Chapter 3 - Through the MIST - 3

Amidst speculations and rumors, the Mist pack was reached by neighboring packs with words of sympathy and worry but those kindly passed words were unseeable loads of pressure. As the time tick-tacked and flowed as always, more and more people were getting anxious, someone's bare line of vain hope was vanishing away, but one that should return would have returned anyway.

And so, how no one expected even people with hopes, Gloria returned, unscathed but disheveled. Words spread fast, she was already the focus of everyone, but as the curious gazes multiplied by the second, she calmly walked toward her home as if her return was not weird at all and as if her returning with someone completely unconscious at that was even a normal thing. Despite that no one approached her, unsure of what a person back from there would be like, was she even sane?

When she reached her home finally, she fell on her knees as if they couldn't hold the weight of hers anymore but despite that her hold on the unknown girl she had brought back with didn't losen. Even with great endurance Gloria felt her eyes blacking out but before that she could make some figures running towards her hastily, so she smiled with satisfaction before passing out still engulfing the unknown girl.

Sima and Julia rushed by her side, taking them into the house. 

As soon as the two passed out figures were settled in the couch, people were rushing in. Almost every elders were present, some came with relieved breath, some with displeasure but most were bewildered more than anything, 'How is it possible?' everyone had the same question as no one talked but looked at Gloria and someone who no one knew of.

There was a long state of silence, so whom to ask when one with the answers was still not awake? 

Finally the silence was broken off as the doctor entered and greeted the elders and the family, proceeding to check up on the unconcious ones.

In the living room where numerous people have again went into silence, the doctor silently did his things, after finally administering both of them with IV drops, he said to everyone present there.

"They seems to be too exhausted so, they need abundant amount of rest"

The meaning was clear even if the words were not uttered, all of them exited the house one by one, bidding the family as they left.

When the house was emptied out, Sima and Julia noticed that the crowd outside had also subsided, with simultaneous sigh they closed the door, and were finally content watching Gloria's face. Everything was so hectic, that it took them this long of a time to let out relieved breath and tears of joy.

Something unusual happened and the day ended for everyone with something to talk on.
