Chapter 1: Rook's Injury.
Rook looked at Ben and rubbed his head. "What happened, and why am I so tired all of a sudden?" Rook asked Ben. He yawned.
Ben replied, " you got hit on the head with a cudgel, and as a result you have a concussion. Don't fall asleep whatever you do. the Cullens will be here soon, to treat you, but if it is more serious than human medical science can take care of, Dr. Cullen will take you out of your job for a few days to change you into one of them. I will have to work with my cousin Gwen and her boyfriend Kevin while you are gone, so hang in there Rook." Then the door of the elevators opened and in walked Dr. Carlisle Cullen, as well as the rest of his family to assess Rook's condition. He took one look at Rook and whispered something to Jasper, who nodded and left the room. He walked over to Rook's bed and began to examine him. He said to Alice, "one of Shines-Like-The-Morning-Star's phoenix tear water balls should take care of the head wound. She nodded and whispered to Rosalie, who whispered to Emmett, who whispered to Edward, who whispered to his twin and she walked up to stand beside her father, the whole time moving her hands in a pattern that neither Ben nor Rook could understand, but as they watched a ball of water formed in her hands. She leaned over Rook with the water ball and dropped it on his head wound, which started to smoke and then it was not smoking anymore and the wound was gone. Dr. Cullen nodded to her and she took her place in the lineup of family members. A spaceship landed in the docking bay, and in walked Rook's girlfriend Rayona. She saw a man bending over Rook and jumped into action. Emmett caught her and told her it was okay, Rook had been injured and the man bent over Rook was a doctor. She nodded to show she understood, and spoke to Ben. "What happened to Rook?" she asked.
Ben looked Rayona straight in the eyes and replied, "He got hit on the head with a cudgel." Carlisle looked at Ben and asked, "How did you say he got hurt?"
Ben repeated, "He was hit on the head with a cudgel." Carlisle sighed.
"Okay Ben," he said, "I'm sorry I have to say this, but Rook is coming to stay with us for a few days. You might want to call your cousin and her boyfriend's school and ask for them to be given leave from school for a while."
Ben nodded, "okay", he said. Carlisle called Emmett over and he scooped Rook up in his arms, where Rook lay limply, dangling like a wet noodle. The family walked to the elevator and left. When they left Ben pulled out his cellphone and dialed Friedkin University's dean and told her he needed Gwen and Kevin to be given leave from school for a while. The dean replied, "why is it that you need that done?" Ben said, "it's a family emergency, and I thought she'd like some company along with her." The dean nodded, "okay, I will call Ms. Tennyson, and Kevin to the office and let them know that they are given temporary leave from school due to a family emergency." Ben thanked her and said goodbye.
