Dragon Offering

(oh yes why coudln't i think of this! oh then there wouldn't be broken egg shells inside of him since he'd just miscarry one baby? LOL maybe the miscarried one would appear almost like a lizard. but as the remaining 2 babies grow, they will shed their resemblance to a tiny dragon and become almost like a normal human baby?)

Mila flinched when her arm was clutched. Caleb's wrist was appearing rather thin, the stress and preganncy had him borderlining on malnutrition. Mila gasped, almost jumping forward to cover Caleb's mouth but it was too late. The men following them - their father included - already heard what Caleb shouted out in his frustration and their looks turned from suspicious to feared, then to fury.

"what this is impossible!" "wait didn't you hear Caleb's one of those 'weird' ones... " "that dragon! we can't let him have its offspring! Kill him!!"

There were all kinds of whispers. Mila sensed danger and she desperately flung away Caleb's hand. "let go of me!" she exclaimed, worrying for her own life. "i don't want to be killed with dragon babies!" she cried and scurry away once she got free of him.

Behind them, some of the villagers had already raised their sticks, about to attack.
