Stalkid and Glyde were the first to awaken from their sleep and were out side on the porch. Stalkid had been viciously scrubbing his sword for two hours already and Glyde simply stared up at the slightly cloudy sky. A gentle breeze blew on to the side of Glyde. His brown hair flew in that direction as well, dancing about. Stalkid kept scrubbing away on his sword as he asked Glyde in a cheerful manner, "How are you today?" Glyde smiled and said, "Good... you seem to be in a wonderful mood as well today, eh Stalkid?" Stalkid nods and continued to clean his sword. Glyde just stood there, looking up at the sky silently, staring at the slow moving clouds. Jack then comes outside. Without saying good morning to either of them he walked out into the field and sat under a large tree, fiddling with a flower. Stalkid looked up at Jack for one second, then back down at his sword. Glyde didn't even seem to notice Jack since his eyes remained looking at the sky.
Jack stared down at the yellow flower blankly and occasionally would sigh every so often. He did nothing more except stare at the flower. After ten minutes of blank staring, Jack dropped the flower. He looked in complete amazement as it floated to the grassy ground. He picked it up, and repeated the same sequence over and over. After ten minutes of dropping the flower, he picked it up and stared at it again blankly. A cold wind traveled by, causing Jack to shiver, but his expressions remained the same: blank. He then began to whisper silently as if he were talking to the flower. He clasped his other hand on top of the hand that was holding the flower and brought the flower closer to him. When he stopped whispering to himself, his head began to become cluttered with whispering voices. As the volume of the voices increased in his head, he began to twitch and his heart began to pound furiously in his chest. His eyes began to quiver and he tightened his grip around the flower. His dark brown coloring began to fade to a pale brown and he began to scream in pain. He fell to the floor, his hand grasping his chest.
Glyde and Stalkid turn their heads quickly in the direction where Jack was screaming and the two ran to his side quickly. DQ and ZF ran out of the house with blankets wrapped around them selves towards Jack. Stalkid and Glyde stared at Jack, horrified. DQ pushed the two out of the way and knelt down next to Jack. "JACK?! WHATS WRONG?!" She screamed. He continued to scream and it seemed like he was pulling his chest, as if he were trying to pull his skin off. "JACK! STOP IT! DON'T!" Jack sudden froze and stopped screaming. He began to shiver violently and he said, "They.....got....me..." He repeated the statement over and over as DQ threw her blanket on Jack and carried him towards the house. Stalkid and Glyde were still horrified from the incident and stared at each other. ZF stood still and looked down at the flower that Jack was holding. It was burnt. ZF looked back up at DQ as she slowly entered the house, ZF tapped the two surprised youngsters and said, and "We should go inside to see how things are now"
"Oh, erm, sure. Let's go Stalkid." Glyde said, quivering. Stalkid silently nodded his head and the three made there way back inside the house. They saw DQ sit with Jack in her arms. Jack was now asleep, still shivering. DQ stared down at her young brother, worried. "Jack... please... stay with me..." DQ sniffled. She hugged her brother close to her, hoping that the heat of her own body would halt his shivering. She then got up and walked into the bed room. She placed Jack in one of the beds and covered him with as many blankets she could find. It didn't help though; Jack was still shivering. DQ puts one hand on her chest and the other over her eyes. "Please Lord... save this child..." She outs her hands to her sides and she pulls up a chair next to Jack's bed. She sat down in the chair and remained silent, watching her brother as he slept and violently shivered.
Stalkid, Glyde, and ZF looked at DQ from the hall way as she sat there, staring at her brother. They all walked away from the room and sat in the room they all had slept in. They all stood there, shocked from what had happened to Jack. They all remained silent and didn't talk for hours until they heard Jack screaming again. This continued hour after hour. Jack seemed to scream every other hour for the same length of time. They tried giving him remedies while he was awake and ZF tried curing him, but those attempts failed to work. ZF soon found that Jack was cursed with black magic. ZF had said that the only thing they could do now is to wait and see what happens to Jack. If he didn't get any better or if his condition worsened, she suggested that the best way to end his suffering and to prevent him becoming purely evil, he should be put out of his misery by death by DQ.
