M2:Beaubonic Plauge

     Hello everyone today is a beautiful day in Medieval France. I am the first one up this morning which is unusual for me. Ella soon came out of bed to help me with breakfast. It;s is very weird almost 12:00 pm and Zorah isn't up. Ella and I started getting worried and are heading  up stairs to check on her right now.
 
  Up stairs is cold and drab. We saw Zorah laying in bed looking dead. She was awake but still and covered in black and blue splotches. She told us she was feeling dizzy and she couldn't stop coughing. This must have been the sickness that has been going around, I got a letter from the family we stayed with earlier saying their youngest daughter died from this plague. She was sweating like crazy and I was VERY worried. When Zorah was taking a nap Ella and I went to the apothecary for some tips and meds for Zorah. At home we fond Zorah on the floor dead...looking. I saw Ella starting to cry.

   "Is she gone?" Ella said weakly. I stood there mouth open tears filling my eyes. Zorah was my sister, my best friend she couldn't be dead. Thank the lord Ella is a pre med student and found that Zorah was in a coma. We lifted her onto the couch and put a blanket on her. I sat there for 30 mins looking into her pale skin and closed eyes. I was trying to get her to make some sound. Nothing came tears ran down my cheeks thinking I had lost my twin. She was all I had for about 10 yrs. after Ella was abducted all the attention went to her, then the twins were born and we were swept under the rug. I loved her, she knew that...right?

    Ella and I took many old recipes combining them with the supplies we got from the apothecary to make a stew. It took about an hour to make. Some ingredients including: potatoes, olives, and some mashed up Tylenol I had in my bag. There were others but those were the main ingredients.It smelt firebrand...I can't imagine how it tastes. We went over to where Zorah was sleeping. Luckily her mouth was open and Ella fed her the goop.

  Amazingly about an hour later she woke up. I saw her eyes open and hurtled toward her. She finally beat the indispensable sickness! I was sooo happy my eyes filled with tears of joy! I ran and gave her a hug. "I love you" she said. I started balling. I am now a more emotional person. I wouldn't be the same without this journey. I now know that emotions are okay and love is a powerful thing.
