Ran - Unusual Happenings

26

You keep going through the rain as you look for a shelter, you had slowed down a bit as visability was poor as you pass an area after driving through the rain for what felt like hours you notice a metal shine as the lightning lights the area, stopping you move over to it and see it's an old car lot seeing a open area you go in and sigh.

Setting up and lighting two fires you remove the coats from you all and hanging them to dry, placing the fencing out you allow the animals some freedom, you shiver and make a green tea with ginger and honey, you check the animals and dry them off the best you can they all move closer to the fire as you bring the trough out and put in some water.

Grabbing the buckets you place them out to collect the water and look up with a frown coming back you say "we move on tomorrow even if it's raining" you sort food for you all as you sip at the tea, feeling the affects of the ginger warming the body you place more water on as you set up the tent.

Finding warmer clothes as you set up the bowl to have a wash, scrubbing your hair and body as you sit in the tent, drying off and wearing the warmer clothes you check the buckets and flinch as they are already full, filling the barrels then placing the bucket back out, serving the soup and roasting some meat as you all sip the warming soup.

It was an instant soup you had found somewhere it wasn't bad, meat done you portion it out to the five of you and looked down kissing them then going to the others and doing the same, patting the new one as you check the halter they wore, brushing them all down as you give pats and strokes, done you sigh as you have a look around when you came back you heard a weird noise.

The dogs stiffened as the cat and kitten snapped their heads in a direction you grabbed your knife as you cuss up a storm a pack, crowd of rats made for you all, grabbing your knives you started to slash as they came closer the dogs attacked along with cat, the kitten was doing their best.

Hearing beating you saw the horses and goats stamping them, as the chickens were using their claws to swipe at them, you snarl as you keep slashing and cutting until the tide finished you look down and scream in pure frustration, cleaning the corpses and moving them to a corner you burn them with a growl.

Grabbing buckets of water you splashed the floor then cleaned you all down, checking for wounds and using the homemade booze as a disinfectant, you grab another bucket and splash the last of the blood on the floor, putting the bucket back out as you checked the area, sitting down you take a breath in then count to 10 letting it go.

Hanging your head as your crowded by your babies, smiling with tears in your eyes as you hug them all and say "thank you for staying with me" they all make noises as you huff and wipe your tears, then take a cleansing breath you grab the fabric and make some cushions and curtains, to keep busy and relax.

Ran had looked out and decided to go back to the mountain as he had some of each plant also a few sacks of the soil as he started the truck the lights caught on something he twitched, then checking the area drove over as he reached the thing he stopped and stared.

Thinking then driving closer he placed the sheet over his head and tried the door it opened he went in and saw it was nearly new grinning and checking the tyres he hummed as they also seemed okay, reversing the truck he connected it and laughed, driving off he checked behind and saw it follow nicely.

He drove long into the evening when he started up the mountain road he flinched at the water pouring off the sides, he kept going up slowly and constantly checking behind as he did, reaching the stopping point he sighed as he pulled in, the three hearing the vehicle grabbed their coats and came out when they saw the truck they smiled.

As he pulled in they saw what was attached they all jerk and chuckle getting down he rushed to the van they were in and said "I got the plants and veg then the weather happened. I was going to wait it out when I thought sod it then the lights caught that and I thought, a place for her here permanently?" the three all look at him and laugh.

He frowns "bad idea?" shaking his head Mikey says "a great idea. But you thinking of her that much?" Ran flushed and said "it was a passing thought" they all snicker and nod as he looked away and groaned, Rindou says "what about her van?" shrugging "she doesn't have to accept this and hers can be used when she goes traveling".

Mikey laughs then says "okay so I had an idea just not sure how to implement it?" they look at him in question, he replies to he unasked question "a cover over the homes so we can go between each other in the snow?" they all think about it and nod "not sure how to do it, but it's a great idea" replies Sanzu, Mikey huffs "well we have a few months to think about it".

As they start to think and plan you were laying in the tent uptight and restless, having a few hours sleep you get up before the sun, making a flask of double strength coffee and packing up all of you were wanting out of here, placing the coats on you all and covering what needs to be covered, you collect the buckets, then leave with the flick of the reins.
