Chapter Three – Zodiac

“Owww,”Cried Shuhai,”He burnt me! He burnt me!”

Grandma and Grandpa Moonface rushed into the kitchen to see what was going on.

“Honey what happened?”inquired Grandma Moonface

“Stove burnt me again, I thought you told him to stop burning people,”Shuhai pleaded.

“I did tell him,” Grandma replied sympathetically,”And later I shall tell him off severely.But first go up stairs and use your herbs to stop that burn from hurting,”She gave the stove an icy stare and a groaning noise came from it and it seemed to try to shrink backwards.

Meanwhile upstairs the girls were preparing a small strong smelling concoction.Hai-Lin
instructed Shuhai to run a small amount of hot water onto the mixture, to activate the healing properties, Shuhai did as she was told silently.Soon the girls where outside riding about on their horses with a full stomach of groggles like nothing happened. Grandma and Grandpa Moonface were inside at the kitchen table with a cup of herbal tea and a plate of groggles in front of them.

“Well Fredrick you know I was about tell you some thing earlier,”Grandma Moonface said in a sort of whisper Grandpa nodded with a worried expression on his face,”Zodiac is going to the war grounds to work there as a nurse,But she’s been stationed in the middle of the battle field and she doesn’t know how long she’ll be gone.So she wants us to look after the girls for her,she also wants us to tell them and take them round to collect all their things.”
