271\u2013Staying Over At The Creepy Cabin\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, Elara and Gina burst into tears watching their brother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They pulled on my sleeves, trying to get my attention and ask what happened to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything went silent in my head until Baxter stepped in and scooped Bodhi up in his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I carried Gina and Elara to comfort them while Baxter laid Bodhi on the couch in the living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He brushed Bodhi\u2019s hair away from his forehead and rested two fingers on his neck, checking his pulse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he pressed his ear near Bodhi\u2019s mouth and watched his chest rise and fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s fine. It seems like he\u2019s just sleeping,\u201d Baxter murmured, glancing up at me after he examined him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I put my daughters down and got closer to Bodhi, sitting on the couch with him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBodhi, are you okay?\u201d I asked, gently cupping his cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyelids fluttered, and then he opened them, yawning and stretching as if he had no idea that he had passed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I let out a breath that had been caught in my throat and looked at Baxter in confusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think the sickness is back?\u201d I whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter\u2019s jaw clenched, and he closed his eyes, almost like he was absorbing the pain of seeing Bodhi like that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he pulled Elara and Gina in and hugged them while I kept Bodhi close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We sat silently on the couch. A low rumble echoed outside. Rain began pouring down, beating against the cabin walls harder and heavier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gina tugged on my hand from Baxter\u2019s lap to get my attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, please let\u2019s stay here for the night. We are really tired. We cannot get soaked in rain again,\u201d she requested, her lips quivering.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, Mommy, we do not want to go out,\u201d Elara agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I looked at Bodhi, who was watching me with sad eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we should stay until the rain stops.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was as if Baxter and I were thinking the same thing, because we spoke in unison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After it was decided that we would stay over for the night, we carried the children to the main bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter pushed the door open with his elbow while holding Gina and Elara, and I walked behind him with Bodhi in my arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The room was small but warm enough,\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bed was placed in the middle with old blankets, but they were clean. The mattress was soft, and the pillows\u00a0<\/p>\n
were cushioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause we have no idea what made this family leave, how about we all stay in one room for the night,\u201d Baxter\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
suggested, and I nodded quickly, placing Bodhi onto the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I walked to the wardrobe and opened it. A few folded clothes sat on the shelves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I pulled out small clothes that were the same size as Bodhi, Elara, and Gina, and set them on the edge of the bed\u00a0<\/p>\n
near Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should change them into these or they will catch a cold,\u201d I told him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter nodded, gathering the clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you change them? I\u2019ll go see if they have anything in the kitchen, and I will also close all the windows and doors,\u201d I said to him, while he dried the children\u2019s hair and changed them into dry clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I left the room and walked through the small living room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shut the windows firmly and checked the locks on the door. I moved to the back window and shut it, pressing the\u00a0<\/p>\n
latch down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The storm outside rattled against the window and created a loud noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I paused, staring into the darkness. The sky was already losing light, and the trees swung hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wondered what could have happened for that family to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I went into the kitchen. The shelves were filled with canned goods, jars of grains, dried herbs, and vegetables stacked in bowls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was also a basket of potatoes and a sack of rice on the counter. I opened a drawer and found utensils neatly arranged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed like when someone went rogue without committing a crime and they were only removed for not obeying certain rules, they received help from the pack.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For us, they deprived us of everything, and I assumed it was to punish Baxter for taking my side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I rolled up my sleeves, tied my hair in a messy bun, and set a pot on the stove.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I filled it with water and added rice, then reached for vegetables, peeling and cutting them on the counter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNeed my help?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter\u2019s arrival made me shudder slightly. The cabin was still a mystery to me, and his sudden voice startled me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSure,\u201d I replied, handing him another knife so he could help cut the vegetables.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were so tired, they fell asleep instantly,\u201d Baxter remarked about the children, and I felt bad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They had not slept on a proper bed in more than a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope they get a good night\u2019s sleep,\u201d I said to Baxter, pouting sadly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
