"I don't know. The text didn't say," Belle replied, tapping her foot impatiently.
"I don't know. The text didn't say," Belle replied, tapping her foot impatiently.
Riverpaw put Tsunami down on the couch and held her still. "We'll be back, okay? Please don't chew up anything." She pet the pup's back and turned to Belle. "Okay, let's go."
Belle gave a swift nod and walked briskly out the door, locking it behind Riverpaw. She made her way down to her bike as quickly as possible, pulled her helmet on and handed one to Riv, then jumped onto the bike.
"Let's go."
Riverpaw climbed onto the bike, clipping her helmet on and holding on to Belle.
Dr. Brown wipes her hands and tied back her hair. “Family of Aspen Barnes?” She asked the receptionist. The receptionist shook her head and faced the computer. Dr. Brown sighed, the poor girl.
Belle sped off toward the hospital, parking as close to the entrance as she could. She removed her helmet and strode inside, not looking at anyone or anything other than what she'd come for. She didn't want to think about the other times she'd been there. Not now, not ever.
Riverpaw followed Belle closely, gripping the older's jacket tightly. She looked up, seeing a rather concentrated look on Belle's face. "Um..h-hey, how do we find Aspen?" She asked, moving closer as someone went by with a large cart.
"We have to ask the front desk," Belle replied, right before they arrived. "Hey, we're here to see Aspen Barnes."
The receptionist looked up “relationship?”
Dr. Brown was checking Aspens vitals when she had a call. “Dr. Brown…. ok…alright”.
"We're basically family," Belle stated, leaning forward on the counter as she tapped her foot.
The receptionist shrugged “good enough. Room 325, third floor.”
Colden walked over to the receptionist desk, "Hi,"
By the time Rigel was on his seventh site, he pulled out his phone and texted Belle, ‘Have you seen Aspen yet?’ They all probably thought he was a terrible person for not being there. Rigel had so much guilt weighing his shoulders, she took a moment to sit down. All his fault. If he hadn’t gone out today, if he hadn’t needed a ride from Aspen, if he hadn’t tried to help Kate… everything would be different if he hadn’t been there. Everything would have been better off without him. He tapped his foot, waiting for a response.
Belle pulled her phone out of her pocket as she led Riverpaw to Aspen's room.
BELLE: Not yet. On my way right now. Where are you?
Rigel typed back, leaning against his motorcycle. I’m a terrible person, I should be there, I should- Rigel sent the text.
RIGEL: I’m not there.
Belle frowned at the text.
BELLE: Yeah, obviously. I know that much. Why not?
Rigel frowned at himself. He couldn’t tell her that he was looking for Kate’s body. That would lead to more questions. Instead of texting back he started calling Belle, chewing on his lip as he waited for her to pick up.
(What did I miss??)
(What did I miss??)
(Belle and Riv were making pancakes, then Aspen got into an accident on her motorcycle and is now in the hospital. Rigel is still digging up bodies, but Belle and Riverpaw are at the hospital, making their way to Aspen's room.)
(Rigel’s grave digging while Aspen is in the hospital because she got into an accident. Belle and Riverpaw and Colden are going to go visit Aspen. Rigel texted The whole gang about the accident)
Rigel frowned at himself. He couldn’t tell her that he was looking for Kate’s body. That would lead to more questions. Instead of texting back he started calling Belle, chewing on his lip as he waited for her to pick up.
Belle raises her eyebrows as she got the call, then answered.
"Whee the heck are you?" she asked without even saying "hello."
(Aspen's crashed her motorcycle and is in the hospital and Rigel is looking for a dead body…so y'know, not much)
“I’m-“ This was a bad idea, Rigel shouldn’t have called, “I’m out stomping around in the woods, okay. I’ll be back by tomorrow and-“ Rigel really did realize how bad it sounded, but- gosh, he had no idea what to do.
"Tomorrow??? Rigel, you should be here now. What if Aspen wakes up and wants you?" Belle questioned him. "What then?"
“She’s not gonna want me. She’d much rather be with you all,” Rigel leaned against a tree, examining the dents on his bike to get his mind off it. He had taken so good care of his bike before then, it had been spotless, until he let it drop when he thought Aspen had been dead.
