I swallowed the water left and sighed, this was getting difficult, the longer it was in her system the harder it would be on her small body in the end. "Alsaela," I cooed with a motherly and welcoming tone "Come on, you need to drink so you will feel better. It's just water I promise okay?" I said getting more in my mouth and trying to get her to drink a few more times.

She grumbled a bit more and accepted the water. Her tail twitched, still in pain from the attack. After swallowing the water, she turned her body away, coughing but not spitting it back up. she shuddered a bit, the calm feeling from the toxin quickly melting away and getting replaced by pain that was hidden. She whimpered loudly, half crying, half grumpy from being tired. She lay down clumsily, just uncomfortable from all the scratches, bites, thorn scrapes, and getting thrown a bit. She could hear the other Micros running around nearby, but she didn't want to interact with them yet. she kept crying, huffing and snorting, in pain. "C-cold" she whimpered finally.

Immediately I nuzzled Alsaela and brought her closer to my body. I couldn't use the hot rocks on her, they're too dangerous to use on such a small body. I cleaned her wounds and did my best to make some medicine to numb the pain. It would have to heal on its own for now but it shouldn't take long. Since she is still developing it will fix itself up nicely, I don't need to take such drastic measures as searing the skin. I wrapped my tail around her to try and keep her warm more.

Since I wasn't so focused on others I actually took the time to notice my right arm and hand were burnt. It was from sticking my arm in the boiling water and messing with the rocks so much. I sighed, the pain was bearable and I had to focus more on everyone else right now.

Oculta woke up, seeing Alsaela covered in scratches, along with Blu. Nightmare poured water into Blu's mouth, and Oculta watched as she quickly threw up after. Alsaela was laying on the ground, and Nightmare was helping her. I have to admit, Nightmare is a good raptor, even though she is slightly annoying sometimes. Her leg was burning slightly, but was able to be ignored. She rested her head on her rock and sighed, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

India who was still resting in the cave opened her eyes. She let out a screech when she felt her side, It had somehow re-opened and she was slowly loosing blood. India tried to lick the wound but her siliva was salty. She screeched again in pain, where was everyone?!

I sighed, "Blu can you keep Alsaela warm while I take care of India?" I asked. She had her back to us, so she wouldn't tell we were there too. I got up and grabbed the rocks, thankfully they were still hot enough. I went over to India and noticed it thankfully had only opened a little. "We are right behind you," I said coming in front of her with the rocks. "once again, this is going to hurt," I said then carefully put one of the wounds but letting it sit longer so the skin was more seared. I took it off after it had seared part of the inside of the wound. No more blood would come out but it would prevent the wound from healing correctly so it would look nasty. "It's not going to heal properly so It will be a nasty scar. I will go make a paste that will numb the pain," I said getting up and going to gather plants.

(Fruit Lovers, sure!)

India-SIC-6

India held her breath when she had to get her wound seeled again, she knew before Nightmare said it. She was going to have a large scar on her side. "Thank you for doing this Nightmare, is the pack doing okay?" India asked looking up at Nightmare, not knowing what had happened.

The wind shuffled through the trees, snapping a few weak branches, and twisting the waters in the river. The gallimimus corpse was discovered by a pack of compys, so now there was no point of getting it for the pack. Utahraptors found the multiple bodies of their fallen comrades, and only one thing filled their mind. Vengeance. As for Alsaela's father, he traveled further from where he encountered That useless rat he once knew as his offspring. His mate and he had left the pack many months ago, a week after her birth. They didn't want the child, nor did they want to be responsible for breaking multiple pack rules. They left, as traitors, thieves, and liars. they had hoped the child would have been killed, as they didn't want her to burden the pack as they thought she would. They were narcissistic, seeing no wrong in themselves. In their eyes, the pack betrayed them. He and his mate had stuck around in the large territory, mostly to keep an eye on the pack, but also to plan something. They never thought the pack would keep Alsaela alive, and him seeing her running around was a shock and anger. They traveled a bit further, still keeping hidden and hiding their tracks. Meanwhile, the gallimimuses were speeding through one of the valleys, migrating a bit for more food and a new stream. Utahraptors had attacked them too, and everyone was just trying to survive.

"You're welcome. They are a little loopy because they had a run-in with some Compys but otherwise they should be fine." I told India "They are behind you out of your peripheral vision." I explained "Alsaela isn't doing too well, so she might take a little bit to get better and on her feet," I explained. I wondered why Khazhak was, I hadn't seen him since this morning. It was a little worrying with everything going on but I tried to focus on the pack.
