Chapter Ten: Nausea

All Sienna wanted to do was bury herself in the blankets that she was given for a bed. Though she couldn't. Her legs longed to have a walk about but her stomach was telling her the opposite. The minute she opened the door she knew that there would be trouble.

She found that Syd Fletcher was sitting at his kitchen table munching on his toast. His eyebrows twitched as she entered the room, not in doubt in notice of her.

"Good morning." Sienna's voice was quiet.

There was a long silence, so she shuffled over to the little pot in which she poured herself a cup of tea. It was only when the silence was going nowhere that Syd spoke out.

"I guess you could call it a 'good' morning." He looked at her with desolate eyes.

"What? Why? Has something happened?" Sienna asked

"It doesn't matter Syd, she doesn't need to know."

Only now had Sienna noticed the other person in the room with them. The other person was a beauty, her heart-shaped face gave off the impression by being a romantic. The girl's red hair was a flame signaling her feisty personality, and her eyes were as green as envy.

"And this is..." Sienna pointed at the flamed girl.

The redhead took a deep drink of her tea and frowned over the cup. "Catherine Royal. But you may call me Cat. Not Cathy, not Kate - Cat."

She nodded but all of a sudden, Sienna's stomach took an upturned flip and she instantly felt sick. She guessed that both Syd and Cat knew what was going on as they both looked concerned. She covered her mouth with her hand and sprinted over to the Fletcher's sink where she cast up her accounts.

"Easy," Cat put a reassuring hand on Sienna's shoulder to steady her, but she still furiously threw up in the sink.

"What d'you think is the cause of this?" Syd asked, fists curling at his sides.

"B...b...b...Billy Shepherd." Sienna said through gasps.

Syd and Cat both looked at each other with hate filled eyes. Sienna didn't need to do any explaining, they already knew what was up.

A/N: Okay, guys, around this time two weeks ago I know I told you that I would update in the following week, but guess what, it didn't happen. I am so sorry for that but it was because I was having technical difficulties with my laptop and also they are changing the connection to the wi-fi round my area. If I do not update at least every week, you will know what is going on so I hope you understand.

Thank you to all my reviewers and I appreciate your support.
