Justin remembered their secret handshake, now it was tireme to test Bradin's memory. Jusin held his hand out waiting for Bradin to do the secret handshake with him. "Do you remember it?" he asked.

"We'll be fine. So long as my dad's with us we'll get through it. Besides, he can't touch us. My dad does martial arts" replied Bradin to Ginny. Then he looked at Justin. "Of course I remember" he said as he and Justin did their secret handshake.

Rex walked around and checked things out at the Estate. "What type of activity?" Rex asked Tori. " You seem to be someone who enjoys having fun" Rex said to Tori.

" I kknew you believed that Kay would be here" Rex told Ginny. " I would have not known what do if Kay did not make it here" Rex said to Ginny. " Of course, she is missing again and trying to drive me craazy' Rex laughed.

"Yes, I'm Rebecca. And you must be Bradin," Rebecca said. This place was amazing! She was so glad she was here.

"Oh my God, Bradin, you sound worried. What the heck is wrong with Justin," Tori said. Justin was one of her best friends. She should be really worried. Which she was. If Justin was in trouble, Tori would help. "I'm not taking 'I won't tell you' for an answer!"

Savannah walked in the manor. She turned over to Bradin and said. "Am I late?" She probably is, everyone has arrived except for her.

"I got lost. I stopped at the castle to tell Jason where I was going. I forgot to send an owl." Kay said kissing Rex back. She was glad that they were finely going to have some time alone. Well with there friends. "So, what's going on here?" She asked. She started to walk with Bradin to find her room. Kay grabbed Rex's hand and pulled him with her. She had missed him.

"Hi, Ginny. How is everything?" Kay said as she put her bag down and put her fireblot next to it. "I am glad to be here."

Kay smiled when Bradin walked up to them. "Hi, Bradin. Thanks for letting me come." She said looking around the house. "This is really nice Bradin." Kay said following him so she would know where her room was. She reached out and pulled Rex with her.

Teegan knew that she was late. Very late. But that was okay. She could just slip in and life would go on. It's not like she knew who was going to be there. Well, she barely knew Bradin. But then again, this would be a great opportunity to meet more people from Hogwarts before she moved to India...or back to Greece.

Teegan let out a deep breath as she knocked on the door lightly seven times and stood back looking at the door with little emotion waiting for someone to answer it. She wasn't quite sure why she was there, or if she was going to stay the entire time, but then again, she was seventeen, it wasn't like her parents, Kat or Chloe and Asher were in charge of her anymore...not like they really were to begin with.

Savannah heard knocks on the door. She let out a sigh. Thank god, she's not the last one. Even though she's not the host of this she opened the door anyways. She really wants to know who arrived later than herself.

Teegan looked up to find a face of a girl she hadn't met yet. She gave a small smile, not sure if she should be the one to talk first or not. She was very tempted to just turn and leave and figure out what she wanted to do...she could just go straight to India right now...but she had told Bradin she would come.

Her stomach gave a very loud grumble as Crash! meowed at her feet, she had momentarily forgotten about the three year old cat that was still tiny as a two month kitten. "I hope there's food in there." Teegan told the girl looking over her shoulder down the hallway.

Savannah smilied back even though she have no idea who she is. Then, she noticeda kitty, well, that's what she thought it was. "Is that your kitty?" Savannah asked curiously. She wish that she had brought Stallion with her.

Teegan nodded her head as she referred to Crash!, she didn't feel like correcting her; Crash! wasn't a kitty, but a cat...but his appearance didn't help any. She let out an odd sigh as she grabbed ahold of her trunk and wondered if this girl was going to move and let her in or if she'd have to go around back...she had thought faintly of going in the back way and surprising everyone...but then again, the only person she knew for a fact that she knew there was Bradin. And, standing there in the front of the house, she hadn't seen hide nor hare of him.

"Is this a handshake?", Ginny asked Justin looking from him to Bradin.

"It's lucky your dad does martial arts. Does he do a combination of martial arts?", said Ginny. Ginny looked at Bradin and Justin while they did the handshake. It was very cool.

"I wonder what would of happened if she took another half an hour", repiled Ginny to Rex.

"Hey Kay. Things are going alright for me. You?", repiled Ginny. "It does bring back memories from last time", Ginny told Kay with a smile.

"Well, I see you missed me" Rex told Kay. " My arm is not that flexible" Rex laughed. "Well, Bradin probably has a lot of things for us to do here" Rex said to Kay. " I will help you seetle in honey" Rex explained to Kau.

"You not going to give me a break about me missing Kay, are you?" Rex asked Ginny laughing. " Ok, I give up" Rex told Ginny. " I probably would have left and look for Kay" Rex explained to Ginny.

"No I'm not", said Ginny to Rex. "No you don't. You can't", repiled Ginny. "I know you would have. You love her so much", said Ginny sweetly.

Watching Ginny, Kay wonder what was wrong. "Rex was worried? Why?" She asked looking back to Rex. "Is everything for YOU ok? I mean you look a little upset." She said hoping she was wrong.

Smiling Kay hugged Rex again. "Yes, I missed you. I didn't think I would ever find this place. Next wait for me." She said feeling bad that Rex had worried. "I didn't mean for you to worry about me." She said picking up her bag and broom. Where was this room of hers? "So your going to help me get settle? Thanks." Kay said kissing Rex.

" You are such a good friend" Rex told Ginny. " I finally give in to the master who made me feel good" Rex said to Ginny. " I really love Kay a whole lot" Rex agreed with Ginny.

" " You better believe I will wait for you" Rex told Kay. " Well, if I did not worry, you would not believe I loved you" Rex said to Kay. " I am not upset, I am relieved" Rex explained to Kay. " I love helping you get settled" Rex smiled at Kay.

"Correct you are. Glad you could come" replied Bradin to Rebecca. He didn't know her but she seemed cool anyway.

Bradin then looked at Tori. "He's fine now. Until the six weeks is up. We'll sort it though" he said.

"My dad did something he shouldn't have done and never stoppd" Justin said noticing that Bradin wasn't mentioning it.

"No you're not" replied Bradin to Savannah.

"Glad you could come" Bradin said to Kay with a smile.

"Correct you are Miss Weasley. I'm shocked we both remember it" replied Justin to Ginny.

"He does karate mostly but he did do judo at one point" explaned Bradin remembering the martial arts his dad had done.

"Then he's not fine, Bradin," Tori said, then directed her attention to Justin. "What exactly did your dad do to you?"

Bradin narrowed his eyes. "He will be becuase we're a team and best friends. We've never given up on anything and have always stuck together as one" he said kind of angrily to Tori.

"Leave it Bradin. Apparantly she doesn't realise you're a victim in this too" said Justin to Bradin. Then he looked at Tori. "My dad beat the hell out of me and cursed Bradin. Now we're both left with a heck of a lot of scars and the ability to know when he's around. He transferred that pwoer on to Bradin when he cursed him" he explained not failing to mention Bradin was just as hurt by it. Worse than hurt.

Violet sat in her guest room getting bored by the second. She told Brianna to keep watch in the room in case one of her fellow non-trustable peers came in. Violet walked out of the room and heard talking from Justin's room, greaaaaat. She gave a slight knock then just opened the door, and strutted in and looked at Bradin. "There's nothing to do." Well there was stuff to do but hardly any mirrors which Violet would love to look at her reflection in.

"Well of course he'll be fine with all these people here to help!" Tori yelled at Bradin, then looked at Justin. "Oh my God, I don't know any healing spells and I can't take a curse away. But you know when he's around, so if you, Justin, stick with Bradin, you could always run," she said and paused for a long time.
"I'm not good at this, but Bradin, I'm sorry for yelling at you when you have scars to. I have no clue what it feels like to have your best friend's dad beat you. My dad is always working in his office at home, and whenever I try to introduce him to my friends, he says 'leave me alone, sweetie, I'm working.' I hate being called 'sweetie.' I've never been to a friends house besides this one, and I'm sorry for yelling and just being a bad girl when my parents aren't around and not liking Maddie right off the bat and calling Jake 'studder box' and setting off fireworks, stink pellets, and dung bombs in the third floor corridor and... I just don't know what to do," she said and fell to her knees. She felt like crying right now, for going back in time and changing her mistakes. That was just what she had done this year. There was a lot more in the past.

Bradin rolled his eyes at Violet. He looked at the mirror in Justin's room. "Take the mirror and stare and admire yourself" he said pointing at the slive framed mirror.

Then he looked at Tori anger riding high in his hazel eyes. He just felt like slamming the door in her face. Then she apologised. "Its ok. We have each other so hopefully we can avoid it all from happeneing again" he said calmly. There was still fury in his eyes but not as much as before. Then his stomach started to hurt a lot. That only meant one thing. "He's somewhere near the estate" he whispered to Justin.

"Like Bradin said, we have each other" he said. Then he felt what Bradin was feeling. He looked at Bradin. "This is soooo not good. We're done for" he said. He wasn't whispering at all. He knew his dad was going to get them. Then the pain went away. "I think he's gone" he whispered in a hopeful voice.

"Bradin, were is your dad supposed to be right now?" Tori asked.

Violet was seriously considering that offer. "NO." she replied, wondering if anyone would realise her turning down to look in the mirror. "I want to go home."

"In the city" replied Bradin thinking about it clearly. He thought he was anyway.

Marcus walked in the house seeing a lot of people there. "Guys I'm home and whoa Bradin, you have a lot of friends" he shouted. Hmmmm. Dinner time. "Nikki, go get your brother" he said to Nikki.

Nikki smiled and ran upstairs to get everyone who was up there. "Bradin, dadwants you and I suggest you bring everyone with you" she said.

"Lets go. Warning, my dad has some pretty lame jokes and will pass them off as hilarious when in actual fact, they're not" Bradin said as he got up and ran downstairs.

"Hey Mr Westerly" he said as he approached Marcus. He smiled weakly at Marcus before hoping he would have something to say about his injuries.
