First spilt blood [Champion]

Embers of life illuminated the horizon in tiny smoldering colors. The morning stirred with the calling of various birds. The morning symphony stretched their cords and warmed up for the dawning?s song. Large ears twitched to the infuriating call of lovers. She pushed her paws across her heads and squeezed her eyes tightly. It alleviated some of the tension she felt eating at her stomach but alas the day grew alive and with it so would she.

She allowed a yawn to grow from the edges of her jaw to expose her full bite. Elongated fangs were left unsecured for a moment until she closed her jaw completely. The rumble in her stomach was growing more infuriating every few moments. She withdrew her body from the warmth of foliage bedding. She could feel the little devils moving around inside her. Each day they grew more demanding and she felt as if her madness was swelling even more so then usual. Yet the puppet master hadn?t cooked her claws into her body in quite a time. Perhaps the life the stirred kept her demons at bay?

The soft fallen snow still covered the ground around her. Her warm bedding had lost its cover of snow but it still kissed the ground in a soft blanket. She pushed her large frame forwards, stretching out her limbs, and giving the youths some room to move around inside her belly. She could feel how swollen it had become. They would come soon enough and she was excited to know them. An arousing aroma caught her attention. She froze for a moment as she sniffed the air. Elk, oh she could smell it close by. Saliva pooled at the edges of her jaws with response to the enticing aroma. Her ears fell back for a moment. What about her pups? She could surly take down the elk if she tried but what if he got her? A wound wouldn?t hurt her much but just the right stab could end one of her pup?s unborn lives.

?Cerberus?s bitch, when did fear ever cripple the queen slayer?? she chided herself. Her tail flicked with aggravation as she looked around her. The world was towering with giants like her. It seemed to be enough encouragement for her to begin to stalk the elk she had smelled.
