One day, in the middle of the night, I couldn't breath that my chest was closing on me too tight. It seems that I've been stuck as a human for two nights after my Sunday evening. The rabbits found it strange that I was still human that I would turn back into the rabbit on Monday. However, it didn't happened. I was having sore throat problems and eventually this evening I was having difficult of breathing and my body started to grow cold. I than fall out, as I attempt to wake up my mate.

In the morning, I started to cough repetitively that I couldn't stop. I was too tired that I hardly got some sleep. Thethuthinnang attempted to have me up for the morning's day, until she realized what was happening. From my coughs and loss of voice, she could barely hear my voice. She went off to find Hazel and Captain Holly. It was minutes, until I fell asleep again while my chests continue hardening my breathing.

When I woke up, to see Thethuthinnang, Hazel, Captain Holly, Hyzenthlay, and Blackberry entered the burrow. Thethuthinnang became very worried that I had the great sickness.

"He can't be sick, I can't let him be taken by The Black Rabbit!" she feared.

"That won't happen, sister." Hyzenthlay comforts her.

"If only if we know how to help cure a human from illness like this." Blackberry stated. "Unless we could find some herbs to ease the cough."

"Strawberry knows some herbs around. She found some Primroses nearby." Hyzenthlay suggested. "Sister, care to join me?"

Thethuthinnang nodded her head and joined Hyzenthlay to find Strawberry to gather some Primroses and other herbs to ease my coughing. Hazel, Captain Holly and Blackberry approached towards me.

"No!" I coughed. "I don't want you to get sick."

"You won't. We'll have to lift you up and find another burrow temporary. For your mate's sake." Hazel told me.

"Alright." I acknowledged.

"Don't worry, son. It'll be near by The Big Root." my father informed me, as the two got to my side to help me up. I was able to walk, but not too greatly. Hazel and Captain Holly kept me steady, as I was walking.

It was only short distances, until there was a empty burrow. Blackberry helped me with my blanket, as I had my pillow. He than set them all up, before I lie back down. My coughs resumed, as I started to feel cold.

"By Frith, Kevin... you're cold." Captain Holly came close to me in hopes to keep me warm.

"Bigwig, Fiver, find some water from the brook. Quickly." Hazel spoke two rabbits outside of the burrow.

"Blackberry, keep a look out for Hyzenthlay and the others." Captain Holly instructed Blackberry. I became very tired that my vision is fading. "Stay with me son! Kevin stay with me! You'll be fine."


I fainted, as my father tried to have me stay awake. I didn't know what happened until I woke up around nightfall. My coughs were gone, but still have throat problems and still feel a bit cold, but the warmness was battling against the cold. It wasn't just the blanket. I than noticed heavy warmness was coming from... my father. Captain Holly was beside me to keep me warm to battle the pneumonia. I didn't want him to stay with me and risk getting himself sick. I was too tired to wake him up that I fell back asleep.

In the next morning, I was still feeling a bit sick. I than spotted that Dad was nowhere in sight. When I looked by the burrow's entrance, Captain Holly just came by carrying herbs with some flayrah, as he hopped towards me. He than set them next to a bowl of water.

"Good morning, son." he said with relief from me appearing better.

"Good morning." my voice was still hoarsely, but managed to give him a morning greeting.

"Your voice still sounds like a dying gull." he sat next to me.

"I hate of having a flu or virus." I said.

"Don't talk son... rest your voice. You'll be better in due time." he gently hushed me.

"You shouldn't be with me, nor Hazel, Thethuthinnang, Hyzenthlay, Blackberry and the others trying to help me. I don't want you guys getting sick."

"The only thing right now you need to do is get your strength back from The Great Sickness."

"I don't know if you call that great." I doubted.

"Kevin. You were asleep for two days. The warren was worried about you and feared if the sickness would take you." I never knew I was asleep for a long time. "Now..." he gathered the flayrah and the herbs together. "... have some Primroses and Thyme. You'll be better. With some water of course."

I was able to eat the herbs, before drinking a gulp of water. I than rested on my pillow. "I always knew after Efrafa, you'll look after me, like my parents would."

"Have some flayrah... you need to eat something." he told me.

I only had a small amount of flayrah to have something soft go down my throat. "Thank you. All of you..."

"We're very welcome. Probably tomorrow, everyone will be able to see you up and about again." I looked back to see Hazel standing just outside, with a warm smile. "Now get some rest."

"Hazel, wait!" I stopped him before he departed. "Does she know and everyone al-"

"Your mate is alright and knows what is happening, as well as everybody else is. You'll be able to see everyone tomorrow." he informed and left the burrow.

I let out a sigh of relief. Captain Holly nuzzled me. "You see. Frith is watching over everyone in this warren. Now get some rest."

"Thank you Dad... I love you." I lie next to his soft side and started to fall asleep.

"I know you do son... I know you do." he responded back soothingly with a nuzzle. As I was resting, I started to hear someone singing nearby... it wasn't my phone, but it sounded someone that I could recognize around this warren.

In the next day, I was better and I was able to see everyone's faces again, including Thethuthinnang. I than remembered her singing from yesterday. I nuzzled her, as I was than turned back into a rabbit. "Thank you Thethuthinnang... thank you for your beautiful voice of song."

She smiled warmly and nuzzled me. "Your welcome and I'm glad you're better."
