A/N: Hey, I know that it's been awhile since I updated this story. It's just that I've been busy with my other fanfic and homework, and stuff like that. But I am going to write another chapter now. I only own Violet, Chloe, Chloe's family, Chloe's planet, Lissa, Celia Hale, Riley, and Sam's family.
Violet's P.O.V: I leaned my head back as I sighed and glanced at Chris and Lissa.
"Hey Chloe, how long do we have to find this medicine?" Chris asked, tapping his foot in irritation.
"We have an hour until the poison fully sets in. It's lucky that I found that out when I did."
"Why?" Lissa asked. "What happens?"
"Um...Look we're here!" Chloe exclaimed, trying to get out of the question.
"He dies." I said bluntly.
"Violet!" Chloe shrieked as she landed the ship.
"What? He will."
"You do not say that to concerned older siblings." she scolded as she walked out of the ship.
"Sorry, but it is true. So we need to hurry." Chris and Lissa followed close behind us.
"But, he won't die if we get the medicine. Will he?"
"No, the medicine is 100% effective." Lissa sighed in relief as Chloe looked at me, a smug smile on her face.
"I swear Chloe, I will wipe that smile right off your face."
"Chloe get a grip!" Chris yelled angrily as he marched right next to me.
"Chris, you need to calm down."
"Calm down! I'm the reason he was there, I asked him to come!" Chris cried, tears forming in his eyes.
"No you weren't, he would have come anyway. He follows you like a lost puppy."
"No, but I was held by Nossida too. I should have made him take me instead."
"Christopher! Don't even say that, there was nothing you could have done." Lissa said as she scooped up her younger brother. He clung to her like a son would cling to his mother.
"Here's the mountain. Let's go, the house is only a few feet up. Nestled in that cave right there." Chloe pointed to a small cave about five feet up.
"It might look like a long way up, but the climb really only takes ten minutes if you really focus on the climbing."
"Wow, so we should be out of here easy as pie." Lissa said as she set a now calmer Chris, down on the ground.
"Let's start climbing." Chris said, walking towards the mountain. I nodded in agreement as he climbed up to the first little ledge on the mountain.
"John's going to be ok Lissa. Chloe knows what she's doing. She wouldn't suggest anything that she knew would have damaging side effects." I said comfortingly as I extended my hand to Lissa, who took it and swung her way up onto the ledge.
"Medicine is the thing that we Mambanians know about. It's the way of our people." Chloe explained from three ledges above me, Chris right next to her. I nodded in agreement as I climbed to join my cousin.
"What exactly are your people?" Lissa asked as she followed me.
"Clerics. You know those healers in video games and Dungeons and Dragons." Chris and Lissa nodded in understanding. Just then, Chris cheered in success as he reached the cave where Chloe's house was located.
"Alright Chris!" I cheered as I began to climb faster.
"I swear he's part monkey or something. He climbs so well." Lissa said as she shook her head and began to climb at the same speed I was climbing at.
"Who are you?" I heard a girl's voice say from further inside the cave.
"I'm a friend of Chloe's, she's helping me get medicine for my little brother." Chris answered calmly. As I climbed up onto the last ledge, I saw who the girl was. It was Chloe's ten-year-old sister, Julie, standing there with one-year-old Nova in her arms.
"Julie, it's ok. He's a friend. He won't hurt us, is Rosie home?" Chloe asked as she approached Julie warmly.
"She's inside. She just got finished picking Mambanian pears." Julie explained. I sighed in relief, so they did have the pears that we needed. She ran up to Chloe, a broad grin on her face.
"Hey Julie, you being good for Rosie and Jackie?"
"Uh huh, I help take care of Nova and the others all the time!" Julie declared proudly.
"Good, hey can you be a good girl and go get me a Mambanian pear elixir?" Chloe asked sweetly, reaching out to take Nova. Julie nodded as she ran inside the house. I heard Rosie argue with Julie for a split second, but then she stopped and ran outside.
"Chloe! Oh my gosh it's been a zoo here without you." Rosie laughed as she hugged Chloe.
"Hey sissy. Any clues about Evan yet?"
"Still looking, but some other stuff happened. Julie went into fourth grade, Nova's starting to talk, Amy is starting middle school. And the quads are in third now."
"Wow that's a lot of siblings." Chris remarked.
"Told you I had nine younger siblings. But I also have two older siblings too, so all in all there's twelve of us in one house." I cleared my throat as Julie came back with the elixir.
"Thank you Julie. Hey I have an idea, why don't you all come back with me. We can find Evan there!" Chloe suggested.
"Mr. Smith has room if you don't all mind being slightly squished in the same room."
"Deal, so let's go save this little boy." Rosie said as she called to her younger siblings, who all ran towards Chloe. She laughed as the kids began to climb on her as if she were a jungle gym.
"Um, guys. Hour time limit before death ensues for John." Lissa said from behind me.
"Let's go!" Chloe yelled as we all began to climb down the mountain.
A/N: Hey, sorry this took so long. I've had a bunch of stuff to do. But it's up now, please review and tell me what you think. I'm starting to get nervous about the reviews.
