"I'm bored. I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. I'm - "

"Annoying," growled the other wolf.

"I want to go home," whined the smaller wolf.

"Bradley," the older wolf groaned, "we can't go home. You know that."

Bradley pouted for a moment. Then: "But I'm bored. And tired. And hungry. And - "

"Well, we can do something about the hungry, can't we now?" The older wolf bared its teeth in a feral grin. "You stay here."

Bradley watched his older brother slip away into the Night. I can do anything Bartholomew can, he thought. Bradley trotted off in the opposite direction.

~~~

Over the course of that fateful Night, the lives of six villagers were forever changed, though they did not know it until the next Night. Under the faint glow of a cresent moon, they left their homes and joined their packmates in groups of three. They plotted all Night long:

~~~

"Why is it that everything happens under a full or cresent moon?"

"I know, right? New and half moons just aren't as creepy, for some reason."

"Well, at least it's not a full moon toNight. That would be so cliche."

~~~

"I think we should have a pack name."

"A what?"

"A pack name. You know, so the moddess can write narrations easier."

"Sucking up to the moddess, huh? I like it. So what should it be?"

"Team Werewolf?"

The others glared.

"Evidently not. Team Awesome?"

"Team Ladybug! ... what? They're the lions of the bug world."

"Fine. Team Ladybug it is."

"You know what would be funny? If another pack named itself Team Aphid."

"Don't be ridiculus. There are no other packs."

~~~

Meanwhile, the other pack was also naming itself.

"Team Aphid!"

"Smart. No one would expect it."

~~~

And so began the First Night.
