Here is Gemma[/html]
The clouds on the horizon seemed to Gemma like the whole underworld had come alive in the distance, the dead reawakened to prey upon the living. The white female shook from head to toe but she did not divert from her course. The winds howled around her, screaming in her ears and her young children were whimpering behind her. They had never seen anything like this before and neither had she, it was absolutely terrifying. But she held strong, her tribe needed every last hand it could get to help. But the winds rushed at her and turned her around confusing her sense of direction until she was unsure if she was looking at the way she had come or the way she had gone.
Her saving grace came in the form of Ulilohi's howl, the Councilwoman's voice helped show her the direction she was heading for and Gemma almost cried from the relief she felt. But the winds were fierce and they picked up around her. It was difficult for herself to walk straight but impossible for her children to do so. Nate-River began to stagger sideways, caught by the gale and Gemma lunged to catch him before he was thrown away from her. But she couldn't carry both of them they were too big, forced to her knees the pale woman tried to hide them from the wind, to protect them as best she could. Then a voice roared besides her to hand over one of them, she looked up to only just see a blue eyed grey wolf standing over her. She recognised Simcha from seeing him about although had never personally spoke to him.
Without waiting for her to respond he gathered up Payne in his strong arm and with his free hand grabbed hold of Gemma's hand and pulled her along with him, bracing against the gusts. The four of them burst into the town hall breathing heavily and Payne wriggled free of the craftsman's arms, shivering at her mother's feet. Gemma herself was wild eyed and shaking and was only able to whisper a thank yopu to him which he nodded at with a strained smile. Seconds after that Light staggered into the town hall and enveloped her and the children in a hug "I saw you but you were too far to reach in time." She held him close and took a few more seconds to herself to calm her breathing before also facing Ulilohi and another smaller girl that she did not know, "We're here to help, we came as quickly as we could."
