Bret was upstairs, idly pushing levers on the pinball machine. Most of the other arcade games were out of power. As Trudy came up the stairs, he quickly walked over to her. "I'm here, what's wrong?" he asked, seeing the worried look on her face.

"That's fine," Kira said as she followed Jack, "We have come upon quite a few mob attacks ourselves."

Bella shook her head in agreement to Trudy's answer and waited to see what Bret would say.

Normal is for Muggles!

Bret just nodded, his face unreadable, and started down the stairs. "Is she in her room?" he asked over his shoulder.

Aliana gasped as Bella told her the news. She stared ahead for a brief moment in stunned silence trying to fathom the information just shared, not even noticing as the two girls left the room. It can't be. she thought in disbelief. It is too soon... But her heart told her it was true. Unconsciously she began to clench and unclench her fist in silent frustration and rage. She felt powerless in such a situation. Sighing Aliana left the room, pondering what she would do next.

Shonnalen awoke feeling very refreshed. Her headache was gone and she didn't feel tired anymore. She looked over at her brother who was asleep in her chair, dressed quickly in what she had been wearing earlier, redid her makeup, and pulled her now dry hair into it accustomed ponytail. She left the room, and nearly ran into Bret who seemed to be on a mission. "Oh!" She said suprised to see him, "Hello, if you need something I'm heading for the kitchen. I don't know about you, but I'm hungery." She stepped past him and down the stairs just as Aliana was walking off. "Afternoon Aliana." She called.

Aliana turned sharply as she heard Shonnalen's voice. She studied her for a brief moment, wondering how she was truly doing-she looked well enough, but she knew that their leader was a master of hiding her conditions. "Afternoon, Shonnalen." she said in reply, unable to mask the relief she felt to see her on her feet. "How are you doing?" she asked quietly as she took a step closer to her.

Shonnalen helped herself to what was left of Bret's oatmeal and turned looking amused. "Ok what is wrong with everyone? First my brother and now you?" She retreved a spoon and sat down.

Trudy was almost in shock. she thought shonnalen was on the verge of death or something. she was going to give Brendon a peice of her mind......

Trudy stomped passed everyone in the kitchen and headed twards shonnalen's room. she knew Brendon would be there...she thrust open the door and it slamed on the wall it made a slight hole.
"BRENDON!" she screamed as she walked over to the chair he was in.

Brendon jerked awake and looked around wildly. "What ...What... where's Shonna... Trudy? What's wrong sweetheart?" He went to stand up.

Trudy stood in front of him as angry as a hornet. and pushed him back just enough so that he fell back into the chair lightly. " WHY IN THE WORLD DID YOU MAKE EVERYONE THINK SHONNALEN WAS DYING!!!" she yelled. tears coming to her eyes as she thought about shonnalen dying. she had pretty much half rasied her.

Bret followed Shonnalen into the kitchen and sat down across from her. "What was wrong?" he asked. "When Trudy came to get me, she was nearly in tears."
He winced as she heard a door slam, followed by Trudy's yelling.
