[atrb=background,http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/dragon199081/elegance_middle3.jpg] Elegance lay curled up in her den, her insides a mess of pain and misfortune. The little beasts in her body were beginning to squirm in the most unpleasant of fashions. She could almost feel little paws and warm bodies, all throbbing with an unwanted life. Letting loose a mixture of a groan and a growl, Elegance attempted to stretch herself out, trying to lessen the pain. Movement, however, caused her to yelp in agony. Sighing in frustratin, she lay her head back down, sick of being weak and uncomfortable. Something shifted inside her. She yelped again. The little beasts were trying to come out! Snarling, she wondered which was worse: Their presence inside her, or their presence outside in the world? With a grim smile, Elegance realized she could always feed them to Flynn and Sylvester. More shifting. With a groan, Elegance wondered why all this was happening to her. However, she kept her mind on the image of a group of small forms being ripped by lethal teeth and, one at a time, released the demons from her innards. Two tiny beasts, laying on the ground, covered in mucus. Elegance didn't want to deliver them all slimy, so she licked them clean. However, a squirming in her stomach told her another one was on the way. Growling, she released this one too. Tiny and yellow, the last one appeared, a tiny cord rapped around its neck. Elegance grinned, although she was throbbing with pain. "A little noose to hang you with?" she cooed, "How thoughful of you!" she hooked a claw under it, thinking about hanging it with a cruel pleasure. However, she decided against it. Tearing the cord loose, Elegance licked this one clean as well. Three little beasts. Three little pups. Three little fuzzy piles of scum she wanted nothing to do with. But there they were. She couldn't change that. Well, not yet, anyways. Drawing them into her body, Elegance allowed them to eat a little. "That's right," she cooed, "Get nice and plump. No one wants a skinny dinner," She wondered if she'd be able to give them to Flynn and Sylvester, however. Some dark, loving urge that she hated to have pulled at her. Giving each pup another lick, she considered this. And so, Elegance became a mother.

[Brightness Darkly]

Brightness struggled and gasped for breath. Air seemed to be too much but he couldn't help but try and breath it. He wriggled and finally seemed to get the hang of breathing though he still wheezed some. Blindly he snuggled close to his mothers warmth but the wiggling of his brothers made it difficult for him to feed. A whine lifted up as one knocked him in the nose. He fluttered his tiny yellow wings and tried to push his way through. But his brothers were bigger than he was. Brightness whined louder, seeking the help of his mother.

But the small guy was a fighter. He was determined to get food to and surged forward. But trying to climb over one of the other pups back didn't work either. Little legs flailed as he squirmed inching closer and finally finding a place and getting at least a little food.
