I would like to dedicate this chapter to Evelyn Hall, who has helped come up with many ideas.

I heard so many voices, so many worried voices surrounding me, I was sweating madly and I could also feel my clothes sticking to my body as I was shaking madly. Then something soft and cold from the depths of my dream touched my forehead snapping me out of my panic attack and my eyelids fluttered open and the room came into view. 

When my eyes first opened I saw Pheebie and her face was creased with worry, then I realised that it was HER hand that pulled me out of my nightmare, then my eyes started to adjust more to the dim light and I realised that I had a crowed of worried faces, making me blush. Then I saw in the front row with the most concerned face of them all was Noah, Emma and to my great surprise Lillia, and she looked just as worried as the rest of them. Then just out of nowhere my stomach started to feel horribly sick and I puked all over everyone spraying vomit through the air and then it was poring all over me soaking my clothes in bits of food,

I woke up with a start,

This time I'm pretty sure I woke up for real, there was no one surrounding me except for Pheebie who looked genuinely worried and had her hand pressed against my forehead "Am I awake?" I asked Pheebie curiously, Pheebie nodded her head furiously and started stroking my hair "it's ok" she whispered "it's OK.

In the morning I was woken up by Emma shaking me awake, "come on Zoe! get up it's time to go!" I groaned and rolled around to face her "Late for what?"

"to find your parents, silly" Emma was know resorting to tickling me awake, though she didn't need to because that comment about my parents woke me up fast, but I couldn't deny the tickles and started giggling madly, and trying to kick her off of me. Then finally I succeeded and jumped out of bed before she could get another shot at me and shooed her out of the room so I could get changed.

By the time the group and I were ready and had breakfast it was 7:00 in the morning, and we were out in the forest before any of us knew it. But the just when the campsite had come out of view something VERY strange happened....

Lillia started smiling and skipping? I was so taken aback by her change of attitude that I stumbled over my feet, making me nearly fall, but someone caught me halfway from the ground and put me back onto my feet. I looked up to see who my savior was and saw a smiling Lilia, Oh my gosh, she was scaring me horribly, I stumbled back again, nearly falling onto my back, but this time Noah caught me and lowered me down, but still holding onto me, as if to make sure that I wouldn't fall. When I met his eyes I saw that he was staring at me intensely and I blushed and pulled away from him, making me stumble over a tree branch, which then made me stumble into Lillia, who then caught me and spun me around again. ): (that sad face was dedicated to my friend Indianna). I couldn't stand it, I pulled away from her and made sure I kept my balance and didn't bump into anyone else, "What is with you?" I asked Lillia, my voice came out squeaky and high pitch. Lillia's face shrunk a bit, "you don't know?", 

"know WHAT!" I screamed

"well, you  don't know my curse?, my twin?, My split sole?
