A/N: Hi everyone. I just want to apologize for how short this is. I was falling asleep while writing and I had no ways of continuing it coming to me so I left it the way it was. I hope you enjoy. Also as a small side note the week it takes for what's causing Carters' illness to kill him is a full 7-day week, for anyone wondering how long it will take.
Fighting
Sadie had been by her brothers' side for almost 3 whole days now. Carters' magic kept lashing out at random times, but her and her parents soon found out that, the way Carters' magic was lashing out, could have been much worse. Ruby had explained that Carter may be somehow holding power in and holding it back. Even though, it confused Sadie, it gave her hope…hope that her brother was fighting.
Carter unknown to them, kept having small moments when his Ba would leave his body and just stay within the Duat. It was a longer stay each time, proving to Carter that he was in fact slowly getting closer to death (not that the excruciating pain didn't do that enough already.). He just did all he could, which was not much, to keep his power from causing harm to his family around him. He felt bad seeing and hearing his sister try to help him, but he could do nothing. He wished badly to let his sister know how much he appreciated it, even if he only had four more days at least. He didn't fear dying, but he also didn't want to leave his sister. The only problem was the fact that fighting for those four days was getting harder and harder by the hour.
Another A/N: Thank you for reading. Feel free to leave reviews. Also I want to post a small one shot about Carter while I work on continuing The Magicians Illness, so let me know if you think I should post it before the next chapter. Once again thank you, I really appreciate you for leaving feedback it helps a lot.
