Right lets see the mess Snow made. Also do check both of the fight chapters from last week and let me know what you think.

Any mistakes let me know and i hope you enjoy.

Frenda ran up to Fídi and Snow, as she ran, she saw Faye and Wynn looking on terrified, as she reached them, she saw Snow cradling Leo and Fídi putting pressure on the wound, Frenda went up to the two girls, who were holding on to each other tight.

Once they saw her, they hugged her tight, Frenda felt her heart shatter as she heard them sniffing and shaking.

Frenda heard a groaning coming from the side, she glanced over the origin of the noise, she could see Ironclad struggling to walk up to them holding his side and limping slightly as he walked.

"I need this kid on the first transport back now!" Ironclad ordered to the medic, while holding his side, which Frenda could see was slashed much like Leo's facial wounds.

"Fídi, take Frenda and get Leo and the girls out of here now!" Tammy ordered with a girl in a familiar looking grey cloak, Frenda put the person to the back of her mind for now.

Fídi picked up Leo and carried him to the transport, the wounded boy groaning all the way "Frenda, you get the girls!" the teacher ordered as she left the forts doors.

Frenda ran holding the two girls' hands as they mounted the transport, once they were all on board they took off and flew back to the capital.

The medics on board kept working on Leo throughout the trip, while Wynn sat next to Fídi, Faye sat next to Frenda, both sat sniffing with tears rolling down their faces, silently watching Leo.

Frenda felt helpless, she wished she could help but all she could do was hold Faye and provide some tiny shred of comfort, she was brought back to the orphanage when I was attack, she hated this feeling with all her might, all Frenda wanted to do right now was slam her fist into the wall, but she knew she had to keep up a front for Wynn and Faye, she was starting to get an idea what her brother was feeling the other night.

Frenda was rather confused, she hadn't seen the storehouse after she got into the fight, she had told Leo to stay inside why did he leave 'What happened?' she thought, as Leo let out a groan, making Faye grab her arm tighter.

"Don't worry Faye, the docs will take good care of him, I promise." Frenda whispered.

Faye said nothing just kept looking at her friend and occasionally sniffing. The rest of the trip back was much the same, once they had reached the landing pad and the doctors had taken Leo away to the hospital for more treatment.

(Few hours later)

Frenda was awoken by someone shaking her awake in one of the chairs at the hospital "Wake up sleeping beauty." The voice whispered.

Frenda looked around her in front of her was her team, to her side was Faye and Wynn sleeping curled up together.

"Hey mum?" Frenda yawned.

"How you doing?" Maple asked.

"As well as I can considering." Frenda looked at the two girls.

"Any news?" Tomoko asked.

"No, he's still in surgery." Fídi answered coming up behind the team and handing Frenda cup of coffee.

"Where's Tammy?" she added.

"Oh, she took that bandit that was with her back to the capital, not sure on Snow."

"I'm here." came a quiet voice.

Frenda looked over and saw Snow, Sininen and Ironclad walk up to them, the latter holding his side which was heavily bandaged, as they did, she heard Faye and Wynn stir and looking at the others.

When they saw Snow the pair scowled, Frenda thought they were trying to kill Snow just by looking at her, Frenda put her hand on Faye's shoulder, as Wynn went up and hugged Fídi.

"Should you be up and about?" Fídi asked Ironclad ignoring Snows attempt to talk to her as she held onto the green haired girl.

"This one wasn't even close." Ironclad joked "Besides it will give me a chance to see my nephew James."

"Is there any news on Leo?" Snow asked fiddling with her hands, once she reached the group.

Frenda felt Faye physically shake then jump up and then heard the ginger girl growl "Go away!"

"Faye, I…"

"I don't care!" Faye screamed "It's your fault!" Frenda looked between the two, Snow looked pale as a ghost and Faye looked ready to tear Snow apart, thankfully Fídi kneeled down and whispered to Wynn who went back to her friend as she dragged Snow away.

As Frenda held on to the two girls with her arm wrapped around them both while Faye held Wynn.

Frenda looked over at Fídi and Snow, as Snow was talking Fídi seemed to be getting more frustrated till eventually Snow said something that made Fídi snap.

"You had a job to do and you left it to him!" Fídi shouted pointing at the doors Leo was behind "I don't care what Atlas wants with you, but whatever it is, remember this the next time you want to do something reckless, now sit the corner!"

Frenda and the girls all looked at Fídi she had never lost her temper before, she'd always remained cool and calm, now though Frenda thought she'd frozen time for a second, till Snow sat in the corner like a scolded child.

"Why is she here, I thought you wanted her to go to Atlas?" Fídi asked once she was back.

"She wanted see how the young lad was doing before leaving, besides I wanted to say thanks for your help and I also wanted to see how he was doing." Ironclad replied offering his free hand.

Fídi took it and shook it "Don't mention it, though you should be thanking Tammy not me." the staff user smiled.

Then a doctor came through the double doors "Leo Heat?"

"Is he ok?" Wynn asked on the verge of tears again.

The doctor looked at the young girl before sighing, Frenda had a feeling of dread wash over her as the doctor began to speak "He's alive." he started, which got the two young girls smiling till the doctor continued "But he's suffered massive trauma to his spine."

"What are you saying doctor?" Fídi asked coldly.

"I'm sorry, but despite our best efforts he won't walk again and he'll be in a comma for some time."

"A comma?" Wynn shook.

"The trauma he suffered was severe, he slipped into the comma as he arrived apparently."

"When will he wake up?" Frenda asked, as Faye and Wynn looked pale at the news.

"I don't know, I'm sorry, we really can't say at this point."

"You lair!" Frenda heard before Faye started to hit her "You said they'd take care of Leo, you lied!"

"Faye, stop!" Wynn pulled Faye away as Frenda was stunned by what had just happened "It's not her fault."

"But without Leo we'll be put in some care home and separated, I don't want that!" Faye then hugged her friend tight, all looked at the pair in silence.

"Faye…" Frenda tried to speak but one look at the girls snarling face stopped her in her tracks.

"That will do." Fídi cut in "Doctor can these two see him?"

The Doctor nodded and opened the door for them "You lot head back the school, get some rest, I'll keep an eye on these two."

Faye remained quiet, simply burying her face in Wynn's neck as Wynn hugged her ginger friend as she led the two down the hall.

Frenda watched the two disappear behind the doors with Fídi, she felt cold, the sudden outburst from Faye still ringing in her ears.

"Frenda, are you ok?"

Frenda turned to see her brother looking at her, Frenda just nodded feeling all her energy pour out of her feet.

As they walked Frenda walked next to her brother, her head resting on his shoulder remaining quiet replaying what Faye had shouted at her, her eyes stung as tears tried to flow.

"How you doing sis?"

"How do you think?" Frenda groaned.

"Not well."

"Then why ask?" Frenda snapped, moving her head to look at her brother, she could feel her team's eyes on her, Frenda sighed and dropped her head "Sorry." she muttered before she hugged her brother and began crying, Sininen hugged Frenda back running his hands through her hair, she hadn't cried like that in years, but right at this moment she didn't care about that or who saw her blubbing like a baby.

The time between then and heading back to her room was blur, she was pretty sure once she got to her room, she just went to bed crying.

(Next morning)

Frenda was sat at Beurling's little smoking spot looking at the rising sun, her knees brought up to her chest and arms wrapped around them holding them to her, she hadn't slept well, a couple of times Maple had woken her up as she'd been fidgeting in her sleep. While she was thankful for her friends concern she wished to be left alone.

The events at the hospital and what Faye had said running on repeat along with Fídi's words on making a promise.

'Damn it!' she screamed in her head punching the floor.

"You know this place used to be private." Frenda turned to see Beurling lighting a cigarette.

"How long have you been there?"

"Long enough to see your still beating yourself up." Beurling sighed as she sat next to Frenda.

"Don't Beurling, I know you'd be doing the same if Klara was angry at you." Frenda knew that was a low blow but Tomoko and Maple and tried to talk to her earlier and she'd just shut them down she wanted to be alone, Beurling trying was the last thing she wanted.

"Oi, just because your upset, it does not give you the right to use my niece against me!" Beurling took a calming breath and sat next to Frenda before sighing "They're not angry Frenda, just scared."

"Sure, seemed angry to me."

"Fear makes people do things they wouldn't normally, I can't blame Faye, those care homes are terrible places."

"That's not making me feel better, we're huntresses, we're meant to protect people and I let Leo and the girls down, now he's crippled and the girls are facing who knows what, how do I just forget that."

"You can't save everyone, trust me, however hard you try, you can't, you also didn't let the girls or Leo down and you don't forget stuff like this, you remember it." Beurling replied blowing some smoke from her lips, as Frenda turned to face her "Charlotte told me once, the worst thing you can to a person is invalidate all they did, even if its small."

Frenda looked at the brawler confused "What are you going on about?"

"If you forget what Leo and the girls went through, it will invalidate it all and what they suffered, so don't forget what they did or went through, you use it to push on to do better, we couldn't save the tribe from being attacked and we couldn't save Leo from being paralysed, but we can save the next people we are sent to help and use what happened to Leo as motivation."

"Is that why you have that rip in your jacket so clearly repaired?"

"Yes, Tomoko was hurt because I wasn't good enough, so I use it to remind me to do better, this time she's ok and i'll keep getting better using what happened to her and to Charlotte to keep me pushing forward, i know i can't save everyone but that doesn't mean i'm going to mope and stop if i fail, far more will die if we did that, the Grimm and bad guys don't stop just because we're down and want a break or some personal time." Beurling explained as she touched the repair "The jobs done, we're not, focus on those you can still save."

"You're a cheery soul, aren't you?" Frenda sighed, but she did feel a little better at Beurling's words if only slightly, she still felt the guilt and heaviness from Leo's fate, but she also felt a slight second wind, as she knew Beurling was right the Grimm would never stop so why should she.

"You're the happy one not me, so chin up, you're doing me out a job."

Frenda smirked at her friends joke "Thanks, sorry it's just…Faye…it really hit me hard."

"Don't worry about it, it's natural for such a soft heart."

"Yeah, you only have a soft heart for Klara and Tomoko don't?"

Beurling sighed though Frenda saw the blush on Beurling's cheeks "If your making those jokes your better."

"Maybe a little."

"Good." Beurling smiled as she stood up "Maple said we're heading back the hospital."

"Huh, why?"

"Fídi came by while you were mopping up here, said we all had to come to the hospital." Beurling explained pulling Frenda up to her feet.

Just as Beurling went to leave Frenda spoke up again "Beurling, thanks really I mean it."

"Alright don't get ahead of yourself, your still Maples problem not mine."

"Yeah, must be hard keeping an eye on someone else, when your eyes always glued to Tomoko."

"Oh, will you stop?"

"Only when you start dating." Frenda smiled as she walked through the door.

"You're a dammed liar, you'd just change the jokes."

"Ooh was that an admission?"

"Frenda!"

"Alright, I'll stop, for a while at least."

The pair walked down to their room and joined up with Tomoko and Maple. As the four walked to the hospital Maple came up next to Frenda.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm not sure, i still feel bad for giving Leo that gun, sorry for earlier by the way."

Maple sighed "Its fine I get it, though next time try not pushing me and Tomoko away when we try and help and call us interfering cows, I know your upset about what happened, but Leo will recover, he's a tough boy and the girls will be fine."

"Frenda look, if i was in your situation, when Leo asked me for the pistol i'd likely have done the same and give him the gun, he knew the risks when he asked."

"But we're meant to do the fighting not him."

"We can't be everywhere Frenda, however much we want to, all we can do is what we can."

Frenda sighed and her shoulders sag, till she felt a a pair of arms wrap around her "I know your worried, but trust they will be ok, like i trust you to have my back ok."

Frenda returned the hug "I'll try, mum."

"Don't push it, now come on." Maple replied as she broke the hug, before the two carried on to the hospital.

(Tammy POV - Shade Academy- Tammy's office-last night)

"How's the kid?" Tammy asked a presence that walked into her office and she was looking over some papers.

"He'll live, just." Fídi sighed.

"And the girls?"

"Staying my place for now." Fídi then produced a piece of paper.

"Whats this?"

"A plan." Fídi answered as Tammy looked over the paper.

Once she was finished Tammy wrote her name at the bottom "You know they might not like the idea."

"Maybe not, but the same could be said for your plan."

"Touche." Tammy sighed "Plus i need council permission, which makes it harder."

"You weren't expecting them to just let her off?"

"No, but i had hoped, now i need to get this one to work."

Fídi smiled "I'll bring her to you tomorrow then."

Fídi turned and walked away "Goodnight captain."

"Good night." Tammy yawned a reply to her friend.

Huh whats Fídi up to i wonder?

Also whats Tammy's plan for Sky then?
