It's a sad fate when the wrong rabbit is accused.
Their bodies are hung their in the tree, waving back and forth lifelessly as blood pools down on the ground below them. Drip after drip as the other rabbits merely stare without a care as to what they've done. The only care they carry is whether or not the accused was the right one.
Yet it can't be heard. The laughter from this rabbit hidden among the others. They laugh and laugh as they stare in contempt at the hung one, grinning from ear to ear at the act. As the others begin to feel safe, as if they've caught and killed the correct rabbit, the game is lost.
The wolf has attacked once more, and this time, everyone loses.

"Dead…" A sigh escaped her lips as she walked down the street, closing her phone and stuffing it into the pocket of her sweater. "Always kill off the quiet one first. Why do I even still play with these people?"
She knew the reason why she played with them and though said it in her mind, didn't ever say it out loud unless in the safety of her room. Thus, as such, she continued to play with the others. Always the first rabbit hung in "Rabbit Doubt". In a way, she supposed, it was to take out the weakest link first. Given the choice, she would have suspected herself first as well and thus taken herself out.
Another sigh of defeat escaped her mouth as she listened to the sound of her keychain rattled as she walked. Those who played the game usually had such a keychain. The accused and doubted white rabbit hung by a tree. Maybe not hung from a tree like in the story, but hung from her phone seemed good enough. She always made sure it hung out of her pocket so that those who played for the first time could know that there were indeed others who played. Still, she hadn't played with anyone new in what seemed to be ages.
Wanting to let out yet another sigh, she felt her phone vibrate before she had the chance to and took it out calmly as it was a mere text message. Were it important, the person would have called. Flipping the phone open she checked inside and clicked the message open to read inside. She stopped walking, for the main reason that the last time she tried checking a message on her phone while walking she ended up running into a tree.
Her gaze just stared at the message, her breath caught in her throat for a moment. She hadn't received a message as this in what seemed like ages. Looking from the text to the buttons, she hesitantly pressed a reply to it before closing the phone once again. Standing there for a moment she stared at the hung keychain on her phone, repeating the message in her mind.
Hello rabbit. The wolf is among us and I cannot stand alone in finding them. Will you join me?
She of course accepted the invitation to the game and now merely waited for a reply from the sender or for the game to start. Seeing no one in sight she skipped to her home, happy to start anew with people who hopefully wouldn't kill her off first like with the others. And as expected she received a reply from the sender. But to her surprised, she knew the sender. Sadly, she had forgotten she didn't do well in walking and checking her phone, thus hit a light post. Falling onto her back she winced in a bit of pain, her glasses haven been pushed into her face as she tasted metal and dirt.
The reply read:
Glad to know you'll be joining us. Wasn't fair what was happening to you in the game before with those guys so time to start over. I also hope you weren't walking while reading this since you said before you crash into things. Well, see you in the game Gin. :D

Staring up at the sky itself, phone clutched in her hand, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. "Wish she had put the crashing part first to avoid this." Rolling over on her side she pulled herself to her feet and headed home, eagerly awaiting the new game to begin. But even more eagerly she awaited the players. She awaited the wolf.
