A hive felt right between the druid and the girls. Rhokar stepped back. His eyes flashed green, while the bees were flying out from their nest. They turned right to the intruders.

"Oh, Darkness, run!" Athanasia screamed and ran away, still holding the book. Kajira followed her lead, forgetting about her own broom and dress.

"Bees?! No! Not the bees! Not the bees!" howled Livonna and turned around, but since she was too close to ruined hive, she couldn't escape the wrath of its inhabitants. She ran for her life, jumping and bawling, when angry bees were stinging her. They easily reached her vulnerable buttocks, which were still furless, and stung poor she-werewolf without any mercy. With a loud screaming and howling all three girls ran out from the cave and disappeared in the night shadows.

Rhokar heard a loud splash, which could mean only one thing - the bees chased Livonna right in the river. The druid shook his head and returned to his lair.
