Song_ diary of Jane breaking Benjamin
My head hurt, as did my arm. It burned like acid. I tried to move my legs and change into more comfortable clothes, but as soon as I even sat up, Mendigo came in and pushed me down hard. "Ow Mendigo! That hurt!" He seemed like he didn't understand. I heard the cart. I looked to my right and sure enough there was Hugo, Tanu, Vanessa and Seth. Seth jumped off the cart and ran to the cabin. "Hey are you feeling?" he grabbed my hand to feel my pulse. 'Fine, but Mendigo knocked me hard onto the bed when I just sat up." my voice was hoarse and Seth had to lean in to hear me. Vanessa and Tanu walked in the door. "Hey sleepyhead. Lets take a look at the wound" I carefully unwrapped the gauze and took off the splint. The wound was deep. It had four teeth marks along with a scrape from a claw. Tanu anesthetized me a little to ease the pain. He grabbed some sticky gel and put it on my arm. I winced. "Don't worry. This will help heal it faster." I moved my head forward a little. I couldn't go home yet. The world thought I was dead. From a previous adventure, a daycare manager pricked me with a sting bulb and made copy of me. That sting bulb killed herself when Warren and Seth wanted answers. Not a pleasant adventure might I add.
Couple days later
I sat on the porch just watching Seth, Hugo and Mendigo play baseball. My arm was still broken, but the gash and scrape from the demon was gone. Warren had found the name of the demon. Navarog was the demon who posed as Gavin Rose and broke my heart by deceiving everyone. The demon that attacked us made Navarog look like a house pet. It was Navarog's brother Goravan. He wasn't killed the week before, he was asleep from Vanessa's dart. He's in the quiet box currently. Grandpa came outside and sat next to me. "How's your arm Kendra?"
"It's ok. It doesn't hurt frequently as it did before."
"that's good. Kendra, we have to discuss something after lunch. Okay?"
I nod. He got up and went into the house. Seth pitched a throw and Mendigo swung at it with no determination at all. With a single flick of the wrist, the ball disappeared into the sky. Grandma came out of the door and said "Kendra can you get Seth? It's time for lunch."
"Sure Grandma" when she went in I called "Seth! Come on! It's time for lunch!"
"Okay! Just one more pitch!" I sighed. Is this what guys are like? No. That's just my brother.
I got up and felt sick and grabbed my chest. Seth noticed I looked weird. "Hey Kendra? Are you Okay?" I felt like I'm was going to collapse. Seth said something, but I couldn't make it out. Finally my legs gave way and I fall, only to prop myself with arms. I heard footsteps coming closer.
I ran to her as fast as I can. She was fine a couple minutes ago. Then she collapsed. I jumped up the steps and dropped next to her. She coughed up blood. "Grandpa! Grandma! There's something wrong with Kendra!' Warren and Vanessa bolted out the door. 'It's okay Kendra. Calm down." Vanessa patted her back. After a few scary moments, she finally lifted her head. "What happened?" she was wheezing. I grabbed her hand and helped her up. I let her lean on me. I put her arm around my shoulder and I put my arm around her waist. Vanessa opened the door. Tanu was rummaging through his potions, while Grandma hurried to get some water. I sat Kendra down on the chair, grabbed a blanket and gave it to her. She was shaking and shaking bad. I sat next to her, put my arm around her and pulled her close.
I was shaking. Something was defiantly wrong. Seth was close to me. I didn't know what happened. Grandpa had a book in his hand. It was made of leather and said Fablehaven in Silvian. Silvian was the language fairies use to communicate. Grandpa sat down and flipped through the page. Everyone was quiet. We only heard my deep breathing. Finally Grandpa said "Here it is. It's a picture of Kendra's wound." he held the book up and it showed an exact picture of my arm. "It says that Goravan has a poison-bearing curse and I quote "If a victim is bitten, you must go to the center of the preserve, with two of every kind magical creature, and redirect the curse. If not, the victim will perish. They will have exactly four months to live. " Everyone was staring at me. This was bad. I hope I don't have to die again.
