Blackfeather Woods How strange

The words the young girl spoke were eerie, yet true. Malice shrugged. Perhaps they would. She knew Nemesis would want it, that was for sure. But if they would want her pups, Burke's pups, they would have to go through her. Until her last breath, she would fight to give her children a family she never had. Surely Burke wouldn't allow the Dark Brotherhood members to kill his own offspring? Or would he? She frowned again. Who knows... She breathed out, changing position again to stop the sudden pain in her belly that came and went. 

If the others will not kill me, I would gladly help if you want me to. Malice offered, for she felt bad to say things that weren't true. Perhaps it had hurt her somehow, since this was one peculiar little girl. She didn't have to take the offer, knowing full well that Kendra was almost an adult and could easily do thing for herself, but it would be a great way to learn more about plants. Plus, who wouldn't refuse an extra pair of paws?
