Chloe enjoyed the company for a bit longer, laughing and talking with Isabella until Gabrielle got up and said something that she didn’t understand. She looked to Isabella for the translation and when she got it she watched, a bit worried as the older woman left the room. She looked again to Isabella, a bit unsure of things before she smiled softly at her saying she was happy to have new friends. Although she didn’t say it outloud, she wanted to promise that she would protect this place and work like it was her own home but in the end the thought made her a bit sad. 

As she stood up, she wondered what she would do for the day. Perhaps she would run around a bit and scout out the land that they had with her free time, which she guessed would be a lot. Picking up her plate she made her way to the sink and smiled at Isabella. “I’ll help you clean up.” She wasn’t sure if the water was still working for them but that didn’t mean she couldn’t help clean up in order to thank them for the delicious meal. 

When she heard Doc scream she almost dropped her plate, managing to catch it and put it down safely on the counter before she ran to his side. He was sweating profusely and looked very troubled. A bad dream perhaps? “Doc, what’s wrong? What happened?” She asked, eyes wide and alert. She blinked in confusion when he said his rifle was gone and looked around. Everyone was accounted for, or asleep and Gabrielle didn’t seem like the type to take something like that so that only left… Her eyes went wide. “The boys…” She mumbled, panic rising to her voice. “Where did they go?” She asked frantically. 

Her thoughts wandered to terrible places, where the boys thought that the gun was a play thing and accidentally shot each other. She bit her lip and tried to calm herself down. Perhaps she was jumping to conclusions. Perhaps he had just misplaced it and forgotten that he had left it somewhere else, but even so, in the back of her mind panic took the main seat. “Oh my god…” She put her hands on her head. She didn’t know that Doc had unloaded in for safety reasons, so the horrible and accidental death of a young boy was her only conclusion.
