HHHIIII! It's Ajluv! I LOVE updating this, so here's another chapter!

Flashes of gold leapt from their skin to the bottle whipping around and around the bottle. But the three holding it didn't notice. Natalie, Nina and Eddie were lost in a world of green and gold that couldn't seem to slide into focus.

Natalie gasped as flashes of stingers and ancient poisons flashed through her mind. She felt like she was spinning, like she was about to go flying into space. Something seemed to be holding her down though. Something that seemed not right. It didn't seem evil, just not right. Like a puzzle piece being shoved in the wrong place. It didn't fit.

Suddenly something jerked and twisted and Natalie woke up slumped against the bottom cabinets of the kitchen, sunlight streaming through the windows. "What?" She gasped. Just a second ago it had been nighttime, she had been standing next to Eddie and Nina, holding the aspirin bottle. She looked down. It was still in her hand. But different. It had spots of gold on it, dancing up the short bottle until they reached the cap. Which was an ugly scorched black.

She stared at it in shock, but quickly stopped when she realized two things. 1. Nina and Eddie were slumped across from her, and 2. They were stirring. Numbly she stood up and hurried out of the kitchen, running into something tall and musty smelling. She shook her head, dazed. "Victor?"

He angrily took a step back and rumbled. " What is the meaning of this? Hmmm?" Natalie couldn't respond, she was so tired and confused. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination or not, but she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

Apparently not. Natalie thought hazily, because suddenly Eddie and Nina were standing protectively in front of her. "She accidentally spilled water on herself and came down here for a new shirt." Nina lied quickly. Victor turned his beady eyes to Natalie for confirmation. She nodded. Then yawned. " I didn't mean to run into you Victor, I was just kinda tired." He nodded grimly. " be more careful" he said, suspicious. Natalie nodded. "Yes Victor."

Nina and Eddie turned to Natalie. " you okay?" She nodded. " But are you sure you guys are? You guys look exhausted." Nina nodded wearily, while Eddie shrugged. " It's a good thing it's Saturday." Eddie mumbled. So, too tired to think about the nights strange events, Natalie, Nina, and Eddie stumbled off to sleep.
