Alex was almost there when she looked at him and said "Don't. I know him." At the speed that he was going making a sudden stop was nearly impossible and he ended up not only tripping and falling but sliding on the ground for a good Twenty yards before coming to a stop.
This made Travis and Doctor Sebastian 'who had finished changing' start laughing so hard they had to hold their sides, and Scarlet just looked at him shaking her head as she walked over to check on him. Alex was just getting up when she made it to him, looking all sorts of embarrassed. He couldn't even say anything because it happened in front of His Female and avoided her gaze.
She said, "Let me look." He stood there like a statue as she looked him over and when she was done, she said "Your fine let's go." Alex followed her into the cave along with Travis and Doctor Sebastian. As they sat around the fire the air was tense and awkward. As the food was cooking and Scarlet was feeding her Pup she said, "So what was it that you wanted to show me?"
Doctor Sebastian smiled and said, "I was looking for more interesting plants and came across this." What he pulled out of his bag was the strangest plant that she had ever seen. It was so weird and reminded her of a piece of Coral from a tropical environment. She had no idea what it was, so she started questioning him about where he found it and the environment it was found in.
Turns out it was found in the High Mountains, but it was in an area that was warm and a little humid. That was the part that caught her attention. When she asked where this mountain was it turned out that it was close to where they were now. The final question for him was how he knew that they were there. That question caught the other Males' attention as well. Doctor Sebastian looked at Scarlet and said, "That is a secret of my Nest, but if you would be my Female then I can answer all of your questions."
Scarlet looked at the wall and said, "He tracked and followed me here, bringing the plant to have an excuse to talk to me, right?" in French, and when she finished the wall didn't do anything. Both Alex and Doctor Sebastian were looking at her like she was crazy, but Travis knew what she was doing. Doctor Sebastian was about to ask what was happening, when Inferno the Fire Spirit made himself known by becoming big and moving in his own way thus scaring everyone but Scarlet and Travis.
Even though he had never seen the other Elements Travis still knew about them, he just got a shock from this One's entrance. Inferno answered Scarlet's question and died back down leaving her Laughing so hard that she was rolling around on the ground. This confused both Alex and Doctor Sebastian completely. Travis was less confused than them because he knew more but was confused about what they were saying.
After she finally recovered, she was wiping the tears. When she seen the looks on their faces, she cracked up all over again. Finally, Scarlet caught her breath and got around to saying, "Well I don't know how much of a secret that is, but you should try visiting the world a little more."
With all that happened in the last few minutes from the Fire coming to life to hearing her laugh, all the males were happy to see her smile and hear her laugh. They would be willing to do anything and always say and do stupidly random things if that was what it took to make her happy.
After what Scarlet said sank in Doctor Sebastian's face turned redder than a cherry and she laughed again but felt bad for laughing in the end. She said, "Sorry for laughing but that secret is pretty basic from where I'm from."
This got their attention and both Alex and Doctor Sebastian tried to probe into where she was from and who and what she was. She would answer some questions vaguely and some in detail, throwing in her own question every so often. As the food was ready, they decided to dig in. Travis looked at the food and said "Why is there so much food? I didn't make that much; I just did what we did last night, like I knew that you would."
Scarlet just shrugged and said "I'll give you Three guesses. Ha ha ha" Like before Alex and Doctor Sebastian looked confused but, in the end, Alex said, "It was you." "Wrong" she said. Travis said, "The Earth Spirit?" "So, you didn't need Three." Scarlet said with a giggle.
Doctor Sebastian was looking at Travis and wondered "What is their connection? The Tiger seems to know a LOT about His Little Female and things that she is involved with. Well, it seems that I need to get rid of him as soon as I can. He can't be with His Female." "She will like him more and he will be her favorite. He can't stay around he needs to go." Alex was thinking of things along the same line and out of nowhere, mid bite neither One of them could move.
Scarlet knew what was going on when they stopped moving, but Travis was in the dark. She said, "It's what you get when you have bad thoughts." It was then that Travis had an idea of what they were thinking. She said "Just to let you all know. You all will be leaving after the food is finished."
Alex was still unable to move but he was now able to speak he said "What if you get hot again? You are still bleeding, and I just want to make sure that you are okay. Please just let me stay with you until you're better. I could bring down the heat in your body."
