A rumbling sound came from the ground of the Coven's den, a scrabbling following it before everything stilled. A white and red figure lay sprawled on the ground marked with claw furrows, the leaf litter tossed in all directions. Obviously, the crazy little lioness had cleared herself a place and dug into the ground, and it was in this little nest that she lay now.
A grimace came to her lovely face and she began to twitch, finally turning into a scrabbling roll as she rubbed her sides and stomach into the ground in a restless manner.
"Hurts... hurts.... worms in my stomach... parasites, bugs, evil maggots!" She hissed, her voice rising into a yowl as she thrashed harder, her tail flailing. Her paws fell to her stomach, claws shooting out to cut through fur and flesh to leave shallow wounds that seeped blood. "Cut them out... cut out the worms! Must get them out... parasites!" Shaitani moaned.

Afritti'dogo, knew she was pregnant, it irked her a touch though certainly not as much as it had the first time she had carried Moses' cubs. She felt the weight of her sides as she moved around keeping most of her finese', which she had somehow gained since becomeing a queen. It was strange how she had fallen in to this way of moving. She felt it regal, her head high and her eyes half lidded.
She heard the sound of the maddened lioness and roolled her eyes. What was that crazy little leech doing now? Sighing heavily she padded through the undergrowth to stand over the other her stance, slightly aggressive. She still feared the white and red female a little, though that was partly because she had cubs on the way and they must be cared for above all others. Still, there was somethign different, somethign wrong here.
"Sheitani." She stated sharply her fangs flashing as she saught the attention of the red eyed femme.

The call of her name drew her attention and the pale lioness jumped to her paws and whirled, dirt falling from her fur as she stared wide-eyed at Afritti.
"Queen! Majesty... Lady... Shaitani is not distrubing you, is she? Lowly worm, naughty thing, bothering the Mistress..." She moaned softly as she sank down on her belly, laying her ears back against her skull. The bird bones around her neck rattled and she squirmed pitifully.
"Forgive Shaitani, Mistress..." She said as she looked up at the new queen, crawling closer with her belly in the dirt. Since Afritti had become queen, she'd taken the place of the old one in the lioness's mind, and as such, earned Shai's obedience. Even if there wasn't really any sort of loyalty. The old queen had been nothing but an annoyance to the harem female, someone she feared and respected, though she hated her for taking up her beloved Drakul's attention. To her face, she was a groveling follower, but behind her back, Shai cursed her freely. Now Afritti was the source of these feelings, taking the old queen's place just as Moses had taken the place of Drakul.

Afritti'Dogo looked the grovelling female over, her eyes narrowing slightly. Something was wrong here. She licked her pale lips and moved towards the bloody marked female. "What ailes you Shaitani?" She questioned, feeling the fur on the back of her neck rise. Somethign was very wrong here. She knew herself that she was pregnant, but was she shareing the condition with this female?
She considered the options here, she needed to know the truth here and without further observation of the pale lioness, she would not get it. Shaitani was mad as a hatter and there was no gaining anything from her, or so the dark, salmon streaked femme felt.
She waited though, perhaps the leech would tell her what was wrong, or at least soemthing akin to the truth any way.

The lioness stilled as the question came to her, blinking as she stared up at Afritti as the queen came closer. Her own hackles rose as her ears pressed back harder, eyes widening with a touch of her normal maddess. At least Afritti understood and was suitably wary... it would be safer for her, for sure.
"Shaitani has worms in her belly..." She moaned, rolling over onto her back and baring her belly. Her claws fell to scraping the pale length again, blood oozing from the self-inflicted wounds. "She can feel them... moving, squirming, growing, eating her from the inside! Worms, parasites, nasty bugs! Shaitani will cut them out of her belly, Majesty!" She smiled a little too widely a she said it, the expression far from happy or reassuring.
Her sides curved gently, her pregnancy obvious. What she felt was her cubs as they kicked gently, unknowing the instability of their mother. Even unborn, they weren't safe from her, and it would most likely grow worse with time.

Afritti paused for a moment, how she would handle this delicate situation was for a long moment beyond her. She raked her mind. Clearly Sheitani would either kill or maime any cubs that came from her womb and Afritti wasn't about to see that happen. She had the heart of a mother now and it was sickening to her to think that any child should die within HER lands.
She would have to take a different route here. Sos he spoke, quietly, almost kindly to the mental red lioness, though her voice still held the stern, authoritive tone she needd to use around the pale female.
"Shaitani cease your foolishness!" Her tail lashed and her shoulders tenced, but she kept her fear in check, showing fear before shaitani was a fools game. "Your king has a job for you I am but a messanger." She snorts as if this was the last thing in the world she wanted to do. "You are to follow me and aid me for a time while I am pregnant, then when I am done you can leave and go back to what ever it is you usually do!" She snapped, a smirk raising on ehr maw, her dark eyes hooded. "Get up, I won't have blood all over my den, you will bathe in ther pool before you return with me shaitani, am I understood?" She raised a half curious brow, her heart beating rather quickly, she hoped this would work, she would just have to have Moses around until Shaitani gave birth, she was afraid of the crazy female though not half as afraid for herself as she was for the cubs she carried.

Shai froze at the sharp tone, her eyes widening at the scolding. She squirmed pitifully as she grimaced. Yes, she was a fool.. a foolish fool... a terrible little worm, worthless to anyone.
"Forgive me, majesty... forgive the lowly one..." She moaned as she ceased her scraping, her paws tucking to her pale chest. Her eyes widened at the mention of her king, rolling over into a crouch. She lifted her head with ears perked eagerly for whatever she might say. "What does my king have for his poor servant?"
The answer seemed to suprise her and she paused, her brow wrinkled in confusion. "Serve the mistress? Shaitani... can serve the mistress." It was a hard concept to keep in her mind and all save a vague feeling was lost at the command to wash. Wash? What for?
"Bathe, Mistress?" The pale lioness's dusty fur bore the sign that perhaps such a concept was a bit foreign to her.

Afritti rolled her eyes and let a heavy sigh roll off her lips as she moved to the blood spattered lionesses side. Lowering her nose the dark, salmon streaked femme nudged the other female "Move Shaitani, Move I say!" She snapped, careful that she should be able to move away should the pale femme decide to snap at her.
"The water, Shaitani, you'll bathe of this mess you have made of yourself before you return to my den. You will much upset your lord if you are seen in such a state around him. Now lift your carcass Shaitani before I loose my paitence with you and fetch Moses to deal with you."
Threats, the only thing she could think of to make the lioness obey. It sickened her to think that she must take on this mad ones cubs, but she had no choice, it was her job to care for the whole pride and it's cubs were the most vulnerable.

The pale lioness jumped to her paws at the first touch from Afritti, moving so fast you'd have thought the touch burned her. Her ears layed back as her eyes widened, her tail tucking between her legs.
"Y-yes, Mistress!" She gasped out as she lowered herself submissively, not even needing the threat of Moses to make her bidable and obedient. "Shai shall bathe, yes... shall wash her dirty, nasty fur... clean to please the Mistress..." It seemed a mantra to her as she repeated it over and over, shifting from paw to paw.
Finally, she turned and slunk towards the small stream that was the Pride's water source, casting back mournful glances at the queen. To an outsider, it could have looked like Afritti was some terrible queen bossing around her beaten and cowed servant, but truly, Shai just wanted to please her, and this method had the best results most often.

Afritti stood solid as the other female le4apt in her skitty manner. She smiled to herself, she was starting to get used to Sheitani and her strange skittish ways of moving without really being seen. Violet eyes watched as the other moved to the water and she waited calmly, quietly for the other to finish batheing.
She could feel a slight forebodeing towards the fact that Sheitani's cubs would be raised along side her own, but this was her pride now and she must care for the young within it like a mother.
"Come shaitani, follow me now, we'll return to my den and you will stay at my side until I deem that you may leave." She let a slight puurr roll off her lips, she felt proud of herself, a true leader. It might not have been hard to dominate the somewhat manic sheitani, but the job she had given herself, to care for what ever spawn should leave the creazed ones womb made her feel what she truely felt she should feel, leader, mother of the pride.

Shaitani was so buisy cowtowing to Afritti that she didn't watch her paws, finding herself stepping into the stream before she realized it. Loosing her balance on the slippery rocks, she tumbled face-first into the water with a screech, spluttering when she came up again. Her mantra picked up again, reminding her of her duty, and the pale lioness dumped herself into the water again.
Rolling feverishly, she ground her body into the stones of the stream bed, all but beating the dirt from her fur. Only when her lungs screamed for air did she come up again, darting to her feet to stand gasping and panting. Red eyes wild, she slunk from the water up onto dry ground, there to shake herself violently all over to shed the water from her coat. The dunking and feverish cleaning left her stressed, but at least she had forgotten the 'worms' in her stomach as she slunk back to Afritti, leaving a trail of water droplets in her trail.
"Yes, Mistress." She murmured submissively as she trailed in the queen's wake.

Afritti smiled to herself, a greater idea she felt she had never had. Holding her head high her violet eyes fixed only on what was before her and nothing more. She said nothing more to the pale, bloodied lioness her mind on too many other things to consider what the mental female was thinking.
Her first and foremost thought was of course on how she was to protect the cubs that would come from sheitani, someone would have to watch her day and night until the cubs were born and they could be taken away from her.
Her mind spun, she knew she had to take this task on herself but she could not possibly watch her always, she would have to have time to herself. One of her older daughters would be ideal, she would have to enlist one of them to help.
Nodding her dark, dalmon streaked head the queen of the mwena slipped in to the royal dens to rest. There was much to do, much to worry about, but these things could wait. "Rest here sheitani." She stated simply, placing her own delecate head on her paws. She would not sleep, she could not, but she could rest and think until Moses arrived. He could watch the pale femme while she enlisted some help, but for now,s he could rest, always keeping her violet gaze upon the blood streaked female, who's life was suddenly in ehr paws, at least until the cubs were born.

Shai focused on the tip of Afritti's tail as she followed her into the den, slowly forgetting what they were doing, though the command to follow and obey stayed strong in her strange mind.
This den was new to her, instantly perking up her interest as she went to explore it, poking her nose into every knook and cranny she could find. What was this strange place? It smelled like... like Drakkul, mostly the new one, with hints of the old one, long gone. It teased her, further confusing her memory of who was the true Drakkul.
Afritti's call jerked her from her exploration and her ears pressed back to her skull, her belly dropping into the dirt as she crawled to within a respectful distance of her new queen. "Yes, Mistress." She piped before immediently dropping her shin onto her paws and falling asleep. Her face eased, taking on the innocence of a child. Seemed she was oblivious again, at least untill the cubs in her belly started to move inside her.

Violet eyes eatched the pale lioness throught he darkness, as her ears flattened gently against her own head. Only when the lionesses breathing became calmed did the salmon streaked femme relax. She too wished for a little nap and so resigned herself to it.
She would sleep lightly, she had gotten used to doezing while out alone with Moses. She had needed to protect her own cubs out there and now in hereshe once again must protect cubs.
She let a silent yawn roll over her lips as she closed her eyes finally relaxing though her small tufted ears twitched occassionally listening for Sheitani's movements. It wouldn't be long before Moses arrived and she would have to inform her mate of the situation. How strange it would be,s he realised, to raise somone elses brood. how very strange.
