A/N: I said I needed 3 reviews, but I didn't see I just got one a couple hours before I posted the teaser so I really needed 4. Even though I have 9, I think you all deserve it because I asked for 3 and i did get them. Here is Chapter 13!


Chapter 13: Emergency

"Good morning," Ian smiled when I opened my eyes.

"Morning," I said still half asleep. "It's morning?"

"Yeah," He said kissing my forehead. "I've been watching the sky get lighter for the past few minutes."

"Yesterday sure passed fast," I yawned. "I was barely awake."

"Well we did stay up until the sun started to rise," He said kissing my forehead again. "And we used a lot of energy yesterday that we didn't really have."

I sighed and sat up. Ian was right about yesterday, but that didn't mean I would sleep today away. I didn't read to Emma for the second night in a row. For trying to be the loving sister I could, I really was failing lately. Emma needed me, she didn't have her parents or sister.

"Wanda. Ian," Jeb called from behind the door. "I'm coming in."

Quickly, I pulled the blanket up to cover my chest. When Jeb said he was coming in, he gave you a few seconds before he really did just walk in. He was nice for warning you, but people learned not to let that make them think he's a push over!

"Good morning," Jeb smiled as he walked in. "How are you feeling today?"

"I'm feeling fine," I said. "I don't think Jared will be yelling to and at us today since he said he would give us our space."

"That's good," Jeb said nodding. "I need you and Ian to go out today because Mel had a bad fall last night."

"Is she alright," I gasped.

"She's with Doc and Candy," Jeb said. "She's not feeling any pain right now, but she might have broken her ankle. Is there's anything you can get to help her, that would be much appreciated."

"We'll leave to go find whatever we can in a few minutes," I said.

"Thanks," Jeb said walking out and closing the door.

As soon as the door was in place, I jumped out of bed and ran to my trunk. We needed to leave as soon as possible because Mel's ankle needs to be healed. I don't think we had anything for broken bones, but we'd find out soon enough. I would have to have someone break my finger so I'd have en excuse to go to a healer.

"I'm not going to hurt you," Ian said, pulling me out of my trance. "You'll have to have someone else do it because I won't."

"I know who I'll ask" I sighed, wishing he would do it.

Putting on a bra, underwear, gray tank top, a red, white and blue stripped skirt and red flats. Since I would probably get cold, I put on a navy blue, long sleeved, three buttoned shirt. I wasn't sure which bag to grab to carry supplies out in, so I just grabbed my gray backpack.

"Let's go," I said looking at Ian, already dressed and sitting on the bed. "You go to the car and I'll meet you there after I get my finger broken."

Ian looked skeptical, but left the room. I ran out of the room, past him and went to find Kyle. Kyle would do it, hopefully, because it would help more than just myself. He was being nicer, but maybe this would be too much for him.

"Kyle," I yelled when I ran into his room. "I need you to break my finger."

"Wanda," Kyle said looking at me in shock. "What-does Ian know you're here?"

"Just break my finger Kyle," I said sitting on the blankets of his bed. "I need to go to a healer and get something for Mel, but I can't go in unharmed and Ian refuses to hurt me. Please Kyle."

"Give me your hand and look the other way," He said putting his hand out. "Do you have a preference which finger?"

"Index," I said looking at the door. "But I don- AHH!"

"There you go," Kyle said apologetically. "Don't tell Ian you had me do it. I know you asked, but I don't want him mad at me for doing it."

"I won't," I said holding back tears. "Thank you."

I ran out. I couldn't stay in there with Kyle to cry when I was needed. Ian would be able to wait in the car while I was inside, even go for a walk if he wanted. I made it to the car the same time as Ian, concerned that I was crying. Nodding, he understood that someone had helped me and we needed to go.

"Just be as quick as you can," Ian said after our quiet car ride. "I'll be here when you get back."

I nodded and got out of the car. It was hard to concentrate on keeping calm so I could talk, but it was hard. I was going with the story that I had broken it while cooking because I was new to this body and not used to it yet.

"What happened," The secretary asked when I came in crying.

"New body, not used to it, think I broke index finger," I cried.

She quickly took me to a room and a doctor came in. I watched her closely, not asking questions because I could barely talk. After the No Pain kicked in, I still stayed quiet because I felt embarrassed for crying, though the pain was excruciating.

"I have to cut into your finger to spray it with some heal," The doctor said putting my hand in a bowl of ice. "It will take a few days for it to heal so I'm putting on a splint. The ice is the help the swelling go down until I get back."

She left and I went to the cabinet. Inside were splints for all kinds of broken bones. Not knowing which to grab for Mel and future injuries, I just started shoving them in my backpack.

"She's calmer after the No Pain, but she's still quiet," I heard my doctor's voice getting louder. "I don't think she's part of the human resistance because she has blue eyes."

I froze. Something thinks I'm part of the resistance. If I wasn't careful, they would find out that Ian wasn't a host and eventually find Mel and the others! I grabbed all the splints except the one on the counter, made them all fit in the backpack and jumped back on the exam table.

"This won't hurt, but you will see a bit of blood if you watch," My doctor said as she walked in. "It will be quick."

I took a deep breath as she cut my finger open, sprayed with with a lot of Heal, put the splint on, and taped it up. The whole thing lasted about a minute. I was happy it was over quick because I wanted to get home to Mel.

"All done," She smiled. "Anything else I can do for you?"

"No," I said quietly. "Thank you."

"Any time," She said, walking me to the front door. "Hopefully I don't see you here again."

I nodded and walked quickly to the car. Ian had to know everything and that we had to be careful on the drive home or we could be discovered. As long as we we drove slow, we would make it home. We had to be as careful as possible because Mel was counting on us to help her. She was hurt, and I was the only one who could help her.


A/N: Because 10 seems to be too high (though with 29 followers I'd think it would be easy), I'd like 7 reviews for Chapter 14. Let's make it happen! :)
