As she watched them on the hillside, Lula tried to set the Hales on fire with her eyes. “First the Hales, then the city,” she said.

“We can't kill them all,” Antoine said. “There's too many of them.”

Wild-eyed Lula's hand fell to the hilt of her cutlass, and her thumb pushed it out of its sheath an inch only to let it sink and rest again. She did this over and over. Then, as she took the first steps out of the wood line, towards the Hale camp, a queer, faint hum-buzzing beat filled the air. An enormous rainbow-skinned wasp flew down, floated in front of his sister's face, and blocked her path. “Molly's creature,” Antoine said.

When Lula moved to the side, the wasp blocked her path again. Then, as they watched, it flew to light head-high on a birch tree nearby where its jaws gnawed out a one word message in the bark – 'WAIT'.

“That ugly, little, witch-sped girl ran away before the Hales fell on us,” Lula said. “With the bear and the Populist. It's like she knew it would happen. And it was her plan that got Obin killed.”

“Are you saying she planned to abandon us to the Hales? Planned to get us killed? That's ridiculous.”

“Why is it ridiculous? We'd kill her to take back what was stolen from us wouldn't we?” Lula took her brother's silence for agreement.
