Chapter 21: Lost~

•Previously•

"Isabelle, where are they!?" Jack half-yelled as he reached the entrance to see that Lia, Randy and Conall were not there yet.

"I don't know..."

|•••|

"Where the heck are we!?" Randy screamed. 

"No no no no no no this is all my fault… I should have practiced more" Lia whined. Now the first mission for Randy and Conall was to calm Lia down. Nobody would like to see Lia Hyperventilate and faint...

"Shhhh" Conall sat behind Lia patting her shoulders softly, one at a time. "Breath honey... Breath and count till 10" He whispered behind her. When her breathing was back to normal she wrapped her arms around Conall and whimper.

"It's not your fault Lia" Randy softly spoke as he caressed her hair. "You are the youngest among us, nothing would ever be your fault" Randy cracked into small chuckles. 

Lia sniffled a bit more and pulled herself together. "Conall will you be able to teleport us back to the cottage?" He nodded and gathered them around into a circle. He teleported them back to the cottage entrance right where Jack and Isabelle were. 

"Jeez! What took you guys so long I was so worried about you guys" Isabelle sighed as she hugged Conall.

"Sorry we just got a little lost" He chuckled and grunted as Isabelle started to hit on his broad back. 

"Why is Lia all so read did she cry what happed!?" Isabelle yelled as she dashed towards Lia who sat down on the ground to control her breath.

"Ah- that.... She just got a little bit panicked when we ended up inside the forest" Randy nervous scratched his earlobe.

"Did you have a panic attack?" Jack said squeezing Lia's cheeks. She silently nodded and looked at him. "Did you-" as Jack started Lia cut in to assure Jack.

"Yes, I did cross my arms and tap my shoulders one by one while counting till 10! Well Conall did-" 

Isabelle laughed in relief "Let's get you guys inside and check on Rachie eh?"

They walked in through the large garden of magical spices and ingredients. Randy pushed the large door to reveal a marvellous view of their cottage. The wide stair case starting in between of the hall led in two directions leading to two different corridors which then consisted of their rooms, study hall and potions room. Behind the stairs was the hidden pantry always filled with magical ingredients. Kitchen and dining was at the other corner of the hall and opposite to it was a lavish sofa and a tea table.

They walked across the hall to the stairs on the bright green mat and started climbing the wide stairs. They reach upstairs to see a sick Ricky, Lila and Penelope sitting on Racheal's bed as she frantically went through the yellow pages of a huge book.

"Oh Randy atlast! Now let's get brewing shall we!" Racheal announced as they walked in. Jack carried Lila to Racheal's Bathroom and laid her into the water to avoid water withdrawals for then.

"Add some sea salt in the tub!" Racheal yelled from her bedroom. "It's on the top shelf by the sink. Beside the soaps!" 

Jack got Lila all settled in the salty tub. The three Rs studied the pages of the book seriously while precisely adding the ingredients and stirring the cauldron. 

"Did you add the ingredients from the chest Randy?" Racheal asked. They talked indistinctly as the rest of the group headed down stairs to kill some time and play some games.

 ~After 2 tiring hours~

"We are done!" Ricky shrieked proudly after brewing a really complicated potion. Everybody again gathered near Racheal's room to look at the potion which was supposed to cure Lila of her water withdrawals curse. They carefully fetched it into a little glass bottle and closed it with a cork.

The group headed Lila who was now nicely taking a nap in the warm bath water with her tail sticking out. "Li~ Here it is~ The potion~" Racheal called out in a sing-song manner. She slowly knelt beside Lila to wake her up. Lila jumped up with excitement and swallowed her nervousness as she believed the Three Rs. 

"So I gotta drink it?" Lila asked looking at the still chunky looking liquid. Really hoping to not have to get that through her throat.

"God no! We add it to the water that you are in!" Ricky chortled. 

Racheal looked at Ricky and Randy before looking back at Lila. "Ready?"

"Yes!"

She uncorked the now fuming potion. She carefully added 3 drops of the potion into the tub and started to stir it while chanting loudly. The salty water turned to blue foam growing in the tub every second. 

"Rachie is this supposed to happen!?" Lila Panickily yelled. "It burns! Help!"

Racheal held back Jack and others from touching the foam or Lila. "Get her some water to drink! A lot actually!" She commanded. Racheal chanted louder and held Lila's hand. The foam started decreasing until there was nothing left. 

Lila drank almost 10 glasses of water to bring her body temperature back to normal. 

"Now we wait and see if the spell worked" Randy said as he and Jack helped Lila out of the tub. They laid her and tucked into Racheal's bed. 

"I can feel it, I can feel that it worked!" Lila smiled at Racheal. Racheal laid beside her caressing her hair. "I hope" She smiled.

~Present~

•Lila's POV•

I smiled to myself thinking about how Racheal saved my life and also cured my curse... I kept smiling until I fell asleep and drifted off to dream the night away.

•Lia's POV•

'This doesn't seem right... Living as mortal has changed me... I don't feel the same way as I felt back then about Jack...'

I kept thinking to myself staring at Jack who was sleeping peacefully like a baby.

'God help me.... Help me think... Maybe we just need a break....'

The cold breeze moved my hammock as the nature was rocking me to sleep. I swallowed all my thoughts and hugged myself to sleep.
