Little Wolf

Thomas Hewitt, otherwise known as Leatherface by his family was disposing some of the leftovers that were unusable and worthless. He was dumping the last bits of the remains of some unlucky bastard that came across him and his family. As he dumped the rest of the remains he noticed how hot it was outside. No matter. He was used to the Texas heat. He was thankful that he had at least got to make a new mask of the latest victim's face. His new one was rather ratty and getting pretty gamy Hoytt had told him. He stopped for a brief moment to take a break. There was no real immediate need to hurry for the moment. That's when he heard a muffled cry.

Thomas cocked his head to the side curiously for a moment unsure of the sound he heard. Then he heard it again. It sounded like a baby, but there were no babies around here. Babies came from mamas not the thin air. He shrugged off the sound and turned to return to his family home when he heard the sound again. Most defiantly a baby. He followed the sound to its source and found an abandoned infant in a car sqalling its head off. Thomas undid the straps to the infant seat and removed the baby from its prison. It was a girl baby he supposed. He didn't know much about babies, but he did know they cried when they were hungry, upset, if they crapped t hemselves, and other reasons. The baby howled again in fear at the uncertain man thing that held it.

Thomas coo'ed to the baby and held it against him gently. The baby quit its crying and snuggled into the man's big chest content at the contact and very relieved to be out of the hot car. Thomas took the baby home with him. Maybe they'd let him keep her. Luda Mae, or Mama was getting too old to have anymore babies. But maybe his cousin who was young still could be this baby's mama. Yes, she could. Thomas had done a good thing and they'd be proud that he got a new member of the family. Then he thought of Hoytt. Hoytt didn't like babies much. They cried to much. Ate to much. Crapped to much. And was rightfully expensive to keep. And he didn't know nuthin' 'bout raisin' no baby.

Thomas ignored all of this and went to his family home his original plan was to hide the baby until he figured out what to do. It wasn't long before the family got wind of his little prize and wanted to take a look. Luda Mae was the loving grandmothery type and readily accepted the baby. Tea Lady just wanted to know if that she'd have to watch the little one while she was runnin' her tea shop. Thomas's cousin Frankie had fallen in love with the baby and for that Thomas was glad. Frankie could be nice at times but when she was angry, she was worse than Hoytt. He was scared of his cousin at times when she got angry. Grandpa said nothin' he rarely did if ever. Hoytt just looked at the baby and shook his head. "Nuther' mouth ta feed. Dammit boy what the hell were you thinking?" Hoytt asked irritated.

Thomas said nothing but handed the baby to his cousin who was holding out her arms expectedly. "Her names' gonna be Wolf. That's what we'll call her. And don't you dare complain Hewitt, she's mine." She growled at her Uncle. Hewitt merely snorted. "Fine. Just don't expect me to change no diapers none. And why you gotta call her Wolf? What is she a damned dog?" he asked. "COZ THAT'S WHAT IMA NAME HER!" Frankie shrieked forgetting the baby was in her arms for a moment. This set the baby crying which in turn got Thomas worked up to his shrieking. He almost always shrieked when excited or worked up. The baby stopped her shrieking and turned and looked at the big man that was now shrieking. She started to giggle. Thomas would have laughed had he taken notice but he was no blubbering because Hoytt had cuffed him upside his head.

"Oh, you gonna fit in right hun." Frankie coo'd at the baby who had fallen asleep in her arms.

10 years later

"Wolf get up! Yer Mama's been callin' you and I wouldn't set her off if I was you." Hoytt hollered. 10 year old Wolf groaned and got out of bed. It wasn't a school day so why was mama getting her up? With a moan she got out of bed and dressed. She knew better not to upset mama. Cousin Thomas had upset her not to long ago and she had went after him like a rabid mountain lion deprived of its meal. She trotted outside past Cousin Thomas's killin' shed and saw that he was finishing up with one of the victims. She waved a hello to her overgrown cousin and he smiled beneath his mask and waved back. Yes. She sure loved her overgrown cousin. Wolf ran around back to where her mama was waiting for her. "Mornin' mama." Wolf smiled. Frankie looked at her adopted daughter. "Mornin' baby." She smiled back. "I need you to go the the Tea Lady and give her this package. And don't you dare smoke none o' that weed. I don't need you comin' home smellin like that crazy shit." She called after her daughter as she ran off.

Wolf grinned. As she raced off to deliver her package she saw someone laying on the side of the road. She put down the package and came towards the sleeping figure cautiously. She fingered the knife she always carried with her and figured that she could cut this poor sap up and hide the body for later. When she was done with the Tea Lady she'd let Thomas know what she found. Maybe he'd let her help make him into stew. But she knew if she'd kill him now then he'd fester in the heat. Fester and rot and get all kinds of nasty things going inside of him. No, when you killed someone you had to use up the body real quick. That way they wound't get to stinkin' and rottin' and you wouldn't spend several days and nights pukin' up dinner. That's what Hoytt told her. Something told her the man would be asleep for a long time due to the amount of alchahol he had consumed. Wolf delivered her package to the Tea Lady and raced home as fast as she could and told Thomas about the man sleeping there. Thomas and her went to go out and get the man who was indeed still asleep where he was before. They tied the man up and took him home into the killin' shack. Thomas put him on a meat hook making sure his arms and legs were tied. He handed Wolf a filleting knife and Wolf made the first long incision. The man woke up and began to scream as his intestines were being removed from his body
