Rhydian's POV:

I wasn't exactly happy Maddy was returning to her house. Many things can happen if she were by herself. But seeing her so happy to be back, I didn't have the heart to tell her no. Just then I see someone in the doorway.

I squeeze Maddy's hand and nod to the doorway. There walking towards us is Mrs Okanawe. She looked like she was carrying very happy news.

Eventually she made her way to our table. "So, I was just in conversation with the front desk and I will be able to release you without any of the hospital staff being suspicious!" I see Maddy's eyes lit up with excitement. "I get to go home!" She squeals. I can't help but grin. Seeing Maddy so happy was everything. Wish I could see that smile forever.

"So we can go right now?" I ask. "Yep, right after you kids finish eating." She ruffles Toms hair and leaves. "Mommy's boy.." Maddy mutters and I burst out laughing. Tom and Shannon looked at us strange. Guess they couldn't hear her.

After Maddy and I finish our breakfast we head out. Tom and I help Maddy into Tom's black SUV.

Maddy's POV:

I was SO happy when Toms mum said I could leave! I will be able to sleep in my own bed! I miss my house. With Tom and Rhydian's help, I made it into the SUV. The whole way over to my house Rhydian was playing with my hair. Shannon and Tom were in the front and Rhydian and I in the back.

It felt so good to be near him. The emptiness in my heart has been filled! I snuggled close to Rhydian, who laid his arm around me. After awhile we made our way up to the trail leading up to my house. Rhydian lifted me up and set me outside the car. Then he leaned in and grabbed my crutches. Handing them over he gave me a small kiss. "Welcome Home." He says grinning.

We walked in the door. My house looks untouched except for the blood trail leading to the dinning room. I turn around towards Rhydian and raised an eyebrow. "What?" he says trying to look innocent. "Did I really lose that much blood?" It was a rhetorical question, but none the less I said it. When I walked in the dinning room I gasped.

Blood laid in everywhere, staining puddles on the floor as well as on the table. Flashes of memories come back to me...

Im back on that evening, the pain fills me in waves. How did I not remember this! I'm squealing in pain as I see Rhydian running around the house panicking. I wanted to talk to him so bad, but again this was just a flashback.

My leg felt like it was on fire and was melting of my limb. I slightly see Tom and Shannon burst through the door. Shannon sobs when she sees my limb body on the table. Again a wave of agony fills me and I release an agonizing scream.

Rhydian was looking at be with pain and concern. I slightly hear "She won't make it, she is loosing to much blood." Then another wave of pain comes and the black covers me once again.

My vision is a little blurry, I hear a feint voice calling me, "Maddy,Maddy" It says. Later I'm a little bit better. I open my eyes and look around, Tom Shannon and Rhydian are looking at me with extreme worry. "Maddy?" Rhydian calls to me. "You hear me?" I heard him, but for some reason I could not reply. What just happened?

Rhydian's POV:

About half way to Maddy's house, she laid down and snuggled up against my chest. I felt her heartbeat against mine. I wrap an arm around her. Eventually we make our way up her driveway. I lift Maddy up as she squeals and squirms. I set her down outside, lean back in and grab her crutches. Before I hand them to her, I lean in for a kiss, it was slow and gentle, nothing much. "Welcome home" Her eyes are sparkling and her breath was deep. I held her hand and all of us walked in the door. Immediately I notice the blood, hopefully Maddy doesn't notice... She is still looking around then she sees the blood. She looks at me and raises an eyebrow silently asking 'What did you do?' .

"What?" I say trying to look innocent, she grins slightly then frowns. "Did I really lose that much blood?". She started heading into the dining room, I was just opening my mouth about to protest when she let out a gasp. I follow her into the room and see it. All over the floor and the table is her blood.

All of a sudden Maddy whimpers and crumbles to the floor. "Maddy!" all of us say in union. I ran and knelt beside her. Her pulse was through the roof while her breathes were short and shallow. She starts screaming in pain, then she would scream"RHYDIAN, HELP ME!" I kept shaking her begging her to open her eyes.

"What happened to her!" Shannon says worry in her eyes. "Is it a wolfblood thing!?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" I started to panic. "Tom! Help me bring her into the living room!" he doesn't protest, he jogs over to me and help me lift her to the couch. "How will this help!" shouts Shannon. "She started freaking out when she entered the dining room, maybe if she gets farther away she will stop!"

I looked at her and It looked like she was having mini seizures. Oh Maddy! "Shann you have any idea what's happening!"

"How am I supposed to know!" All of a sudden Maddy stopped moving and her screams were cut immediately. "MADDY!" I feared she was dead, I ran over to her. She stopped breathing! Then she let out a feint shallow breath. Relief flooded me.

"Maddy?" Why isn't she responding? "Maddy?" slowly she opens her eyes. Her focus seems very vague though. "Maddy? Can you hear me?" I ask, she still wasn't responding. She sorta looks around at all of us with wonder. "Umm Maddy you alright?"

She didn't look like she was in any kind of pain, in fact she kinda looked confused.
Then all of a sudden, her head fell back to the floor and her eyes shut. There was a long period of silence.

Shannon was the first to break it, "Well that was odd?" I look over at her with concern, "What?" She shrugged.

What the heck just happened! "Tom, will she be ok? What do you think we should do?" Panic seeped into my voice. "Mate, to be honest I have no idea... Considering she woke up and stopped screaming was a good thing. I guess we should put her in her room and hope for the best."

I guess Tom is right, she will be ok. I lift her up on my shoulder and go up the stairs. Her door was slightly ajar. I open it up and her room looked abandoned. Her homework was still on her desk, bed made. Clothes scattered across her floor. I gently set her down on her bed. I sat down next to her for a moment, but then got up and went downstairs.

It was around noon and I was getting hungry. "Want a sandwich guys?" calls Tom from the kitchen. I walk in there and see he helped himself to the food in their fridge. Shannon was at the kitchen table fiddling with her fingers. "She is asleep in her bed now." Shannon looked up and nodded gently.

"Rhydian, what do you want on you world famous sandwich?" Tom says this in his best french accent. (Honestly, not the best) "I don't know, surprise me." Shannon laughs ,"You sure you know what your in for." I grin, I nod anyway. I go and sit next to Shannon. "Im sure she will be fine Rhydian" She wraps her arm around me and pats me on the back. The she goes up and helps Tom with our sandwiches.

The result of my sandwich... A chicken and beef sandwich, dunked in mustard and wrapped in cheese. To be honest it looked revolting, then I took a bite. It was amazing! The beef and chicken were perfect together. "Well done Tom! This is really good!"

We continue to eat our meal. We had a brief conversation about Skyler again, mostly me and Shannon picking on Tom. Thats when I heard a slight shuffling up stairs. Maddy.

"I think Maddy is up, I'm going to talk to her." I get up from the table and trot up the stairs. With her door slightly open, I slid through the door. Maddy was sitting up, legs dangling over the bed, and her head in her hands. "Mads?"

Maddy's POV:

I looked around at their faces, each one showing the same expression. Worry and Shock. For some reason I couldn't think right. I sorta hear Rhydian saying something to me. I was so confused, they all were like a blurry camera. Without focus or meaning. Then once more everything went black.

For the second time today, I woke up in a bed. My head hurt a little from where I hit it on the floor. Rubbing my head I sat up and swung my legs down the bed. I heard conversation downstairs. Good, they are still here. How long was I out?

I put my head in my hands. Everything was just so disorienting. I heard gentle footsteps coming up the stairs and heading in the direction of my door. I heard the door softly creak open.

I didn't even bother to look up. For some reason all I could think of was what had happened. "Mads?" Rhydian said slightly concerned.

I look up at him and give him a smile. I patted the bed and he walked over to me. He embraced me into a deep hug. I still could barely talk. It was sorta coming back. My mind felt like it was slowly rebooting. "What happened Mads, you passed out down stairs." I looked up at him and slowly processed what he was saying. I just shrugged.

He looked at me in the eyes. Those deep blue eyes, then everything just snapped back into place. I released the breath I didn't realized I was holding and I could think clearer once more. "Rhydian?" Rhydian looks puzzled, "Yes, Maddy?"

"What happened when I passed out?" Suddenly his face became serious. "You collapsed and started screaming. You were screaming my name and started having what looked like mini seizures." He thought for a second on what he just said, then looked at me. "Mads, what did you see? Why were screaming for me to help you?"

I explained to him what I saw and how I couldn't talk to him. He smiled slightly, then kissed me on the cheek. "Glad to now you still care for me." He says grinning. I smiled back at him. Gosh, why does he look so much more attractive now? I then paused, Did I really just think that?

Rhydian then bent closer and kissed me on the lips. It was no little kiss either. He kissed me long and deep, showing just how much he loves me. I gasp, "I Love you." I blurt it out. Rhydian just looks at me grinning like a fool. "I love you too Madeline Smith." He then returned to kissing me.

I'm not sure we would of stop if Shannon hadn't interrupted. "Rhydian is she awake yet?" Shannon shouts from downstairs. "Yah, I'll bring her down in a minute." He kissed me quick and gently then lifted me up. "Come one, we're eating sandwiches if you wanna join us." I nod and we started downstairs. I helped me down considering the stairs plus crutches don't go well together.

When I got down there, Tom turns and looks at me. "Hey Mads, what do you want on your sandwich?" Rhydian leans into me and whispers, "Tell him to surprise you." He backed up and I saw he was grinning. "Surprise me Tom."

Shannon lets out a series of giggles, "Wow Tom, your sandwich is getting famous." I couldn't help but laugh. Tom just rolls his eyes and goes back to the kitchen. Shannon gets up and helps me over to a chair. "I've only had the cast for less than a day and I already hate it" I groan. Rhydian just laughs and squeezes my hands.

After awhile of chatting with Shannon, Tom walked in with a tray of more "surprise" sandwiches. We all went and grabbed one. I took a bite out of it and the chicken and beef was so good. It felt warm and chewy in my mouth. I must not of realized it but I let loose a growl. "Maddy!" Rhydian said shocked. I smiled obviously embarrassed.

Shannon and Tom just stared. "Ummm sorry" I said, "Your sandwich was good?" I offered trying to pull away the attention. They were still staring "What!" I said starting to get aggravated. Tom and Shannon just took another bite out of there sandwiches. Why on earth did I growl? Suddenly I wasn't really hungry.

Rhydian saw I wasn't eating and gave me questioning look. I quickly glanced down hoping I wouldn't give anything away. After everyone finished Shannon brought up the plates and I helped washed them in the sink.

After we cleaned up the dishes and put them away we headed towards the living room. Then I remembered the blood. "We should probably go clean out the dining room." I suggested.

Tom and Shannon went and got the bleach and I got the mop. All four of us ended up spending the rest of the evening. After all was cleaned up, we finally went into the living room. Tom got the armchair, Shannon wanted to sit on the floor near the table. So that left me and Rhydian to the couch.

"Who wants to watch a movie?" Tom ask. everybody agrees," so which one The Purge or Paranormal Activity 4?" Tom likes to watch horror movies, but me Heck no. "Umm, I rather go with the latter choice." Rhydian grins. he is the only that knows I Hate Horror movies.

Shannon puts on the movie and returns to the floor. Somehow halfway through the movie I ended up snuggled up in Rhydian's arms. Pretty much the whole movie though I was jumpy, I hate these kinds of movies. At one part especially, I got scared and practically jumped out of the seat. My veins started turning black, Rhydian even had to pull me aside into the kitchen.

"Maddy! What is wrong with you! First you growl over a sandwich, then you almost transform because of a movie!" I look at him sadly, "I'm sorry Rhydian, I don't know." His expression softened. He kissed me on the forehead. "We will talk about this later. Come one, lets get back to the movie."

When we went back to the couch both Tom and Shannon were asleep. Shannon was sprawled on the floor. I grabbed her phone and texted her mom saying she would sleep over at my house tonight. Toms mum would guess where he would be. "Rhydian, if you want you can sleep over?" Rhydian grinned, "Only since you insisted."

"I didn't... whatever." I was exhausted, I didn't care to fight. I waddled upstairs,insisting I didn't need help, grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom. I slipped on my sweatpants and t-shirt, brushed my teeth, and headed out. I grabbed two slipping bags from the hallway closet and waddled back downstairs.

Rhydian was on the couch looking at a picture of me when I was five. He heard me come up and turned around. On his face was a huge grin, "Was this you mads? You look so adorable!" He said laughing quietly trying not to disturb the other two. I growl in frustration and he just laughs harder. Guys.

I threw him the other sleeping bag and went to lay out my sleeping bag on the floor. Rhydian put his on the couch, after saying goodnight we turned off the lights and went to sleep. Well tried to anyway. After that stupid movie, I could hardly get to sleep. I hate horror movies!

So, I crept out of my bag, grabbed the crutches next to me, and made my way to the kitchen. I rummaged through the freezer and found what I was looking for. Strawberry Ice cream! Yum.. I close the freezer and turn around. There in the doorway is Rhydian. I yelped and almost dropped the Ice Cream. "Rhydian! I thought you were asleep! Why on earth did you want to scare me!" I hissed

He snickered, "Cause you're so adorable when your scared, that and you're pretty easy to scare." I groan, I grabbed a spoon out of the drawer and tossed Rhydian one too while I was at it. "So, you couldn't sleep either?" Rhydian asked softly.

I tried to think of a response but a reasonable one didn't show, so I told him the truth. "I can't sleep after scary movies..." I expected Rhydian to laugh again, but he didn't. "Why didn't you tell us that BEFORE we watched the movie." he said grinning. I shrugged, I dipped my spoon into the Ice Cream and found it soft and relaxing.

"Well if you want mads, you can sleep with me?" I immediately start to blush, but I guess he didn't see it as he dipped in his spoon too. He looked up at me waiting for an answer. No, just tell him you can't, tell him your leg hurts or something. "Sure, that would be great" I mumble. Why did I say that! He grinned and together we finished the rest of the container.

After me and him shut of the lights again and made are way to the sleeping bags. He went in and held his arm out to me, beckoning for me to join him. I sigh and put down my crutches and lower myself to the ground. When I got in it was so warm and comforting. I felt his chest heaving against my back. I snuggled in and forgot all about the movie.

"I love you Mads..." He whispered, but I was already sound asleep.
