Chimera Fields burn

It seemed to Hokulani that two halves of her brain were fighting against each other. One was listening to Aureli, telling her to take the pup that she had waited on for so long into her arms and love him. The other half told her to kill the parasite who had leeched off of her for months before it could continue to do so for the next year.

The former won, and he dragged the little thing closer to her. A boy, she soon found out while cleaning him in preperation for the world. He's so.. she paused, frowning, ..ugly. Why did he look so alien? Did all newborns look like that?

As if avenging their brother, another contraction hit her like a rockslide. This one must have been either stuck or eager, because the cries sounded out before the pup ever hit the ground.

She was disgusted now, but sooner or later she would learn to love @Kaiilani.
