I rise from the bed and look at the clock

I rise from the bed and look at the clock. Oh, looks like I slept in. I usually wake up at 7am. It's now noon.

'Hello?'

'Hey, Scarlett, how is everything?' Elenora asks.

'I'm alright, currently with the pack.'

'Did you sleep there?'

'Yes, I'll be moving East tomorrow morning. I ended up twisting my ankle and now I can't apply pressure on it.'

'Okay, as long as you're alright.'

'I am, I have to go now.'

'Good luck.'

'Thank you.' I respond and close the link.

I get up from bed and see some clothes folded on a chair in the corner of the room with a note on it.

Wear this today, I'll wash your clothes for tomorrow.
-Justin
P.S I'll be in the living room waiting for you.

I take the clothes and hop to the bathroom.

After a shower, change of clothes, and fresh breath, I use the crutches and make my way to the living room.

Before I can even look for Justin, something flies straight into my face.

I pull it back and stare.

Flora?

"Well look who's finally awake." I hear someone say. I look up and see my best friend leaning on the back of the couch with his arms crossed. He's wearing his warrior gear.

On the couch he's leaning on, sits Justin with a foot crossed over lying on his knee and an arm draped across the top back of the couch while slightly facing me. He's in blue jeans and a light pink sweatshirt.

"Randy?" I gasped.

"What's this?" He points to my foot. I look down and turn to face Justin. He gives me a one sided shrug and a grin.

"How are you here?" I ignored his question.

Randal pushes himself off the couch and tilts his head.

"Well," he uncrosses his arms and walks over to me. "I woke up this morning to someone knocking on the front door. Turns out it was a pack warrior who was told by Justin that I should be here."

I look over to Justin and he removes his arm from the couch and sets his chin on it instead.

'Cute pup.'

"Come here, I got you." Randal holds his arms out. I set the crutches against the wall and let Flora go in the air. He quickly scoops me up and takes me to the couch where Justin sits.

"Good afternoon, Scarlett." Justin finally speaks.

"How did the pack warrior find you so fast?" I turn to Randal.
