[Valier]

"Oh lovely!! Right there! Oooohhh my aching feet! Thank you dear for coming over so late and tending to my old achy feet."
"Oh but that is what a Pediotrist does my Dear and you are o'so generous with your ale"

The two hobbit ladies sat talking joyously into the night. One massaged the feet of the other and they both drank the ale. As Naria rose to fetch more ale, a sound could be heard from outside the window.

"Valier dear did you hear that?"
"That noise just now? Yes I heard it."

Both women now standing,strained their ears to listen....
"Meow! Meow! Meow!" they suddenly hear from outside.

"I think it is a dear kitten, perhaps looking for a meal."
"Well Naria, shall we go and fetch it and fill its little belly?"
"We shall!" said the Pediotrist.

Linked arm and arm, so as not to wobble both women stepped out into the night.

"It sounds like it's coming from those hedges over there, Valier my dear."
"I concure Naria my friend."
"Here kitty, Kitty...........I don't see it! You go and fetch some of your good cream Valier and we shall lure it out."

As Valier leaned inside her icebox, she heard the distinct sounds of a kitten behind her. As she turned she saw a shadow of a cat projected onto the door by candle light.

"Awwww I see you little one. I have some nice fresh cream for you"....But as the shadow came closer, it grew bigger and bigger until it towered over the small woman.
Two screams simutaniously rang out into the night.

DAY 1 DAWNS

As the villagers awoke and stepped out into the sunlight they knew something was wrong. Valier was always one of the first venders to set up shop in the morning to sell her tomatoes. She was nowhere to be found.

"I say we make our way to her dwelling, I bet the old bat just fell and can't get up", said Sleepy

"I hope she's ok!" whispered Kath

"Yes! I hope she is ok too!" said Wilwarin

"Ah I am sure she is as right as rain." Said Mormegil. "She probably just slept in."

As the whole village approached her house they saw something horrifying on the ground outside Valiers house.There lay Naria the Pediotrist, she was as flat as a pancake. She had been trampled to death....or maybe danced upon to death?
As they entered the open door of Valier's hole, they found her also on the ground. She was covered from head to toe, with long thin scratchs.
A girggle of blood escaped her lips as she tried to say something with her last breath....."It was the Cats!" She uttered before she passed.

"Cats? What does she mean? Asked Eonwe
"Look here villagers a note!" said Garin as he picked a piece of paper off the ground.
It read in childlike script. It said.

We three are better than thee!
We want your town.
It shall be ours.
Get out, get out while you can!
Or we three shall kill thee one by one.
This is the Puuurrrfect village!
We shall have it even if you don't please!

Signed: The Three

"What ever shall we do? AskedRoa.
"We shall find these fends and set them right!" Declared Alcarillo


So the hunt begins for the Three, who want it all.
