Believe in Yourself
A/N I felt like writing another Five Children and IT fic. It's about the courage to try and help a friend when they're not themselves or ill. I hope people like.
It was a dreary day in Calvert County but somebody was feeling down. It was Izz.
The Psammead had been feeling down since he'd lost his magic entirely and he felt like he was a nothing even though the others had tried to help him.
His bat like ears picked up on the sound of rain.
Tears were in his eyes as he went for a walk in the woods but he felt rain soak his soft grey fur as he lay on the muddy forest ground.
But he saw a strange pool of glowing water. He was curious about it as he approached it.
"Maybe the water from this spring will bring my magic back. But will my friends be happier that my magic's returned or what?" he thought scooping some of the water up in his hand.
"I guess if it'll bring my magic back, it's worth a shot." Izz told himself as he drank it.
He then realised the others would be worrying about him so ran back to the Robert's house. Leah was making breakfast as he entered the house.
But he wasn't feeling too good as he went upstairs.
Elisa his young sister and fellow Psammead wondered what was wrong with him but he wouldn't tell her. He felt odd as he entered his and Carley's room. He lay on the bed listening to music on the MP3 player.
Leah heard sneezing come from her soul mate's room and went in seeing Izz unwell and was worried but saw Carley coming upstairs.
"What's going on?" she asked as she entered her room hearing loud coughing and understood seeing Izz lying on the bed asleep and listening to music.
His furry forehead was hot.
"This isn't good.
I hope he'll be okay." she thought as she went downstairs. Elisa was playing a video game in the front room while David was sketching. She wondered what was wrong with her brother.
"I think he has the cold.
But I wonder how he got it?" Carley said to her.
"He went for a walk this morning in the forest.
Maybe he got it from the rain." Leah told her.
But Elisa went to her brother's room. She saw him asleep but coughing and sneezing a lot. She felt sorry for him and wondered how she could help him.
She then saw his eyes open but pain was in them as a strange aura was around his grey furry body.
"E-Elisa what's..... wrong with me?
Is it from the water I drank in the forest?" he said to her as she was curious by what he just said. She hoped he would be okay but went to the forest to see the spring Izz had said about but gasped as she saw that the water changed people who drank it.
"This isn't good!
I have to tell the others." she told herself.....
