Grizz quickly rushed to Ice Bears side.
"Panda, call a hospital!" He exclaimed, worried for his friend. Panda pulled out his phone about to dial but paused.
"I c-c-can't! You had my phone blocked from 911, remember!" He cried.
"Then call someone with a car!" Panda stood, flustered. Then he shouted.
"I'll call Chloe!" He cried desperately, "Her parent's can come pick us up!" He dialed the number frantically, fur standing on end.
Grizz looked around at the flooded kitchen.
"How did this happen?" he asked himself. He looked at the fridge, still half open, the light, off. "There was no power... but why wasn't there...?" Grizz cast his memory back. His Laptop, low on charge... Grizz got up and ran past Panda, who had started to splutter to Chloe over the phone. Grizz dashed to the fuse box, and yanked it open. All the fuses had melted, all because of him using the power all last night... Grizz fell to his knees, hit by a wave of merciless guilt. "I did this..." he thought, over and over. "It's my fault..." Panda yelled to him from the other room.
"They're coming as fast as they can!"
"He could die..." Grizz thought to himself, mind whirling with undesirable thoughts. "It'd be my fault"
"Grizz?" Yelled Panda. "Where'd you go?"
"He can't die..." thought Grizz, leaving Panda's frantic question unanswered, "Not from a little heat..."
"Grizz!" yelled Panda, appearing at the end of the hall.
"I should die, It's my fault..." Grizzed offered his thoughts, tears beating a new track across the fur of his muzzle for newer ones. Panda stumbled to the end of the hall, falling onto Grizz in a tight embrace, whispering in his ear.
"It's gonna be alright" To this, Grizz started sobbing, shoulders heaving for his brother in the kitchen.
Chloe arrived in about 10 minutes after Panda's call, skipping one of her university classes to get home and tell her parents what happened. Her Parent's were quick to bundle her in the backseat of the car, and drive off, making for the Cave-House. Panda helped Chloe's father heave Ice Bear in the backseat of the car, squeezing in Chloe, Grizz and Panda in with him. It then took another 10 minutes to arrive at the hospital, where nurses quickly transferred him to a wheelchair, rushing him through reception, and towards the "Large Animals Veterinarian", closely followed by Chloe, Grizz and Panda. A Paramedic stopped them at a door which Ice Bear was rushed through.
"I'm Sorry, you can't come through here, I'm Afraid.." She said. Panda started to cry.
"That's his family!" argued Chloe.
"Nobody else is allowed past this point, I'm sorry." She said calmingly. "If you like, I can come and tell you when he's awake, if you wait in the waiting room."
"Okay, please do," replied Grizz, still weak from guilt. He trudged back to the room, and waited. He waited past dark, with Panda and Chloe sleeping on his shoulders, cheeks still red from crying. He waited, past the time when the waiting room emptied of everyone except him and his companions. His mind was still whirling. He wanted to punch himself, for allowing his stupidity to end up here. He wanted to cry, to try and allow himself some peace. He wanted to leave, because the tension weighed him down heavy. He wanted to die, for allowing such a horrible thing to happen to such a good brother. But most of all, he thought.
"Please Ice Bear. Please don't die."
