Chapter 27 – What Makes A Bad Idea a Bad Idea?

Chapter 27 – What Makes A Bad Idea a Bad Idea? “Ergh…..” Anna groaned as she flopped onto her back, her limbs were noodles that stretched over the small bed. “You okay Anna?” Jen asked, after coming back into the room to pick up her bag, only to find Anna who stood up and stretched, only to lay back down in pale pain.  Anna mumbled, “Yeah… slept wrong…. Arm dug into my stomach while I was sleeping, someone decided to flop around a bit too much before fully sleeping.” “Don’t blame your sisters.” Jen stroked their head, “Now do you want me to bring in your late breakfast?” “No thank you I’m fine, I’ll wait for dinner,” Luna replied. However, Jen only laughed, “Silly girl, you can’t do that, you need proper nutrients to grow!”  She left the room to get her child a small bowl of food, and the moment Jen had left the room, Anna had time to think about her decision making. Cause she wasn’t feeling awful because she slept wrong, no, that was a lie. The trio had decided to go ahead with the ‘Eat the bad food and determine if it is poisonous or not with their abilities’ plan, and ate one of the potentially poisonous zeki. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They did this secretly during the night before they went to bed, but the original plan was to eat it during the day. However, that obviously didn’t go exactly to plan… [Couldn’t you have burned it, chucked it, or something…] (Luna) [Nah, you were the one screaming to not let them see it.] (Syrus) [...I apologise… for my stupid decision making… I should never have suggested it…] (Eva) Due to a certain sequence of events which nearly led to George finding the purple zeki they were hiding to eat tomorrow. Anna had to get rid of the evidence, and so Syrus swallowed the whole thing whole. [No it is all good Lilly, I’ll fix us up once our parents leave.] (Luna) [Exactly, until then we’ll just be a bit woozy.] (Syrus) [Thanks guys… but we wouldn’t have to deal with this if I hadn’t suggested it.] (Lilly) Syrus laughed, [I think you're the one who is dealing with the feeling the worst, don’t worry, you’ll get used to it, and besides we were able to prove your theory.] The good news about this whole situation was that they learned the zeki was poisonous. Syrus and Luna were familiar with the traits of being poisoned, and it helped that the poisonous zeki basically attacked their insides once it was inside–that made the poison traits more obvious.   They were able to last through the night thanks to Syrus who used her blood attribute to keep the body energised and heal any damage the poison caused. Even if the damage was only small, because the source was still in the system and she didn’t want to vomit it up so they could have Luna examine it when they had time, they had to deal with an icky feeling all night. Plus vomiting would give it away that they ate a purple zeki. The reason why they ate the zeki at night was because of a chain reaction that was caused by a rodent entering the house and George was trying to catch it. As George was about to search in the corner under Anna’s pile of stuff while looking for the rodent, Lilly distracted him with a question and Luna had mentally screamed for Syrus to do something, and well that something led to this situation. They dealt with the now confirmed poisonous zeki that was within their system throughout the night. It was going to be Luna’s job to help with the curing process when they ate the zeki, but she couldn’t do that during the night as it would be extremely obvious and wake up their parents. So they just dealt with it. Luna asked the important question, [Okay now that we know it is poison, how do we figure out what is causing the poisoning?] [You know what, leave it to me.] Syrus replied confidently, [But Eva, I'm going to need your expertise for it.] [Okay?] (Eva) Greeeeaoooowwwww Then their stomach let out a sad growl. Luna said, “Let’s deal with this first…” Which they all agreed to.
