Madison could feel her eyelids drape over her eyes like curtains; they were so heavy and felt so weak. She could feel herself surrounded in an environment of darkness that is until a sudden bright light shined upon her, hurting her weak and exhausted eyes. As a reflex, Madison opened her eyes but instantly shut them, raising a slow and steady hand in front of her face, stopping the light from blinding her. But holding her hand up, Madison noticed its ghostly pale color and how hard it was shaking.
Madison could feel a quiet gasp be breathed from her mouth. Where was she? What was going on? Why did she feel so weak and feeble as if she

"Ah! My God!" Madison screamed from the long white hospital bed. "This is torture! Why?! Why would you do this to me, Spencer?!" Tears fell from her eyes in pain, ripping out another scream. Spencer was holding her left hand, letting Madison squeeze Spencer's hand as hard as she could.
"It's okay, Madison. Everything is going to be alright." Spencer said, trying to calm down his wife.
Madison angrily looked up at Spencer. "No, everything is not going to be alright! Do you know how this feels?! Do you?!" Madison snapped, before resting her head back down on the pillow.

No Matter How Small Chapter Epilogue
After that day, everything seemed perfect. Even though the first 2-3 months, probably more, were spent showing Leaf what things were in the human world. I still remember the first day I showed her how the T.V. worked. After pressing a single button on the remote control which turned the T.V. on, Leaf dove behind the couch, screaming, "Zack! The black box is alive!" And then after seeing it was on the cooking channel, she then would scream, "Zack! The black box has taken little humans captive!"
I'll tell you it was hard explaining to Leaf everything she needed to know in order to pass as a human and not as a foreigner from a different p

No Matter How Small Chapter Twelve
My eyes felt wider than the plates I had in my kitchen when I looked down at the big, empty white t-shirt I had given Leaf before she had suddenly disappeared. She was here one moment and then the next; she was glowing bluer than a Smurf and vanished like a magic act. "Leaf?" I asked; my jaw still dropped in wonder.
Where could she have gone? Did she vanish somewhere? And if so, why? But why would she go someplace? It seemed a little random. But then again, what if she didn't disappear? My eyes continued to loom over the shirt in front of me. What if Leaf was still here? What if she had shrunk again? That seemed like the most lik

No Matter How Small Chapter Eleven
Just as Leaf was about to reach Zack's giant index finger, her body suddenly started to glow blue, stopping her from getting to Zack. Animites from Zack's bedroom window all stared in awe, staring down at the lake which had strangely started to shine blue. Grandpa pushed himself to the front of the crowd, as he looked down to the lake as well. He gasped, whispering to himself, "It can't be."
'What's happening? What's going on?' Leaf wondered to herself, as she took a chance to look at her glowing arms and legs, before turning to the sinking body of Zack Shepard. Ignoring the fact that she was glowing, Leaf quickly swam as fast as she c

My eyes widened, as I felt my heart pump so loudly that it rang louder than a bell in my ears. I quickly stood up, startling a few Animites at the sudden moment. I opened the window all the way, before leaning the entire top half of my body out, my eyes gazing out. Down below, was a part of the roof, covered in gray rectangular shingles that overlapped one another as they sloped downward. Far below, was the swimming pool, as it sparkled with the sun's rays hitting the water as the sun just started coming up from its long nap in darkness.
"Leaf!" I yelled, my eyes on the shingles of the house, looking at every aspect. Leaf could be well

"Uh aw man my head " I groaned, my head spinning in circles as if it were in a relay race. My mind felt dead while everything in my body felt sore as they ached with pain and discomfort. I didn't dare open my eyes, knowing that if I did, I'd instantly feel dizzy and sick; at least, more sick than I already felt at that moment.
Where was I? What was I doing? Why do I feel this way? Try to remember. What happened? I tried to remember, but it left my mind a blank. Wait a minute. I do remember a few things. Something with Leaf being Kayla, her relatives coming and then Leaf's grandpa making me swallow a tiny bullet? Ye

Grandpa stood there, shocked in place as Leaf's shoulders heaved with anger and betrayal. "Leaf, now pleas-." Grandpa tried to say, but was soon disconnected by Leaf.
"Don't you dare call me that! My name's not 'Leaf'! It's 'Kayla'!" Leaf said. "Say that name again and you will be pulverized with your own staff."
Grandpa gulped, as he looked nervously down at the staff made of stick being pointed directly at his chest. One wrong move and Leaf could easily stick it through his heart. "Look, don't you think you're going too far on this. After all, why in the world would you want to quit being an Animite?"
"So, I can be human!" Leaf

I stared, dumbfounded at the tiny girl below me. Leaf looked up at me with curiosity, wondering why I had stopped drying her off with the washcloth that I had now dropped on the table, so it was now lying in a clumped ball beside her. "Zack?" Leaf asked, raising an eyebrow.
I tilted my head up so I was staring up at the ceiling. Was this really happening? Did I really find Kayla after so many years? But why was she so small? This couldn't be Kayla, could it? But she had to be; she had the exact same mark in the exact same place that Kayla did when she was taken away. But how did it happen?
All the questions made my head spin and my
