Rain gave Tyler a quick nod of understanding and motioned for Pete to join the two of them. Pausing for a mere moment to scan the small group of men cowering in front of Tyler and Kaden, she picked out the ones that would be most likely to pose a threat later. "Let them all go, except the four in the back of the group. I remember those four and nothing good will come from them running loose," she replied, looking back to Tyler. She had noticed the way the four of them tensed up. The glances each one casted to one another. A sign that they were about to do something very bold, but very stupid. In the glance Rain and Tyler had shared, she had passed on a silent warning.<br/><br/>Once Rain was sure Tyler got the message and the men would be fine here without any extra help, she turned away. Taking the lead towards the house, she kept it at a gentle pace so Pete could keep up and not strain his wounds further. "When we get to the house, go ahead and take a seat in the dining room. I will get you cleaned and patched up," she said to Pete, glancing over at him to take a quick assessment of the noticeable wounds. Feeling Tex's uneasy, constant shifting, alerted her to the fact that Tex may not be able to handle being in a house full of men. Rain herself had mostly forgotten the initial feeling that followed after her escape. It had taken her months to even leave the forest where her pack used to reside and make trips through public areas in the daylight. The hardest part was trying to avoid contact with men completely. Eventually, she had learned how to cope with her uneasy feelings, but all she did was cope. Rain would have to figure out a healthy way to teach Tex how to overcome the way she would feel around the guys.<br/><br/>From what she had seen in the clearing though, she was hoping that Kaden would be able to help Tex as well. Even though the two of them were mates, Tex would probably still feel uneasy with him getting too close or them being alone. Kaden didn't even know yet, so he would have to figure out why Tex knew him in the first place or the feelings he would probably start getting once Tex was cleaned up and able to be up and about more, which meant more exposure to Kaden and the guys.<br/><br/>Sighing heavily, Rain shook her head to clear it. Now she was overthinking everything. Right now, her focus needed to be on getting Tex to the guest bedroom to get cleaned up. Then on patching Pete and the guys up. She could think about all of this later when it came up.<br/><br/>Feeling relief as they reached the farm house, Rain stepped up onto the porch and took a moment to breathe in the scents of the home. There were no unfamiliar scents and she relaxed as the three of them finally went inside. The quiet, warm interior of the house was inviting as they small group separated. "I will be back down in a moment to patch you up Pete. In the mean time, do your best to clean off your wounds if you can," she ordered gently over her shoulder as she began to climb the stairs. Reaching the top, she made a sharp left turn and brought her sister into the guest room right down the hall from Tyler and herself. Letting her sister down easy, she pointed to the bathroom. "Get yourself cleaned up, okay? Don't worry about anything. You are safe here, I promise. The windows are locked and you can lock the bedroom door if it makes you feel any safer, alright? Just take a bath, I'll get you something to wear for the time being. In a little bit, I will bring you up something to eat and then I want you to rest. I wont leave the house so you can call me if you need me at anytime," she said, gently pushing her sister's grimy feeling hair away from her face.<br/><br/>Smiling reassuringly, she kissed Tex's forehead softly and held her close for a minute before pulling away. "Now move it, I can smell you from a mile away," she teased gently, motioning towards the bathroom. Tex smiled, heading for the bathroom. "Thank you Rain, I couldn't ask for a better sister," Tex said, looking at Rain one more time before going into the bathroom and closing the door except for a small crack.<br/><br/>Rain smiled and headed back downstairs, entering the dining room where she had told Pete to wait. "Okay, lets see what we have," she told him with a heavy sigh as she sat down across from him, getting the work on cleaning his wounds thoroughly and stitching up the deeper ones. She would attend to her own later.<br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Tex sunk down into the hot water of the bath, letting all the dirt on the surface of her skin and hair wash away. The water almost turned black with the amount of dirt and grime that had built up over the long months that she had last had anything remotely close to a bath. After the first few months, Court had used Tex only as a pet for his men and himself once Rain had gotten out. So there had been little need to keep her in good health. Every several months she earned herself a cold shower, but that was only because she survived longer than any of the others.<br/><br/>As the thought of the other women trapped in that hell hole came to mind, Tex began to feel the depression set in. They didn't deserve to be there. Letting out the filthy, blackish water, she watched it silently run down the drain until it all disappeared. It was a new beginning for her. Finally, she was free from Court's hold. Finally, she was back with her sister. And maybe, just maybe, she would be able to start a new life. Hopefully add on to her and Rain's family in the future.<br/><br/>Drawing up a second hot bath, Tex used this one to actually soap up her body and wash her hair. Getting out after a while of soaking, she shied away from the mirror hanging over the sink. She did not want to see what she looked like. Drying off with a soft towel she found, she wrapped it around her body and left the bathroom. Crossing the room, she climbed onto the bed and crawled to the far corner. Curling up tightly, she kept her senses open but closed her eyes. She knew Rain would take a little while, so she didn't call out to her immediately. Rain would need time to get everyone taken care of, including herself. Besides, Tex wasn't seriously injured anywhere besides a few broken bones. But again, they weren't life threatening, so she waited.
