It had been two months since I found out I was pregnant with twins. Arian said it might take me a bit longer to give birth than usual as I was skinny, don't get me wrong I was skinny due to not eating much, but actually, I'm quite busty. The pregnancy has done wonders for me, eating happily to share with my growing little ones.
Arian looked at me as if he could hear everything before I knew it, he got up and started to leave our home, "where are you going? I said to Arian his reply was "I'm going to hunt" a few minutes after he left my stomach became to grumble... I went red in the face, no wonder he left to go hunt he knew I'd be hungry very soon.
It was about noon, a very hot day so far I had yet to see Quyin today. I wonder what kept her. I started to smell smoke, I ran to the window to see where this smoke was coming from, it was coming from the village oh no, I tried to call for Arian.
Before I knew it someone had come into the house, it was a scarred male his form was that of a cougar I thought he got closer to me "please don't hurt me" I held on to my stomach the male approached me, sniffed my belly he growled a low noise, two more male's appeared a fox and a scorpion. I thought that this was the end for me.
Arian had returned too late Celeste was gone, her smell was gone. He fell to his knees "CELESTE WHERE ARE YOU?!" He roared. He ran into the village, to see if she was there, all the females had been rounded up she was nowhere to be seen, he ran into Quyin he pulled her to the side "have you seen Celeste?" Shaking her head, after knowing the village came under attack she'd probably be unable to say anymore, he said "it's gonna be okay, your gonna be okay. I'll speak to some other males and find out if they saw her".
Celeste had woken up, she felt rough fur on her face, she couldn't see much as they had wrapped cloth around her eyes, they must have taken her somewhere else, she heard the moans of what sounded like other females. Not long after she found herself getting more uncomfortable on the back of this male. They had stopped, possibly arriving where they came from, soon a male took me off the top of this male, he picked me up and walked not very far and placed me down, we seemed to be somewhere sheltered, it was seemingly warmer.
They removed the cloth, as my eyes adjusted I realised I wasn't the only one, I noticed a familiar face amongst the females, it was Lilly. Our eyes met. Lilly came over to me, she noticed my stomach. She whispered, "you're pregnant?" I nodded, she looked at me a kept me behind her to protect me and my unborn children, I held my stomach.
Before we knew it we heard the commotion coming from outside, sounds of fighting were coming from outside, the sound of roars was so loud I had to cover my ears. Before Lilly and I knew it was over a lion had entered the place we were being held, a roar came from the lion, after that, a beautiful black-furred lion entered he soon transformed. He turned into a muscular male with jet black hair and ruby red eyes. Our eyes met, he came towards us he told us we were safe, the would-be taking us to the capital after finishing his announcement, he transformed back into a black lion, as I watched him leave the shelter, his fur looked as if it was shimmering like black diamonds.
Before I knew it I quietly muttered under my breath "beautiful" Lilly looked at me, "we're saved!" She hugged me. "Lilly, I feel weird, I.." I passed out.
Before I knew it I could feel the fur on my face, I started to open my eyes everything was blurred, but the fur in front of me was black and shimmering in the sunlight. It looked like the male lion we saw earlier, but why was he carrying me? I could hear a faint murmur in the background as I was trying to sit up, the voice became more and more understandably clear, it was Lilly, she was shouting "Celeste are you okay?!" "can you hear me?" "males help her, she's pregnant and hasn't eaten for a day now!" that's when the commotion started behind me, the lion was was on slowly started to lay down as if he was being as gentle as possible after that, I was lifted from his back and soon Lilly was comforting me, she gave me some water from a fur container, that helped me feel a bit better, shortly after, a male came over with some food, a mixture of berries and cooked meat.
After eating my fill, Lilly said- "are you okay? I was so worried when you fainted, the king took care of you himself, wouldn't let the other males have you ride on top of them, I've never seen him like that before, I don't think anyone has". Before she could utter another word he himself walked over, "my name is Lavi, I wanted to personally make sure you were taking care of, apologises for I didn't notice you were ill." he took my hand and kissed it, as an offer of goodwill. Everyone else seemed nervous around him, but I thought different like a cat misunderstood/indifferent because of his unusual eyes, without knowing what I was doing Levi asked- " are you okay, you've been staring at my eye for a little while now", now knowing what I was doing, I embarrassingly turned away, my face hot, my cheeks burning crimson red.
Lavi left me as I was after I got all embarrassed, Lilly started to talk to me again, "so Celeste how far along are you in your pregnancy?", "it's been two months"- Taking a break from speaking "I'm having twins" Lilly's face lit up as if she knew something I didn't, she smirked. "If you're two months pregnant it can't be males, you're not big enough to be pregnant with males, we give birth to them at 4 months. That must mean the children are female"- She looked at me shocked.
