"It's Aero and Tally." Lilly immediately tells Harry and I who look to each other with worry.
*Max's P.o.V*
"What's the matter with them?" I ask Lilly when I look back at her. She just waves her hand towards her signaling us to follow her.
Lilly leads us up the stairs and to the bedroom where Harry and I had our steamy session. My face heats up just thinking about what happened and what almost happened. When Lilly opens up the door, Aero and Tally are just beet red and shivering.
"What's wrong Aero?" I ask her and she slowly opens her eyes to look at me.
"I don't know. It just happened all of the sudden." Aero shakily says while catching her breath between words. I start to go near Tally to comfort her but Harry grabs my arm to stop me so I turn around with a scowl.
"We don't know if whatever they have is contagious." Harry warns me.
"If it is then we will get it sooner or later anyways," I tell him and he lets go of me because he knows I'm right. I rush to Tally's side and grab her hand while moving her damp hair away from her face. She isn't even holding Berry which means that she feels horrible. I pick up Berry from the ground and put her beside Tally to give her a little bit of comfort.
"Get them some water," I tell either Lilly or Harry but they both leave.
"No water." Tally finally speaks up.
"Why not? It'll help you because you need to be hydrated." I inform her but she doesn't respond.
Lilly comes back up with four bottles of water. I thank her then she leaves the room, probably to avoid getting sick. When I open a bottle and move it close to Tally's mouth, she swats at it which makes me spill less than half of it.
"Tally, you have to drink it." I tell her with concern and she gives up because of her lack of energy. I elevate her head and tilt the bottle into her mouth. She gulps some so I shut the lid and go over to Aero and do the same.
After when both have drunk both of their bottles, I decide to head back downstairs to let them rest.
"How are they?" Kay asks with his palm on his cheek and I just sigh.
"They drunk both of their bottles so that's a good sign," I inform him and he gives me a thumbs up. Fox comes down the stairs with Dagmar latched onto his arm.
"Are we all ready?" He asks and I shake my head no.
"Aero and Tally are sick with something," I tell him and he just lightly chuckles.
"They can just stay here and die for all that I care. Plus we don't need what they got." He scuffs and takes a seat on the couch with Dagmar beside him.
"We will already have it if they're showing signs so we're all going to get if probably." I sigh while playing with the fringes on my bandages.
"We need to leave because the sooner we leave, the quicker we can find more supplies if we run out of these." Dagmar says and she's right so I nod.
"Can't we just stay one more night to see if they get better? I mean, Max is forcing them to drink two bottles of water every hours." Lilly tells Fox and I mouth her no so she just shrugs. I don't want him knowing that I'm giving them two bottles of water each hour.
"That goes on your water supply if they die." Fox tells me then gets up with Dagmar to get some fresh air.
"You just keep on getting rationed don't ya?" Kip asks me with a laugh so I just go in the kitchen to get some more water for the girls.
