Horrible ~

Ricky came walking towards her and caressed her head. "Just know that I smell gay… So good luck" He smirked and walked away as Racheal was left dumbfounded. 'Was it that obvious?' She cussed herself and slipped away to sleep. 

Penelope was sweating buckets but didn't realise she was the only one. She shuffled and tossed in her place before falling asleep anyway.

~In mortal world, Bread's Café~

The man kept disgusted face as he cleaned the table top. "Those bastards!" He cussed. "But I am not that mad about getting to play with her~" He smirked holding up a photo of Penelope.

"Can't wait to meet you kitten~" He said as he put the photo back in his pocket.

"Everybody! Rise and shine~" Isabelle cheerily announced as everybody woke from their deep slumber. Everyone, except Penelope. It was unlike her. She would always be the one to wake up just after Isabelle. Isabelle checked on her to find her sheets wet as if she was just drenched by the sea. She quickly pulled her out of the wet sleeping bag and unwrapped all the sheet she coiled up against her. 

Her body was burning up. Conall and the others woke up to see Isabelle shocked and on the verge of crying. Conall ran to Isabelle to take hold of Penelope's face seeing that she was burning up he carried her to the washrooms upstairs to put her into a big tub and started to fill it up with water. Everyone followed Conall mildly taken aback. Penelope was a strong girl. As long as they remember the last time she was sick was the time she ate something from the forest almost 20 years ago and she was fine in an hour or so… 

The three R's looked more devastated than the others. "I- I think it's because of the spell we performed last night…" Racheal spoke. Jack went eyes widened, and was confused more than furious "But we all did it and nothing happened to us and to be honest we all know after Isabelle and Conall, Penelope is the strongest among the wolves!"

The group agreed. Racheal looked just as puzzled as everybody else. She was most probably expecting Lila or Lia to be the one vulnerable for the spell… Lia was the youngest and Lila was a mermaid… Why would a strong werewolf be the one being sick? The three R's quickly scurried towards their books in the library. They grabbed all the books that explained about power channelling. 

Nothing in all those books mentioned a situation like Penelope's. She didn't open her eyes that long. It had been hours since everybody woke up. Isabelle started to panic and tried her best to not breakdown and break everybody's heart. The three R's struggled to find a potion or spell that could help Penelope.

Out of the blue Penelope suddenly shrieked as she coughed and breathed heavily. Hooking her arms around Conall tightly. Conall stood up and Penelope did the same shutting her eyes tightly not letting go. She quickly wrapped her legs around his torso. He clutched her waist and carried her to Isabelle. 

Penelope then held onto Isabelle not letting go. She was… crying? Her temperature was back to normal. Her face turned red as she clenched her jaw. Her eyes turned red as her face flooded with her tears. 

"It was horrible Belle- horrible…" She spoke at last. Isabelle teared up with this. She didn't ask anything. Lia ran to the library to inform the three R's that Penelope was awake then. The three R's along with Lia rushed towards the sisters who were crying together. 

The group gathered at the door, not to make Penelope any anxious. Lia walked in and sat on the bed in between Isabelle and Penelope. The both instantly hugged her and rested in her lap. The others felt relived that the both stopped crying a bit. The sisters seemed to have an everlasting bond.

The sisters were fast asleep. Lila went inside to cover them in sheets. The left went downstairs to the kitchen, to cook some food. 

"Let's cook some stew…but I don't think we have enough veggies…" Lila says worried as there was nothing to eat. 

"They have enough stuff on the Island because they grow it there… We have to create a channel or something so we can go there easily and the forces of the sea doesn't allow teleportation…" Conall adds.

"yeaaa" Racheal tried to say something. "Don't" Ricky whispered to her. She blushed a little remembering that Ricky then knew about her having a crush on Lila.
