I groaned as I felt something cold on my forehead and weight on my chest. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a black kitty on my chest. My hand went up to my forehead to feel a damp cloth on it. I looked around the room and saw Rapunzel with her telescope in hand. She stared down on it sadly and let out a soft sigh.

"Rapunzel?" I asked and she jumped almost dropping the telescope. "O-oh! (Y/n)! You're awake!" She said and I nodded. I moved Sunny off my chest and sat up facing her, placing the cloth on the nightstand. "What happened last night?" I asked as o touched my forest to remove the water only to wince when I felt pain in it. "The anti-curse sort of took off into the sky last night. Varian tried to get you before you got hurt and the cauldron sort of hit you on the head while it was flying around." She said and I nodded.

"I don't think Hookfoot did it right. I mean it's not supposed to take off into the sky like that. He probably took all of the ingredients literally and not metaphorically. I think he also grabbed a couple of Varian's chemicals without thinking." I said stretching and getting out of bed. "The ingredients aren't written literally?" Rapunzel asked and I shook my head. "Nope. Just about every spell book has their ingredients in rhymes and riddles. It's to protect the ones who actually perform these kinds of rituals. Like the tuft of bat fur isn't from a bat. They actually mean eyelashes from the one who is cursed. If you want we can try again with the right ingredients, but it's up to you." I said giving her a soft smile and she sighed staring down at the telescope. "I think I'm just going to return it to Madame Canardist." She said and I nodded. I watched as she left the caravan and I stretched once more. I put on a white off the shoulder dress and headed outside the caravan.

I looked around and saw Varian sitting next to Eugene on the ground

I looked around and saw Varian sitting next to Eugene on the ground. "Hey Sapphs. Hey Eugene." I said smiling and they looked up at me. Varian instantly got up off the ground and handed Eugene the book he was holding. "Are you feeling okay?" He asked me while he looked all around me before staring at my forehead. "I'm fine, Sapphires! Calm down. What are you both doing? Reading Flynnigan Rider?" I asked picking up the book and seeing it was the same book Hookfoot has been carrying around.

"We're trying to find a way to get Blondie out of her own head. Do you have anything that could be used to convince her she's not cursed?" Eugene asked and I nodded. "I do have charms galore, but we really need something to use as a placebo effect." I said skimming through the pages.

"You don't think she's cursed?" Varian asked looking over my shoulder and I shook my head no. "While she is surrounded by negative energy, it's not a curse. She keeps worrying about there being a curse on her that her negative emotions become manifestations into what could be seen as a real curse. Normally curses work little by little getting worse and worse each time something happens. This one is all over the place, and things are happening to other people, not just her." I said and turned a few more pages.

"What about a moose tooth?" Varian asked pointing to the couple of paragraphs on it. "I think that could work! We just have to find something that resembles a moose tooth." I said handing the book to Eugene and he nodded. "I'll take care of the tooth, you both make sure she doesn't get rid of that telescope yet." Eugene said and we nodded.
