Beastly Secrets

It all started on a cool Autumn evening. Inside a red house, there lived Manny, Robin, and Harry. Robin was watching tv with Harry in the living room. It was quite peaceful, until they both heard a scream come from Manny's room.

Harry: Manny?!

Robin: I'll go check.

Robin gets up and heads to Manny's room. When he enters the room, he sees Manny in bed, crying. Robin goes to Manny's bedside and sits by him.

Robin: What's wrong Manny?

Manny: I… I had a bad dream…

Robin: Aw, it'll be ok. It was just a dream.

Robin then pats Manny's head and hugs him. He acted almost like a father figure to Manny since his father, Roy, was evil. Robin then tucks Manny back in.

Manny: Hey… Robin?

Robin: Yeah Manny?

Manny: We'll always be friends, right?

Robin: Why, of course Manny. We're a family.

These words made Manny smile. Even though they weren't blood related, the trio were still a family. Robin hugs Manny again before leaving his room, closing the door behind himself. Manny laid down on his bed and fell asleep, still smiling. The next morning, Harry was making breakfast while Robin was at the table reading a newspaper. Manny soon came downstairs, but wasn't looking too good. Robin puts down his newspaper and sees Manny.

Robin: Manny…? Are you alright?

Manny: I'm… not sure.

Robin rushes over to Manny's side. He feels his forehead, which was surprisingly warm.

Robin: It seems like you have a fever.

Manny: N-No… really?

Harry: If he has a fever, then he needs to go back to bed.

Manny: But.. I'm fine!

Manny tried to resist, almost growling at Robin. Both him and Harry were completely shocked by this.

Harry: D.. Did you just… growl?

Manny: Uh… I guess so.

Robin: Just come on Manny. You need your rest.

He takes a hold of Manny's hand and walks him upstairs. Harry watches them with a concerned look. He wondered what was wrong with Manny, and hoped it wasn't what he was thinking.
