"Wicked!" Creepie's regular expression for 'cool'.
Caroleena was rejoiced at Creepie's reaction. She knew that the two of them were both thinking that these kids had to go, though truthfully, there was a part of her that wondered whether or not Creepie would agree. Creepie had been raised by bugs, and loved her family more than anything, but she was still human. Typically, if your mom asked you if was okay for your family to eat some of your class, if that was ever asked, common sense would make you answer, no. Although Caroleena was still slightly puzzled, she wasn't complaining.
Across from her, a small part of Creepie had been wondering the same thing. She had just said that it was okay for her relatives to eat devour these people. Then again, she did mean what she said. The logic side of her brain was actually arguing with that small part of itself because it was saying that this was a matter of security, which it was.
Also, some strange sensation was being felt by Creepie. It was faint, but when she thought more about the kids being eaten by the bugs, it was beginning to look more, interesting.

"Although Creepie, I think it would be best if you went somewhere else why'll we ate." Caroleena was worried that too much exposure to the actual event might cause her daughter to change her mind.
Shaking her feelings aside, Creepie agreed "Yeah, I probably should.".
As if on que, one of Creepie's older relatives came hopping in. He actually hopped, he was a Grasshopper after all.
"Oh hi Gerald, say, why don't you show Creepie around from your perspective?" Caroleena suggested. After recieving a subtle wink, the grasshopper said "Sure thing, hop on Creepie.". The tiny girl eagerly got onto his back. Her cousin spread his wings, and made it all the way to the stairs. Creepie was not one to cheer, but even she had to admit, this was fun.

Now with her daughter away, Caroleena turned back to the buffet before her. There were easily one dozen shrunken teens here. Compared to exactly how many bugs lived in Dweezwald it seemed like a small amount, but in nature, you take what you can get.
"...and I always knew she was a freak, but this..." Carla had only begun expressing to the crowd her thoughts on Creepie Creature. During which, Caroleena began informing the others on the plan.
"Huh?....really?....Cool!" Pauly was on board. Soon following was Gnat. His small stature probably meant he couldn't handle such a big meal, but that wouldn't stop him from trying.
After a few others were told the good news, it was time for a feast.

"And now she's riding a cricket!" Carla expressed the absurdity of the situation, and the that fact that she was completely grossed out.
"He's a Grasshopper." Before Carla could hear a positive reaction, she was interrupted by a correction. At first she was angry, but after turning around, the angry stares from the insect residents made her uneasy.
"Also, who do you think you are insulting us like that?" Caroleena continued. "Yeah, just because we don't have ears doesn't mean we can't hear." Pauly stated.
A few people shrugged at that response.
"We couldn't possibly have been more hospitibal to you." Caroleena said. "Look, we don't care about hospitality, I have been through enough today, to worry about being friendly. I have been shrunken, nearly been crushed by people, and I still smell like feet!" Carla expressed.
"Woah, that's a relief *sniff sniff* I thought it was me." Pauly said.
"And I don't want to be around creepy bugs!" she shouted.
"Carla..." Melanie was the only one to notice that she may have gone to far.

That was the last straw.
"Well you should know that sometimes we bugs don't find people very appealing either." Vinnie said. "Oh yeah?" someone said in the back. "Yes,...but now, you all look scrumptious." Caroleena said Some grew very worried, but she felt that others still needed more information.
"Do any of you know the way the food chain works? she asked. Everyone shook their heads, praying that they didn't. "In nature, the weak are food for the strong. Big eats small." After that was said, Caroleena's stomach growled.
The kids ran screaming.

Two guys ran for their lives, only to bump into Paulie. Creepie's brother licked his lips, and grabbed the two with his many arms. He stuffed them into his mouth, like he normally did with his food.
Another guy made to the end of the couch, only to be confronted by a swarm of flys. They enveloped him, and soon there was nothing left, not even bones.
A girl screamed as her legs disappeared into a millipede. Who knows how much he could fit in his long body. Surprisingly, this was Creepie's cousin Victor. The sweet, peace loving Millipede.

Vinnie cornered three kids for his wife. This scenario was tempting, but he usually didn't eat solid foods.
"Let me go! AAAAH!" One of them, was Melanie. "You know, Creepie mentioned you before, and I haven't heard anything good." After that, she opened wide. Melanie struggled again, but she was held too tightly between the pincers. She could only watch as the mantis opened its wide, slimey mouth.
She screamed again as the top of her head was enveloped. Soon her cries were useless as her entire head vanished.
Caroleena couldn't believe her taste buds. This girl was delicious!
Her tummy growled impatiently though, causing her to swallow further. The girl's shoulders were no match for her jaws. As a female Mantis, she could swallow one of her own with no problem. Which reminded her to be careful, something was telling her not to kill this one right away.

Melanie could feel her breasts being eaten by this bug. She already had enough to deal with as the tight throat muscles squeezed her against her. Still she futily struggled.
Escape was not meant to be though, as her slim midesction was swallowed, soon followed by her ridiculously small waist. Now with only the legs, Caroleena was almost sad to see it end, but her stomach was still calling. With a few more slurps, the girl was gone.

"MELANIE!" Carla could only watch as the bulge that was her best friend disappear from the mouth of the mantis, and reappear in its belly. Caroleena patted her new bulge, normally she watched her weight, being a woman and all, but she decided against that now. These humans were just too delectable, and if a few more meant a few bulges in her middle, than so be it.
Though, she decided to save Carla for dessert. Next she went for the other kid.
