This choice: They take her to the town hall, a feast laid out for the town's "guest". • Go Back...Chapter #11The New Porker in Town by: Wuff Fox   Maria continued to squirm and kick as the pigs brought her through the town, protesting while the denizens walking through the streets stopped to look at their new 'guest'. Most of the residents seemed to be porcine, but there were a few other races amongst them as well. Maria couldn't help but notice that all of them were plump and well-fed with no exception. How could such a small town yield enough crops not only to feed but over-feed every single citizen? Maria begged the townsfolk to help her, but most only laughed, sneered, or snorted at her in return.
Soon enough Maria's captors stopped at their destination, the pig man holding her having set her down before him and turned her to face the building ahead of them. Before the vixen stood a large wooden building, its size and big, wide doors reminding her of a barn. Two of the pigs (Hal and Chuck if Maria's memory was correct) opened the large doors as the tusky pig pushed her forward into the spacious building. Inside she saw the building was even larger than she had at first thought, the room inside stretching far ahead of her, a table almost just as long running the length of the room.
There were many pig men and women sitting on each side of the long table, but what frightened her most was what lay on top of it. When the pigs had mentioned that an entire feast was waiting for her, she didn't expect anything nearly this massive: The entire table was overflowing with foods of all kind, so much so that Maria couldn't even make out its surface.
The assembled crowd of swine all oinked and jeered and snorted uproariously as Maria was shoved into the dining hall towards an empty chair at the head of the table. The pig with the tusks pulled a knife from his pocket, cutting Maria free of her restraints as the two other pigs escorting her grabbed her arms and sat her in the chair. The fox's anxiety wasn't eased at all by the fact that the seat was much too large for her already plump posterior.
As she was sat before the feast, the mob in the room grew quieter, watching and examining the vixen intensely before the pig Maria knew as Chuck stood before the audience.
'We regretfully inform all gathered 'ere that the feast will not go as planned,' He shouted, the seated crowd murmuring and mumbling amongst themselves, 'Unfortunately our other sacrifice, Annie, was eaten today'' Some gasped and even more murmuring was heard, but so was some soft chuckling as some of the pigs guessed what Chuck was going to say next, 'But fear not me friends an' neighbors, for even more unfortunately for this 'ere vixen, she was the one that ate 'er!'
The crowd cheered and laughed viciously as Maria sunk back into her chair, both guilt and fear filling her.
'And so, even though we have to start the feasting anew, I think we can all agree that this 'ere pretty shall please the Lipomancer even more! With that out of the way, let the feast begin!'
The crowd cheered in agreement, even a few hip-hip-hoorays were shouted as Maria felt all attention shifting back to her. The fox girl looked about nervously, expecting the crowd of diners to begin eating, but none of them did. She gulped
.
'Well' is anyone going to start'?' She asked meekly.
The mob of pigs immediately broke out into loud, spontaneous bouts of squealing laughter.
'Oh the poor lil' girl!' Shrieked a rather obese pig woman, wiping tears from her eyes, still chortling, 'She's serious!'
'You don't get it, do you?' The tusky pig said, grinning viciously as he grabbed the back of Maria's head, 'It's all for you!'
Maria looked about her, whimpering as the pig held her tight and the others laughed. This all seemed like such a horrible dream to her, but she knew it was all real. She figured she had only two options: She could either talk her way out of this, or fight them'
