From dusk till dawn, baby I'm right here

Our lives are made in these small hours

So her initial exploration of The Range had proved fruitful. She had wanted to save it for something to spoil Bae-Syl with, a place they could just hang out, but it had turned out to be where they ended up staying. She didn’t like the distance from her parents either, but not because she was worried about what might happen on the way there. Her mom was still acting funny, not wanting to fully look at her, not saying much. It had Lucy worried, really worried. And of course, her dad didn’t want to go far from the den either with her mom like this, so he couldn’t look for the herbs Bae had mentioned… And so Lucy had taken it upon herself to try hunting for them.

…with failure.

Lucette didn’t know both plants preferred drier terrains… which, well, an old farm and orchard were not. She spent hours looking, ignoring the warning signs of the weather in hopes that maybe, just maybe she’d find it.

Nope.

She felt first one raindrop, ignoring it, and then before she knew it the drizzle had turned into a downpour. The rain was cold, soaking her through as she tried to make her way back to the farmhouse. She tried to run at first but the heavy rain was making it near impossible to do so. It felt like she was getting nowhere fast and she once again cursed her small stature. Every time there was a bad storm she got stuck like this…

Well, at least it wasn’t a hurricane again, right?

…right?

The wind whipped against her smaller form and Lucy stopped, bracing herself as the shiver ran through her body. It didn’t take long before she felt like she was freezing. Then came the clap of thunder.

‘You’ve got to be kidding me…’ The pixie groaned.

She looked up, green gaze at least making out the farmhouse. Celeste above she hoped Bae-Syl wouldn’t notice she was out here. The last thing she needed was for him to get worried about her being in another storm.

"Talk", 'Think.'

These little wonders these twists and turns of fate
