Chapter 3
Vector did eventually get up, at 11:00, Knuckles watched in amusement as Vector made his way into the kitchen to get himself a cup of coffee and came back to stare at the floor. Knuckles knew that Vector wasn't exactly what you would call awake in the morning but right now Espio needed his attention more than anything.
"Vector, Oi Vector" Knuckles shouted getting the crocodile's attention.
"What" said Vector in an annoyed tone.
"We need to get Espio to a doctor's".
Vector got up and went over to Espio who was ,by now ,drenched in sweat and shaking like a leaf. Placing a hand to Espio's forehead, Vector nearly jumped by how hot he was.
"Right" said Vector making his way over to the phone.
"Hello" came a voice at the other end.
"Morning Miss Vanilla, I was wondering if you could keep Charmy for a little, you see Espio's gotten worse".
"Of course, pick Charmy up when your ready. Bye"said Vanilla
"Bye".
Sighing Vector made another call to the doctors.
Eventually the doctor that Vector had called for had arrived. Opening the door for him, Vector lead the doctor over to where Espio was sitting, leaning on Knuckles this time. As the doctor approached a low growl, that only Knuckles had heard, escaped Espio's throut.
" Shh" Knuckles said as he watched this human approach.
Knuckles knew that Espio didnt trust humans and neither did he. The doctor did all sorts things to finally come to a conclusion, that Espio had caught...Scarlet Fever. ( sorry only one that came into mind) .
The doctor handed Vector two bottles of medicines, one contained pills to get rid of the infection and the other were tablets to keep his temperature down. "Thankyou for coming, bye" Vector said as the doctor left.
Looking down to were Espio was still sitting. He prepared to give Espio his first dose of the antibiotics.
Handing Espio a glass of water, Vector gave him his first pill to swallow which didnt go too badly and the next tablet, which to Vector's surprise went down the same. Espio settled himself back on the couch to get some rest as Knuckles watched him while Vector went to collect Charmy.
Espio knew you would always hear Charmy before you would see him and to no surprise it was the same as Charmy barged through the door flying straight into the face of Knuckles, who batted him away with his hand
"Charmy cant you be quiet."
"nopeeee" Charmy screamed.
Espio started to recover and was back to himself again after a long week of resting and his regular doses of antibiotics.
END.
Sorry I know it was short and had a farely quick ending. I have done my best to fix the format...hope its easier to understand now
