Maria looked up and raised a pale eyebrow. [b]"Do I even wanna know?"[/v] she asked.

Justin looked at Maria and shook his head.

Ad bit her lip. "You can put me down now, Justin" she said, blushing a little.

Justin walked past Maria and laid Ad down.

Ad hissed in pain. "Ow....." she complained.

Dreamer whined and approached his mistress.

Justin crouched in front of Ad. "Sorry"

Ad bit her lip in pain. "Not your fault" she said through gritted teeth as tears welled up in her eyes.

Justin sighed and took out his wand. He looked at Dreamer as he whimpered and cowered down. Then he looked back at Ad and muttered a charm. "That any better?" he asked.

Dreamer whined and his ears flattened as he backed away slowly.

Ad shook her head. "Not really, for some reason" she said.

Justin looked at Dreamer and tapped his leg for him to go to him. Then he looked at Ad. "I dunno then"

Dreamer hesitantly came to Justin.

Ad propped her foot up on the couch cushion. "Go to Mikey. I can handle this" she said.

Justin smiled slightly. "You sure?"

Ad nodded silently. "Yeah. Imma take a nap" she said.

Justin smiled slightly. "Call me if you want me" he replied and walked in the room Mikey was in.

Ad nodded and fell asleep.

Dreamer licked his mistress' face and followed Justin.

Justin sat down beside Mikey.

Dreamer pawed the ground at the doorway, torn on who to stay by.

Justin looked down at Dreamer. "Go sit with Ad" he told him messing his fur up.

Dreamer looked up at the unfamiliar human and approached him cautiously, but turned around when his mistress called for him.

Ad sighed. "Dreamer!" she called. "Leave Justin alone for once!" she added, snapping her fingers. She would ave gotten up and dragged him away, but she couldn't put any weight on her foot at all. She glanced up at the clock and let out a sigh of relief. Anna would be back any time now.

Anna sighed and slammed her car door, which was parked all the way back in the trees to hide it from view. She walked into the cottage and sighed. "Why is it that when I always come to the preserve, you're hurt n some way, shape, or form?" she asked the redhead, whose leg was propped up on a cushion.

Ad sighed. "Because you're a doctor, so I'm finding an excuse to keep you here longer.......?" she said, smiling apologetically at Anna, who sighed and shook her head.

"I know you will take good care of it and you will use it a lot more than I would ever", she told Court with a smile and the hugged her.

Justin watched as Dreamer walked back through to Ad.

Court smiled at Ginny. "Yes I will"

Ad reached out and stroked Dreamer's head. "Hey, Boy" she whispered.

Anna smiled and took out her wand, muttering a strong healing spell and helped Ad stand up. "Better?" she asked.

Ad nodded. "Yeah" she said.

Justin leant against the wall and put his hand on Mikey's shoulder. He was calmer now but still not very happy.

Anna looked up at Justin. "Hey" she said, smilng a little. "You okay?" she asked, noticing his expression.

Justin looked at Anna and nodded. "Yeah, just thinking about some stuff" he replied.
