Chapter XV: Visiting Scarlett.

Sadie:

Date: June 15, 2020.

One morning after breakfast, I decided to visit Scarlett's house so that way I would get to meet and know more about them apart from what I was told.

Using the address that she had given me, I turned on the GPS on my phone, typed in the address and started to make my way over.
…
I made it to the house and placed the car in Park, exited it and locked it– after I exited my car, I took a good glimpse of the house from the metal fence surrounding it; it was a nice small house painted in white, the porch leading up to the front door was small with a chair that was on the right side of it. I went to my messages, went to Scarletts contact and sent a message: "I'm here." And sent it– Scarlett replied not long after saying: "Alright. It's okay to open the gate. My mom and I will meet you at the front door and my mom will check your temperature."

"Okay. Sounds good." I replied back, then I opened the gate and then closed it once inside and I made my way over to the front of the house, where the main door opened up where Scarlett and her mother were waiting. I went up the steps and looked at the two-Scarlett's mother was a beautiful vixen with red fur that matched to splotches on her face, black tipped ears, chin, and black spot around her eyes, a black tail, and green eyes. And I looked to see that Scarlett wore the same overalls she wore when we met at the park with a yellow shirt with orange stripes on it, a red crystal necklace, a black choker, and a homemade bracelet that said "Scarlett C" on it. "Hey Sadie, it's good to see you again." Scarlett said as I walked into the door. "And since we're here, mom, this is Sadie. The girl I met at the park five days ago." Her mother looked at me up and down before replying: "Welcome to the Cromwell residents, Sadie. I'm Amy Cromwell. But please, call me Mrs. Cromwell. And it's a pleasure to meet you."

Sadie: "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Mrs. Cromwell."

We then shook hands as a way of greeting each other. "Now, follow me to the living room and I will check your temperature." She continued, Scarlett and I followed her to the living room. As we walked, we went through the small pure white kitchen which then led to the main area; the dining room was near the kitchen close to the living room and the floor was made of Brazilian Redwood— there were two couches as well; one of them was brown and it stood against the window where a single person chair and foot recliner stood in between the sofa near the window and the one on the right side had a purple couch covering which had the pattern of a bandana. In the center stood a coffee table and on the right side against the wall was a black TV stand and a television that was hooked into the wall. "You girls can go and take a seat on one of the sofas while I go get the thermometer." She told me in a gentle voice, me and Scarlett sat down on the couch that was near the window and waited for Mrs. Cromwell to come back with the thermometer which did not take too long as she came back with an Infrared Forehead Thermometer. Then she placed it near my forehead and waited where, not long after, it began beeping. She looked at it and said: "98.6, you're good. But there is no harm into making sure."

Sadie: "That's true. And it's a relief to know that I don't have the virus because otherwise, I would be sick in bed, coughing and sneezing with my temperature being around 103 to 105 degrees unable to taste anything."

Mrs. Cromwell: "Which you don't and that is always a blessing. Trust me, it is. I work as a nurse at the local hospital."

Sadie: "Oh? You're a nurse at the Felicity Oak Hospital?"

Mrs. Cromwell: "Why, yes, I am. Why do you ask?"

Sadie: "I'm just saying because it's a bit of a coincidence because I have two friends whose mother works at the exact same hospital. You might or might not know her, but her name is Beatrice Bennett; she's the mother of my friends, Abigail and Bellatrix McConnell and their older brother, Darson."
