Birthing Thread! I wanted to get it up on the correct date, thus I'm posting from my mid-west vacation spot. First post goes to Savina, then friends are welcome. ^^

She hadn’t walked the stairs in many days. And her blue eyes shut out the dim thin line of light under the door of the small room. It was off the living room of the manor, quiet and warm in the summer’s heat. Anu had closed the door as best she could in her four legged form, seeking the solitude and finding it overpowering. Her urges had been different theses past few days. They had told her to nest, and so she did; the blankets and furs lined the floor and bunched up to create an indent for her rounded form. They had told her it was best to remain still and quiet, so the female had spoken to few and remained on her side and refused to eat. The lack of contact helped her return to the primal voices that had called to her in the beginning and told her she was close. She listened to her body, and she slept in the early morning hours when she would normally have her fingers deep in the earth’s cool soil.

The sun had yet to rise beyond the tree’s tips, and Anu was lay in a peaceful slumber. Her eyes lids barely moved with the slight motions that her sleep brought. Dreams were vague, a haze of images that told her she was moving, running perhaps. Smells where dank, covered by that of dust and the fur of her coverings. Toes twitched, her pace increasing in the world that would be forever forgotten the moment she woke. There was something waiting for her, or urging her forward. It felt as if she was growing closer, nearing finally what she wished and anticipated.

Her eyes opened, followed by her maw. A higher-pitched angry groan escaped her throat. A noise that sounded was unlike the small female, and for a moment Anu wondered who had given such a call. Then she felt the pain. It was sudden, hash and unlike anything that she had ever felt. It was pressure, pressure that caused the sharp gab or pang that radiated from her abdomen and into her legs and up her chest. Anu whimpered, unsure if she could manage the small pains that came forth now, let alone the ones that would come in the near future. She barked, her breath uncontrolled and already too hasty to conjure a long winded howl.

She managed to rise, her instincts taking control of her and sending her into a tight circle. Anu wore away at the imprint she had made in the blankets, scratching even as the pain subsided. Nestled in among the bedding once again she felt the beginning rumbles of the next thundering pain and braced herself for the small storm that raged. The door opened, the low light of morning flooding the small room. Blue eyes opened to see the face of Mati, purple eyes looking concerned and frightened. Anu felt her legs tremor slightly, caused by the pain or the fear she couldn’t tell. Get Savi. She spoke, voice unnaturally forceful and hard.
