When we were little...

Bo however, as before wasn't listening as he was too absorbed in his task. It wasn't until he looked up and found Luke gone and the door wide open that he noticed. Getting up onto his feet, dropping the plastic toys he had been using, he hurried towards the door, calling for Luke as he started to get a little frightened as the wind blew hard and the dark outside faced him.

Luke held the door from behind with both hands using all his strength to push it closed when he heard what sounded like Bo...and he sounded scared...or hurt. Quickly leaving the door, Luke hurried to the barn seeing Bo calling as loud as he could from the entrance.

"BO!" he yelled. "GET INSIDE!" With all his strength he grabbed the door from the front and was pulling it back to shut when the wind blew so forcefully it blew the old door right off the hinges, taking the slim boy right along with it as thunder boomed and shook the barn, lightning streaking across the sky.

Luke was nowhere to be found.

Bo cried out as he saw Luke disappear, ignoring Luke's warnings and battling his way through the wind and rain into the yard to try and find his older cousin. Tears mingled with the rain as the little boy could barely see his hand in front of his face and the cold was getting to him incredibly quickly.

He kept calling Luke's name desperatly, not knowing which way to go or where he was heading to such was the dark that blinded him.

Jesse soon came out of the house with the lantern not at all liking the state he found things in. The barn door had blown clean off. "Boys?" he called goin into the barn, seeing Bo's toys on the floor. "Boys?" He didn't see them anywhere in the barn.

Luke, meanwhile lay with the barn door slightly covering him, a trickle of blood coming from his temple. He wasn't moving.

Bo however didn't hear Uncle Jesse calling them, having wandered in completly the wrong direction and into the back fields. The little six year old boy was lost and now terrified of everything around him.

Swallowing he jumped as he bumped into something and fell to the ground, peering through the darkness as best he could as he whimpered out his Uncle's name, hoping it was him or Luke. He soon let out a scream though that was lost in the wind, as lightning illuminated the figure and he found himself looking up at a scarecrow. Scrambling to his feet, Bo ran in any direction he could, his breathing getting worse but not stopping to wait for that thing he had run into to get him.

Before he knew what was happening, Bo had tumbled down a long slope and lay sobbing and shaking on the floor in the mud, freezing cold and scared out of his mind...his chest getting tighter.

Lavinia nodded softly, keeping Luke gently still so the Doc could look him over

"I know you did...its alright Luke baby..."

Bo swallowed, barely able to breath and shaking with wet and cold in the little mud hole he was in, hearing his Uncle shouting his name. He opened his mouth and called out weakly

"Unca...Je..Jes..Jesse..."

Jesse gathered the little boy close in his arms, wrapping him in the blankets he'd brought along with him. "I gotcha son...your uncle Jesse's gotcha..." Holding the barely-breathing boy close, Jesse ran as fast as he could back to the farm.

Luke meanwhile was crying near hysterics, knowing from what he heard that the storm was still raging and that Bo was still out in it.

Half hour later, Daisy was at the farm under the watchful and ever helpful eye of Miz Tisdale. Luke, by turns, couldn't edge himself away from his aunt and was cuddled in his aunt's lap as they sat in the room watching Bo.

Jesse sighed looking at his youngest-no matter how many times they had been to the hospital for Bo, it never got easier.
