"C-Can you help?" I asked shakily, sitting down on the bed "I'll do my best" Blithe said. She put on gloves, and examined my wound. "Good, it isn't infected. Yet." she grumbled. "Yet?! What do you mean yet?!" I asked. I was panicing. "Well, if this sucker gets you infected with Withera, you could either die, or be paralyzed completly. I can never really remember." She giggled. Blithe rinsed her gloves with alcohol. "This may sting." And she placed two fingers in my cut. My teeth clenched in pain. "Ah, found it." She yanked on the object, but it wouldn't come out. "Come on! Get out!" She cried. She gave up. "I think it's stuck between his ribs." she sighed. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'IT'S STUCK?!' I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" I yelled. She thought for a second. "Well, I don't know. I mean, I do have a potion"- "GIVE ME IT!" I cried. "Hold on! It's extremely poisonus, but it will corrode any foreign objects. Only skeletons can ingest it." she said. I hesitated. "I...um...I don't know how to say this, but I am part skeleton…" I said shyly. The girls didn't know how to react. Andr looked shocked. Blair just stared. "W-What? That's impossible!" Blithe stammered. "No, it isn't. Before I met you guys, I was with…" I tried remembering the name of the tribe. "the Anuka tribe." I said. "I was at home, then my computer went weird, my body began turing purple, and I woke up with a tail and ears. I had a dream, and long story short, I know I'm part skeleton. I just know." I confessed. "The Anuka's, hmm?" Blithe walked over to the bookshelves, and ran her finger along the spines of the books. "Ah, Indian Tribes." she grabbed a thick, green, dusty book. "Okay, a's, Aduna, Alenex, ah, Anuka." she read the passage. "says here that the Anuka tribe is the oldest tribe, and the only tribe that can artificially create a Brid. A Brid is a combination. 70% chance for a Syrid, 40% chance birid, and so on and so forth." Blithe looked at me. "Holy fuck, alright, I'll get the potion. But if your insides begin to corrode, it's not my problem." She grumbled. She walked over to a book shelf, and pulled a red book. A trap door slowly opened, and Blithe slowly decended into the hole. Andr looked at me. "Aj, are you serious?" she asked as she sat next to me. "Yeah. Andr I swear." I said. She hugged me. "I don't care that you're an Enchant. You're still mine." she said. I smiled faintly. "I don't know about this, kiddo. I mean, this shit's pretty deadly. Tried it on a sheep once, and it fell apart. Literally. It fell to pieces." Blithe said as she climbed up the ladder. "Are you sure, Aj?" Blair asked. "For the last time, yes!" I exclaimed. "ugh, fine." Blithe shoved a neon yellow potion to me. To be honest, it looked like liquid uranium. I took the potion from her. I opened the cork, and sniffed. "phew!" I coughed. "God, it smells like skunk!" I said, pluging my nose. "I could always take it back…" Blithe trailed off. "No!" I exclaimed. I looked at the potion, and hesitated. I sighed, and took a gulp. The strange liquid stung my throat as it washed down. I coughed slightly. I waited for a minute. Nothing happened, or atleast I thought so. Suddenly, some of the pain in my side subsided, but a lot of pain was still there. I watched as some gray, rusty dust drifted lazily from my cut "Oh thank god." I sighed. "Here, you need to sleep. Stay here. You aren't ready for travel." Blithe said. "Okay." I said. I got up, and hugged her. "Thank you, so much." I said. Blithe seemed a bit suprised. She got out of my hug. "I'll get some beds."
Meanwhile, back at the house, Yurei was having a terrible dream. There was this horrible boy, no more than his twenties. He had blonde hair, and green eyes. He was terrorizing a village, setting fire to houses, and other horrible things. All she heard was screaming, crying, and all she saw were those terrifying green eyes. She woke up, holding back a scream. She felt horrible, and cold. She stood up, and developed goosebumps. "Why is it so fucking cold?!" she mumbled sleepily. She crossed her arms, and made her way to the window. She pushed the window down, but it already was. She sighed, and walked over to her closet. She fumbled for a thicker over shirt, to put over her thin bra. She got a thick sweater from hher grandmother. She still remembered the words that her grandmother said when she handed it to her..
"if you get cold, put on this, you whiny bitch"
Her grandmother was never the nicest. She slid the slightly itchy sweater on. It didn't help. Strange…. Yurei thought. She turned to get back into bed. She snuggled into the thick white comforter. She closed her eyes. "Hey! Girl! Wake up!" She heard a voice. Yurei's eyes shot open. She saw three blue orbs. "Hi!" The middle blue orb pulsated. Yurei was speechless. The three orbs began to transform. They slowly grew legs, and increased in size. Arms started to sprout out of their sides, and they metomorphosed into three women. One was old, with a white parka. Another was in her mid fourties, wearing only a white t-shirt. The other was the youngest; sixteen. She was only wearing a bikini. "G-Ghosts?" Yurei stammered. "Yes, we are dead. But we came to tell you. We came to tell you about him." The older one said. "Him? Him who?" Yurei asked. "The boy." The older ghost said. "Aj? What about him?"Yurei questioned. "You mean, your brother." The slightly younger one said. "My brother is dead." Yurei mumbled. She saw him kidnapped, right infront of her eyes. It was only a few days ago, though. "Not dead. Just in another form." The old one said again. "Your brother saved Aj's life. We found him dead in the middle of the forest. Aj is an Enchant." The younger one said.
"Come on, you little…." I mumbled as a raced past a Lamborghini. I quickly knocked him out. "Yes!" I crossed the finish line. "That's a strange device. What is it?" Blithe asked me. "An iPad. Got it for Christmas." I said to her. There was a sudden knock at the door. I put my hood up, hid my iPad, and Andr held me tightly. "What do you want?" Blithe grumbled loudly. "Taxes!" A man said. Blithe opened the door. "Taxes? I paid them a month ago!" Blithe said. "Yeah, well, things change! King Steven wants more warriors!" My heart stopped. "Why more warriors? We're practically in a famine, and he wants more fucking warriors?!" Blithe exclaimed. "Oy! If you want to rant about it like the bitch you are, go to him yourself!" And the man took a small pouch from Blithe. He slamed the door in her face. "That bastard! I'm going to give this 'King Steven' a piece of my mind!" Blair said, and she marched to the door. "Blair, no!" I cried. Everyone looked at me. "Why? Aj, what's wrong?" Andr asked. My heart began to race. "Steven is a horrible man! He wiped out an entire village, and he didn't even care! He wants me dead, just for being me!" I began to cry. "He hates me, and wanted my throat slit. He's a tyrant." I sobbed. "Aj, stop crying. It's okay. He won't kill you. I won't allow it." Andr kissed my cheek. "But if hee sees me, I'm dead!" I cried, and I hugged Andr. Adored even more. I hated Steven, but I was too scared of him. "He needs to die." Blithe said.
