Short Chapter, more to come with everyone though! Hope you enjoy, sorry for the long wait!
Lillian stared at the strange woman who was staring at her angrily awaiting her response. Laney trembled slightly next to her.
"Is Phillip here?" Lillian asked.
"Who are you to care?" The woman asked.
"I'm his sister," Lillian answered defiantly. She stared at the woman, her worry for Phillip fueling her courage.
"Yes he's here," she replied. Oracle had finally returned after visiting her wizard friend. He had given her an antidote potion to try. She'd heard some pretty bad reports about people in Konohana, she also needed to purify the water system, the potion had infiltrated the area.
"What!" Laney and Lilluan shouted in unison. Oracle sighed heavily.
"Come inside and you'll see," Oracle stated. The girls hesitantly followed her inside the monstrous building. There was a large black cauldron in the middle of the first room. Lillian's eyes landed on Phlilip, who was laying in a comatose state on the bed.
"Phillip!" Lillian rushed to his side. "What happened?" Anger laced through her voice.
"What happened? He didn't listen to me!" Oracle shouted. Lillian's memory flashed to the scene when she had seen the woman give him that potion.
"He used the potion didn't he?" Lillian asked.
"No, that's the problem, he didn't. But then he did not dispose of it correctly," Oracle explained.
"What potion?" Laney asked confused. Lillian looked over at Laney and grimaced. She wasn't sure how to explain.
"Look the important thing is that I need to try to heal him, you two can help me," Oracle said.
"Wait!" Laney shouted. "Who are you? What potion? What's going on?" Lillian sighed.
"Might as well tell her," Lillian advised. Oracle nodded.
"You may call me Oracle, a little while ago Phillip came to me begging to make him a potion." Oracle took a deep breath. How could she tell this girl?
"Okay," Laney said slowly. She was still not understanding all of it.
"You may want to sit," Oracle motioned to a chair. Laney looked towards Lillyan, who simply nodded. She very much disliked being left out of the loop.
"Now what is this all about?" Laney asked impatiently, after the three of them had settled into some chairs.
"Phillip came to me and asked me to make a potion that would make a girl fall in love with him..." Oracle trailed off. She realized that the girl he had wanted to make fall in love with him was standing right in front of her. Laney crossed her arms.
"What?" She asked angrily.
"He threw it out," Lillian reminded gently. She reached out and place a hand gently on Laney's arm. Laney's face softened slightly. She let out a loud breath.
"You're right," Laney conceded. She looked at Oracle. "What do we do now?"
"We have to try a spell," oracle informed.
"Will it work? Will he be okay?" Lillian asked. Oracle looked briefly away.
"I don't know," she whispered.
Everyone in Konohana was on edge. The strange events had spread through the town. Every time something bad happened, a villager fell into a comatose state. She'd been forced to call the city hospital to send a specialist. She didn't like other Doctor's in her space, what made matters worse, was that the specialist they sent was her ex fiancé Alex Morghan.
"You've got yourself a mess here huh Ami," Alex purred. She frowned.
"It's certainly not ideal," Ayame admitted. "And please refrain from calling me that." Alex chuckled.
"What would like me to call you?" Alex asked.
"Dr Andreas will suffice," Ayame stated.
"Really?" Alex asked. Ayame glared at him.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Ayame asked. Alex shook his head.
"Well the Dr Andreas, what do you need me to do?" Alex asked.
"What you do best, help me diagnose them," Ayame snapped. She turned away from him, before he could see any emotions. It still stung thinking about the way he had left her. She shook that out of her head. She couldn't think about that at this moment. The bastard may have left her at the altar, but he was one of the best special diagnosis doctor around. The people of Konohana needed him.
Eve paced back and forth across the small room she was staying in. When Phillip had run away, she was nearly devastated. She tried for years to get him to notice her as more than just a friend. She had followed him to this goddess forsaken town, and now he was missing. To make matters worse everyone treated her as if she was diseased. She was so much better than everyone here. Phillip and Lillian were crazy for being here. She was restless. Suddenly her door opened.
"Alana!" Eve called out with excitement. Phillip and Lillian's mother breezed her way through the door.
"Hello darling!" She greeted, gathering the girl in her arms.
"Oh thank goddess you're here!" Eve took solace in the woman who had treated her more as a daughter than her own mother.
"Now tell me what's going on," Alana cooed.
