This Is Your Doing

The woman paced, her belly a bit larger now that she was carrying pups. She was sure there were no more than two, she was hardly showing at all. It just looked like she had a little more to eat than normal. But this wasn't happening, it couldn't be happening! She had only been with Colten, and he wasn't even two years old yet! How did this happen then, how? There was no other way, and it was as if her nightmares had come to haunt her ever waking moment. She had been hiding herself away, trying not to let others near her. While she may not look pregnant, her smell was something that could not be denied. Her teats began to hang a bit lower as well, full on signs that she was indeed expecting. Her legs shook as she crumbled to the ground, pulling her legs up over her face as she hid herself away. This was not happening... it couldn't be true. Her whole body quivered as tears came to her eyes, tail tucking around her side. She just wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole, for all of this to be over.

Ekko paused, lowering her legs to look out across the plains. She needed to tell Colten, to demand answers from him. Had he lied about his age? How else could this have come to be? Timidly she lifted her head and called for him, her song shaky. Once it was done she tucked her head under her limbs again, hoping that she hadn't called anyone's attention towards her. She didn't want to be here. She didn't want this to be happening.
