They ran all the way to the castle with Amanda floating closely behind they stopped at the steps.

          Tigress stopped abruptly, then, with a sigh, she continued to follow them towards the castle. "I can always explore the forest later I suppose." She mumbled half-heartedly. Mostly wanting to wander mindlessly, but knowing it would be better to see how Amanda was doing...

          James sat up and gazed around the clearing. He stood up quickly and ran out of the forest suddenly realizing it might not be the smartest idea to be alone in the forest at the moment. Then, just as quickly as he stood up, he ran out of the forest.

          Leigh sat Amanda on a bed and put a bottle of the water from the forest on the bedside table with a note telling her to drink it, it'll make her feel better with that she covered her up and ran out of the castle smiling.

          Amanda woke up the next day and tried to sit up but couldn't. She saw the note on the table and read it. After she finished reading it she did what she was told and drank it. It tasted like fish mixed with some sort of meat. Her back and legs were aching really badly.

          Sirius walked into the Hospital wing "Hey Amanda, feeling alright?"

          Amanda looked at Sirius and smiled lightly. "Alright I guess. I am still a little sore from the forest. What about you?" he asked and sighed.

          Kyra Leigh, Manten, Jease and James' knocked out body came into the wing ignoring everything but putting James on a bed, it must have looked odd two centaurs a goblin a girl and a knocked out boy on a centaurs back, Kyra sat James down and Leigh waved her wand and tied him tight down with ropes, and sat Jease on a chair beside the bed. "Jease you do not let him move or untie him under any circumstances I don't care if he pleads you to do so." said Leigh taking James' wand. The goblin nodded and held his magic staff close watching James' every move.

          "Oh we didn't see you two in here. I remember you we helped you out of the forest yesterday how are you feeling? Did the water help?" asked Kyra concerned, she always had trouble leaving people hurt anywhere and would help anyone who was in danger. Leigh sighed and put some cushions on the ground Manten sat down with Leigh on his back facing James' Kyra sat down also but facing Amanda to be sure she was ok. Jease hopped up and down in his chair excitedly.

          Amanda didn't say anything for a while. She just looked around the room at everyone. "Who... who are all of you?" she asked quietly. She continued to look around at the goblin, centaurs, Leigh, and the body of James that was lying on the bed.

          Leigh made manten shift around so she could see Amanda and she threw James' wand at Sirius, "Amanda this is Manten, Kyra Manten's sister, Jease the sugar high goblin who is stronger than you think and you know me I'm sure." she said pointing to all of them they all nodded and every once and awhile looked at James' for any sign of movement. "Strictly speaking these three aren't supposed to be in the castle but they don't listen." she said smiling pointing to the centaurs and the goblin.

          "Oh alright then. Now to answer your question. I'm feeling all right. I am still aching though. The water did help a little. It took away the sting in my leg but my back still hurts." she said and sat up some more.

          "Amanda you might want to umm lie down a moment that water is how do you say a little alcoholic with out saying it's like wine? It just makes you dizzy if you drink it to fast." she said smiling messing with Manten's hair again. Kyra turned into a human and lie down on one of the beds she was tired having not slept all night and decided to get some much needed rest while she could. "Well I was about to go to the library and look in the restricted section for something do you guys want to come?" asked Leigh who was still brushing Manten's hair.
