This is the fourth chapter of the fourth Willimeena installment: 'Hell Hath No Fury'!

For the first time in her magically-extended life, Willimeena Weasel is in BIG trouble!

Mostly from her dad, about her actions during the game earlier.

I hope that you guys like it! 👍

In the dining hall, Willy's Wonderland, half an hour later ...

"ARABIA DAISY WILLIS, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!!!" Willy Weasel snapped angrily, trying to keep his temper in check.

The big animatronic weasel was frowning down at the confused Willimeena Weasel on the floor.

His robotic colleagues were in a circle around them, all with anxious expressions as they watched the hoo-hah.

The group had only got back from the 'gatecrashed' sports game, and were now in a sticky situation!

"I specifically told you to STAY in that office, Bia ... not to go wandering off!" Willy continued, taking a deep breath to try and calm down.

"You could have been killed! Again!"

The weasel pup then took a deep breath herself, ready to answer back.

Willimeena didn't understand why her daddy seemed so mad? She was only trying to save her family?

"I was worried about you, Daddy!" the weasel doll protested, in puzzlement. "Then I saw Uncle Arty get shot! I had to do something!"

"YOU COULD HAVE DIED, BIA!!"

Willimeena squeaked in fright, and backed away a little from her dad ... who instantly regretted the shout!

Self-loathing welled up in a huge wave in Willy's mind, as it started shouting how Jerry ... was exactly like his own horrible dad.

Seeing that both Willises were having trouble expressing themselves, Siren Sara and Tito Turtle immediately sprang to the rescue!

"Dulce angelito (Sweet little angel), listen to me", Tito murmured soothingly as he stepped forward. "Your dad is not mad at you, trust me."

The turtle robot glanced at his boss for permission ... and received a grateful nod from the weasel.

"He loves you dearly, chica ... and always will", Tito continued, as he looks down at his niece. "He just got very scared, that's all."

Willimeena frowned in confusion, cocking her head to one side.

"Scared?" she questioned. "Why is Daddy scared? He's not scared of anything!"

The weasel doll had always thought of her dad Jerry as someone who could take anything the world could throw at him ... and not flinch!

The animatronic turtle sighed deeply, and shook his head ... as he leaned down to stroke Willimeena's fur gently.

"Everyone's scared of something, Arabia", Tito whispered, softly. "Whether it's the lightning, strange people, whatever ... everyone has fears."

He then held up a single claw.

"Your dad is scared of only one thing: losing you, chica."

The weasel doll's eyes widened as her turtle uncle's raised claw then pointed straight at her!

"Think of it this way ... our robot bodies are very tough, can take more than several gun shots, and still be fine!"

Listening to Tito's reassuring explanation so far, Willy Weasel was pleasantly surprised and proud that the turtle was so good at this.

Tito's skills clearly went beyond ambushing, slaying people, and pickpocketing!

"Yours, on the other hand ..." the former thief continued, and then sighed again.

"Arabia, Willimeena Weasel may be a tough doll, but she is only a soft toy ... and a vulnerable one too!"

Said girl's eyes slowly turned downcast and remorseful, as realisation dawned on her face.

"One good shot could blow her to pieces, and where would you be then?"

It was Willimeena's turn to sigh now, as she nodded glumly.

"Oh ... I didn't think of that. I'm so sorry, Uncle Tito", she replied, with sincere regrets.

The aforementioned turtle merely smiled warmly, and scooped her up in a comforting hug.

"It's okay, pequeño (little one) ... we all make mistakes."

Meanwhile, Willy Weasel was on the end of a similar lecture from Siren Sara.

"Boss ... I know that you're very caring and very protective of Arabia. We all are!" the fairy began, with folded arms.

"But it's useful sometimes to see the other side of things", she added.

Siren Sara knew that both Willy and Willimeena were very stubborn ... passed from father to daughter.

"She grew extremely worried about you during the game, and wanted assurances that you were all right."

The big weasel thought for a while. Sara did have a point ... maybe he shouldn't have left Bia in the office alone after all?

"That's why Arabia left the office", the blue fairy explained. She subtly noted Willy's growing realisation with approval, and smiled.

"Arabia tried to defend Arty because he's one of her beloved uncles, her family!" Siren Sara finished, while glancing at the alligator.

She then turned back to Willy Weasel, raising an eyebrow.

"Didn't you tell me about her trying to rescue you from the police?" Her boss chuckled at the memory, with a fond smile.

"Yeah ... she wouldn't back down that today", Willy murmured. "What a girl! Chip off the old block!"

The big weasel exchanged a smile and nod of thanks with the blue fairy, and then turned back to his daughter.

"Bia?" Willy called gently, causing a nervous Willimeena to look at him. Tito Turtle smiled reassuringly, and put the doll down on the ground.

"Daddy?" she murmured, walking slowly over to the serial killer chief.

"Bia, I'm so, so sorry!" Willy's apology rushed out in a ragged voice, uncaring of letting his true emotions show in public.

"I didn't mean to scare you, and I'm certainly not mad at you!" the bigger weasel pleaded, as he swept Willimeena up in a loving hug.

"I just ... I just don't want to lose you, sweetie", Willy confessed, honestly. "I lost you for months when the police took you away from me years ago."

The big weasel then winced, and lowered his gaze.

"It almost happened again; during the ritual night. I'm NOT losing the ONLY good thing in my life, Bia!" he stated, emphatically.

Willimeena's anxiety vanished as she smiled happily at her dad's caring words.

"You make my life worth living ... just being you. I love you, Bia", Willy said.
