"Open." I lifted my eye lid as high as I could and let the strange lady shine a bright light into it. "Okay, other eye... Open." I blinked than continued as told. "This is a very unusual case. I've never seen anything like it." The woman faced my parents and stared at the ground. "She doesn't look well. I'm not sure if this issue is even at its worst as is." Mom whipped her face. "Thank you Poorlyusca." "If I were you I'd get this child home, and in bed." Mom nodded and picked me up. "Alright. Thank you for your help."

I was silent most of the way home, and eventually pretended to be asleep so I could listen in on their conversation. "Natsu, I'm scared. She's been sick for seven weeks and has shown no signs of getting better." Dad took a long breath and rubbed my back. "Don't worry. She'll get better." "But what if she doesn't? We just got her back and I don't want to lose her again." I opened one eye and saw him place his fore head on Mom's, "It won't come to that. I promise. I'm not letting our daughter go anywhere."
