She couldn't see.

She couldn't see, she couldn't hear, she couldn't smell, she couldn't feel.

There was only the rain. That was all. It was in her eyes, in her mouth, everywhere.

She wasn't quite sure where she was.

A sudden gust of wind attempted to steal her hat, but she grabbed it and pulled it so far down over her head that it covered her eyes. It made no difference to her vision.

Not today storm, she mentally hissed, you might have taken away my senses and my dignity, but you are most certainly NOT taking my mushroom beanie.

She clutched her coat; her fingers were numb. Her feet ached and her brain felt fuzzy. Come on, Shrub, you can do this. You have to get to Katherine's.

But the fuzz in her brain got louder and louder. She was so cold. So, so cold.

Then everything went black.

~~~

A gentle humming brought Shrub to her senses.

She slowly opened her eyes, and when she realised where she was, she sat up quickly (maybe too quickly, she thought as a headache threatened to appear).

She was lying on a light-coloured sofa padded with sheep's wool, a small smiling sheep plushie resting on the arm. A fireplace lit up the room, accompanied by dozens of scented candles. Flowers decorated the walls, windowsills, even the floor.

A delightful smell reached her nose, making her ears perk up.

A figure stood in the doorway, holding a mug of something with a smile on their face. "You're awake."

They approached Shrub and sat down beside her, offering her the mug.

She was more than happy to take it.

"Oh, Katherine, I've never been so relieved to see someone in my life!"
She grinned as she inhaled the hot chocolate's heavenly scent.

Katherine laughed. "Why, thank you, I'm flattered!"

She scratched Shrub's ears as the wolf-hybrid began to drink, making her tail thump rhythmically against the sofa. She finished the drink with a contented sigh. Katherine raised an eyebrow.

"Five and a half seconds, my goodness, that's a new record!"

Shrub stuck her tongue out as the sheep-hybrid giggled.

But then Katherine's twinkling violet eyes became serious.

"Shubble Shroom."

Oh dear God, thought Shrub. Katherine had called her by her full name. Not even that, she had called her Shubble. Only her parents called her that.

"Yes...?"

"What on earth where you doing wandering about in weather like that?"

The brunette's ears twitched with embarrassment. "Looking for you...?"

"Well, you didn't, did you? I found you. And I dare'nt think about what would have happened if I hadn't..." Katherine's anger faded away, tears pricking at her eyes.

Guilt nagged at Shrub, making her wrap her arms around the other. "Don't think about that. I'm fine. Look at me, I'm absolutely fine!"

Katherine sniffed, looking the wolf-hybrid up and down.

"I don't know, you look kind of funny to me..."

"Oi!"

She giggled as she was hit by a cushion. "As much as I would love to absolutely thrash you in a pillow fight, you, young lady, need to get changed."

Shrub glanced down at herself and realised she was still in her wet clothes.

"There's an outfit upstairs for you to put on."

~~~

The cardigan and long flowing dress were way too big for Shrub, and she knew it. But she didn't care.

The two sat on the sofa, watching the fire in the grate.

Katherine wrapped her arms around Shrub's waist and pulled her onto her lap.

"You're an idiot." She murmured into the other's hair.

The brunette's tail began to wag as she turned around to hug the sheep-hybrid. "Yeah, but I'm your idiot."

"Damn right you are."

Okay I love them so much-

Can you tell that I was drinking hot chocolate whilst writing this?
