Sparrow was all healed, but she still had a limp, I'm guessing it would go away in a few days. None of know exactly how she got hurt.

"How are we going to find butterflies? It's the middle of winter!" I exclaim, covering my cheeks with my coat. Sparrow, harlie, Jordan, Magnus and I were outside searching for a cure for Emma. "Well, actual its the beginning of winter-" Magnus starts, then stops talking when he sees my facial expression. "Well, we could stop at the pet store" Jordan suggests. Things were weird between Jordan and I. I'm just going to ignore what happened that night until he wants to talk about it.

"Ok, let's go" sparrow says.


"Aww..." Everyone looks at the cute puppy's and kittens, while I actually do what we came here to do. "Hi, do you by any chance sell live butterflies?" I ask the girl at the counter. "Well, yes.. How many do you need?" She asks. "Umm.." I resist the urge to ask how many butterflies you need to cover a body. "100?" I suggest. She leaves and comes back with a plastic cage of yellow, blue, and brown butterflies. "Ok.. With 100 butterflies, and the cage, your total is 123.99" (I'm just guessing) "...." I have 49 dollars and a piece of gum. "Just a second.." I rush over to everyone. "Do you guys have 74 dollars and 99 cents?" I ask. Magnus makes a handful of bills appear in his hand. "....that cheating" I state. "Whatever.." Magnus goes up to pay.

It was freezing cold and windy, not to mention it was snowing. And we had to walk 2 miles. When we get inside I run to the fire place and try to warm up my red face and hands. Emma was peacefully sitting on the couch, surrounded in pink stuffed animals. I'm starting to wish I had butterfly flu. "Thanks for helping us, harlies father!" I yell at him sarcastically when he walks into the room. "You're welcome, harlies friend" he laughs. I stick my tongue out at him. Ever since I called him harlies father, he's always been calling me harlies friend. I guess since He's technically my dad, and I'm his daughter, a should be calling him dad. But, it just feels weird to call someone you just met that.

We take Emma into the kitchen and lay her down on the table. We make sure to seal off the kitchen, so no butterflies try to escape. I carefully take a butterfly out and lay it on Emma's head. Emma giggles and the butterfly flys away. "No!" I shout diving at the butterfly. "Ugh, let's just use magic" Magnus says pulling out his wand. "No, the butterflies have to naturally cover Emma, or else it won't work" harlies dad says. "Ha ha, magic doesn't work in every situation" I laugh at him.

After many, many, many, MANY, attempts we were finally able to get all the butterflies on her. There was a flash of light filling the room with a bright golden glow. The butterflies take the shape of a flower above Emma and then fly out of a magically opened window. Emma was passed out, so we put her in her bed. Magnus and Jordan left and the rest of us watched a movie.

The doorbell rings and dad gets up to answer it. "Hey brother!" We here someone say in the background, and then a door slam. Dad sits down looking tired. "Who was that?" Harlie asks. "My brother." he sighs.

"You know it's rude to slam the door in people's face." His brother calls out. Dad goes back to the door and greets his smiling brother again. "What do you want?" He asks coldly. "Well, I just wanted to check up on my brothers, and since Alexander is off ruling realms-" I bite my lip, Harlie does the same. I guess we still haven't gotten over the fact that we let Alexander win.

"So, I thought I'd visit my other big bro" he grins. "Why aren't you ruling with Alexander?" Dad asks. "Ehh, never was fond of the idea of being ruler. To much rules" dads brother states. "Edward, just tell me why your here" dad looks frustrated. "Can't I just miss my big brother?" Edward asks. "No, you can't." Dad states, crossing his arms. "Aww, you have kids! Why didn't you tell me!?" He squeals, just noticing us. Dad steps in front of us. "Go away." Dad states. Edward looks sad. "Whatever, tell Susan I said hi." Edward then disappears. "He'll be back" dad sighs.
