How could you?!

Sequel to Why??. Read it first or you won't understand anythinggggg

Dominick walked back inside, hearing a muffled, "Why??" from under the snow. He shook the melting snowflakes from his fur and curled up in bed.

Henrik woke up with a yawn, sliding out from under his quilt. "Hot cocoa for everyone~" he sang cheerily as he walked into the kitchen. The arctic wolf reached up and opened the kitchen drawers as he hummed happily to his favorite Jamaaliday tune. "A mug for me, a mug for Zara, a mug for Jason, a mug for Dominick, a mug for Liana, a mug for Flute, and a mug for Lilac," he said, pulling everyone's favorite mugs out and a flowery mug for Lilac.

Henrik opened the fridge. "Oh, freezing blizzards!" he muttered. "We've almost run out of milk! We only have enough for today's breakfast cocoa..." Henrik continued to heat up the milk cheerily, however, and pour it into the mugs that he scooped cocoa powder into. Plunking a candy cane into each mug for a hint of peppermint flavor and topping his mini masterpieces with whipped cream and marshmallows, he scooped up the hot cocoa and wandered into everyone's room, waking them with the hearty scent of chocolate.

As he reached the end of the bedroom hallway, where the guest bedroom was, he stopped. There was a sense of wrongness in the air, pricking up the fur on the back of his neck. Henrik eased open the door and called, "Hello? Lilac! Wakey wakey!"

No response.

"Lilac?"

No response.

"I brought you some hot chocolate!"

No response.

He walked into the living room, where the other animals sat, wrapped in their quilts and sipping hot cocoa. "Has anybody seen Lilac? I just checked her room, and she isn't there!" Liana gestured wildly with her paws. "I think she left the house last night. I heard the door open."

"There was a blizzard last night!" exclaimed Henrik. "Why would she just walk out? I think she's got cryophobia!" Liana shrugged helplessly, the pink fur on her shoulders raising under her quilt. Jason gasped, "Maybe someone took her!"

Flute saw the pinprick of guilt in Dominick's eyes as he gasped at the suggestion. She glared at him for a split-second. "Let's look outside for her," suggested Zara. The pack wandered outside, calling her name and looking around. Suddenly, Jason dug through a snowbank that looked slightly churned.

"LILAC!" The arctic fox's piercing cry ripped through the area as he stared, wide-eyed, at the dead bunny.

Henrik darted over, feeling queasy as he examined the body. Her mouth was slightly open. Beads of ice stuck to her cheeks. Snow froze itself to her white-and purple fur. He quickly nosed her.

She was far too cold to be alive.

Still, he shouted her name. "Lilac! Lilac, can you hear me? Please don't be dead!" Tears pricked in the corners of his eyes.

His new friend...

She looked so...

Lifeless.

Her eyes.

So dull.

Henrik stood.

"We will find who killed her, and rip them to pieces!" he snarled, a wild fury in his eyes as foam dripped from his savagely snapping jaws. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure slink back guiltily, and snapped his head around.

It was Dominick.

"You! How DARE you!" screamed Flute as Liana gestured swiftly.

''"SHE WAS MY FRIEND AND I LIKED HER AND I WAS GOING TO TEACH HER SIGN LANGUAGE SO I COULD TALK TO HER AND NOW SHE'S DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!" ''The wolf's pink paws were a blur as she signaled and gestured.

Wrath blazed in Jason's hateful glare as he turned his eyes towards Dominick. Zara growled ferociously.

Dominick turned and tried to bolt away.

And Henrik lunged.

Dominick howled in agony as the larger animal's weight crushed him to the ground. Henrik sank his fangs into the back of Dominick's neck, growling, "M a k e h i m s u f f e r." Zara bolted forwards, claws ripping through his stomach. She doubled back and Flute tore a paw off. Liana joined the fun with a gory bite to Dominick's ribcage. Dominick screamed and writhed, unable to escape the torture. Jason slashed the throat of the wolf. "M y t u r n." growled Henrik after everyone had their fun with the wolf.

Dominick fell to the ground after being dropped by Henrik. Suddenly, the arctic wolf grabbed his tail and slammed him back and forth like a ragdoll. After a good few minutes, he stopped and planted his paw on Dominick's forehead.

He pushed with all his strength and heard a sickening CRACK!

Dominick's vision blackened after agony flared through his head. He was dying rapidly, he knew.

Everything was getting so dark...

A ferocious roar cut through his thoughts as he drew his last breath.

"You killed Lilac!" snapped Henrik.

"HOW COULD YOU?!"
