Brendon pushed the door open and followed Trudt back into the room. He carefully set what he carried down on a side table, then turned so his back was to what was going on. If he watched he would lose it and start crying like a little girl.

Trudy looked at him and sighed. she felt bad for him.
she looked at Caden. " okay...so were here." she said waiting for instruction.


" Good...take the towel from her leg and get another one and hold it under her leg. " he kept pulling blood out of her leg.

he did this for about an hour. Trudy caught herself tearing up a few times but kept it together.

after he was done he sighed. " now we wait." he said. " whatever i did didnt work....so we dont have a cure yet...and she is worse." he said bluntly.
Ace looked at the ground. " i feel like this is my fault." she said. Trudy put the towel away. " no this is not your fault. it's no body's fault." she said putting a hand on her sholder.

Shonnalen vaguely heard noises and slowly forced her eyes open. "B ... Bret ..." She manged softly. SHt felt horrible and couldn;t have lifted her head from the pillow if she had wanted to.

Brendon heard his sister and looked over, then quidkly looked away willing himself not to cry.

bret walked over and took her hand. " yes?" he asked waiting for her to say something more.

Lanie took Brendon's hand. she looked up at him and gave him a reassuring look.


Caden sighed. " Bret...she needs rest. come on." he tugged his brother away. " i'll stay with her tonight and we'll see how she is in the morning. you need to get the kids outta here." he said looking at Brendon.

"Stay ..." Shonna said her eyes closeing from sheer exaustion.

Brendon gripped Trudy's hand then over his shoulder at his sister.

_________________

Bret looked at his brother and gave him a smirk as shonnalen asked him to stay.
Caden rolled his eyes. " okay fine. i'll take care of the kids." he said walking over to them. before he reached them he told them to go out of the room. he walked back to a closet and got something a stuffed it in his pocket and then ran back to them.
Trudy layed in a bed yawning, she was so tired.

Caden looked at the two and smirked. he walked over to brendon and sat down next to him. " next time, use a condom..." he said slipping him one.
Lanie was brought into a laughing fit. " how did you know?"
Caden laughed and gave her a look. " becuase i can tell those type of things." he smiled and shook his head.

Brendon sat on the end of the bed pulling his shoes off. He blushed bright red and took the offered protection. "Just don't say anything to Bret ... He'll kill me ... and then hang me on the wall for a trophy... and I mean that literally." He looked down at the small package in his hand, the quickly stuffed it in his pocket. "Thanks... I think..." He said quickly before streaching out on his stomach next to Trudy before tucking his hands under his head in the way he normally slept.

_________________

Trudy giggled when he blushed. she burried her face into his stomach once he laid down. " he would." she finally stopped laughing. she looked at caden now seeming serious. " is shonna really going to be okay?" she asked him.
Caden looked at the ground. " i dont know...if we can find a cure...maybe...if not...i dont know..." he said.
Trudy looked at brendon.

Ace looked at Bret and whispered that she would be back. she went passed where Trudy and Brendon were talking with Caden. " hey...i'll be gone for the night...." she said.
Trudy looked at her curiously. " your going alone?" she asked.
Ace nodded.
Trudy shook her head. "i'm coming with you."

Brendon rested a hand on Trudy's head. He stared up at the ceiling his green eyes blank as if the conversation didn't concern him in the least. In his mind he had already prepaired himself for the worst and that ws the end of it.

"Just don't get hurt." Brendon said absently before curling on his side away from her.

Shonnalen cried out as a nightmair plagued her fevered mind. "Bret ...! NO!!!! .... Brendon! ...." A tear slipped down her cheek.

Bret had fallen asleep but jumped up as he heard Shonnalen.
Trudy gasped. " Brendon." she said wondering if he heard.

Bret took her hand. " Shonna..baby i'm here." he waited for her to open her eyes.

Caden ran into the room. " what's wrong?"

Trudy looked at Ace. " one moment." Trudy raced into the room.

Shonnalen gripped Bret's hand, and awakened with a start. She glanced around then relaxed back against the pillows. "Bret ... it was so real..." She tried to stop the tears that welled in her blue eyes.

Brendon heard his sister cry out, but ignored it knowing that Bret was with her. He didn't want to be in there knowing that seeing her would crumble his resolve.

Bret listened intently. " what? what was so real?" he asked.

"The dream ... " She took a deep breath and gripped his hand again. "I'm sorry if I woke you." She said seeing the lines of wearyness on his face.
