Chapter 15: Sudden realisation.

The air was throbbing in a frightful manner.

"Big Sister!" Sil'fer flashed her daggers again. "If there are enemies here, I'll fight them off easily..." She trailed off, looking away from their expressions, turning from surprise to concern to sadness. Where are the enemies?

She suppressed another cough.

"Sil'fer!" Sophia was not impressed to see her. It dawned on Break and her that both she herself and Sil'fer had caught the infection. She turned to face him, who immediately read her mind.

"I didn't bring any spare," Break whispered, confirming her worst nightmare.

"Big Sister, I'm sorry!" Sil'fer gasped.

Sophia didn't expect this at all. Right there and then, she made a grave decision. I'll just hope for a miracle and tell her off when we get home.
