"I should go out."

Alex raced to the hospital and when she got there she realised that she could have used magic instead of being out of breath. She found Justin reading a comic in bed. He still looked really bad and was worried as neither their mum nor their dad had visited that day. Justin was still on pain killers and his wrists were in casts making picking anything up very difficult. Someone had to feed him and he felt very babyish.

He asked her whether she had any crisps on her as he really fancied some. She said no and that she knew someone was after her and Max and told Justin what had happened. He listened in silence and then said to her in the small voice he was using at the moment (it was like he was scared if he talked louder, but Alex knew Justin was probably in shock still for another reason.) that she was very silly and shouldn't have helped him as he 'wasn't worth it'.

"Justin how can you say that!" He just stared down and Alex knew she had to cheer him up. "Do you want some crisps?" He nodded she got up from the chair she was sitting in and headed down the corridor towards the vending machine. One the way she bumped into one of the doctors that had spoken to her and Max when they were here last.

"Miss Russo can I talk to you please." Alex nodded and followed the doctor out into a deserted office. She closed the door and then said. "I've just had a chat with your brother."

Alex sat down on the desk in the room and said "Is he alright?"

"Well I hope so last time I saw him he was a little tied up. And as for Justin all that magic being taken must really hurt." Alex felt her mouth fall open, how did the doctor know?

"Are you a wizard?" The doctor laughed and the glamour was broken and her father appeared in the blonde doctor's place.

"Hello honey and no I'm not a full wizard yet but once I take all of Justin's powers I will be again as will my son." Jerry told her.

"Who are you?" Alex yelled at the person who looked like her father. He took out his wand and shot a spell at Alex. Alex wasn't going to get zapped so she dodged it and ran for the door. She reached the door and narrowly missed another spell that hit the door frame. She pushed the door open and ran as fast as she could back towards Justin.

"Justin we're got to go!" She yelled getting attention as a spell hit her and she fell into blackness. Justin watched his sister be hit by the spell and he jumped out of bed and pulled the pole with his IV on it with him just as he saw his father aim another spell at him and his sister. He jumped to the left of the spell and felt the needle pull out of his arm. He bit back a scream and instead let out a sharp intake of breath as his arm felt on fire. He looked up again through the red hot pain in his arm as whom he thought was his father rush out screaming spells.

Justin thought he had gone mad his father was doing magic! That was impossible and couldn't happen. His father rushed up and pointed his wand at the bleeding boy and the unconscious girl on the floor and with a few words they had disappeared from the hospital in a flash of green light.

When Alex woke she found she was lying next to Justin who was lying on his side next to her. His eyes weren't open and his arm was bleeding. She got up and looked about.

She was in some sort of room. There wasn't much light but what she could see was that she was standing in some sort of storeroom. There were piles of stacked chairs and lamp shades along one wall and a dresser and a chest of draws on the other side. Mattresses were along the third wall and empty bookshelves were along the four as well as a door. She couldn't see any windows. It was very cold in the room as if cold air was getting in somehow.

Things weren't making sense her father had done this. That was impossible! It had to be someone who was using Jerry's image and she was going to find out who.

She went back to Justin and realised he still hadn't woken up. She slapped his face. "Justin please wake up!"

She tried again but still nothing. She suddenly felt very worried. Justin was only wearing hospital pyjamas and she was wearing jeans and a tee. She knew that it was cold in the room and that Justin wasn't well covered and there wasn't anything to cover him with. She felt lonely and scared. But she had to stay positive things weren't that bad; Max was still out there and he would bring help.
