It was good to be back in his actual body, in his actual mind. He smiled as he woke up from a good, long nap. He looked at his friends, Max, Zack and Shadow, who all were still asleep. He then glanced up at Rose, who had just returned from collecting blackberries from a nearby bush.

"Rose, you know the boys can get their own food?" Valerian sighed.

Rose shot a glare at her. "They're no longer CURSED. They're allowed to have REAL food, instead of animal flesh!"

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

Matthew then replied. "We didn't mind the animal flesh..."

Shadow then awoken. "Sister, we're fine to have meat in our diets too! Besides, it seems like THOSE boys-" He pointed his finger at Matthew, Zack and Max. "- were already hunters before they became cursed." He yawned.

Rose looked down at her brother very sternly. "I AM NOT going to let you guys hunt!" She retorted.

"Us or ME?" Shadow teased.

Rose sighed. "Witch boys aren't meant to hunt..." Shadow stood up and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Things are different now." He grinned.

Matthew could tell from the look on Rose's face, that she doesn't want him to wander off if it means losing him again. Her face said a lot more than her words ever could.
