Talulla ran weakly through the rain to the Animal Clinic, leaving a small trail of mercury as she tried her hardest to not drip too much on the ground. She was drenched with water by the time she had reached it, nearly passing out as she walked through the front door. "Scott!"
She falls to the floor before Scott gets to front of the clinic, "Talulla!" He runs to her, picking her up body up off the floor and carrying her bridal style to where Hayden, Liam, and Theo are packed together.
Liam panics as he looks over at the older girl, "What happened?"
Short of breath, Talulla explains, "I was going to tell you guys, I swear, I was going to tell everyone. But nobody was talking to each other, and I was scared."
Scott sets her body down softly, just a little ways away from Hayden, "That doesn't matter, Lulu. You're here, you're going to be okay."
Talulla smiles weakly, holding tightly on to Scott's hand. Though, in the back of her head she realizes that nobody came back fine as they turned to this point.
After hours of laying on the ground, weak and shivering in her soaking wet clothes, Melissa arrived at the Animal Clinic. The boys had lifted both the girls, laying them each on separate metal tables they'd cleared off. Talulla stirred, watching as Melissa and Scott gathered supplies.
