Zuma's POV
"HELP!" Lucifer screamed at the top of his lungs. We jumped back after hearing him. Emma slowly goes up stairs, Ella following her. I follow after. We saw Lucifer in the fetal position, crying his eyes out. Ella rushed to him, trying to comfort him. I go over as well.
"Dude?" I asked the black Wolfdog. I stroked the back of his neck as Ella hugged him from behind. Emma picked him up, and them placed him on a couch. Emma felt his forehead.
"Oh my gosh!" She spoke, removing her hand. "He is burning up!"
"Lu..." Ella cried softly. I ran and got an ice pack for him. I placed it on his forehead, wanting something to happen. I looked at Emma, who was trying to wake him up.
He stirred a bit before waking up. He arose, looking sick. He coughed a bit before looking at us.
"My body is deteriorating." He spoke in a deep manner. "I'm going to another realm to fix this."
"Lucifer," Emma said in a caring manner. "you're sick, not dying."
"I... should've thought of that." He replied, looking embarrassed. "I'm getting a water."
"No, I got you!" I replied, denying him of being self-sufficient. I got him a glass of water. He downed it, asking for another one. He was not pleased with his predicament. His face proved that.
Ella spoke with a caring voice. "Can you make a portal to our realm please?"
Lucifer opened the portal, and Ella entered it.
"Wait... How long have you known to do that!?" I seethed as I realized we could have left any time.
"A long time." He answered weakly. He was never this vulnerable.
Ella comes back with some pills. Lucifer takes them, and he is back to normal?
"SCP-500. Heals any disease."
"Way to cheat sickness."
"I'm ready to leave this realm." Ella interjected.
We wave goodbye. I will miss the pets. We were home. It was nice, until I remembered about Skase and Evershall. We waited several hours for them to return. They returned eventually. We looked out the window and saw the pups doing something. We go outside, and see something I would never want to see.
