Chapter Four
That night, while I was watching for my guardian, or whatever it was, I found myself nodding off. Maybe I had not been getting quite enough sleep lately. I was tired. I had to admit that to myself, but still I watched for the creatures. They were out there, but this time things changed.
I saw the fight from the moment it started. Two large bodies flying at each other through the brush. I could hear the howls and yowls, the screeches and scratches. I squinted, wanting to see more as the fur started to fly through the air. A bit of fur actually flew all the way up to the third floor window where my apartment was. It was golden brown and soft. The fight continued and I didn’t know what to do. I knew that I was pregnant, but there wasn’t much that I could do about the situation.
