Jeremy groaned in pain and woke up.The place he was in smelled like plants and he immeditaly knew where he was.

"Heeey." Jeremy turned and saw fritz sitting next to him. "What happened?"Jeremy sat up,his head was pounding "Woah..." He felt dizzy and heard someone walk into the room."Easy there jeremy." Mike came in and sat next to fritz. "We found you blacked out in the forest...Mike carried you bridal style all the way here fritz snickered and looked up at mike who looked like he was about to murder him. Jeremy looked at mike and stuttered "T-thanks mike..." "No problem jeremy." An old woman hobbled into the room and looked at jeremy "You my son have a chest infection not as bad as fritzs here but it was left untreated." She announced.Jeremy reconized her from the alchemists shop where he was now selling herbs and potions to sick or warriors and a bunch of others. "Jeremy how long have you been sick and not tell us?" Mike asked worriedly. Jeremy sighed "A-awhile...I thought it was a cold and that it would go away so i just hid it the day before yesterday is when it got really bad and noticed.."Jeremy averted his eyes he could feel fritzs and mikes dissapointment burn his skin."Jeremy you should know better then that."Mike sterned."I-im sorry."Jeremy felt tears brimming in his eyes. "Dont cry stupid." Mike wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "SPIRT!"The women yelled and jeremy saw fritz get flustered when a tree of a girl walked in."Eh?" She looked at the women."Be a doll and grab the willow bark on the top shelf im to short."The womens tone sounded irritated."Yep."She reached up and grabbed a small root on the top shelf and handed it to her."Thank you dear." The women replied.Spirt looked at fritz who was trying not to look at her but failed.Miserably.She smiled then caught jeremys eye and the look she gave him was of surprise and and nervous,she quickly left without saying anything."She okay?" Fritz asked trying to sound absent. "Shes fine,shes just cranky and tired as always."The old lady muttered."M-mike?"Jeremy gave mike an unsettled look."Yeah?"

"Her hair..." "Her hair?"

"......It was the color of that beast." Jeremy looked seriously at mike.Fritz over heard and looked at jeremy "Th-oh,oh no...."
