The group that was so casually left behind was still sitting on the couches, trying to get their Emotions under control, as they waited for the Ones in the bedroom to fall asleep.
They all felt horrible for allowing their thoughts and feelings to become too out of control. The group knew that they had messed up, but this is the First time that all of them had messed up at the same time.
Travis kept his voice low as he said "We need to make it up to her tomorrow. If we don't come up with something good. She could be in a bad mood when she wakes up and that would put stress on the Young."
Doctor Sebastian looked from Nick to Alex and asked, "What is she feeling now?"
Alex and Nick both closed their eyes to concentrate on Scarlet's feelings. Since they didn't want to wake her, they didn't pull to hard on the connection like they have done in the past and eased into it. When they opened their eyes, it was Alex that spoke First and said, "I feel at peace." He took a breath and went on to say, "There was nothing that would signify that she is still upset with us right now."
Nick spoke up then and said "I'm not picking up on anything either but that doesn't mean that she will wake up like that. With her nightmares…"
Nick stopped speaking and they all looked towards Young Chef Josh, who just looked at them with a questioning look on his face. He threw his hands up and said "I am not here and will never speak even under pain of death. If it would help, there will be a gathering tomorrow to mourn the loss of those that were lost in the war. If you want, you can have the Great Cavern Lake to yourselves at that time and she will be able to play with no One else to interrupt her fun."
The group looked at him in shock that soon became suspicion.
Young Chef Josh knew what they were thinking and quickly said "I just want to help her in any way that I can. The 'Great Spirit' has helped us escape the clutches of the Strange Males twice now. Even if I thought of her like that, do you really think that I would never have a chance to get her?"
The question didn't even occur to them. Travis cleared his throat and said "So, the Great Cavern Lake huh?"
Young Chef Josh chuckled and said "Yes, the Great Cavern Lake is a huge underground lake that is warmed by the ground, and it is relaxing. It is said that it is Spiritual and will heal those that truly need it. The advisors wouldn't let any commoners come near it. It is said that it is a Holly place and very beautiful."
Nick chimed in and said, "It is a place that everyone wishes to get a glimpse of yet know that there is nothing that they can do to be allowed to go there."
As soon as Nick finished speaking Rocky made himself known to those in the room. They all noticed him, and Nick was the First to address him "Rocky, to what do we owe this Honnor?"
An outer layer of Sand fell from all around him and all of them just stared at him. None of them could understand it when the Spirits spoke like Scarlet could and were at a complete loss when it came to him saying that.
Travis was the One that spoke up and said "I'm sorry Rocky but we can't understand you like Little Spirit does. Is there another way for the message to be delivered?"
It was then that they heard a voice say, "It was a message for me." Scarlet's voice was hurd from the bedroom door. Even though they all ran to her, the closest One reached her First. Doctor Sebastion was that One and he scooped her up into his arms completely not caring about the fact that she was upset with them earlier.
He held her close and spoke calmly "What is it my Love? Is everything okay? Is there anything that I can do?"
She wrapped her arms around him and said "It's nothing that you need to worry about. Can you guys come to bed please?"
They all had shocked looks on their faces and were quick to agree to go to bed with her. Without even saying 'Good Night' to Young Chef Josh they all quickly got into the room and closed the door to keep him out and hopped into bed with her.
Not One of them wanted to question anything and happily lay with their Female. Scarlet looked up at Doctor Sebastian and said "I woke up and you weren't here. Can you not let go. I had a Nightmare."
Doctor Sebastian said "I'm sorry my Love. It won't happen again."
Scarlet snuggled deeply into his embrace and fell asleep quickly, feeling completely safe and at ease.
The next Morning the group got out of bed and found that Young Chef Josh had already left. Rocky gave them the message that Young chef Josh asked if he could deliver. It turns out that he had to leave and take care of Clan business, and that they could go to the spot at any time."
Scarlet had no idea what he was talking about and when she asked them, they all said the same thing 'That she would find out soon'. This peaked her interests and when she asked the Elements, they also gave the same answer.
This was leaving her with nothing but curiosity and wondered what was so important that no One could tell her what it was. All that she was told was 'Finish your breakfast and you will find out.' So, she finished as fast as she could excited for her big surprise.
After breakfast she seen Travis with a bag and was told not to ask any questions as they gathered up to take a trip. It was Nick that said, "Rocky can you please send us to the big surprise?"
As they arrived at the big surprise Scarlets eyes widened and her mouth dropped at the sight before her.
