Chapter 3.
Leo's POV.
I was watching Pokèmon when my mom came into the room.
"Hey mom." I greeted while keeping my eyes on the screen.
"Honey, Adam and Bree are to the movies, Donald is at work and I'm about to go out for a news report. You and Chase are gonna be alone for a while. Can you watch him?" My mom asked as she fixed one of her earrings.
"You are putting me in charge of Chase? Like a babysitter?" I asked as she opened the door.
"It is only for a few hours Leo. You'll be fine. I put your sandwiches in the fridge. I made some soup for Chase if he wants to eat. If you have a problem, call my work number and I'll come home as soon as I can." My mom explained.
"Ok. Bye mom." I greeted her as she left the house.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard Chase trying to yell. I walked upstairs and saw him looking at me with a dazed look.
"Chase. Are you ok?" I asked.
"Leo? When did you turn into a dog?" He asked in a loopy tone.
"What? I am one hundred percent human. And I am one hundred percent sure I do not look like a dog." I protested.
"No. You look like a dog." Chase said.
I grabbed the thermometer and put it in his mouth. After it beeped, I pulled it out. 103.4, his fever had gone back up. He must be hallucinating because of it.
"Chase. What did you call me up here for?" I asked, desperate to get back to my Pokèmon marathon.
"I'm thirsty and hungry." He replied.
"Kay. My mom made you some soup and I can get you some water." I said.
"Ok doggie Leo." Chase said in a loopy tone.
I shook it off as I went downstairs to get Chase's food. When I came back, he was gone. I put the food down on the nightstand and I started yelling.
"Chase?! Chase where are you?!"
"Up here." Chase replied.
I looked up to see my brother floating in the air above the bed.
"How the heck did you get up there?!" I yelled.
"My levitation ability must be glitching!" he answered, erupting into a coughing fit.
"Ok, how am I supposed to get you down from there?" I asked in a normal tone.
"It should stop eventually, until then, I'll just be in the air." Chase explained.
"Ok...what's up?" I asked in a casual tone.
"Leo, that is a terrible pun...oh no." Chase screamed.
"What?" I asked.
My question was answered when Chase fell on the bed grabbing his stomach.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"No. I just feel nauseous." Chase groaned.
I grabbed the garbage can and handed it to him right before he started hurling his guts. I decided to take the food and put it back in the fridge once I made sure he was fine. After he was done, I helped him lay down and I pulled the covers back over him.
"Just...get some rest Chase." I said as I grabbed the tray and went back downstairs.
I put the food in the fridge and washed my hands. My next move was to grab the remote and turn back on my Pokèmon marathon. I heard Chase yell my name again. I paused the TV which had Pikachu making the strangest face and I ran up the stairs. I saw the wall destroyed and Chase laying on the ground.
"Whoa Chase, are you ok?" I asked.
"I...I was alm...almost asl...asleep when my las...laser bo glitc...glitched and destro....destroyed the wall." Chase explained as he was shivering because of the fever.
"Let's get you back in bed, alright?" I asked as I swung his arm over my shoulder, helped him onto his bed and put the covers on top of him.
"Ok, just sleep. Everything will be better for everyone once you get better." I explained as I closed his door and went back to my marathon after washing my hands and grabbing my sandwiches.
-Time skip-
When my mom came back, Chase was still asleep.
"Hey sweetie. How's Chase?" She asked as she hung up her coat.
"His fever went up to 103.4 degrees, he had a hallucination and thought i was a dog, he threw up, his chills are back and he glitched destroying the wall." I explained.
"That poor child." My mom said as she grabbed the phone.
"Getting takeout again mom?" I asked.
"Yeah. Bree is staying at a friend's house, Donald had to work late and Adam will be back very soon. So just me, you and Adam tonight." My mom said.
"Cause that won't end badly." I said too.
"Do you want chinese or pizza?" She asked.
"We had pizza last night, so I'm gonna say chinese." I replied not really caring.
"Kay, I'm gonna check on Chase and then I'll call." My mom explained as she went upstairs.
Tasha's POV.
As I went upstairs, I noticed the wall. It looked a little like something had hit it on the other side so it was sticking out a little bit, but otherwise, it looked fine. I knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Chase asked from the other side.
"It's Tasha sweetheart, can I come in?" I asked.
"Sure." Chase replied.
I opened the door and saw the wall. It was burnt and looked like he stabbed it. I walked over to Chase's bed and sat on the edge.
"Hey sweetie." I said.
"Hi. How was work?" He asked.
The chills must have left again, thank goodness.
"It was ok. Leo said you thought he was a dog." I explained.
Then Chase squinted at me.
"Tasha, when did you become a cat?" He asked in a loopy tone.
"Honey, are you feeling ok?" I asked.
"Of course kitty Tasha." He smiled crazily.
I grabbed the thermometer and put it in his mouth. After it beeped, I realized it had stayed the same as when Leo told me he took it, 103.4.
"Sweetheart, I'll explain to Donald about the wall, you go to sleep. I'll check on you later." I smiled as I got off his bed.
"Okee dokey kitty Tasha." He said in a loopy tone and still smiling like a crazy person.
I shook it off as I walked downstairs to call the chinese restaurant.
