"We need to change your bandages" Deans says as he looks down at Alex's wrist. The bindings were soaked through with blood.

"We tried to stop the bleeding but the cuts are deep," says Harper as she hands Dean clean wraps. Dean sets Alex back on the bed. The bandages come off and Alex sees the extent of the damage. Deep gashes extend all around her wrist. As if by instinct Alex pulls up her pants to check her ankles. The bandages there are also soaked through.

"What happened?" asks Dean.

"I…" Alex stops. Tears well up in here eyes as she tries to steady her breath.

"Dean! If she wants to take about it she'll tell us," scolds Harper. "He doesn't talk to many people."

Dean and Harper clean Alex's injuries and wrap them in clean bandages.

"Here" says Harper suddenly. Alex turns and sees her broken wand. "When we picked you up you wouldn't let go of it." Alex stares at her broken wand and she suddenly realizes her situation. She gets up so suddenly that Dean and Harper jump back a bit.

"I'm sorry I just intruded into your lives. I'll leave. Thank you for everything." Alex takes a step and dizziness washes over her. She grits her teeth and forces herself to take another. Suddenly a hand closes around her arm.

"You can't go," says Dean.

"I can't stay here."

"You're not well enough yet."

"Please stay. It's been a while since we had anybody with us" says Harper stepping in between Alex and the door. "You can't leave right now you would last."

"I'll do fine," says Alex as she tries to evade Harper. The arm around her arm tightens.

"Just stay until your injuries heal," says Dean.

"Please," adds Harper.

"Okay," says Alex as she sinks to the ground.

"Yes!" exclaims Harper as she bends down to hug Alex. There is a second before Alex returns the hug but as she does she stares down at her hands each holding a piece of her wand.

Here is chapter seven. Enjoy!
