Like this?

"Dengue fever is a severe flu-like illness characterised by severe headache, fever, muscle and joint pains, and a rash. The fever itself is rarely fatal.

However, Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) can result as a complication of the illness, in which case the outlook is much grimmer.

This illness begins with a sudden rise in body temperature (up to 41 degrees), together with facial flush and other flu-like symptoms.

In severe cases, after a few days of fever, the temperature will plummet and signs of circulatory failure will arise. Finally, the patient may go into a state of shock and die within 12-24 hours."

Rust took the juice and set it on the ground at arms reach in case she wanted more. He heard her stomach and smiled, rubbing her arm affectionately, "I'll get us some food. Stay there." He stood and went to ask about food. "Hey. Rust!" Bongo's voice called from the left. He turned to look at the alpha, only to see something large and dark come flying at his head. His reactions were slow, missing when he brought up his hand to block it from hitting his face. It was a shirt. He pulled it off of his head and shook his head with a smile. "Thanks!" he called back and continued his quest for food.

He returned, now wearing a shirt and bearing food for him and Estelle. "Here we go," He said as he crossed his legs and sat on the floor next to Estelle. He set his bowl aside, despite his hungry grumbles from his stomach and scooped up some of the broth, holding it out for Estelle to eat. He also had bread with him in case she wanted something with more substance.

((Btw, it is transferred by mosquitoes and 41 degrees is Celsius, so that would be around 105 farenhiet))

Estelle Dominique Lareau


Estelle was finding it harder and harder to breathe deeply, but she did her best to ignore it. She was sure it was all in her head but, she was beginning to feel very warm too. She prayed silently that she wasn't sick with anything; she didn't want to complicate their current situation further. It had only been a few minutes of lying there helplessly and already she felt like a burden. When the salty aroma of broth found its way to her nose, she smiled and rolled slowly onto her back, her head still against the pillow. She was too weak to sit up completely, so she allowed Rust to feed her.

"Thank you," Estelle told him, smiling weakly. The warm broth felt just as good running down her throat as the cold water had. It felt good, but she could still feel a fever coming on, and her heart was beating rather fast; she could hear her pulse thumping against her skin, her entire body, like a drum.

((okay! 3nodding ))

Rust smiled back at her, but under that smile, he was worried. She did not look to be only dehydrated. She looked like she was coming down with something, like the flu or maybe food poisoning? But that didn't make sense. How could she get food poisoning if she hadn't eaten anything? And the food at the manor certainly wouldn't be poisoned. Her father was not that crazy. He helped her to eat as much as she could, then made her drink some more of the juice water. He sat by the cot, brushing her hair with his fingers, gently. Looking around the room, he spotted a pile of blankets, the thin, but warm, white blankets normally kept in hospitals. He stood and went to the pile, grabbing a few and bringing them over. He laid one loosely on her and piled the rest up on the floor to sit on. The floor was hurting his tail bone. He continued to pet her head until he fell asleep, his head resting on the cot by her chest.

Mischief came over to check on them two hours later, and what she saw did not please her. Estelle seemed worse than before. "Not dehydrated..." She knelt beside the cot, careful not to disturb either of her pack mates and checked Estelle's temperature. It seemed a bit warm, but nothing to be worried about. She pulled her hand away, then froze. Wait... Estelle is human... Her body temp is lower than ours. She returned her hand to Estelle's forehead and placed one on her own. For a human, she was way too warm. She stood and went to get a bowl of water and cloth, returning and placing the now damp cloth on her patient's forehead.

((Hey, out of curiosity, have you watch The Legend of Korra?))

Estelle ate quietly, for she didn't have much energy to talk, and what was there to say? She still felt guilty for everything, and now they were nursing her like she was a baby. Despite how bad she felt, the sickness she felt was becoming even worse. Her stomach full and quite satisfied, she rolled onto her side again and curled up in a ball. She had to admit, it was nice being able to relax and be taken care of. She closed her eyes; the feeling of Rust's fingers combing through her hair made her sleepy. Slowly, she fell into a deep sleep, and though her muscles still ached and her body still shivered uncontrollably, she felt a sudden ease in her body as she let everything go for a few precious moments of sleep.

((The first few episodes, yeah, but I haven't watched it recently. I love it though! Why?))

Mischief watched as Estelle's condition worsened. She frowned, running through the list of illnesses in her head. She seemed to have the flu or something. If that was the case, she would have to find some medicine. She looked around, shouldn't be too hard. We're in a friggin hospital. She replaced the cool cloth on the girl's forehead and went to search for the meds.

Rust was not deeply asleep, and when he felt Estelle's shivering, he woke up. He saw the cloth on her head and woke up more quickly, reaching over to feel her cheek with the back of his hand. She was burning up! "Estelle!" He looked around for Mischief, seeing her hurry back with a bottle in her hands. "It looks like the flu, shouldn't worry too much. This should ease the symptoms." She popped the top and shook pout two white pills. Rust rubbed her shoulder gently, "Estelle, wake up, you need medicine."

((Because there is an Estelle parallel))

Estelle slept deeply for a few minutes, but soon the aches in her body woke her up again. Shivering, she pulled the blankets up to her chin and moaned, though she knew no amount of blankets would warm her up now. Slowly she opened her eyes and blinked at the fuzzy faces above her. When Rust and Mischief came into view, she looked at them with a confused tilt of her head. "Med..icine?" Was she really that sick? In her mind, she felt perfectly healthy, but her body said otherwise. For a moment, she was hesitant, but it wasn't too long before she gave in and decided to cooperate.

"O-okay." She sat up slowly, leaning against the wall, but her joints ached in protest. Wincing, she held out her hand to grab the bottle of water and take the pills.

((o.o really? I didn't know ^.^))

Mischief handed Estelle the pills and watched her take them. "Just sleep and regain your strength. I'll give you another dose in a few hours." Mischief told her, standing to leave. She looked at Rust, "Get me if anything happens." He nodded and she went off to check on the other members.

Rust looked at Estelle, "So you caught the flu? That sucks. We need to take better care of ourselves don't we?" He tried to lighten the mood, smiling at her.

Mischief went over to Bongo and relayed the situation. He looked over at Estelle and sighed. "Looks like we'll be staying here a while longer." He was not happy about it, but he was not going to push a member of his pack out into the cold with the flu. "Prepare a hunting team for..." He looked outside, "Two hours from now. The moon should be a it's peek then." Mischief nodded and scampered off to do as she was told.

Estelle took the pills gratefully and tried to stop shivering. "Th-thank you," she said to Mischief, trying to smile. She hoped the medicine would make her feel better, for the pain in her muscles was increasing and she was becoming even more feverish than she had been before. She turned her head slightly to look at Rust and attempted a smile. But her gaze fell to the floor, her head spinning. "I'm sorry," she said quietly, "I'm probably delaying our getaway." Her eyelids shut and she fell into a stubborn sleep, her body doing its best to get rid of the sickness that was eating away at her.

Rust shushed her, "No, it's not your fault. Just get better. We don't have to run anymore." He hoped this was true, but after what he had done to Thomas, he was afraid the man, if he survived, would seek revenge. He had tried to stop, he really did, but the beast had been too strong.

Rust did his best to keep her fever down, but she didn't seem to be getting any better. After Mischief had called the hunting party, she came back to check on Estelle. "I think she's getting worse." He told the werewolf worriedly. Mischief stooped and checked over her, frowning. "This isn't the flu..."

"What?!" Rust felt panic bubbling in his gut. "What do you mean?" Mischief did not answer him right away. She began to look over Estelle's body, seemingly looking for something. She gently tilted Estelle's head to the side and her frown deepened. "Damn..."

"What?!" Rust strained to see what Mischief was seeing. A bug bite.

"Dengue Fever..." She stood and ran off to see if the hospital had accommodations for the foreign virus. The virus was most commonly found in hot, tropical regions, what was it doing here? There was nothing. She kicked over a desk in frustration, then returned to the two. "I don't have anything to treat her with, but it usually isn't fatal..." She did not mention about the possibility for complication, hoping she would weather it and come out in a day or two.

Estelle Dominique Lareau


Estelle moaned in her sleep and rolled onto her other side. She could hear voices, but they were distant, fuzzy, completely out of reach. Though her eyes were closed, her head was still spinning, and she felt like she was floating in an endless bundle of clouds. It was the strangest feeling.

"Rust..." she mumbled in her sleep, turning over and curling up in fetal position. The blankets covered her like a soft, warm canopy, but she still felt ice cold from the fever. Her sleep was restful and restless at the same time, still in between consciousness and a feverish dream world.
