up, hoping it had all been a dream, only to find she was still a naked lion
woman, and now was in a bed more in scale to her new size and in a bedroom also scaled
to her size.
She had dreamed of being a mundane lion cub being cased by little boys in party masks
wielding wiffle bats.
"I don't see why some Lupman chose to leave the estate on account of it being too
crowded," The giant white lioness commented, "There's room for twice the current number
here."
"Don't look at me Marilyn." Said the copper lion man with a brass mane, "I just stopped
being a tea pot for over sixty years..."
"I know dear, and I am happy to have you back, and please, it's Mother Glen now."
"It's going to take time to get used to that you know..."
She licked him, "I can wait dear..."
"Uuuuuugh," Gillie groaned.
"Gillie dear! You're awake!" Gillian II hugged her. "I'm sorry that you got so overwhelmed."
Gillie however was looking at the giant white female lion in the bedroom. "Are you..." She
knew she was going to sound insane but she had to ask now, "Are you my grandmother?"
"Sorry for not telling you before dear..."
Gillie was shocked silent. She hadn't KNOWN her grandmother in this timeline? And she
had been alive and well-?! The Hell?!
She forgot all about asking sublime questions to figure out if the game had stolen three-
forth of her cultural heritage from her or not and instead asked, "WHY? Why didn't you tell
me?! You think I liked never knowing one of my grandmothers?"

Judas knew he was no preacher, he also knew most of what he said went over the vast
majority of other cat's heads. And he knew his elder brother and younger brother both
thought he was a heretic and a traitor for teaching about 'the human's god who lives in a
book' over Bast who the humans called Bastet.
But still, cats were nothing if not curious, and a tiny handful still came, and he told them
what he would. And some would listen, some would not.
Of course, the fact Judas wasn't neutered like the vast majority of males in Glendale likely
had something else to do with the majority of his attendees being female....
