it was just a dream, just a dream. then why am I so freaked out?

he nodded"terrible poison,she got a much more mild dose,seems about 5 hrs ago,these girls was more recent

"more recent eh?" said max and he nodded to his siblings who took off out the door "the culpret could'nt have gotten far" he said then mumbled "great now i sound like shurlock homes"

he smiled"im not sure this was a demi-gods work though,normally that would leave punctures,this was more like someone poked them constantly with needles so the venom kinda added up rather than getting stabbed with a syringe"he explained,handed a small vile"here,it should counter the effects of it,give her a douse and then help me get her to the office"he said

Max nodded and poured the vile's liquid into lucy's mouth and got up "still it could be a monster" said max picking up lucy's feet

he got her arms,taking her to a empty bed and laying her down"could be"he said

"the question is what kind of monster r what kind of plant could have done this" said max

he shrugged"all i can tell is a powerful vegetable alkaloid"he said,washing his hands

"well if its a monster or a plant my cabin mates will find it" said max looking at lucy with concern

slowly she gained consciousness,but her sight and hearing was slow and blurry

Max walked over to lucy "luce can yu here me?" he said loking dwn at her

she swayed slightly,and a few moments later,nodded real slow

"do you remember seeing anything odd before you went into shock? or have you seen any weird plants recently?" said max

she shook her head slowly,taking a moment to process it

the Medic sighed"Alkaloids,which occur naturally in plants,are known for their physiological effects on humans and animals.Strychnine,now that i think about it,would be the most logical choice.it would be rapidly absorbed by the wound.Following a series of violent convulsions,it produces death by respiratory paralysis.One of its most striking features is the risus sardonicus,or sardonic grin,which in many cases,remains on the face of the victim"he explained

Max shivered remembering the girl

as he spoke,he was snipping out meds

Lucy got only a few words of that

"but someone would have to rub against the plant quite a bit of times if i remember right it ussially only happens if someone sat in it but that can't be right if the entire apollo cabin was hit by it unless they all took turns sitting on a weird looking plant

the Medic rolled his eyes"no,it can be easily injected,you are getting poison ivy and Strychnine mixed up,they might have been introduced by it in the air,but then all of them would be dead,not 2 out of 5 girls dead"he said

Max lked at the medic then tilted his head "but these cabins have solid concrete floors its unlikely that a plant sproated in there plus they were jabbed" max remembered

he shrugged"maybe someones out for them...aint this the mean one?maybe they were jealous they were so perfect and killed them"he guessed wildly

Max looked at the medic and shook his head "dude don't try to pyhyc me out" said max and looked down at lucy again
