A/N: When this story takes part Reuben is 17 years old, Simeon is 16, Levi 14, Judah 11, Dan 9, Naphtali and Gad 8, Asher and Issachar 7, Zebulon 6, Dinah and Joseph 4 and Benjamin 2.
A/N/2: As I'm a protestantic Christian I'm interpreting the Bible the way I want (because I have to) – (I don't think that will be a problem in this story but if it is… Let's just say that I don't care who is like my way or not)
A/N/3: As I'm not using English as my first language, I apologize for the spelling mistakes that might be in this story. I'm trying, and that is a promise. (If you find something that is really terrible, please tell me, so I'm not doing the same mistake over and over again.)
A/N/4: And I'm sorry if some chapters are very short. I lack in inspiration this time.
And as I think everyone had already guessed, I'm not own this characters.
One character I actually own is: Millennia (Dan's goat)

Chapter 1
The mysterious disease had ravaged in a week. Nobody knew what it was, one day Asher had collapsed in the field. Someone had carried him home and tucked him in and then he had been sleeping the entire day, for some hours he had even been unconscious.
Next day Dan and Joseph got sick too, in the same way and in the end of the week Naphtali, Zebulon, and Dinah was lying too. They were weak with fever and very dry and the sickness refuse to let them go.
On the eighth day, someone found a medallion that had belonged to Rachel. They hang out it to bring some hope and luck, and to protect and cure the family. It hadn't helped. Admittedly, no one else had been ill, but to those who was already suffering, nothing had happened.
Day nine Dinah had actually been up for a while, about 30 minutes. Then she had fallen asleep again. Now it was eleven days after that and there hadn't been any more such miracles.
Finally Jacob gave up and decided to find someone who knew what to do and some medicine.
Jacob, his wives and, (to give the suffering children some time to rest), all the healthy sons would go to the village to speak with a doctor. Judah was left at home to look after the others and everything else. He was old enough to make it, the adults decided.
Judah agreed. He had actually feed their animals himself many times before without any mistakes and the field could wait one day his father had decided before leaving. And six babies who was lying in bed all the time couldn't make so many problems…
