Tragedy Strikes

Dani glanced at her watch. She'd been gone four a good hour. October would probably need help taking care of the twins anyway. She went back into the school and walked towards the girls dorm section. She took her lightweight sweater off as she opened the door to her and October's dorm room.

"Hey, I'm back!" She yelled. She dropped her sweater on a chair and picked Alyeria up. She had an U.F.T.O[unidentified food object] in her little hands. It rather looked like a roll, but one never knew with cafeteria food. Dani rolled her eyes. Yeah, it was a biscuit, but October shouldn't have let Aly have it. She could have choked on it.

Dani took it away and ate the rest of it. "Hey, October! Where's Alex?" She called, guessing that October was somewhere in the dorm.

Dani set Alyeria down on the ground and started playing with her. "I ate it. Why'd you give it to her in the first place? You know she could choke on it. Especially since you weren't in here watching her." Dani replied. She started building a tower out of blocks.

Dani shrugged. "It doesn't matter, really. I mean, she is okay, after all." She said. She showed Aly how to knock down the block tower and then started building it back up.

"Yeah, no joke." She agreed. Her head started pounding, which was odd, since headaches usually just creep on. Her stomach started hurting, and she got a metallic taste in her mouth, like she had just sucked on a penny. She gently, yet hurriedly, pushed Aly off her lap and ran to the bathroom to throw up.

Once Dani had finished vomiting, she rinsed her mouth at and washed her hands and flushed the toilet. "Yeah. I guess I'm okay." She went shakily back into the dorm room and got into bed. She curled up in a little ball, hoping it would make her stomach stop hurting. It usually did.

But this time it didn't. She closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them, she looked at October. "Probably just a 24 hour virus or something." She said.

"Yeah it did. I guess it happens sometimes or something," Dani said. She looked at the twins. "Yeah, you'd probably better. Like take 'em for a walk or something." She said. She started to roll over, but she heard one of the twins making a gagging noise. She rolled back over just in time to see Alyeria puke.
