A girl laid in the middle of the vast woods with her eyes closed. Her jacket resting underneath her head as a makeshift pillow. To most it would look like she was sleeping but really she was only resting her eyes. The forest was the one place where any one could relax. Vanessa did it on a regular bases just to kill time but today it was just to get away from everything. The past couple of days the young witch was having headaches. That weren't caused because of her using. Hearing a twig snap made her eyes shoot open. But they weren't her normal hazel color. They were as black as the night sky if anyone cared to look.

Sitting up slowly she looked around her surroundings. Raising brow a smile curled on her lips. "Come out, come out where ever you are.." she said not seeing anyone yet. She could feel some one close by but couldn't tell who it was. "Serena?" saying her elder "sister's" name made her look around a little. "If you came here to nag at me some more I'm not in the mood" annoyance clearly was wrapped around the petite brunette's words.

Serena was the only sister that Nessa didn't get along with. Serena was like the mother of the group. When ever she "used" Serena would be on her ass within minutes. "Don't make me come and find you.." she'd be lying if she wasn't a little worried. Only the daughters knew that she came here. Her cold black eyes scanned her a little in hopes of trying catch who was checking up on her "Emily? Serena? Hayley? Come on out I know you there".

Once in a while, things would get too stressful for anyone to remotely understand. To top off all the teenage drama, the boy blues, the cat fights, and the angst of being a girl in this world, she had powers. Super powers. And it scared her sometimes. She'd never be able to be normal like other kids. She had to keep everything in check, and not only that, she had to try to keep Nessa in check as well. Not that Nessa listened to her. Nessa listened to Serena only really. Even though Serena had the best intentions, and was very motherly, she came across as stern and uncaring when she lectured Nessa about using.

And all Emily could do was try to calm Nessa down after the blowouts.

Best friends. That's all they'd ever been, they knew each other more like sisters than anything else. And they were two daughters. Emily had always wanted a sister, she'd have given up her brother many times just to have a sister. But, when Vanessa came along, it wasn't so bad. Her extended family became her comfort zone. And for that, she could tell when something was bothering her.

Of course, it might just be the nausea she was experiencing as of late. It all kind of happened when they came here, it felt sort of like the same ends of a magnet being pushed together, of course, she couldn't figure out what it was from. Just that it made her sick and scared really.

"Emily? Serena? Hayley? Come on out I know you there"

"Okay, seriously... the night's pitch black and I know your eyes match it, so put the witchy stuff away, Ness... it's just me." Emily said as she stepped around a log to face Vanessa, but decided it was a good a place as any to plop down.

Emily's manner of dress was plain, as usual, a long black sweater-dress over grey skinny jeans tucked into black wool boots and a grey wool cap holding most of her hair. She pushed a few tendrils away from her eyes as she looked at Vanessa. "So, you only come out here when you regret breaking up with a boy or you're really worried about our... daughter stuff. Or both. What's up?"

Letting out a breath she shook her head "Jesus Ems could of said something a little sooner". Vanessa smiled letting her eyes shift back to her normal hazel color. "Shouldn't you be at home doing home-work or something" she said before leaning down and grabbing her jacket. Brushing off a couple leaves she slipped it back on. Zipping it up half way she looked back at her younger sister. "Wait a minute, did Serena tell you to come check up on me?" smirking she stuffed her hands into her black hooded hoody.

"Great not only do I have to worry about her now I gotta worry about you doing her bidding. What's next Hayley's gonna start being her lap-dog to?" letting out a small laugh she looked around a little forgetting where she had put her bag down. Seeing that it was a little ways away from her she grinned and lifted a hand. Her eyes flashed like fire for second as the bag lifted from the ground, came to her. Opening it she grabbed half empty bottle of water and took a tiny sip of it.

"I don't need to be watched or well checked up on every five minutes" rolling her eyes she crossed her legs and rested her back up against a large oak tree. "I'm fine by the way" she said knowing farewell that Serena had called her to make sure she was both alright and not going on a power trip like she usual did after one of her fights with Serena. "I came out here to get away from everything, not to regret breaking up with a boy. When have you ever known me to be all weepy about a boy Ems?" she said with a raised brow. Letting out a tiny sigh she closed her water bottle "And yes...something to deal with us".

"Jesus Ems could of said something a little sooner."

Emily made a pouty face as she looked to Vanessa, "But that would totally ruin the surprise!" She giggled, trying to make a little light of the situation.

"Shouldn't you be at home doing home-work or something"

"Shouldn't you be trying to get in some boy's pants?" Emily countered, her eyebrows furrowed. "There's a reason I don't have to flirt with the professors to pass..." She smirked again, "Seriously, I was worried..." The girls might not always be the nicest to each other, but in the end, they were as good as sisters. There wasn't anything that could break that bond. Best friends forever, typical cliche.

"Wait a minute, did Serena tell you to come check up on me? Great not only do I have to worry about her now I gotta worry about you doing her bidding. What's next Hayley's gonna start being her lap-dog to?"

Emily pursed her lips together, and stood up, walking a few feet from Vanessa. Serena was strict on the girls, and if they weren't careful, they'd start using and using, and get addicted. However, you just had to have a little self control. Unfortunately, that was something Vanessa lacked. "Okay, I'd rather be wrinkly and on meds than go behind my best friend's back just to please Serena. I mean, come on Nessa... you know me better than that."

Emily sighed, leaning against an oak tree, watching Nessa carefully. There was obviously a lot more going on than she wanted to say, Emily felt it too, the nightmares, the sickness... none of them understood exactly what it was. Maybe it had something to do with ascension, maybe it was just a bad flu.

"I don't need to be watched or well checked up on every five minutes. I'm fine by the way. I came out here to get away from everything, not to regret breaking up with a boy. When have you ever known me to be all weepy about a boy Ems?"

"I didn't say you get all weepy... but you get upset if you're missing the sex." Emily laughed. While Emily herself was no saint by any means, there were a few choice things she hadn't participated in yet. Sex... was one of them.

"And yes...something to deal with us."

Emily nodded, she'd noticed the change for a while too, it was so odd, it wasn't like she felt her sister's powers anymore. She felt overloaded, exhausted, from just going to school. She knew people were using, but she'd never guessed her sisters were... that strong. "What's going on with us Nessa?"

"Okay, I'd rather be wrinkly and on meds than go behind my best friend's back just to please Serena. I mean, come on Nessa... you know me better than that."

"Sorry Ems, Serena has just been drill Sargenting me the past couple weeks. As far as I know she could be getting all of you in her line of defense against me" the petite brunette said with a small shrug before drawing her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. "My sex life is perfectly fine thank you very much" she said with a tiny nod while a smirk on her lips. "Right now I just enjoy playing around with Garwin, you know with him being the resident playboy and all" giggling she shook her head.

"What's going on with us Nessa?"

"I dunno Emily" the older Salem girl said with a worried glance. "The past couple of days I've been having these extreme, uncontrollable headaches. When I have them..I can't control my powers yesterday I was in the girls bathroom when one hit me. I ended up shattering all the mirrows" sighing she closed her eyes and rested her head against the oak tree she was leaning against. "I know you've been having nightmares" she said opening her eyes and looking at Emily "What ever is going on is effecting all of us".

"Sorry Ems, Serena has just been drill Sargenting me the past couple weeks. As far as I know she could be getting all of you in her line of defense against me"

"Don't be too anti-authority, you know she's just worried. I mean, we've seen what happens if we get addicted. Kinda shitty deal... awesome powers... pruny skin and grey hair at 30..." Emily said with a slight smile, moving to sit next to Vanessa. She pulled her arm against her, kind of half hugging her, "You know we've got your back, if Serena finds out about our using it's cos' she's secretly stalking all of us..." She chuckled again a bit, putting her head against the tree beside Nessa's. It was true, Serena was horribly over protective, but Emily knew the girl meant well. Sort of. It was just annoying for the rest of them. Even so, Emily and Vanessa stuck together more than the others. Nessa would use, and Emily wouldn't tell. Simple, to the point, she liked it, It was easier than admitting her sister was walking a thin line.

"My sex life is perfectly fine thank you very much. Right now I just enjoy playing around with Garwin, you know with him being the resident playboy and all"

Emily laughed at that, it was really funny how alike those two were, and how much they couldn't stay out of each other's beds. She wondered when they'd finally admit they liked each other and get it over with. Then again, that would probably take most of the fun out of it for both of them. "Wish you wouldn't brag, some of us still need to experience a sex life..." She grinned, though in fact, she was happy with how she was. No strings, no attachments, no pressure, too shy to talk to boys anyways...

"The past couple of days I've been having these extreme, uncontrollable headaches. When I have them..I can't control my powers yesterday I was in the girls bathroom when one hit me. I ended up shattering all the mirrows"

"So... that was you? Wow... and here I thought Alex Foster finally looked in the mirror..." Emily didn't know much about Alex, just that she bugged Vanessa, and that was enough for her to dislike her. But still, whatever was happenning was a lot more serious than they could imagine. "Yea, I thought it was just me... nightmares, fever, nausea... I didn't realize it was all of us, it feels like when someone's using, but so much worse. We've gotta figure this out..."

"Wish you wouldn't brag, some of us still need to experience a sex life..."

"Awe don't worry, I'm sure theres some prince charming out there in this big bad world waiting to break down your doors and take you away on his white horse" the older girl said with a smile before grabbing a rock from beside her and twirled it around on her fingers. "Even if that Prince Charming is Tyler Simms" Vanessa said with a raised brow in Emily direction. "Come on it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know you two youngster's like each other" standing up from the ground she dusted her ass off a little.

"And so you know I approve Emily" growing up Vanessa felt like it was her duty to watch out for Emily. Even in the guy department. She made sure the younger girl didn't end up with any jerks, pigs or guys who only have only thing on their mind. "Tyler's cute, wealthy and shy just like you" smirking she stuffed her hands in to her black hoody.

"Yea, I thought it was just me... nightmares, fever, nausea... I didn't realize it was all of us, it feels like when someone's using, but so much worse. We've gotta figure this out..."

"We gotta call Seren--"Vanessa was cut short due to feeling like something had smacked itself against her temples. "E-emily...get-t out of her-re" the older girl said before slowly falling to her knees a couple soft moans escaping the petite brunette as she cradled her head with her hands. The same feeling that she had in the bathroom quickly took over making her eyes shoot open. Instead of there normal hazel color they had shifted to pure black.

Tilting her head at Emily the younger girl was forced up against the tree she was leading against. Vanessa stood up slowly her eyes never changing as Emily suddenly started to feel like she was choking. Thing was nothing was choking her it was Vanessa telekineticly choking her with a no emotion on the older girls face as she did so.

"Awe don't worry, I'm sure theres some prince charming out there in this big bad world waiting to break down your doors and take you away on his white horse"

Emily couldn't help but laugh and smile at her older 'sister'. "And you should know me better than to fall for some Disney fairy tale mumbo jumbo..." She laughed again, and shook her head. Though her face went white as Vanessa mentioned who she thought would be a good match for Emily.

"Even if that Prince Charming is Tyler Simms"

A rosy blush replaced the ghost white of her skin as Vanessa mentioned Tyler's name. Or actually... it could've been ANY boy's name. Well, it was just a little bit of a touchy subject. Emily had never really been popular with the boys, in fact she shyed away from them horribly. "Come on Nessa! It's... Tyler, cute yea, but... Tyler Simms. Whoa, no... okay I mean... seriously like what would I even... why... I don't know... no... yea no..." She stuttered, her nervousness very obvious now.

"And so you know I approve Emily. Tyler's cute, wealthy and shy just like you"

Emily couldn't help but blush harder now, "Nessa!!!!" Emily complained, her head resting against her arms.

"We gotta call Seren-- E-emily...get-t out of her-re"

Emily stood to her feet, but seconds had barely passed when Vanessa had Emily in a magical chokehold, held tightly against the tree they'd been leaning on. "...N...nessa..." Emily gasped through struggled breaths, her hands instinctively drawing against Vanessa's magical chokehold. All Emily could hope for now was that Vanessa either came to her senses, or some of her sisters felt what was going on. She prayed either happened fast.

"...N...nessa..."

At first Vanessa didn't hear Emily's plea to be released like something had triggered in head to block out everything. Her grip on the younger girls neck got a little tighter making it so no air would be able to come in or out. But as quickly as that happened it stopped and Vanessa's eyes changed back to normal. Making both the hold on Emily stop and making Vanessa drop to the ground like some sort of rag doll. Blood slowly started to drip from older Salem girl's nose as the brunette laid on the ground passed out. All of her energy put in to hurting Emily.

In her head Vanessa felt like she was trapped in her own body unable to stop her self from hurting the younger girl. It was like a movie playing right before her eyes and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She could remember screaming to self in her head to stop but it only seemed to prevok what ever was going on with her to do more damage. When she was finally able to break out of what ever was going on the world went spinning making her drop to the ground.

Her cries for Vanessa to stop fell completely on deaf ears as Nessa kept strangling Emily with her telekinesis. Tears welled up in Emily's eyes. Was Vanessa doing this... was she really doing this to her? She hoped to god there was some other force controlling her right now, if not... well... she might have to go to Serena on this one. Assuming she ever got out of this. Which seemed highly unlikely at the moment. She was running out of oxygen, and drastically fast. But as her legs grew to fall limp, Emily knew this situation was not of the quickly remedied sort. And Vanessa was simply... way too strong for her. Her hands eventually slipped from the invisible grip around her neck, and Emily's body fell limp to the ground when Vanessa's control finally resumed.

Emily laid near the base of the tree for a few minutes, her breathing sporadic as she fought to take in any air she possibly could. But she was also slipping in and out of unconsciousness, and she knew it wouldn't be long before she was completely out.

Her barely conscious mind somehow resumed a normal breathing pattern, and forced Emily to crawl as best she could to Vanessa. With one hand, she reached for Nessa's, before her vision faded to a cold unconsciousness.

"Stop it! YOUR KILLING HER! STOP!" with a shape intake a breath Vanessa sat up from the forest ground. Bringing up a hand she rubbed at her head a little feeling like she had gotten drunk the night before. She rubbed at her nose slightly due to it feeling itchy. When she brought her hand into eye level she noticed it some droplets of blood on it. Soon as she saw the blood everything that had happened moment before came crashing back down to her. "Oh god..EMILY!" eyes growing wide she turned to her left and noticed Emily's unmoving body beside her.

"No, no, no! Emily!" rolling the younger girl over Vanessa quickly noticed how red her neck was. Swallowing hard she raised a hand a pressed to fingers against Emily's neck. Feeling a pulse beat against her fingers made Vanessa let out a deep breath that she didn't even know she was holding in the first place. Resting Emily head against her lap she brushed some of her blonde hair out of her face. "Emily? wake up come on" holding back tears the dared to fall Vanessa bit down on the inside of her month.

Emily could hear Vanessa's voice somewhere in her half conscious mind, telling her to wake up, snap out of it, come back to reality. That didn't change the fact that her body was overcompensating for the paint it had just been put through. Her oxygen had been cut off, she'd passed out, and it was still, above all else, emotionally draining. Her best friend had attacked her. For no apparent reason. And for better or worse, Emily's lack of usage had left her nearly defenseless as she simply was not strong enough to combat someone like Vanessa.

"Emily? wake up come on"

It had been quite some time since Emily had passed out beside Vanessa, but she soon let out a strained gasp, her lungs filling to as much capacity as they could as she sat up, hands to her throat, brushing over where Vanessa's telekinesis had taken hold. "Nessa... this is bigger... than we can imagine..." She mumbled, looking at her closest friend. "Look what it did to you... what was that? I mean...... that wasn't you right?" She whimpered, the look of obvious pain never fading from her face.

She felt it, even from that far away. It was like a tugging in the back of her head, a pull against her mind. Hayley had been sitting on her bed, flipping through some brochures of some local events that she thought might be exciting, things like free-falling and rock-climbing; actual rock climbing. Then the ache had started. The blonde had dismissed it, sat up on her bed and rubbed her temples. Thought it was another one of her headaches, so she'd squeezed her eyes shut and willed it to go away, because she really, really didn't want anything to explode, not here, not yet. But then it turned into something else, the dull throb/ache into a sharp pull. And that was how she knew.


Emily and Nessa. They're in trouble.


She'd jumped up, slipped on her sneakers and sprinted all the way to the woods. It was times like this she was glad she ran track, because she had no idea how she would have made it, then. Her hair was quickly tied up into a loose ponytail, a pair of shorts and a blue tank on her torso. She'd made her way through the woods, brushing past twigs and leaves and allsorts, pausing for a moment to get her bearings before continuing one way again.


The sight she was greeted with, though, was the last thing she expected.


"Oh god, Em!" She stood there, almost frozen to the spot, her eyes fixed on the red mark around Emily's neck. Her eyes flicked back and forth between Vanessa and Emily, half-questioning and half-unsure. "Jesus...What the hell happened here?"

"Nessa... this is bigger... than we can imagine. Look what it did to you... what was that? I mean...... that wasn't you right?"

Finally seeing Emily's eyes open made her smile "Had me worried there for a second" Vanessa said before lifting a hand and wiping away at her eyes a little. "I don't know what that was. It was like..something triggered in my head and they next thing I knew I was hurting you. I couldn't stop it it was like watching a horror movie and not being able to look away. I'm so sorry Emily if I hadn't been able to stop...I-I could of ki--" Vanessa was cut off due to hearing a female voice come up from behide her. Blinking she turned her head and wasn't really shocked to see Hayley. If anything she was thinking Serena would be the one to appear out of no where.

Half smiling she shook her head "Guess that witchy-sense is in full gear huh?" turning her head and looking at Hayley she sighed. "It was me, I uhh lost control of powers and attacked Emily" turning her attention back to Emily she sat down on the ground beside her. Bringing up a hand she brushed back her raven colored hair "I've been having these headaches the past couple of days" the young witch said looking at Hayley for second. "When I them I lose control of my powers and who ever is near me when it happens..well that" she said lifting a hand pointing at Emily's neck.

"Had me worried there for a second. I don't know what that was. It was like..something triggered in my head and they next thing I knew I was hurting you. I couldn't stop it it was like watching a horror movie and not being able to look away. I'm so sorry Emily if I hadn't been able to stop...I-I could of ki--"

Emily looked at Vanessa as if to say... 'no shit Sherlock'... "Well yea, you use a lot more than I do, you know how to control your powers, you're a lot stronger than me... I'd 'a been a goner..." But soon another voice filled the air, Hayley's. Emily sighed, thanking god it wasn't Serena. At the moment... that was the last thing they needed, though she was sure they'd get an earful when she found them.

"Oh god, Em! Jesus...What the hell happened here?"

"I've been having these headaches the past couple of days. When I them I lose control of my powers and who ever is near me when it happens..well that"

Emily nodded, sighing with a shrug. "Pretty much sums it up..." She added, shaking her head a bit, "Cept I've been having the puking dizzy fever nightmare variety of whatever's going around..." Emily mused for a moment, a slight smile creeping onto her face, though she was still trying to assess the damage around her neck.

She bit her lip, a small frown crossing the blonde's face. Losing control of powers? They weren't all thirteen years old anymore. They knew how to control their powers. But if somebody like Nessa was losing control, over a headache, then...How the hell were the rest of them supposed to act? Hayley crossed her arms across her chest, shifting her weight to one foot.


"Headaches? Losing control of powers? Are you serious?" She wouldn't lie. She was concerned, sure, but she was also a little afraid. It was only recently that Hayley had gotten comfortable with her powers, and this?


"Cept I've been having the puking dizzy fever nightmare variety of whatever's going around..."


Hayley frowned. It sounded pretty serious - well, not that losing control of your powers wasn't serious. "God...I can't believe this. No offense Nessa, but if you're losing control of your powers so much that you're attacking Em, this sounds pretty big," She admitted, a thoughtful frown on her face. "It hasn't happened to me. Not yet. I mean, my head's been hurting a little, but I thought I was just coming down with something you know?"

"Well yea, you use a lot more than I do, you know how to control your powers, you're a lot stronger than me... I'd 'a been a goner..."

Frowning Vanessa reached forward and took Emily in to a small hug. Not saying anything she gave the younger girl a tiny squeeze before letting go and smiling. Looking over at Hayley she sighed "What ever is happening to us is effect us all differently" she said with a tiny nod. "I wonder if Serena has been experiencing anything, Haley your her best friend as she been acting odd or weird past couple of weeks?" Vanessa and Serena weren't what you called best friends.

Sure they could tolerate one another but that was pretty much it. They always got in to fights that usually ended up with them using on each other. Vanessa didn't care much but she knew deep down that Serena was just looking out for her and the other girls. She just wished Serena wasn't on her ass twenty-four seven.

"It hasn't happened to me. Not yet. I mean, my head's been hurting a little, but I thought I was just coming down with something you know?"

"Thats how it starts small then next thing you know your choking your best friend almost till death" she said shifting her gaze to Emily for a second looking at her neck. The images of seeing Emily gasping for air would be forever burned in her memory. Something to reminded her that if she did lose control of her powers that Emily and most likely the other girls would be getting the end of her power hungry needs.

"Headaches? Losing control of powers? Are you serious?"

Emily just sighed, shutting her eyes for a minute, pressing her fingers against her temples. She, herself couldn't believe all this was happening and the stress was getting to her. She sighed again, plopping her head against her arms as she pulled her legs to her chest. She looked at the other two, it was going to take more than the daughters to straighten this out... that much she definitely knew.

Emily smiled a bit as Vanessa hugged her, but she couldn't help but worry if this thing was going to control her best friend again like it had that day. It was quite possibly the scariest thought she'd ever had.

"Thats how it starts small then next thing you know your choking your best friend almost till death"

"At least tell me you didn't enjoy it..." Emily laughed a bit, and smirked at Vanessa. Hey, this was a big deal, but it wouldn't help the situation to get SO freaked out about it... she had to do something.

The blonde ran a hand through her hair. Sure, she'd never been the most responsible or anything, but she wasn't above admitting that this 'psychic plague' thing? Creeping her out. She shook her head when asked about Serena; she hadn't been. Or at least, as far as she knew. "Serena hasn't said anything to me about it." She said, although after a pause, added, "But for all I know, that could be her way of saying yes." They were all best friends, practicaly sisters, both in lineage and minds alike; but that didn't mean she understood her sister-figure any more than everybody else did. Well, maybe a tadd, but the fact still remained that Serena could very well be an enigma if she wanted to.


"Thats how it starts small then next thing you know your choking your best friend almost till death"


"Way to assure me, guys," She mumbled, and then opened her mouth to speak again, before closing it when she heard Em speak. "At least tell me you didn't enjoy it..." Hayley freaked a little at that. "Hey! That's not funny! I mean, I hate to act like Serena on you guys, but this really could be a huge problem here." Of course, by problem, Hayley really meant 'potentially life-risking event that could kill each and every one of us.' "We dont' know what's causing it, let alone what might happen the next time we get a killer-headache. I mean, this can't be fixed by taking an advil, ya know?"

"At least tell me you didn't enjoy it..."

"What! are you kidding! the last thing I did was enjoy doing that!" she said with a shock expression on her face. "I felt like I couldn't control what I was doing. Like it was some horror movie playing in front of me in high definition" the brunette said while looking at Emily. Sighing she shook her head "We gotta call Serena before what ever happens to me happen again. And if it does it might happen in more of public place if you know what I mean" she said flashing both girls worried glances. Serena was always worried that Vanessa would ended up exposing them to the public.

"We dont' know what's causing it, let alone what might happen the next time we get a killer-headache. I mean, this can't be fixed by taking an advil, ya know?"

"Yeah, likes it gonna be that easy. Hayley I've already tried that" she said as she stood up and grabbed her back-pack. Opening it she pulled out two pill bottles that were labeled advil. "See? they don't help if anything they just make them worse" stuffing the pills back in to her bag she crossed her arms. "Its just not the headaches I'm having either. I haven't been able to sleep much either" biting her lower lip she looked down for second.

"I've been having nightmares...pretty bad ones" changing her glance she looked at Emily. "Remember that night I stayed with you couple weeks back. You woke up and the lamp was broken. I told you I tripped over the cord when was the going to the bathroom. Truth was I woke up in the middle of the night..and it broke" she said with a tiny smile. "I didn't say anything because I didn't want you freaked out" bringing up a hand she scratched at her head a little sheepishly.

"What! are you kidding! the last thing I did was enjoy doing that! I felt like I couldn't control what I was doing. Like it was some horror movie playing in front of me in high defection"

"Hey! That's not funny! I mean, I hate to act like Serena on you guys, but this really could be a huge problem here."

Emily's eyes snapped wide open as she threw her hands up in defense, "Okay okay... sorry to try to make a joke... thought y'all knew how to take it..." She shrugged and shook her head. Next time... she wouldn't try to be humorous. Whatever... Sometimes serious situations called for it...... obviously she was mistaken about this time. She brushed some blonde hair away from her eyes and sat on a stump, sighing as she looked to the other girls. Hey, she was the baby in all of this... they could figure it out.

Because she was clueless.

"We dont' know what's causing it, let alone what might happen the next time we get a killer-headache. I mean, this can't be fixed by taking an advil, ya know?"

Emily's brows furrowed as she looked to Hayley. She wanted to say, 'hey what about the puking, nightmares, fevers, shakes and shivers?' but decided against it, tensions were running high right now... and best thing to do was probably keep quiet.

"Remember that night I stayed with you couple weeks back. You woke up and the lamp was broken. I told you I tripped over the cord when was the going to the bathroom. Truth was I woke up in the middle of the night..and it broke. I didn't say anything because I didn't want you freaked out"

Alex crossed her arms over her chest and pouted, much like a kid would. Probably why she was considered the baby of the group... "That was my favorite lamp too..." She mumbled, adding a slight 'hmmph' at the end. She knew Nessa hadn't meant to break her lamp... but still. It was the principle of the thing!
