May groaned, getting up.

Her chest hurt for some reason.

Ignoring it, she went to get breakfast, rubbing her eyes as she walked into the kitchen.

She had been awake for way too late.

Going into the kitchen, she sluggishly made herself a bowl of cereal, then ate it and curled up on the couch.

It felt like the inside of her ribs was under pressure, and she was getting tired of it really quickly.

Then, she remembered something the nurse had said.

"Magic overuse can sometimes cause slight parasitic magic to be able to enter into someone, not major unless it's really bad but it can cause irritation and fatigue, as well as pain. Please tell us if you have any of these symptoms, okay?"

May groaned into the couch cushion.

"Oh, that is just fantastic..."

Then, someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it!" Bri raced down the stairs, almost face planting. Catching her balance, she opened the door. "Oh, hi!"

Warren nodded. "Hello."

"HIIII!" Zack shouted, causing Bri and Warren to flinch.

May shot up and ran to her parents.

Warren picked her up and hugged her.

Crying, May looked at them in the eyes, then asked, "We're okay now?"

Warren and Zack smiled. Warren hugged her closer. "We're okay now."

——————————

Whoooo, short chapter but they're finally back together!

So, May ended up catching a parasitic magic by breathing it in. It's attacking her lungs. Since it isn't a bad artistic magic like Shade's, it won't cause lasting damage, but it will make her sick until she gets it out, so... Yeah.

Anyway, I hope y'all liked  the chapter! 

See you in the next one!

Bye!
