Hyreaoti

Jack POV

I watched silently as Jade's eyes flutter close, result of the Sandy's dust. I leaned to down to give a peck on her forehead before walking out of her room. I proceeded to North's study room without other words.

As I reached the room, without knocking I strode in, before closing the door behind me. Once again I faced Cupid, North, Bunny, Sandy, Tooth and the elementors, minus Alaine and Aqua.

"Its time to discuss about the sickness Jade's having." North declared as I took a seat on the sofa beside Ben.

Yes, we actually know what's wrong with Jade.

North placed a thick book on his table, letting Cupid flip through the pages. I sat straight due to the tension I got. I hope its not the sickness that I've been worrying about.

"Throwing up blood, pale lips, lost appetite, slightly trembling body... Painful migraine..." Cupid sighed. "Its Hyreaoti."

"No." I groaned, my head in my hands. Out of all sickness, why the Hyreaoti?

"Hi...are...uh... what ti?" Breeze asked confusedly. I sighed wearily before leaning back on the sofa, closing my eyes in stress. I opened them back again to focus on Cupid.

Cupid cleared her throat, starting to explain.

"According to this book, the Hyreaoti is a sickness where someone is bound to throw up blood, and when there's not enough blood due to the Hyreaoti, it can cause death.

Its not contagious, the main carriers is a plant called the Hyre. The Hyre is some sort of pollen plant... And to be honest, the Hyre is unrecognizeable enough to be put into someone's food and can be called as some sort of... poison."

"Just to let you know, the Hyreaoti is one of those sickness that humans can't possess." North added.

"True," Cupid agreed, flipping through the pages. "Ah, here it says, 'The Hyre plant is very hard to find, only someone who has good knowledge in plants can recognize the Hyre'"

"Hey, since its a some sort of food poisoning, is it possible that Jade's gotten that sickness, from something she'd eaten?" Ben suggested.

"Obviously," Bunny said, crossing his arms. "I feel sorry for Jade, out of all people, she's the one that has to drop sick." Tooth sighed.

"The most tested one, is the strong one." Cupid pointed out, closing the thick book with a 'thump'.

"Jack!" North pointed at me. I replied with a lazy 'hm'.
"What had Jade been eating before dinner?"

My eyes wandered to the open window that showed a dark night as I thought.

"Um, a few chips and some cookies. She ate it at around 4 in the evening...?" I answered, hesitant.

She was hungry then, it was when we were listening to songs in her iPod in the living room. Aqua's brought food for all of us and told that he's leaving for a moment, but will be back before dinner.

None of us tend to eat what he'd given.

"But Jade did," I thought out loud.

I earned a few confusing sounds as I thought about it over and over.

"Was it the cookies that she loved so much? The cookies that Aqua brought to the living room a few hours back?" Breeze gasped.

"But then, why would Aqua do something to torture Jade like that?" Tooth pointed out.

"Tooth's right, Aqua would never..." Ben trailed off, agreeing with Tooth.

"Besides, Aqua wouldn't know much about the Hyre." Bunny added.

We all kept to ourselves as we thought.

Who... Who would--

"No way." Breeze gasped again.
"I think..." Tooth wondered.
"Waitwaitwait?" Ben waved his hands around.
"I'm afraid I know who." North stroked his beard.
Sandy made an exclamation mark before making an image of someone with his dust.

And the dust resembled--

We all gasp in unison as the image of the person that Sandy had made float in front of us.
Simultaneously, we shouted the name.
