Chapter 2

Thomas and Rachel went back with their family’s and didn't do much else but worry for their friend.

Rachel and Thomas had decided to take the bus to school. They sat next to each other and didn't speak to anyone the whole way including each other.

When they arrived they were flocked by every kid in the school who had ever even saw Jayson in any way. Thomas saw how uncomfortable Rachel was on the subject. He told everyone that they had nothing more to say and pushed through everyone and finally made it to their classes. All during their lunch break they searched every medical website for some answer to what was going on with Jayson.

They found absolutely nothing at all as to what was wrong with their friend. They planned on visiting Jayson after school had ended. School seemed to drag on with no more concern from the other students and very little from the teachers. I hope he's doing better today. Said Rachel. I mean I’m not expecting a fast acting miracle or anything but that would be nice. All I want is for him to be okay. Me too. Replied Thomas. Maybe he will be better today. I think that they would have called us. He replied. His parents know how much he is to us.

So either he is better or he is the same or he is even worse and they want to tell us in person. She said. When school had finally ended they raced to the hospital. There were even more people this time and it seemed like everyone in the waiting room was there for Jayson. Everyone had gotten ten extra minuets as long as you went in in groups of two or more.

The main reason for this is that the doctors didn't think he could make it any longer then a week or so. When Thomas and Rachel finally made in for their visit they discovered that Jayson had been hooked up with machines early. His fever had been rising and going back down again to one hundred fifteen and it looked like even more of his color had drained from him. He looks even worse then before. Whispered Rachel. I know. Replied Thomas. It's awful what he's having to go through. What if he really can hear us? She replied. I don't think he'd be calm having to listen to everyone saying of awful he looks and them talking about how long he really has. So today let's try and keep it light. Maybe we can read him his book he got on his birth day. Thomas wiped a tear away from under his glasses. Okay. He replied.

I guess so, Rachel went through Jayson's black back pack and pulled out the hero.

Rachel and Thomas sat in the chairs that were on either side of Jayson.

Rachel pulled back her semi-long auburn hair out of her face and began to read the book.

Once “a long time ago” an evil sorcerer named Guylest created an evil army of dark wizards, who had the power to conjure spells and enchantresses could conjure only some spells their main ability to manipulate people other objects and anything else they want. And another were breakers [when good they are referred to as healers], can heal and poison other people as well as having a good memory with potions and other things. Guylest called his soldiers darklings. He used his evil followers to invade the hidden realm of Tanlon. He burned homes and destroyed the kingdom to almost nothing.

Guylest was winning his fights aginst the Tanlon soldiers and thought nothing could stop him.

It wasn't until the mako,Tukon, showed up that things changed. [A mako is the strongest and powerful wizard ever, they only appear every now and then,they had powers that no other magical being had]. With him were his companions the enchantress, Linwonk, and the healer, Ponton,.

Linwonk and Ponton had the most power any of the others but Tukon.

They fought with Guylest for hours. Poton and Linwonk dealt with the darklings while Tukon fought with Guylest.

The army of darklings was almost vanished all that was left was Guylest.

Tukon was knocked down and got hurt seriously and didn't know how long he could last.

He took the final blow on his feet but before he fell he cast one last curse that bannished Guylest and the rest of his army to the dark forest for one thousand years. He also placed a spell on the kingdom of Tanlon that would put them in a reserved sleep as long as Guylest wasn't around. He wanted for them to see their victory. After Guylest was pulled into the forest, he fell before Linwonk and Ponton.

they kept them awake so that they could help him. Ponton could not heal him, his wounds were to deep. He asked Linwonk to remove their powers and set them on a search for one thousand years to make sure a worthy blood line is found. Linwonk and Ponton agreed and Linwok then made a large sphere and touched it to each of their foreheads. She released it in to the sky to search for the worthy blood lines.

After Tukon passed the enchantress and the healer finished the preparations for the new mako.

No more records were found on Linwonk and Ponton after that. People have tried to find information on them but found nothing on the subjects.

Wow. Said Thomas, once Rachel had finished reading. The story almost seemed true.

I hope Jayson heard it and enjoyed it. She replied. They stayed and talked to him and each other fighting back tears until their visiting time was up. They didn’t stay long at the hospital after their visit because more and more of Jayson's relatives arrived.

Rachel and Thomas decided that they would visit him more tomorrow.

Later on that day they decided to go research books on anything that might help Jayson at the library. They searched all through the medical books, D.V.D's ,C.D.'s and anything else they could find and brought them back to Rachel's house. They spread everything out on the dinning room table down stairs and looked over everything.

The two friends looked for hours and hours but came across nothing that would work with what ever Jayson had. Still no one had any idea on what he had. There's nothing here! Shouted Thomas. Calm down. Said Rachel. We'll figure this out. There are tons of doctors and specialists working on it as we speak. You know Rachel we've been friends for years all of us, even when you had no other friends, and I thought you would at least are enough to try and figure out what's wrong with Jayson. But I guess I was wrong. It seems like you don't care about him at all. He replied. Me and you were never very popular like he was and is but he hung out with us anyways. He stuck up for us and you don't even care. She was stunned at Thomas's words. How dare you even think that I don't care. Said Rachel. If anyone cares it's me! I think you need to leave Thomas. Her eyes filled with tears as she said this. Thomas was shocked that he had said that to her but didn't take it back. He just walked out the front door and left for his house to think. Rachel continued searching through the books and listening and watching the tapes until midnight came. She woke up early and barley ate breakfast and went to school on the bus.

She sat as far as she could from Thomas instead she sat next to her other friend Molly.

She had asked her to come with her to visit Jayson. Molly had said yes because she hadn't seen Jayson since he was at school the day he collapsed. So how is he doing? She asked. You'll just have to see him. Replied Rachel. But he's not like what you remember. He's lost most of his color and warmth and his heart beat is fading and the doctors have no idea what's wrong with him. Molly didn't ask about him any more the rest of the way to school. School was even worse this time. Thomas didn't really have anyone else he wanted to be around[he had other friends but he wasn't in the mood to talk]. During lunch, Rachel sat with Molly and her friends. Rachel had never met them before and she kept to her self, Sometimes she would answer a random question about Jayson or herself but that was it.

The eight hours of school felt like a life time and with no one really to talk to. Rachel left with Molly to the hospital to visit her sick friend.
