With her new friend in tow Rhys skipped back over the border. Hopefully her sneaking off would be overlooked; after all, she was making up for it by bringing a cool girl home. If Angel and Cascade got to bring home friends than so could she, right? She'd claimed Dagmaer as her new little sister. That was something she really wanted to be. She'd be a much better one than Evangeline! Rhys wouldn't screech at her and she'd play games with her instead of being mean. She'd be a good big sister.
"This way, Dagmaer!" Rhys trotted along with a merry spring in her step. She was rather pleased with herself. Sure, her new friend was sickly and coughed a whole lot, but Rhys was certain her mom could fix her up no problem!
With a frown Rhys slowed to a halt in front of her family's den. She'd left her mom right here, she was sure of it. So where had she gone? "She was right here, you know. Hm." Her voice just shy of a shout, she called, "Mom!"
