Knock.. Knock...

" Deary, its time for your medicine again. " Gypsy said from the other side of the door. Coming right in with a grin on her face.

" No, I can't do it again Ma'am. Please not again. " Pleading with this woman and she wasn't budging one bit walking into my room. Only raising an eyebrow to me.

" Child, you need your strength back. I promise you it will help. It will make you healthy again. It will start to heal you like it should. So, drink up, it's not going to drink itself. " The lady said as she sat next to me handing me this awful drink. That she has been making me drink, two and three times a day.

" No, really I think I'm good for now. It's okay, I think I am starting to get right up to par. " Saying in a nervous tone. Trying to muster up the best smile I could give. Waving my hands no.

" You need to get better. This medicine really isn't that bad. Now drink it so you can start healing properly. " She said handed me the drink again putting it in my hands this time.

Looking down at the drink. I wanted to lose my lunch when she brought me another cup for the second time today and it wasn't even noon. This shit was so nasty. It had a slimy and grainy texture to it. Green, bubbly, with a little bit of smoke coming from the top.

I didn't know how these people drank this stuff? Swearing she was trying to kill me off slowly with these drinks that she has been bringing me. It was so gross that I could barely stomach it. Looking down at the drink something came up and going back down into the drink. Making me jump.

" What's wrong deary, drink, drink up. " The lady said, urging me to drink this thing.

" Something just moved it in? I'm good thanks though. " Giving her another nervous look.

" Oh, that's worm stool child. It is a natural medicine here. It moves because it's alive you silly girl. Do you know nothing? We should really start getting you to study with the things that are around here and what they are used for. " Saying as if it was a normal conversation to have.

My mouth dropped as she was telling me about the drink. Looking down, it moved again. " I've been drinking worm poop all week?! " Trying to hand her back the cup wanting to vomit right then and there. She has been feeding me worm poop, has she gone off the rocker?

" You didn't have a problem with it before. So drink or I may have to do it the other way again. " The lady said, raising another eyebrow to me with a smirk on her face. Pushing the cup lightly towards me again.

" No not the other way please? " Pleading with her again.

" Well, then drink up, lets see if we can get you out of bed and moving around a little bit before dinner. I'm cooking up a wild hog that is to die for. Sol, caught it and brought it back. Isn't that so sweet of him? " She said with a perky tone.

1 MONTH LATER

Sol brought me to a place called Skeleton Swamp. Trust me when I say it's as bad as it sounds. A lot of creatures and species don't come in here unless they are invited or know the place well enough to not be eaten outside. This place was cold and dingy making any enemy stayed far away. It was the ultimate, perfect place to hide. If you are not careful the swamp will swallow you whole. So, yes this is the perfect place to hide.
