Due to the incoming reviews from CopperCurls1 and Drowning Rooster and the updatement of Rowana Silvakisma, here is a new chapter. *Sigh* I'm sorry if this chapter isn't very good, I REALLY have a BAD case of WRITER'S BLOCK. It's killing me softly with its song… whatever, on with the story! Oh yes, I watched a horse show, and this horse whisperer guy rode horses over jumps without a bridle and a saddle! It was so cool.

Chapter 5:

~*~

Kel woke up with a start. She thought she had heard something, but when she sat up on the bed, she saw Merric and Owen bickering. The thing is, she couldn't hear them.

"Will you just shut up? I can't hear a damn thing, so don't make me jealous by fighting!" Kel shouted. She intended her voice to be regular but it came out as her shouting since she couldn't hear a thing.

"Will you just shut up? Nananananana." Merric mimicked.

"What? What did you say?" Kel shouted again.

Merric grabbed a piece of parchment and started writing something. He held it out to Kel.

"Stop shouting Kel! We just cast a spell on you to not hear what we were saying." Kel read out loud. "What? You did what? Hey! Wait a minute! You guys don't have the gift! How could you have cast a spell?"

"Surprise!" Owen said.

"What? Oh never mind!" Kel sighed.

"I'm here!" Neal said as he waved a hand at her to take the spell out.

"Neal! I'm so glad to see you!" Kel said as she hugged him. "You don't know how quiet and uneventful it is to go on a mission with these 2 guys!"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" a scream pierced the air, making the birds in the woods take flight.
