"So you know what this thing is?" Musa sat on her bed with her pen in her hand and her notebook on her lap. She had woke up earlier that morning to find that she was the only one feeling even remotely better.
"Yes, I do. It's called 'Freezus Immortalis'. It's not a virus at all. It's a hex. It starts with the person that was originally hexed and then travels through the air, much like a virus, until everyone else that was targeted receives it. You slowly turn into an icecube and are frozen in time. It's the same thing that's used in the Omega Dimension." Ophelia looked over to Flora and told her to bring the glasses of antidote.
Flora handed a glass to everyone. "Drink up. I know it looks gross but it's the only way to reverse it."
Stella glared at the glass, shivered at the rank smell, held her nose, and drank. "Ew. It's chunky. Why is it chunky?"
Riven sighed and took a drink of the vile brown liquid. It reminded of something he had thrown up the night before. He had a stronger stomach than the others though, so he kept that piece of information to himself. "C'mon guys. It's not that bad."
"Really?" Everything in Techna told her it was logical to drink it but she wasn't convinced being better was worth drinking that.
"If Musa drinks it will you all take it?" Everyone knew that Musa's stomach was weaker than that of everyone else, especially when it came to ingesting unknown stuff. It was completely unfair of him to ask her to do it when he knew she seemed to getting better on her own but he didn't want to lose his friends to a hex either. He looked up at the girl that had plaqued his every thought from the first time he had seen her. "Drink it Musa."
She scrunched her face and drank without a moment's hesitation. "Ew." She waited until the vile taste had left her mouth before she relaxed. "There. It wasn't that bad guys." She knew she was lying through her teeth and she knew everyone else knew too. She turned to Ophelia. "So when do we start feeling better?"
"Tomorrow morning. Now get some rest. Flora will call me if you should need something." With that, she was gone.
Musa watched her friends drink the remains of the antidote before she laid down and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Musa woke to someone jumping on her bed, with the sun shining through her window. For the first time in days, she felt the warmth of it. Looking up, she saw Stella drop down onto Musa's waisting, straddling the girl. She looked over to see Riven standing in the doorway with his signature smirk. It appeared that he was quite enjoying the scene in front of him. She looked back up to see Stella's eyes staring into hers.
The girl's smile widened when she realized Musa was awake. "It's a miracle Musa! We're better! We're all better!" She climbed off Musa so the girl could get up to get her clothes. "Come on, we're going to eb late for breakfast!"
