"Whats wrong with him?"

"I- I don't know!?" Izzy said, Worried and Distressed. Knelt down and holding Peter's motionless body.

"What do we do? "

"I have no idea!" Izzy puts the back of her hand against Peter's forehead. "Oh my word, He's burning up! Meghan get him water."

Meghan tries to pull water from the lake, but she has her back turned to the lake.

"Umm, Megs..." Luke says resting his forehead in his hand in disappointment. But can you blame her? She's blind.

When her vision comes back she realizes her mistake and turns around. She slowly lead a path of water onto Peter's tiny forehead, and he wakes up.

"Peter!" Izzy said with relief. "Are you okay? What happened?" She said while pulling his limp body into a hug.

"I'm okay. When Tunay uses his power I get weaker." Peter said weakly

"He must be trying to kill him" Meghan whispers to Luke.

"How would you know that?" Izzy asked

"Well I'm guessing that he's using his power a lot, trying to make peter so weak that he dies." Meghan said

Peter begins crying. "I don't wanna die!"

"We know sweetie, we wont let that happen" I said, kneeling beside Izzy and him.

"How long was I asleep?" Peter asked, while Izzy wiped the tears off his cheeks.

"You didn't fall asleep, you fainted. It's what happens when you don't get enough oxygen to your brain, or you grow very weak like you did" I explained.

"Well it felt like I went to sleep. I even had a dream" Peter insisted

"What happened in you dream?" Luke asked, bringing Meghan to come sit down beside us.

I think he knew we all just wanted a moment to sit down, and rest without worrying about being struck by lighting.

"I was in the raft, and I was floating along a river. Then I heard someone yell that there was a waterfall ahead. I got really scared, and there wasn't a way to get out of the water. Apparently everyone who was in the water had been invited to a really rich guys party, I went with my parents. There's was one rule in this guys house, no one could go into the east wing of his mansion. A married couple was told by the butler that whoever went into the east wing first would get all of the mans money, so they went in. And the we all followed them. The butler lied, whoever went into the east wing would be thrown into this river for inevitable death. This rich guy had a son, and he told his son to go stand by the river knowing that he would probably fall in and die. And that is exactly what happened, but his dad caught him at the bottom, it was a miracle. His dad told him once again to go stand the river and whoever floated by and admitted that they went into the east wing, could be tossed a rope in and were given a room in his huge mansion. But if they were saying it just to get out of the water, or to get the room were not given a rope. You had to be totally sincere about admitting it just cause you felt bad. I felt really bad about breaking the rules, my parents always told me not to do that. So he gave me a rope and pulled me in. But my parents didn't say it, they didn't want to admit that they did something wrong" Peter explained

"Peter you were only out for a few minutes, how did you have that long of a dream?" Meghan said very confused

Peter smiled and began to speak then fainted again.

"Peter! Not again!" Izzy screamed

"Guys we need to move!" Luke yelled

"No we have to wake up Peter!" I yelled back

"No guys we need to move now!" He screamed back

"Why?" Meghan asked

"Tornado!" Luke yelled while pointing across the lake

Izzy picked Peter up and we ran deeper into the nearby woods.
