Clearing his throat, Nick continued "Travis, Alex, Doctor Sebastian, and I have the only Female that can prove our innocence so easily." Touching her head with his huge palm, he Finished "Nothing can separate us." Then lifted her up and placed her on the couch in the Sitting Area holding her close to not only comfort her but himself as well.
Elder Chef Blaze said "I do apologize that you have been put in this situation not only Once but Twice now, and in such a short time. I will have a talk with my clan and let them know that there will be no tolerance for this behavior again."
With that he escorted Jessie out of the room and promised that her and her family would be punished for the 'False Accusations' that were made.
Scarlet couldn't sleep after that visit and had Doctor Sebastian clean her body and wounds again. She had to get the medicine that Jessie had given her off of her body as quickly as she could. With what just happened she was completely unable to deal with the feeling of it on her body a Second longer.
When Doctor Sebastian finished cleaning and rebandaging her, Scarlet held on to all her Males and they reassured her that they were with her, saying that she was safe and together.
They stayed together until after dawn and Scarlet was arguing that she wanted to leave the whole time. Nick and Doctor Sebastian informed her that things like this were normal and that all they had to do was stay together.
With her 'Lie Detector' as she called it, there was nothing that could separate them. They all kissed her head, cheeks, hands, and arms trying to calm her down. With the Winter coming it was too late for them to leave and find another safe place to stay.
Scarlet still felt panicked, and Alex tried to soothe her as best he could through the Bond. Through the connection he could still feel the fear coming through, which was more than likely triggered by the possibility of losing someone from her Family again. The feelings that just kept pouring through were almost too much for him to be able to handle.
Doctor Sebastian finally had to give her something to help her relax and sleep. Nick had the group huddled together on the other side of the room. Leaving Alex being the only One holding Scarlet because they wanted to talk about what options were available to them and he could tell Doctor Sebastian if he needed to give her more medicine.
After they discussed the issues for most of the Morning, they found that they didn't have many options left open to them. Scarlet didn't trust the Elder Chef and the only other person that they came into contact with, someone that could be a friend to her and help her adapt, ended up trying to steal Doctor Sebastian. So other than staying in this room for the Cold Moons, there was not much of a chance for her to get out and explore the rest of the clan.
It was better to be in a place like this because Cave Madness was something real and many Females fell victim to it over the years. They wanted a place for her to be able to explore and not be exposed to the elements, the caves were connected and covered a great distance. They wanted to stay here so that she wasn't staring at the same walls for the Three Cold Moons.
It was almost Noon when Scarlet started to stir and when she finally stretched and woke up, Doctor Sebastian decided to change her bandages because it was better to test her mood with doing something that was routine.
Alex motioned that she was feeling better, but they needed to be careful and not set her off again. If they got another visitor, there was no telling how she would take it. They were going to stay inside and pray that no One decided it would be a good idea to stop by.
Fate was once again against them though when there was a knock on the door. Scarlet knew who was there but told them not to open the door. She told them to talk through the door instead.
Nick went up to the door and called out "Who's there?"
Elder Chef Blaze's voice could be heard from the other side, and he said "I'm just here to check on everyone. Is it alright to talk face-to-face?"
Nick replied, "Sorry Elder Chef, I can't open the door. With all that has happened the 'Great Spirit' is not interested in visitors right now."
Being taken back by that answer he said "I wanted to apologize for what happened yesterday with that silly little mistake. I hope that the 'Great Spirit' didn't think that I was against her in any way. As the leader I need to remain Neutral when there are accusations like that. If I could just have a word with the 'Great Spirit' I'm sure that I can make her understand that…"
Nick cut him off and said "I'm sorry Elder Chef, but she is resting now because she was so upset last night. She was not well before the visit, and she was worse after. The 'Great Spirit' won't allow us to open the door or leave. When she is up, I will let her know that you have stopped by and relay your message as well. This is the best that I can do."
