chapter 2

"Kai?how are you feeling?" I ask hopefully the next morning. Kai rolls over revealing a face of pain and sorrow."Worse." He mutters closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "My whole body aches." Kai moans painfully. My insides feel empty as I think what could be wrong with Kai. "I need to take you to the doctor." I say. "No,you can't afford it." Kai says opening one eye. "But you need to go." I argure "I'll find a way to pay for it don't worry about that, the problem is how to get you there." I say, "You can't walk there can you?" I ask. "....no."Kai grunts. "Ok...well,do you think Mary will come over here instead?" I ask. "Maybe, but you might have to pay extra." Kai says weakly.  I have no choice, I have to do this. "I'll be back soon, if you start to feel worse yell for me I won't be far. I say. Then I run off toward the village.

"MARY!!!" I yell running up to the counter. but no one is there. "Mary?!" I yell again but theres no anwser. suddenly a boy walks in from the back. "Who are you?" I ask confused. And where's Mary? I wonder. "I'm Mary's grandson,Aron. She called me here when she recived an urgent call out north for a doctor." He explains. "She went north! doesn't she know whats over there?" I ask "She must be crazy if she thinks she can get in without being killed!" I shout. "Please calm down, Mary is aware of the risk and has choosen to take it." Aron says in reply. KAI! I ALMOST FORGOT WHY I'M HERE! "youradoctorright?" I says  as fast as possible. "What? a doctor? yes why else would mary ask me to-" he begins jokingly but I cut him off. "My brother is very sick and I need a doctor to come see him NOW!!" I yell. suddenly his face is serious. "I'll get my supplies." he says running to the back. Soon he returns with a large bag. "Lets go." he says. Then we run down the path toward the house and although i should  be thankful Aron came in such a hurry. All I can think about is the bad feeling I have that Kai isn't going to ok.
