Night was falling and Sips was still there, all of a sudden I felt it, the pulsing in my hands, 'shit!' I thought looking around. Sips saw my sudden awareness, "what's wrong?" He asked. "Where is my bag?" I asked him, talking for the first time which seemed to shock him. "Um...I think Sjin has it...why?" He asked confused. "My medicine, I need it, it's life or death!" I pleaded. "Ok" he said suddenly serious, I knew he wasn't about to let a little girl die, even if he didn't know me. "I'll see if I can find it, even if I can i won't be able to bring the whole bag, what does the medicine look like?" He asked. "It's in a small white box in the bottom of my bag, the box is about the size of one water bottle. Ok?" I said extremely worried. "Yup," he said, already running upstairs yelling "Sjin!"

It felt like an eternity, every second I felt it worsening. The pulsing grew faster, I could feel the skin changing. 'Sips...hurry up!" I though to myself. Then I heard it, the sound of fast footsteps coming down stairs, then Sips appeared around the corner. I sighed in relief, "here," he said as he slipped it through the bars. I opened the box and pulled out the bottle, instantly there was another bottle in its place. I cracked open the bottle, Sips just stared wide eyed as I gulped down the green liquid. I was half way through before the pain started, I quickly caped the bottle as I fell down. I groaned and held my stomach, 'why does this always happen to me?' I thought. "What's happening? What's wrong!" Sips shouted. I whimpered but held my stomach and tried to hold in the scream I felt in my throat. I could feel the liquid burn through my throat and stomach, I was surprised I wasn't full of holes by now. I wanted to reach out and be held by someone, I needed someone to comfort me and tell me I would be ok. "Duncan..." I mumbled quietly, I wished he was there, "what was that?" Sips asked very worriedly. I just shook my head. I managed to sit up, I opened the bottle again and gulped it down hastily. "Wait wait wait! That stuff is hurting you! Don't keep drinking it!" He shouted. I threw the bottle to the ground. Done. Then I felt it, relief spread through me as I felt the pulsing in my heads stop, and under my gloves the skin was going back to normal. "I'm sorry you had to see that..." I said to him. He looked shocked, but we both turned as we heard foot steps coming down the stairs. "What's going on? I heard shouting" Sjin grumbled, he looked from Sips's shocked and scared face to my pained face, then he saw the bottle on the floor. "Sips! What did you do?! She poisoned herself!" He yelled franticly. "No...she said it was medicine..." He said confused. "It was" I said, I shouldn't have talked, it threw my stomach into a frenzied pain again. I grimaced and grabbed my stomach. "If it was, the why are you in pain, clutching your stomach?" Sjin asked. "Because the infection reacts very badly with the medicine, but it does make it better." I said. He looked at me curiously and I realised, I had said infection 'I said to much! I'm such an idiot!' I thought, but Sjin didn't seem to have noticed. He was looking at me curiously because he was trying to think what might be wrong that the medicine would hurt me. "Move over Sips" he said pushing Sips aside, he took out a key ring and unlocked my door. He walked in and closed it behind him, I was still kneeling on the floor, I looked up at him and he bent down, looking strait into my eyes, then he held his hand out for me to grab, he helped me to stand up but once I was up I got very nauseous and dizzy. "Whoops! Here, hold my arm" he said hold his arm to me. I held on to him while I regained my balance. "Thank you" I said as I released his arm. "See? I told you she wasn't going to hurt anyone!" Sips said. "Maybe you were right Sips...I'm sorry Kira. Why don't you come with us and we will find you a room to stay in" he said slightly ashamed. "Alright" I said, glad to be out of the prison.

Authors note-

Ok so it was a bit cheesy for Duncan and Sjin to both befriend Kira because of her helplessness over her medicine, but...I'm a terrible thinker, well...I have lots of imagination, I just lose it all when I write...so I will try for the next one to befriend her differently...I don't want it to repetitive!
