You woke up the next morning with Criss snuggled tightly around you...you gently pushed his hair from his eyes and moved slightly over trying not to wake him as you went to your bag to get something to eat. He quickly jumped up when he felt you gone, and looked around wondering where he was at...then he remembered. You jumped back very quickly from your bag but you weren't fast enough the scorpion that was hiding in your bag had stung you on the top of your hand. Criss ran to you and checked out your hand, then noticed the scorpion by your bag trying to crawl away, but Criss stomped it. He ran to the nearest aloe plant and pulled it open and placed it on the sting...then wrapped it with one of your white shirts.
You both ate and picked everything up and kept moving...You began to get very sick, but Criss kept you moving...for he knew if you kept stopping one time you wouldn't be able to get back up. He kept you in positive thinking telling you that you were gonna be fine...but deep down he was afraid for you. You and Criss walked for many days...each day was harder for you to motivate. After 7 days in the Desert, Criss saw a familiar location he did many of his demonstrations here...and that you and he were in fact very close to his home Serenity!!
Criss got so excited he picks you up over his shoulder and carries you to the main road and cuts cross-country to make it to his home...so that he could get you medical attention as soon as possible. As soon as he makes it to his back door, he places you on the couch and calls 911. You and he both get taken to the hospital, and checked up...you both were extremely dehydrated, but the Dr. stated that he was shocked that you had survived that long with so much scorpion venom in you, as he was applying the anti-venom, and getting ready for the slow hydration recuperation.
