*Mel had to take Alex and Ian to St. Mungos after Kiley-the-werewolf attacked them. Alex wasn't really that hurt, but Ian was pretty much half dead. Mel had made a fuss about it whenever she came back and by now she was just sitting in a chair being angry at Kiley for being so irresponsible. Mark was in his baby carrier playing with a toy. Mel was waiting for Kiley to come to the hospital so she could yell at her.*



~Mel

*Kiley was brought up to a bed by a healer because Jake was downstairs filling stuff out and stuff when in re3ality he isn't on the computer and I'm inpatient. ((:))) Kiley had burns on her arms, a gash on the side of her head which was surrounded by dried blood and nasty looking bruises. She had gashes on her sides and legs along with a lot of bruises. She was taken over to a bed and covered up with a promise that another healer would be in later to clean her up after she'd slept for a while*

Melanie:"Kiley, what the hell were you thinking?" *she shouted, obviously starting to become very distraught again*"What the HELL were you thinking?!"



~Mel

*Kiley closed her eyes, her head throbbing beyond beleif* "I'm sorry Mel......is everyone okay?"

Melanie:"Oh yeah, they're fine. Aside from the fact that they still haven't been able to fully heal any of Ian's major wounds and he's still bleeding out, yeah, they're fine. Perfectly fine, especially since you were the most responsible person on the planet and you didn't take your wolfsbane potion."



~Mel

*Kiley sighed, still not opening her eyes* "I'm really sorry Mel......you know I wouldn't ever purposly hurt Ian...."

Melanie:"Well you did. You could have killed them, Kiley. You could have killed them like you killed Becky."*She started to cry now because she was faced with the thought that she had almost lost Alex and Ian now, too.*



~Mel

*Kiley felt the tears come to her eyes immediatly. This was the first time that mel had actually admitted that kiley had killed becky. She didn't know what to say to that. She just let the tears leak slowly from her closed eyes*

*Melanie became hysterical and started to cry even more.*
Melanie:"Well SAY SOMETHING don't just SIT THERE and act like you're completely innocent and that it isn't your fault at all."

*Alex was awake, Ian wasn't since he was really hurt and tired and stuff.*

Alex:"Mel, stop it."


Melanie:"Stop it? Alex you could be dead right now. She attacked you. Do you really expect me to just stop it?"



~Mel

"I wish I could change it mel......." *She said, opening her eyes and looking at her, still crying softly* "I wish I could change a lot of things......" *She added quietly* "I'll ask for them to get me into a different ward away from you and alex and ian....I understand that you don't want me around."

Melanie:"Good." *Melanie started to pace*"God, I need to get out of here!" *she half shouted. She didn't know what else to do, all of this was just getting to her...it was too much. She needed to walk....She would walk around the hospital, that's what she would do. She didn't feel like she should go, though, not when Ian was in the state that he was.*




~Mel

*A healer came in and looked at the slight chaos* "Is everything alright in here?"

Kiley: "Can I be moved into a different ward? I shouldn't be around them."

healer: "Why, you're not dangerous untill the next full moon." *He said, trying to funny. He wasn't*

Kiley: "Can you just move me please?" *She said, trying o wipe away her years, which hurt*

healer: "No.....I can't...I'm sorry, all the wards are full...."

Melanie:"I don't care! Move someone from one of the other wards into here, I don't care. She's the one that almost killed them!" *she exclaimed.*

Alex:"Mel, maybe you should leave."

Melanie:"I can't! Ian-"

Alex:"Ian doesn't need you here. He's not a baby, Mel."

*Melanie stood there for a moment thinking about everything before deciding that she should go.*

Melanie:"I'll leave. I need to tell Liam where we are anyway."


*She left before anyone could stop her and walked out into the corridor. She went to the front desk and asked if they could send a letter to Liam for her telling them where Alex and Ian were and they agreed. Since Mel didn't want to go back into the room until he got there. She sat in the lobby so she'd be able to see him when he came.*



~Mel

*Liam came in, looking like he'd just fallen out of bed, which he had. But not out of his own. He was wearing yesterday's clothing and he wasn't cleanly shaven. Luckly he had been able, with thew help of magic, to get rid of the mark on his neck. He walked in and saw Mel immediatly, going to her. He still held his motorcycle helmet under his arm* "Melanie? Are you okay?" *He said, crouching down in frount of her*


-----------


*As mel left, Kiley wiped the tears from her eyes again before speaking* "Alex?" *She said quietly, almost timidly*

*Alex turned to look at Kiley. He wasn't really mad at her at all. He just wished that she would have taken her wolfsbane potion because it would've made everything easier for HER.*
Alex:"Yeah?" *he asked*


________________________


*Melanie somehow managed to give him a hug despite how they were sitting and stuff. She's Mel, she'll find a way to do anything.*
Melanie:"Kiley almost killed my brothers, Liam."




~Mel

"I know baby...." *He said, holding her close to him* "It'll all be okay though."

-----------

*Kiley paused a moment before speaking* "Are you....okay?" *She asked, looking over at him, feeling terrible and showing it.*

Alex:"Yeah. You just scratched me, and not a lot." *he paused awkwardly*"I'm not mad."

_____________________


Melanie:"It's going to be okay? How do I know it won't happen again? How do I know that one of them isn't going to die this time...like the last time she got to my family?"



~Mel

"I'm so sorry alex......" *She said, her voice breaking a little* "You shouldn't be around me anymore. You or Ian, or Liam, or Mel.......I've done enough harm to your family..."


--------------


"I know it's hard......it's won't happen again. I promise Mel. I'm not going to0 let her hurt them..."

Melanie:"How can you stop her? You can't control her and once she's a werewolf there's really nothing you can do!"



____________

Alex:"Kiley, stop, that's not true. You've hurt us but we don't care because you're family to us and....stuff...." *Alex was never one to be very touchey-feely or anything so he wasn't exactly great at consoling people.*"You need to be responsible, that's it."



~Mel

"Silver bullets stop werewolves, Mel. If it gets to that, I'm not afraid to take that step to ensure your saftey, along with ian or alex." *He said, looking dead into mel's eyes*


-----------



"I haven't been taking my potion because I was trying to take it all out on myself. I didn't think anyone else would be involved. It was my way of dealing with everything..."

*Melanie pulled away from Liam, absolutely shocked and actually very offended.*
Melanie:"Liam, you can't kill Kiley. She might have hurt my family but she is still my best friend. She just needs to be more responsible, just like someone else I know." *The 'someone else' was obviously Liam by how she had said it. Of course this would hit him harder than Mel had thought since she didn't know about Delilah yet.*



______________________


Alex:"Kiley, that is the dumbest thing I have seen anyone do in a long time, and I see Liam when he's drunk. Remember what happened when I was beating you up? Do you want that again?"



~Mel

*Kiley half smiled* "No, Alex, I don't think that'd be very fair considering the condition I'm in right now."


--------------


"Well, if it comes down to it, I'd rather have you than her. And it probably sounds harsh, but it's the facts of life mel. If she doesn't smarten up, she could become really dangerous."

Alex:"No, you don't get it. I mean do you want to be where you were when that happened? Dying? You really want that?"


___________________



Melanie:"Liam, you can't kill her, nor can you talk about become dangerous if she doesn't smarten up since the same exact thing is going to happen to you." *she pretty much repeated exactly what she had just said, but reworded it.*"She just needs to stay the hell away from anyone when she transforms, and you need to stay the hell away from bars."



~Mel

"Oh come on Mel.....I'm not dangerous. I'm no where near as bad as she is." *He said, furrowing his eye brows slightly*


-------------


"It'd be a lot easier than this." *She mumbled, looking up to the ceiling*

Melanie:"But you could be." *On the word 'could' Melanie poked his nose, for no real reason, just because she wanted to. Then she noticed that he hadn't shaved and was wearing the same clothes as the day before*"Liam did you stay at the bar all night?"


____________________

*Alex jumped out of his bed, which would've been a good move for someone who was at least 5 feet tall or more.*

Alex:"Don't ever say that again. THAT is now the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone say."


~Mel

"Yeah. Of course it is." *She said, still not looking at him*

--------


*Liam reached up and felt his face* "I don't think I did...." *He mumbled*

Alex:"Kiley, killing yourself would be the most selfish thing you could ever do. Not even I would sink that low. There's people who need you..and stuff...you're important."


________________________


Melanie:"What do you mean 'you don't think you did'? Either you did or you didn't."



~Mel

"I never said I was going to kill myself. I'm just letting fate do what it wants." *She said, then closed her eyes for a moment, exausted, then forced them open again* "So many people need me. You have mel, who isn't talking to me. Ianhas her too, and he'll probably be mad or terrified of me. Mel has Liam. Weson's dead. That just leaves James......well, if I died, I'd imagine he'd take that pretty hard......but he's not the type of person to do anything rash, so he'd be alright after some time." *She said, letting her eyes close again just out of exaustion* "I'm not really that needed, Alex."


-------------------


"Yeah, I did." *He said after a long pause, looking away from her* "It's all a bit hazy really. I don't even remember drinking more than two glasses.....maybe one of my drinks was spiked." *He said, thinking out loud but reall knowing what had happened*

*Alex was going to say something but his xy chromosomes kicked in and gave him the very male like inability to deal with situations like this. So, he turned around and sat back down in his bed*
Alex:"Whatever. I don't want to deal with stupid teenage girl stuff now."


_________________


*Melanie sighed and looked away from him*
Melanie:"Why do I try? You never listen to anything I say. It's like you don't care about me. I'm close to sending you back here because I don't want Mark growing up around this sort of thing forever."



~Mel

"What do you mean, back here?I haven't touched that junk for months mel. Don't even joke about that." *He said, standing back up*



------------------------



*Kiley sighed* "look, I'm sorry. I'm just tired. I rambel when I'm tired." *She looked over at him before closing her eyes again* "I thought you wern't hurt....how come you're in here?"

Alex:"Because....I don't know. Can I just sleep?"


_____________



Melanie:"They help alcoholics, too, Liam and since it's obvious that what I do to help you isn't doing anything so you need professional help. I really thought that you knowing that children who grow up around alcoholics are more likely to become alcoholics when they're older would make you try harder but it didn't. Apparently you don't care if Mark, Alex, or Ian start drinking too much too young. "



~Mel

"Okay, one, I'm not an alcholic. Two, Ian and Alex are smart. And mark's pretty yound to pick up on that. And third, I'm mark's dad, and I love him, and I espically love you, and I don't want to leave. So don't make me leave, ok mel? Please?"


------------



"Yeah. Sorry. I didn't know you were tired." *She said quietly, wishing she could sleep herself, but knowing she couldn't despite how tired she was*

Melanie:"1) Yes you are. 2)If you keep it up he'll get old enough to be able to pick it up. 3)You won't really be leaving anyway. It's not like we won't visit you every day for as long as we can."



~Mel

*Liam sighed* "Sure you would." *He mumbled, sitting in a chair across from her, stretching out his legs.* "Come and see your daddy mark. He's in a hospital because I didn't like him when he was free. I like him better in a little cage where we can go look at him like a monkey in a zoo. See? I've tamed him. He's better tame than wild. I had to break his spirit to get him into here, but now that all the dirty work's out of the way, we're home clear." *He said bitterly*

Melanie:"That's not what I'm trying to do and you know that." *she stood up*"I'm not trying to break your spirit, I'm not trying to put you in a cage. I just-" *she sighed and started to walk away*"Nevermind. It's useless. I don't need this right now, I really don't need it." *she turned around when she thought of something to say*"If me wanting you to be healthy and live longer offends you so much, why don't you just leave me and go after some other girl?"



~Mel

"Because I don't want some other girl...I want you, and you know it." *He said as he stood and walked towards her, trying to ignore the sickening twist in his stomach* "Please don't push me away right now mel. I know you don't like to hear it but you need someone for some support sometimes, espically now."

*Melanie started to cry again. Before talking she sighed((the kind when you cry not a normal sigh))*
Melanie:"No, right now I just want to be alone and think. I'm going to walk around. If you want to go see Alex and Ian...they're on the 2nd floor and...just ask where they are once you get there." *she started to walk away, not really knowing where she was going, just walking.*



~Mel

*Liam sighed and let her walk away* "Fine." *He said under his breath, going up to the second floor. He looked around and saw Ian, Alex, and Kiley all in bed and aparently sleeping. He sat in a chair by the door, leaning his head against the wall, trying not to make any noise incase they were asleep*

*Melanie came back a few minutes later than him because she wanted to see Mark. He was the one person she felt like she wasn't going to scream at at the moment so she went back to the room...and Mark wasn't there. She started freaking out*
Melanie:"Oh my god, where the hell is Mark?!" *She exclaimed before starting to hyperventilate.*"Oh my God I lost him, I lost him- ALEX HOW COULD YOU LOSE HIM?!"





~Mel

*Kiley opened her eyes and looked around, noticing for the first time that mark wasn't in here*


*Liam hadn't noticed, untill now, that mark was gone either.* "Mel, calm down. Alex, where's mark." *He said, his face pale*
