Daddy and Warren carried Gram into the bedroom. She was tossing and turning. Her forehead was burning and she was mumbling nonsense in her sleep. It scared me badly especially since daddy and I combined did nothing to aid her. We tried everything from potions to poultices. NOTHING was helping.
"It's time for dinner." Momma's voice carried through the oddly silent house. We all sat down and without a word started eating our mashed potatoes and chicken. Even little Charlotte kept her trap closed, which is very hard for a three year old to do. Gramp didn't eat with us. He refused to leave Gram. He kept muttering to himself, "Not again, not again. I promised that nothing would happen to you. After you were a chicken I promised nothing would ever happen to you again. Not again. Oh Ruth, not again." He was starting to worry us.
"I… I… can't… breathe…" came Warren's choked whisper. His face started to take on a greenish color and he fell out of his chair.
"Nooooo!" Vanessa screamed. Her scream turned into a sob which turned into a pained gasp. She coughed violently and fell out of her chair as well. She was caught by Papa and Daddy who were trying to help Warren. Mamma's face went pale.
"Grandpa?!" She hollered. There was no answer. Mommy ran into his room with me in tow. Gramp was lying on the floor he looked just like the others and his head burned with a fever.
"Dad! Mom! Warren! Please come quick! It's Grandpa!" Nana was the first one come to help her breathing was slightly ragged. Mommy and Nana carried him into bed with Gram. Nana started to cough.
"Oh no you don't!" Momma hollered and helped Nana into the living room.
"Keep away from those who are sick!" Daddy instructed, pulling me to his side. Suddenly, Momma collapsed onto the loveseat. Her face was covered in sweat and it didn't take a detective to understand what had happened.
"Mommy no!" I tried rushing to her, but Daddy held me in place.
"No Luna," His expression was very pained, "I can't have you get sick too." He looked at Jay, Thomas, Charlotte, and I. "Go upstairs into the attic. This illness is spreading magically and magic can't penetrate the attic." Jay opened his mouth to argue, but Seth shot him a look and he closed it.
"I can't believe this!" Jay said once we got into the attic and the door was closed. "I am stuck up here with little kids and I can't even do anything about it!"
"Excuse you! I am stuck up here with you too! My body may be little, but I am very intelligent! Never underestimate a unicorn," I transformed my horn into a blade for effect. "And NEVER talk to me like that again." They all looked at me slightly terrified. I just shrugged.
"You boys can sleep in that bed and Charlotte and I will sleep over here." I said pointing to each bed in turn. Jay was still staring at me with a baffled expression. I shrugged once more and crawled into bed dragging Charlotte with me. Jay just shook his head and turned out the light. For the first time in my short life the room was dark.
