Ch. 44

As the Small Group emerged again, they were in another cave but only a few Dozen Miles away from where they were before. Since all but Doctor Sebastian hadn't travelled this way before, they took a minute or two to get their Barings.

Travis was the First to Say something. "Why do you keep taking things into your own hands?! We are here to Help you and Keep you Safe. Please just let us do this for you and don't worry about us we will be Fine and can Protect you Well."

Scarlet was in looking at no One unparticular and said, "He had the Energy of someone I knew on him."

That was what got their attention. She continued "I didn't use any energy and just made a deal with Rocky, but it should be impossible to have My Masters energy on him. He was supposed to have died almost 10 years ago. I got scared when I felt it and just needed to get out of there."

This shocked the Males and Travis just held her close and said some comforting words to her, before instructing the others to finish what they were doing and that they were leaving soon. Not understanding what he just herd, he only knew that he had to protect His Female because she was Scared. If that was true, then whatever it was must be Bad because She is so strong and fearless that nothing bothered her. He was not going to let her be scared and make sure that she Felt Safe.

Doctor Sebastian and Alex had the cart put together in no time and Alex was Just about to finish up Feeding Her. The Little Fuzzball was just left Laying in the corner being completely ignored and said, "Mommy how are you feeling?"

When Travis translated for her Scarlet started to tear up again and said "Mommy is sorry about everything. My Sweetest Bravest Baby you are so Brave."

He couldn't even feel happy about what his Mother said because she was upset and said that she was Scared. He wanted to go to her and have her hold him for comfort, but with her being sick he still couldn't go to her.

Travis seemed to notice this and changed his form and let her hold his Paw in place of her Pup.

Scarlet was soon moved into the cart and was packed up. They moved quickly with Travis still holding her and lying next to her. The Pup wanted to walk but Alex said that they needed to move fast, and he was put into a little bed that they made just for him.

They moved quickly and didn't stop even in after the Sun went down. The Group just continued during the Night and got them as far away as they could. It was a Little difficult when they were off the Main Trails, but when Doctor Sebastian made the cart, he made it to where they could also carry it when they needed to.

Scarlet Slept most of the way because of the day that she had, and the Males were Happy about that. She needed her rest to get better. They were also Happy that she Trusted them enough to let down her guard around them and sleep in the open.

When Scarlet woke up in the Early morning, she found herself Feeling Better but knew that she still was still Very Sick. Feeling very stiff she started to stretch and that was when Travis noticed that she was awake. Looking at her he said, "Hey there Little Spirit how are you feeling?"

Scarlet looked up at him with her eyes still closed and said "I'm still breathing so there's that. Hahaha."

Travis smiled and asked if she would like food or to get some more sleep. When she thought about it, she rolled over into her embrace and sniggled in. Clearly, she was still sleepy, and she wanted more rest. Scarlet decided to trust Travis and the Others and didn't keep up with the show of strength anymore. Before either of them knew it she was asleep again and had a Small Smile on her face.

When she woke up again, it was almost Noon, and she was happy to Smell food cooking. Opening her eyes, she said "Something smells Good."

Alex had a Huge Smile on his face and said "That's good because it is for You. Glad to see that you are Awake and have an Appetite."

Doctor Sebastian and Nick came in and Nick said "Wow Sleepyhead you're awake. The Pup is outside playing and will be happy to see You are up."

It was then that the Little Fuzzball decided to come in and was Hopping around Excitedly to see his Mommy awake. Scarlet just watched him, and Laughed as Travis helped her sit up.

Alex made Both of them a bowl. After he gave One to the Pup, he made his way over to Scarlet and said, "Open please."

After she opened Alex started feeding her and gave her the report of what happened while she was asleep. It turns out that they traveled Long Way and found this place when they least expected it. Just a small cave that didn't need much cleaning up and set up a Makeshift Shelter for the day. They planned to move Again After letting her Rest and Assessing how she was Faring with her Illness.

Scarlet processed what was being said while she was eating, and when she was done Travis took her out for some Sun time. She didn't have a Fever, but she was still sick, and the Sun felt wonderful. Feeling a little better Every day was good, but she felt like her Health was taking Forever to recover and she started to feel like she was Suffocating.

Seeing that she was upset Alex said "What's the matter? What has upset you, and what can we do to make you happier?"

Scarlet just looked on with a pouting expression and said "I just hate being sick. I feel Lazy and Useless. I just don't have any strength to do anything but sit around."

Laughing Doctor Sebastian said "We can help with that. All you need to do is tell us what you want to do and if it is not too Strenuous then we will let you do it. So, What would you like to do?"

Thinking about its Scarlet looked at them and said "Yoga wouldn't be too strenuous, and it can help me get better too. Just laying around is not good for the body. But…"

She Stopped before she got the chance to finish Travis Carefully coxed her to continue with the request.

After a taking a Deep Breath, she said "I want to take a Bath." When Scarlet finished her face turned red and she didn't know what to do except hide her face in the blanket. All the Males laughed, and Travis said, "Okay you can get your bath just don't stay in too long or you will get another Fever."

Scarlet peeked out of the Blanket and looked around Nick already had her cloths and something to dry off with. Taking a Deep breath, she asked the Elements to help her with her bath and within about Two minutes she was getting undressed and stepping into the hot bath. Taking a Deep breath and letting out a sigh. She was Happy to finally get to take a proper bath in piece.

Sadly, though she was only there for about Ten minutes when she was Interrupted Again. There was a group of about Three- Four Males out with their Female just to have fun. When they see Scarlet's Males, they were wiry about them and were ready to go on the defense if needed.

 The Leader of the invading Party came to the front his Eyes looking at the Odd group of Males. It's not often that One would come across a Tiger, Cobra, Tarantula, and Dragon traveling together. There was also a Scent of a Female around. Having his Own Female already he didn't need to Care if they had a Kidnaped Female and said, "I am Wesley, and we are part of the 'Blue Water Tribe', and you are Trespassing in our Territory you need to go now."

Alex walked up and said "We are just resting here to check on our Female. She is sick and you all need to leave and find a stream to wash off now. We have been giving her Medicine and she is getting better, but it is not safe for Your Female to be around here."

This Angered the others that they brought a Sick Female so close to their territory and that was when Scarlet had a Coughing fit and it made them even Angrier.

Getting out of the bath that she could no longer enjoy, because she was interrupted, and she started to feel bad thanks to being sick. Scarlet finished getting dressed and said "We are leaving tomorrow morning, and we are not in your Territory because it is about Four Miles in the direction that you came from. Now unless you want your Female to get sick you better leave and bath as soon as you are out of this area. Web Head give them the script just in case."

With that Wesley said "How dare you tell us what to do! What gives you the right? This is Our Territory, and you will be leaving now! The only way that we would even think about letting you stay the night is if you are the 'Great Spirit' which is Impossible." With a Cocky Look on his face, he thought that he had them.

Travis walked over to the bath and asked if she was ready to go back in for her nap. Wesley went off on him saying "Did you hear me? I said, 'Get Lost' Unless She is the 'Great Spirit'."

Scarlet said, "Do you know what she looks like?" Then brought the Wall Down and looked at them in the eyes and started coughing.

The group were all shocked when they saw Scarlet's Red Eyes and couldn't bring themselves to say anything else to them about leaving. It truly was the 'Great Spirit' and she Really was Sick.
