Once we got to the infirmary, we saw Lycan. "Oh my God Lycan!" "Shh!" said one of the nurses. "Sorry." I whispered. Lycan looked over to where the voice was coming from. "Neve? Is that you?" "Yes. Oh Lycan thank God your alive. I was afraid you had died." I said in tears. "I'm fine. I have been recuperating since you have been gone." "Lycan I may have found your family. I think you might be my cousin. Did you by any chance have a sister name Zee?" I asked excitedly. "How did you know? Oh my God so its true. You are our cousin. I found your mom, dad and sister. Actually they found me. They are living with the other cousins and family in the woods. Your sister thought you were dead. Lycan have you heard of the Fox Princess?" "Yes I have. Well you are looking at the next one, and the first Fox Prince Lucia." "Wow Lucia. Last time I saw you, you were a baby." "Yep. Now I big and strong." He flexed his tiny muscles. "Haha yeah you are." said Lycan. "We may be late for the journey, but Its worth it. I need to talk to the nurse a moment." I wanted to get him home as soon as possible. That is more important than my journey right now I thought.
"Hello nurse?" "Yes how may I help you." "I am Lycans cousin. Do you know what happened to the ones who took him in?" "They both died 5 years ago in the war. After Lycan is better we don't know what will happen to him." "Like I said, I am his cousin. I know his birth parents. I know he is in a wheelchair, but may I take him back home?" "I would talk to the doctor first." "Thank you madam. I will." I found the doctor and told him the same situation. "I see. Yes that's fine. Just be very careful with him in he snow. Let me just do one last checkup on him before you go." "Ok thanks." The doc did his check up and said, "He may or may not be able to walk. He was hurt pretty bad. So if he doesn't walk again be prepared ok? I need you to sign here. Saying that you checked him out." "Thank you kind doctor." "Your welcome. Its my job to help people. Lycan? Be nice to these people ok? Don't give your family a hard time." "Haha. Ok doc. I'll try not too." "Come on Lucia. Quinn and Wren are waiting outside the gates for us." On our way to the gates, I spotted my old friends in our special spot. "Hang on a sec. Hello girls and boy." "Neve? Neve! We missed you. Lucia we missed you too." Said Alyssa. "I cant stay long. Its good to see you though. When I get back though, I will be sure to come back OK? At least I will try. Its good to see you all alive." "Yes it is." "Hey Lycan." said the young boy Jaz. "Hey guys guess what? I found out I am actually Neve's cousin. I am going back home." "I am so happy for you. said Jaz. Alyssa and Sam. "Get better soon ok?" "I will try." "Ok lets. go." I said.
Once we were outside the gate, Quinn and Wren saw a boy in a wheelchair. "Sorry guys. We have to backtrack on our journey. This is Lycan. Uncle Keelo and Aunt Frostines son and Zee's brother." "Nice to meet you." Said Quinn. "Like wise." "Are you sure you want to do this Neve?" "Yes I have too. Maybe Zee will be able to face people again." "OK but we can't stay for long alright." Quinn and Wren took turns pushing the wheelchair.
Once we got back home, Keelo and Frostine met us at the door. Quinn and Wren were blocking Lycan to surprise them. "Why are you here Neve?" said Keelo. "You are supposed to be on your journey?" "I have a surprise uncle and aunt. OK you two." Quinn and Wren moved and they had wide eyes. "Lycan is that really you?" said Frostine. "Yeah its me. Mom." "You recognize us?" said Keelo. "Dad I remember that deep voice that scares people. Where is Zee?" "Oh I will take you too her now. Uncle I am going to follow you. After they reunite we will leave. I promise." "OK Neve follow us then. You boys as well." "Yes sir." Said Wren.
We went to Zee's part of the house, and Lycan was being blocked for a surprise. "Hey Zee." said Neve. "Neve your supposed to be on your journey." "I know. Remember what I said about not getting your hopes up cause I wanted to be sure? I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure. Now I am. OK everyone." Once everyone moved. She was shocked. She looked at her mom and dad. "Yes its true Zee. Its really him." Said Frostine. "Lycan oh my God your alive!" She gave her brother a big hug. "Careful Zee." I said. "He is still recuperating after five years. It was the same village I was from there was a war five years ago." "Oh I'm so glad your alive Lycan!" "Oh sis. I missed you so much." I hate to do this and break up their reunion but I have to because I have to leave soon. "Excuse me." said Neve."Lycan may I give you a hug? I don't know when I will be back." "Yes of course cousin." I gave Lycan a big hug and he thanked me. "Thank you so much. I have missed them and you. I was worried about you, you know." "Now you will have to worry more. I will probably see you in a year or two depending on how long the journey will take. "OK we are leaving now. Zee promise us you will be around people now. We want to see you having fun with your brother and the others when we get back ok?" "Yes certainly." "We will hold you on that promise cousin. Ok lets go boys." we all left from the journey there.
On our way on the journey, Quinn took out a map of where we would be headed first. "Looks like there are some villages on the way. Maybe we can stop by those and rest. Otherwise we will have to rest outside." said Quinn. "Lets see. Looks like we are here, and we have to go here to Aunt Frostines village. It also looks like we will have to travel by ship. Uncle Keelo gave us money to get a ride to Frostines village. Other than that, we should have money go get food at some villages."
It had been awhile since we have been walking. Then I spoke up. "It has been awhile since we rested. How far is it to the next village?" "Lets see." said Wren. He looked at the map and said, "It looks about 2 more miles to the next village. Why don't we rest here a bit until we walk another 2 miles." We put there bags down and sat on the ground in relief. "Phew. Get to rest." said Lucia. "I know right?" I said. I laid down feeling a little tired than I thought. I closed her eyes for a bit and went into a deep sleep. Lucia saw his sister and was worried. "Sis you ok? Neve. Big sis!" Quinn looked to where Lucia was yelling. He and Wren saw Neve sleeping and were worried themselves. Quinn felt Neve's forehead and said, "She has a slight fever. I will carry her to the next village. We should start heading out now before her fever worsens. Wren we may need to alternate with Neve. Lucia if you need Help, one of us will give you a ride on our backs as foxes ok? "Yes Quinn." They were off to the next Village.
They finally got to the next village, then Wren was checking around to see see if there was an inn somewhere. He finally found one. Wren went in and asked for 2 rooms. He got the keys and all of them went to Neve's Room first to help her on the bed. Then Quinn told them how it was going to work. "Wren and I will share a Room and Lucia can stay with his sister on the couch or next to her whatever you choose." "Yeah. OK." "Lucia let us know if anything goes wrong. We will be next door." "Yes sir." said Lucia. He went to his sisters side and held her hand. Lucia touched his sisters forehead and said "ouch." He ran Next door and knocked on Quinn and Wrens door. "It me. It my sis." Quinn opened the door. "What happened to your sister?" "She hot. Wren stay here with Lucia. Ok Lucia. I will be back. Ok? "He went to Neve's Room and felt her forehead. It was hotter than he thought it would be. He was thinking of going to the doctor but wasn't sure if he should thinking it had something to do with the Fox Princess. He took his chances anyway and went downstairs and asked the receptionist where the closest doctor was. "Oh good. Its not far then." He said to himself. He rushed to see the doctor. Once he found the doctor he told him about his Cousin who has a high fever and if he would be willing to check her out at the inn. "Yes." Said the doctor. "I will follow." "Thank you."
