Chapter 3.
Chase's POV.
I yawned as I came into the house after school, with everyone else wide awake behind me. Normally it was the other way around.
"Hey, how was school?" Mr. Davenport asked.
"It was-yawn-good." I replied.
"Chase, are you feeling alright?" He asked as he placed his hand on my forehead, looking for a fever.
"I'm fine, just tired." I assured as I yawned again.
"Chase, I want you to get some rest."
"I'm ok. Besides, I have homework."
"Chase I am serious, go get some rest. That's a order."
"Fine." I groaned as I went over to the couch and fell asleep almost immediately as my head hit the pillow.
Little did I know what would come next.
Bree's POV.
I smiled as my brother immediately fell asleep on the couch. He had been tired all day and I'm glad Mr. Davenport convinced him to sleep. Adam, Leo and I had ordered a pizza for dinner since Mr. Davenport and Tasha were at a dinner for Tasha's work when I suddenly heard someone gasping. After making sure Adam or Leo wasn't chocking, I turned around to see Chase gasping for air. Freaking out immediately, I started to wake Chase up.
"Chase! Chase, wake up! Please!" I yelled as I shook him frantically.
After a few seconds of constant shaking and screaming, his face started turning blue.
"No! Chase, please! Just wake up!" Adam screamed.
Then I saw Chase open his eyes and gasp for air.
"I'm calling Big D now." Leo explained as he took his cellphone into the other room.
"What was that?" Chase asked, short of breath and on the verge of tears.
"Shh. It's ok." I soothed as I held him in my arms, trying to get him calmed down.
"Answer me." Chase begged.
"I have no idea what happened to you. Mr. Davenport will be here soon, I promise. Then he'll figure it out." I explained.
"I just got off the phone with Big D. He said he is coming immediately, but mom is staying at the banquet." Leo announced as he came back in.
-Time skip to ten minutes later-
Davenport immediately came into the house just as I had fully calmed down Chase.
"Are you ok?" He asked as he came over to us.
"I think so." My brother sighed.
"Alright, I'll scan you and figure out what is going on. Can you walk to the lab?" Our "father" asked.
"Yeah." He pushed himself off the couch as he and I followed Mr. Davenport to the lab.
When we got down there, Adam and Leo were playing with one of Mr. Davenport's inventions.
"Hey! Put that down! It's more expensive then all four of you put together!" He yelled as he pried it out of Adam's hands.
"Actually, a individual is worth 45 million dollars. So that times four is 1.8 E11. Is it worth more then that?" Chase asked.
"Ok, smartly pants. Get in your capsule so I can scan you." Mr. Davenport explained with a glare from Chase's comment.
Chase jumped in and closed the door as our "father" set up multiple scans. I pulled out my phone and Adam and Leo started playing Cyber-pong when a loud beep rang through the lab, meaning the scans were done. I slid my phone back into my pocket as Chase climbed out. Mr. Davenport put the results on his computer and gasped.
"What is it?" I asked in concern as I laid my hand on Chase's shoulder.
"Chase...you have Ondine's curse."
Sorry about taking such a long time to update.
I am no longer doing this with BionicWolfLover, so I wanna ask Cinderellatessy1 to make me a new cover, if you can.
Over and out.
