~*Next Morning*~

Sorcha was fixing breakfast again, when she heard a horrible siren like noise in her mind. She held he head with her hands and waited for it to stop. Then she heard Rita...a frightening thing first thing in the morning.

'Morning girl. Now here are your orders: take this liquid' a vial of clear substance appeared in her hand 'and put it in your friends drinks'

"What? No, what will it do to them...I can't kill them"

'I should have fried your boyfriend for that, but I have no intention of killing them. This will weaken them until they can't fight...but you'll have to give it to them for the remainder or your trip during meals.' There was a pause. 'Unless you want your little frog prince to pay the consequences' Before Sorcha could answer Adam jumped in the bed with an loud, and very painful 'OW!' She sighed and emptied the liquid into the 6 glasses...{At least it won't kill them, and I'll find a way to make this right I promise}

Adam walked over to her and held her as she shook slightly.

"I take it she said something you disagreed with?" he tried to joke, even though he had singe marks around the band.

"I have to give them with this to weaken them" she held up the empty vial.

"Oh..." he sighed "It'll be ok...it's gotta be- just weakening right?" As he finished his sentence, everyone came down the stairs.

"Why'd you shout?" Rocky inquired.

"Oh that," Adam attempted a smile. "Sorcha pinched me to wake me up."

Rocky laughed and began eating, so did everyone else. Adam and Sorcha watched wearily as they drank between mouthfuls...

The day went by fast. Sorcha and Adam had received two more viles for each meal and emptied them warily into the glasses. Everyone else have gotten tired and gone to bed early, around 9, once they returned from horseback riding.

Adam tossed and turned all night, finally to awaken at 6 in a cold sweat. He decided to make breakfast, hopefully before Rita was up, rather than try and go back to sleep. He moved sluggishly around the kitchen until the all to familiar ringing of Rita's voice entered his mind.

'Did my nightmares work well last night?' Adam clenched a fist knowing she had caused his restless sleep, or lack there of.

'Yes, too well.' Adam responded in his mind to her.

'Well, are you going to answer?!' she screeched.

"Yes, they worked too well" he replied out loud.

'Good. Now then, last dose, then your friends will be too tired to fight a putty! Go ahead, add it to the orange juice' The usual vile appeared and he emptied it mechanically into the drinks. As Adam felt the familiar signs of Rita leaving his mind, something dawned on him.

"Black Ninjetti Frog!" he called out to morph.

'Sorcha' he whispered telepathically as she slept. All she did was mutter something and roll over. 'WAKE UP!' That got her attention. She shot into a sitting position and glared heavily at Adam.

"What the HELL was that for?"

'I have a plan, but speak in your mind to me. Rita can't read our thoughts'

"Grey Ninjetti Panther!"

'Better?'

'Yes'

'Now what's the plan?'

'Next time everyone else is morphed, we can tell the others and Billy will be able to help.'

'Sounds good to me'

'Well don't get too excited' Sarcasm was evident in his reply.

'I'm sorry Prince. I really am glad you thought up a plan. I guess I'm still asleep.'

'Ok'

They demorphed and waited for the others to wake up.

I apologize for how long this took to get up. Hopefully my next chapter will be easier to write. Hope you liked!
