chapter five-Falls,Hospitals and Herbal tea

“Every thing’s going to be O.K , your sister is a very brave soldier, she wont be seriously hurt.” Granny Moonface said this behind a curtain of tears.

Hai-Lin was crying,Granny Moonface had stayed with her comforting her and feeding her hot chocolate whilst Grandpa Moonface rushed Shuihai to the hospital.

On arrival, one of the Ethiopies*, took Shuihai in his tentacles and disappeared into a treatment room, “Don’t worry” he gurgled, “We will take good care of her”.

Grandpa Moonface was waiting while the Ethiopies checked out Shuihai. One of the Ethiopies came out of the ward room he came over to Grandpa Moonface.

“Your granddaughter will be O.K she only has a badly bruised back,”The Ethiopie assured Grandpa Moonface,”all she needs is a bit of rest and a herbal healing tea.”

Grandpa Moon face got back to the house just before midday with a sleeping Shuihai.As he carried Shuihai up the stairs he told Hai-Lin what the Ethiopie told him and Hai-Lin took a deep breath then exhaled very deeply after she started laughing maniacally, whilst she was doing so Grandpa Moonface carried on up the stairs and gently put Shuihai to sleep.

In the morning Hai-Lin crept into Shuihai’s room and sat at the side of her sleeping sister. Shuihai stirred and woke up.

“Hello,”Hai-Lin said to her half awake sister.

“uh…oh hello,”Shuihai tried to sit up s she said this but her back failed on her,”owwww that hurt, what happened?”

“We think you fell down the stairs and you bruised your back really badly,”Hai-Lin said cheerfully.

“Oh.”

After Hai-Lin had gone down stairs got some healing tea and brought it back up with Granny and Grandpa Moonface following her,Shuihai fell back asleep whilst Hai-Lin went outside and rode Rose for a few hours.

The next day was spent by writing letters to Zodiac and putting things into a big parcel for Zodiac,Getting the parcel weighed and sent off.

Ethiopies* are big squid nurse thingies that are verry good at healing things and look like they are sea urchins
