Pushing On; I Can't Escape

Kaitlyn hadn’t been resting long before another approached, and Kait looked at the stranger speaking with alarm. Was she allowed to interact with others? A quick glance was cast in the direction of the King and Queen. But even though she wasn’t sure if speaking to the woman was a good idea there were things she was saying that had Kait looking back to her in alarm. She shivered a little, glancing to her belly for a frightful moment. She could lose her babies? Her ears flicked back, a soft, pathetic whine rising in her throat before she turned her green gaze back to the other female.

“I can’t lose them…” The female said, her voice quiet. “I know that we’ve been traveling far… and it’s been hard on us all… but I can’t lose these babies…” Tears had begun forming in her eyes. Kait didn’t care so much about dying herself. These children, the little lives stirring within her, had given her a purpose. A reason to be where she was now. Without them what good was she? What hope for the future did she have? Besides that… she’d already started to grow attached to the little ones. Each time they moved within her she couldn’t help but smile… and now she was anxiously waiting, hoping she’d feel one of them stir again.

“We didn’t have a choice but to leave… But… I…” Kaitlyn looked back at her belly, giving another whine. “Gods please I can’t lose them… not now…” Her mind was starting to race, going into a tizzy as she tried to keep herself calm… and in vain. So wrapped up in the thought that she might actually lose the little ones the woman almost forgot about the other wolf present who had given her the information in the first place.
