The Redbird's story.

Elliot looked around the room, paniced. She didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she remembered what Mickey had done earlier. Determined and without another thought, she took his cup of tea and put some in her mouth before leaning down and pressing her lips against his, helping him drink this way. She pulled back and repeated this until the cup of tea was empty.

"HEY!" MAtt called he walked in to see tyler and saw what elliot was doing.

Elliot looked back when Matt came in. "What?" She asked, not sure what he was yelling about. "I was helping him drink, he fell asleep again!" She said.

"don't do that let Micket do it next time," matt said he sock his. "Your mother might kill me.' he thought.

Elliot shrugged. She lay back down since the room began spinning again.

'What does it matter? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?' she thought, confused.

Blake ran into the cottage. The lumpy bag held close to his chest a big smile on his face.

~~
Matt took the cup and walked back downshairs.

Cora had given up on finding Blake and was back in the cottage. She saw him run in with a bag and went up to him.

"What's that?" she asked, pointing at it.
~~~
Ellioit's forehead began to feel warm again and she lay back down on the bed close to Tyler.

Blake held the bag close to him. "Were's Layla and Sally?" He asked.

~~
Tyler was sleeping peacefully.

Sally finished doing her chores and came into the cottage.

Layla was still doing most of the chores, she was almost finished.

Blake smiled and truned the bag upside down. Three apples rolled out onto the table.

Cora blinked in surprise when she saw the apples. "Where'd you get them?" She asked, looking back at Blake.
~~~
Elliot had fallen asleep again.

Blake was sweaty and out of breath. "I worked hard for them." He said with hard breaths.

"For who?" Cora asked.

"Does it matter?" Blake asked handing each of his sisters an apple, in the end there was any left for him, but he already knew that would hape and he didn't mind. "An old man." Blake said.

Cora took the apple and turned in over in her small hands.

"Thank you," she finally said. "But you didn't have to do that," she added.

Sally took the apple smiling. "thanks", she said.

Layla wasn't in the cottage she was out doing the last bit of her chores.

Blake nodded. He set the last aple on the table for Layla to eat later.

Cora just looked at the apple, making no move to eat it.

"What's wrong, Cora?" He asked.

~~
Mickey walked bac into the room with aother cup of medacine for Elliot.

"Nothing," Cora said, but still didn't eat.
~~~~
Elliot was curled up in a small ball under the covers, still sleeping.

Mickey shock Elliot gently.

~~
Blake frowned. "Then eat it." Blake sounded kinda funny because one of his front teeth had fallen out while running around.

Cora shrugged. "I'm going to save it," she said. Thruthfully she didn't want Blake to watch her eat it so she wouldn't owe him anything.
~~~
Elliot slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mickey.

Blake smiled. "I did good?" He asked.

~~
Mickey handed her a cup of Purple liquid. "Drink this."

She set aother cup on the bedside table. "Have him drink this id he wakes up." She said.

"If?" Elliot asked, looking up at Mickey, tears in her eyes again.
~~~~
"What happened to your tooth?" Cora asked, pointing at his mouth. She avoided his other question.

Blake frowned." It been loss for days now." He said. "But did I do good?"

~~
"You're getting your hopes up aren't you?" Mickey asked.
