Jessi took a few steps away from Toby. She knew he was already scared, and potentially waking up to someone hovering over him would only make matters worse.
She remained close enough to still see his small figure, and unconsciously tugged on her sleeve nervously. The itchy fabric from the Pure’s shirt was making her hot and sweaty, not to mention extremely claustrophobic. With one quick tug, the sleeves were no longer attached to the rest of the shirt, and the bottom of her pants quickly followed suit. She instantly felt like she could breathe again, but that feeling was replaced by a knot in her stomach.
Jessi looked around, frowning. “Are we missing people?” She asked, doing a mental headcount. Wolfram is with Bleddyn, Alice is with Peter and Grace. Brisa, Camilla, Finlay, and Lachlan are together somewhere, Toby and Alpha are in Indigo’s van with her outside of it. I was just talking to aunt River and uncle Crow. She paused. “Where’s Sherri? And mom?” Her worried purple eyes scanned the tired and hurt faces of everyone surrounding her.
