(OOC: Wobbuffet, I think you're supposed to go help Caitlin :3 Now for weak-sauce attempts at giving my character depth! *strikes heroic pose*)
A splash woke Kate from her nearly hypnotic state. Her ears twitched and picked up the sound of a creature swimming and sputtering.
"Damnit..." the familiar voice of Chris cursed. Kate sighed. Though she knew that she must have been just lying there for at least an hour, it felt too soon for anyone to find her. She was too ashamed at having left in the first place after making Wallace leave too.
"Kate!" Chris shouted. She heard Chris run closer before asking, "Are you OK?"
Kate didn't answer and instead dipped her paw into the river, watching the current break around it.
"When I was seven, my cousin got really sick," Kate blurted.
Why am I saying this? Kate demanded. It's not going to change anything.
"I'd never really met her before because her family was always got together with her father's die for the holidays and things like that. She was ten and needed a bone marrow transplant. It turned out that nobody in our family was a match except me, but I… I didn't give it to her. I was too afraid that it would hurt too much because of what the doctor told me. My parents didn't force me to do it, saying that my cousin would find another donor. But a few days later, the sickness took my cousin." Kate closed her eyes. "I could have saved her, but even then I was a little selfish brat. I didn't understand what was going on, and by the time I did, my cousin was already gone."
Kate fell silent, even more self-conscious than before but somehow strangely relieved to have given that little piece of herself away, even if it was to some giant mouse person that she hardly even knew. Kate's eyes snapped open and she sat up, her ears twitching frantically as they picked up a scream. It sounded familiar.
"Caitlin," Kate whispered, her eyes widening.
"Come on!" Kate shouted, spinning around and running back in the direction of the cave, knowing that it was her fault that she had been left alone.
