Chapter 5

Luna

I was in so much pain as I became conscious again. My side was hurting a lot but what was worst was the searing pain in my back. I screamed as it intensified and I rolled over and saw that my brother was starting to grow tiny wings. I screamed as I saw them rip out of his back and spread themselves out. His neck was getting longer too and my dad was just standing there with his mouth wide open.

"Do something!" I yelled, struggling to get up. As soon as I said that he ran out of the room. Well so much for him. I rolled off the bed onto the floor and crawled over to him. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it. Right then my dad came in with a blanket and wrapped it around him. Do you really think that would help him? I thought.

"Follow me!" He said, as he lifted him up into his arms, leaving the room. I followed him slowly as we walked through the hall. We turned left and walked towards this big door. My dad opened it, we walked into this giant bathroom. We walked to the side of a big but shallow tub. I watched as he turned the hot water knob halfway and then the cold water knob a quarter of the way. The tub filled up and he shut the water off.

"Get in and hold your brother so that only his head is above water. It will stop and reverse the transformation." He told me. So I climbed in and held my arms out. As he unwrapped him I saw that his wings were all scaly and halfway stuck. As dad slowly set him in my arms he mumbled something, And suddenly my back burned like it was on fire. I watched as my dad scrambled out of the way and in the corner of my eye I saw the edge of the same scaly wing as I saw on my brother. I turned my head and looked behind me. My eyes widened as I saw that scaly wings were coming out of my back. I screamed as my neck burned like fire. My body was all numb and suddenly I felt everything and I mean every part of my body felt all mixed up. I looked at my father and saw his expression. "Help me dad. Please!" I pleaded to him. He walked over and got into the tub with me and my brother, he held me and my brother with only our heads out of the water. Slowly my body relaxed and I could breath more easily. I slowly turned towards my brother and saw that his body had returned to normal, even his eyes were open. I looked at my body and saw that my wound was gone. Oh my god. I am all healed and my brother was back to normal. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
