In the dark, under a strange-looking tree, a lady around twenty-something could be seen clenching her stomach and looking pitiful. She seemed to be in pain and was breathing heavily.

Above her in the sky, the color was very black and blurry. Rain started falling, and the thunder was clapping loudly and violently. The wind was very thick, slapping everything harshly.

The lady stood with the support of the tree, using one hand to prop herself against the tree and the other hand to hold her stomach tightly. She breathed out and continued moving weakly.

"Seems like I'm not going to escape this. What type of poison is this?" she wondered.

She unbuckled her belt to relieve some pain, then sat down somewhere and groaned while her hand wandered around on the wet ground until it made contact with something.

She picked it up and saw the object with the help of the lightning. The thing was round like a bead, and something joined them together.

She did not care about what it was and just swallowed it. She was going to die anyway, at least she ate something.

She could not figure out the taste of the thing, but it was surely not normal because as soon as it made contact with her throat, it felt very hot, as if she had drunk hot water that had not cooled.

"Sh*t! Even in death, my luck is still very bad," she muttered.

She was still lamenting when her aching stomach suddenly stopped aching. She did not have the chance to rejoice when her stomach started swelling up, getting bigger and bigger. It was as if it wanted to burst but, alas, it didn't. She could feel herself in labor.

She groaned until something escaped her body - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. She was relieved from both the poison pain and her swollen stomach pain.

When she looked at what she had given birth to, she was shocked.

Eggs.

She had given birth to eggs.

And there were six.

What happened to the eggs? How did their journey begin?

Beasts to Beauties: A Mother's Unearthly Gift

Of course Emmy did not faint due to stress or because of Angel claiming to be Dimitri's future bride. Emmy's faintness was the handiwork of Cat; she made her faint because she could feel Emmy experiencing complicated emotions and was worried, and secondly, this served as a reminder of her existence. The beasts understood this and could only sigh in frustration. 


By the time Emmy woke up, it was already bright in the morning. She sat up and fixed her gaze on her three children who were sleeping by the side of the bed. They seemed to be ready for class as they were already dressed and prepared. Looking at the room's arrangements, she knew that this was the girls' dormitory that she had specially gotten for her children. The previous day's events replayed in her head and she couldn't help but worry again. "It seems like I will have to test those that my children decide to marry, to avoid unwanted trouble," she thought to herself. 


I had an accident
