The sun had just set, the sky outside a deep purple, and the sounds of the waves crashing nearby became like a lullaby, as it did every night. Lillith had just blown out the lantern that she used for lighting her tanning shed and retired into her cottage for the night. There, she had lit a fire in the fireplace, and nestled into one of the restored human couches nearby, picking up a seashell necklace that was half finished. She worked on this for a time as she smoked her pipe, letting the drug within calm her to the brink of sleep.
Then, without warning, her door was thrust open. Lillith was immediately on her feet, her thin body silhouetted against the firelight, as she watched in surprise as a very pregnant Amy Sunders stumbled in and made a bee-line to Lillith’s bedroom, and then collapsed on her furs. Lillith came to the doorway and looked in on her curiously and could immediately smell that the dog woman was in the midst of birth. Lillith twisted her face into a frustrated sneer when she heard sounds outside; there were others with Amy.
Like lightning, Lillith was in her store room and grabbed her bone knives; she felt adrenaline begin to pump through her, both from the shock of Amy's sudden invasion, and also that there were unknown canines with her. She peered back into the main room of her cottage and could see outside, though it was dimly lit, a wagon, and the shadows of two other Luperci; she gripped her knives tightly, preparing herself for a brawl.
