As Saul snored, the skeletal hand grew into an arm. Then into a full body. It walked out of the den hunched backed and gave a distinct grinding noise.

Aaron was out with Grimes. He was following him to somewhere untold.

The two were in the deep and treacherous forest. Aaron shoved many branches out of the way. Grimes looked around to see if people were following him.

Something was wrong with this wolf. He seemed out of it. Finally, after several minutes, Grimes showed Aaron his place.

It was an abandoned warehouse. It looked like the same warehouse Aaron was kidnapped.

Grimes opened the door and saw many wolves working on televisions.

Aaron looked around the warehouse and saw that it was falling apart. He then looked at the wolves and saw that something wasn't right.

First thing he noticed was that a cub was working on a television. The second thing was that there was a wolf in a wheelchair.

"What are you guys doing here?" Aaron finally spoke up.

Grimes explained. "We're trying to find the thing that haunts everyone." His eyes twitched and he looked unstable.

"OH GOD! WHAT DID I DO?! I'M A KILLER!" Grimes exclaimed. Everyone looked at him as he had this outbreak.

"Should we help him?" Aaron asked the group. They looked and chuckled a bit.

"You're new here. Let me explain." The wolf in the wheelchair started.

"I'm Walter. You probably are wondering why I'm in a wheelchair. It's simple, a ladder fell on me. Now about Grimes…"

"Get back to work!" Emerson yelled. "We are rolling in ten minutes."

"Rolling what? Are you guys making a T.V. show?" Aaron asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Grimes told him. He then went to a box and pulled out a puppet. This wasn't a normal puppet.

Its head was made up of glass and had strings on its limbs. "This is our show. This is what we do. And the name… Candle cove."

Aaron kept staring at the marionette and wondered what went this wolf's mind.

Once Grimes turned around and went into another room, Walter spoke up.

"You have to help us….." Aaron saw this as a perfect opportunity to question everything about what was going on.

"Why is like this? Is he ok?"

"No. He's a looney, a maniac! We produce this show called Candle Cove as you heard, and broadcast it onto television. But the only problem is that our show is turned into static when it comes on."

"I have a son who watches it!" Aaron exclaimed. "He said something about the Skin-Taker?"

Everyone stopped dead on their tracks when they heard that name. The cub that was there started to cry uncontrollably.

"I didn't mean to make you cry…." Aaron said apologetically.

"It's not your fault. In here, that name means hell. And Grimes is the co-ruler of that hell."

"Janice here almost died from heatstroke because of this crazed maniac." A wolf pointed at the child who cried before. "Oh, my name is Michal if you were wondering."

Suddenly, Emerson Grimes came out of the room he was in and was smiling wickedly.

"I just finished talking to Percy here…" He held up the puppet to confirm it. "And we agree to change scripts."

"We just changed it a few days ago."

"This is better." He said a gravelly voice. "This one will make you scream in surprise."
