Why did I tell her, why? Why? I am so stupid! How could I ever... I should have kept it a secret. What if she opens her mouth?
Guinevere was sitting on the shadows, watching the sun hidden by dark clouds in the sky. The night before, she had leaked out her secret to Siren about her pregnancy. Above all the Wildcats, she had told it to Siren.
She sighed and leaned against the half-dead tree she sat underneath. Knitting her eyebrows, she tapped the book to her lips softly, lowering her eyes to the horizon. Guinevere tipped her head away and looked at the softly swollen belly. She smiled to herself - a sincere smile she could afford to give when she was alone, in her peaceful time. Sighing, she closed her eyes, letting her hair fall over her forehead and right side of her face, cascading down her shoulders.
What's done is done, though. I can't do much about this now. But I do hope that kid is safe. I'd tear her apart if she touched a hair of his, in an improper way.

*knock, knock*
Lurlina knocked on the tree, as if it were a door.
"Can I come in, Guinevere?", she asked in a soft tone.
Leaning against the once-proud treebark, a relaxed expression gracing her visage, Lurlina savoured her surroundings as she waited for Guinevere to answer.
This better be worth it, Ike's all alone... and that does NOT sit well with me.

Guinevere turned her head back sharply, and relaxed just a bit when she saw Siren. She sighed and glanced back to the horizon, shrugging softly. "I guess.", she brushed some hair behind her ear softly, grabbing her book and putting it on her knees, holding it open with one hand, as the other lay over her swollen tummy, hidden by the shirt. She sighed, her eyes following along the printed letters on those pages of the book she held, not lifting her head from it.
"Did you want something, Siren?", she asked blankly, with no traces of sarcasm or fury in her words; just calm and blank expression.

You could be a little nicer, sheesh.
Hm, I truly hope I don't regret coming here.
"Central park is always a nice place in which take a walk", replied Lurlina, "and I saw you sitting here from my window".
She moved closer to Guinevere and sat beside She-Wolf.
"I thought maybe you could tell me more about your... 'condition', Guinevere", Lurlina kept looking at her appartments's windows every once in a while, as she spoke, "We're both Wildcats, and I'd like to know if you can get my back should the need arise".
Plus, there's no "info" to collect today. And I have to do SOMETHING to pass the time.
Looking miss Russell in the eyes, she ended her "opening statements":
"I hope you don't mind."

Guinevere observed Lurlina take a seat next to her like a careful wolf observing a strange creature that could be either prey or predator. Her pretty eyes followed her movements, before she turned to the book she had on her hands.
It seemed that she wasn't going to talk, at least, not anytime soon, as she kept silent and reading the book, appearing to not have heard the girl next to hear. However, when it was almost assured that she would remain quietly ignoring the taller girl, she sighed and turned her head to her.
"I had unprotected sex with the person I loved.", she lay a hand on her tummy and shook her head softly, returning to the book. "Thus I got pregnant.", she shrugged softly.

"Silly, I know how it happened. There's usually not much choice in that matter...", replied Lurlina, nice smile all over her.
"No, my question was about two other things. My main concern is how your 'condition' affects you: Mood swings, migrains, cravings, that kind of stuff", the Siren went on, looking serious, "That will do. Yet I find it strange that someone like you got careless... and you ending up here, of all places, makes almost as much sense".
Yeah, what's up with that?
Lurlina moved her head close to Guinevere's and whispered softly into her ear:
"So we can be safe, Guinevere. So you can be safe. So Ike can be safe..."

The pregnant girl sighed. She put her book down and turned her head to Lurlina, being awfully close to her, their noses almost touching - she didn't seem to care, though. With an arched eyebrows and a calm expression, she locked her eyes with those of Lurlina. "Careless? I was not careless, Lurlina. We both wanted this.", she frowned deeply and turned her head away, to hide her pained expression.
"It was beyond our hands to guess what would come. To guess he would die.", she brought a hand up to her face, as if trying to hide it. "Why did he have to die? If he hadn't... I wouldn't end up here in this God forsaken land!", she sighed and placed a hand over her eyes, not turning to face Lurlina. Really, what she needed the last was to feel weak and to feel the need to be comforted; what she needed the last was to her pain and her tears to be noticed. She was doing a great job hiding it, under he present circumstances. "If you haven't noticed, Lurlina, I have only been in New Pork for a little over two months. I'm four months pregnant."

"Love has a way of catching you off-guard, doesn't it?", said Lurlina, in a whisper, remembering Baldemar's treachery.
How did he... well, he won't hurt anyone else... oh no, not after that last kiss... that last caress... that last agonizing cry of pain.
Only Music now, it had been a whole symphony back then.
Lurlina looked serious for a moment, no more after she shook her mind off that part of her life, a slightly troubled expression ruling her visage then.
"I didn't know, I'm sorry. I lost the m-...guy I loved, too. The circumstances were... different, though.", her eyes glittered with hatred at the bare reminisce of her troubled past.
The Siren watched as Guinevere attempted to disguise her anguish, and waited until she spoke again.
"Still, Guinevere, why?", Lurlina grabbed She-Wolf's chin and gently pulled it so their gazes would meet again, "Why New Pork?".
Moving her hand to the Omega's cheeks, Lurlina caressed the girl's face, gentle look all over her.
"Your secret doesn't belong here, my darling She-Wolf, among all the pain, all the smoke... how can it bloom when even the sun's out to get us?", Lurlina's gentle expression was as sincere as she could make it be.
Putting her hand down, she looked back onto the "horizon".
"Just... don't pull a bad Houdini like your 'husband', ok? That... that would be the end of the Wildcats... and your secret would probably end up with me... and we both know what you think would happen to it."

She glanced away when her chin was pulled so that she was forced to meet Lurlina's gaze. She sighed and shrugged helplessly, shaking her head before pulling it away from the other girl's grasp. "That's a question we all want to answer but can't.", she looked away again and slumped her shoulders, as if she had been defeated by something beyond her control. "Even if we did know, we are trapped here in this cage.", the older girl sighed and brushed some hair behind her ear gently, gazing off to nowhere. "We can get in, but we can't get out."
She was quiet as Lurlina spoke, dropping her chin to her chest tiredly, idly tracing random patterns on her stomach. She then looked at her again and blinked calmly. "He wasn't my husband.", she spoke in a hushed voice. Not going further than that, she tipped her head back and sighed. "Why are you here, I could ask too.", she said, more like thinking outloud than actually speaking.

"Me? I...", Lurlina had not expected Guinevere asking her about her past, "I ran into some... trouble back home."
She looked sad, holding back her tears... of sorrow... of hatred
"This... this place was my last resort. I think it still is.", the Siren looked to the horizon, "Remember my... lover? I came here, because I killed him. I killed him with my own hands and a few... tools."
That bastard... served him right... teach him to run around my back.
"But he deserved it... Ohh, he deserved every bit of it!", Lurlina's eyes blazed, white flames of hatred burning deep inside, "Let's just say I learned some of my... "questioning tricks" when I did it."
She looked at Guinevere, angry look on her face: "I'm not nice anymore, Guinevere. I wasn't back then, but I'm worse now...", she sighed deeply, "That's why... why Ike means so much to me, she-wolf... he's pure, innocent. He cares... Last night was the best sleep I ever had".
Looking towards the horizon again, Lurlina had few words left:
"Is it that wrong for me to like it?"

Guinevere frowned deeply at her words. She looked at her, eyes somewhat wide in a face that usually carried a blank, apathetic expression. Shocked. Almost as if hurt. But not for Lurlina.
"You killed... the one you loved?", she closed her eyes and inclined her head so that she was facing away from Lurlina. "How can you... How can you claim to have loved someone when you killed him?", she stood up slowly, careful due to her current situation. "No matter what he did, you said you loved him. Don't use that word uselessly. Love is more than a word. It's the only word that enables a human to barely understand the concept of passion, of lust, of care and of commitment all together.", she clenched her jaw softly and knit her eyebrows sadly.
"What if Ike was to betray you? Would you kill him? Even if you claim that he is so important. What if h does stay with us Wildcats? What if his innocence is lost? Will you still care if he won't? Or will you kill him?", she locked her eyes with hers and stood her ground.

Angry at Guinevere's reply, Lurlina stood up and meant to leave. Raising her hands to the sky, she brought them down abruptly and let out a groan of rage.
"Yeah, you're the big love doctor...", Lurlina's eyes shone with furious fire, "Betrayal... there's no words for what he did... that... that... kein hahn-saugendes stück des guten abfall [no good manthing-s.ucking piece of trash] did to me, Guinevere."
She walked to a tree, lowering her head, punching the old bark.
"I... I loved him, damn it. With all the heart I had at the time... no more, no less", a single tear running down her cheek, "and he... he was... just spaß haben [having fun] with me... plotting revenge... and... doing that weibchen..."
Her closed fists were shaking, her eyes pointed at the grass.
"He... I found them in the living room once...", the Siren let out a chuckle, "wonder what she thought when she found him".
Lurlina walked back to Guinevere, grabbed her by her collar and said to her face:
"How could I let him get away with it? I gave him my all, he gave me a bad placebo... I was cool, he liked pain... I gave him pain, but when he gave it to me... I made him come... to his senses", tears falling down her face, Lurlina went on, "I loved that idiot, Guinevere, there's not a day I don't curse myself for falling for him. He was all I wanted... and it was all a joke."
Still grabbing She-Wolf by her shirt's collar, Lurlina felt like showing her what he had endured on that night, but pushed that thought back.
"Do you think Ike will ever go that far!? Amuse himself with every single female wildcat, to get back at me!?", she shaked Guinevere violently, "Do you want him for yourself, is that what this is about!? Are you so f'ing desperate to fill that void inside you'd glomp a little boy!?".
Lurlina let go of Guinevere and got back up, distancing herself from the soon-to-be mother.
"I don't expect him to be like that forever, She-Wolf, I'm not stupid", Lurlina took her whip from her belt, holding it with her right hand,"he'll know pain *lash*, he'll suffer *another lash*, he'll dry his eyes crying *two lashes*... if he double crosses me... well, *lash* been there, *violent lash*, done that."
"But I don't want that, Guinevere, that boy deserves better than questions from me.", she looked down, a sad, shivering tone on her voice, "if he starts getting into treason... hide him, take him away... I've killed one loved one, I don't want that to happen again".
A searing white inferno blazed inside her eyes, an insane mix of rage, anger and sorrow across her usually-dazzling face.
"Can I get a promise on that, Guinevere?"

Guinevere narrowed her eyes and snarled almost like a wolf focusing to hunt down her prey. When released, she pushed Lurlina hard on the shoulders, hard enough to make anyone fall down on their butt.
"Don't ever dare to threaten me, Lurlina!", she hissed, looking down, furious, at the blonde girl. "Don't even think I'm here to serve you, or anyone for the matter. I just needed a safe place for...", she straightned up and shut up, pressing her lips against each other. "Don't tell me what to do. Don't think you can boss me around. I don't need your sympathy, your support, or your help. I don't need anyone. I'm an Omega. I don't do nothing. I am as neutral as it gets."
The pregnant girl cut her ranting by gasping and holding on to a nearby tree, raising one hand to her forehead, looking dizzy. She wiped her forehead shakily, feeling like she was going to vomit. "Go away.", she sighed, eyes closed, crossing her arms over her belly, as if protecting it.

"You dolt, you completely missed my last lines, didn't you?", replied Lurlina in a "God give me strength, she's that thick" mood.
"I ask you to keep Ike from harm should he push his luck, and you take it as a threat? Is your love-weight consuming your brain as well as your food?", said the Siren, an insulted look on her face, "I thought you, of all people, would know a thing or two about how precious life can be, but I see I was wrong. I'm disappointed in you, miss Russell, I really am."
Lurlina straightened her clothes, and started for her house, stopping to let out a few last words.
"I neither know NOR care why you're here, She-Wolf, but know that I could throw you into the pit for addressing a hunter like you just did. You see, insolence is not something our leader appreciates in her ranks.", putting on a perverse smile, Lurlina finished her speech, "But I know you didn't mean it, and I know you will do as I asked you to, should it come to that. While you may not like me for what I am, you will follow my order unquestioningly... Why?"
She brushed her hair back with one of her hands and answered her question:
"Because it'd be wrong not to!"
She winked at Guinevere, and left the park, singing some unknown song.
