Me: Welcome to Chapter 10, the second most horrible chapter I have ever written.

Brooke: Aw, C'mon, I take offense to that.

Me: How exactly?

Firefrostflare: Maybe because she's the main character...?

Me: So she wanted her brother to fall out of a tree?

Firefrostflare: I guess so.

Brooke: EXCUSE ME I DID NOT! *death glare*

Firefrostflare: *holds hand up in defense*

Me: Calm down, Brooke.

Solace: Guests? Denow? Where's Denow?

D'Anna: One guest per chapter, smart one.

Solace: *glares at Firefrostflare* Leave. NOW.

Dean: Maybe if you glare at her hard enough, she'll turn into Denow.

Firefrostflare: Excuse me?

Brooke: That's about as likely as her eyes sprouting pies.

Dean: Did you say PIE?

Firefrostflare: O.O Woah...Just like Ben...

Solace: Who now?

Me: It's a character I'm her Fanfiction. Here, I have the link here somewhere. s/8905287/1/Pokemon-Ranger-School-What-happened-Before. Click on it.

Solace: I am NOT touching that.

Dean: I will *presses button*

"This forum is insecure. Are you sure you want to submit?"

Dean: O.O Never mind.

D'Anna: Thanks to everyone! Including Denow, Renxoxox, Princessjewel101, caninegirl365, and of course, the magnificent Firefrostflare.

Firefrostflare: I highly appreciate that last comment :)

Pichu: Hello all.

All: *screams* When did you get here!?

Firefrosflare: YOU CANNOT STORY JUMP!

Pichi: I can do whatever I want. And guess who I brought with me?

Ben: ? who are all these people?

Solace: Who the heck are you? And what's with your hair?! (Note: Click the link up there!)

Me: EVERYBODY GET OUT OF MY FANFICTION!

*everybody leaves*

Me: I didn't mean it that way. Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 10: Annoying

"Kalyn!" I said annoyed as I tried to shove the spoon in his mouth.

"Brooke..." He sighed "I'm not hungry."

"Eat!" I cried.

Kalyn stared at me in confusion, then sighed, and ate what was on the spoon.

"Happy?" He said.

"No..." I refilled the spoon "Eat."

"Brooke...really." Kalyn turned over, his back to me "I don't want any of that."

I sighed, then put the bowl on my night table. I had pretended I still wasn't feeling well- which had required a good deal of acting, so I could skip school and stay with Kalyn. Of course, he wanted me to go to school, but I was going to have nothing of it.

He hasn't been eating or drinking, which Elwin specifically said there should be lots of, so I wasn't sure how I was going to force it into him.

He ended up throwing up the spoonful I fed him, but you know, I couldn't do anything about that. I was worried though. Mid terms were about one and a half weeks away, and I had no idea how long I was going to "be home sick". So I lugged all my studying stuff into my room, and basically set it all up on the floor. Kalyn fell asleep, so I started to work on some metaphysics. Solace, D'Anna, and Dean called me on my Imparter at lunchtime, demanding why I was at home.

"Why aren't you at school?" Dean demanded

"Oh, well, you know," I tried to hold in my sarcasm, but I suddenly realized how angry I was "I kind of had to stay home with Kalyn while he recovers from back injuries. Would you care to explain how that happened?"

Dean accusingly pointed to Solace.

"What did I do?" Solace asked on a bored tone.

"You threw a ROCK at my brother and he fell out of a tree!" I cried "I had to take him to Elwin last night because he was breaking a fever!"

"Look, I'm sorry, ok?" Solace sighed "How did I know he was going to fall out of the tree?"

I cried out in frustration " You know what, never mind. You obviously don't care at all."

"So how long do you think you're going to be away?" D'Anna cut in.

"I have no idea. Depending on when he feels better." I sighed "That's the hard part about this."

"What do you mean?" Dean asked

"I mean, I can't just leave him. And I cant get anyone else to stay with him, because as far as anyone's concerned, he doesn't exist."

"I'll be sure to send you your work," D'Anna smiled "And I'll check up on you. We can figure this out together."

"Thanks D'Anna," I said "That means a lot."

"I'm sorry, ok?" Solace repeated, but I could tell it would be a while before it actually sounded sincere.

"Alright, Solace," I sighed "But I don't owe you dessert, or chores."

"Fine," She sighed then smiled "But we are still hanging out."

"Base Tag when he's better?"

"You're on."

I waved a hand over my Imparter and the image disappeared.

"You know you don't have to stay here," Kalyn said, and I jumped

"Kalyn!" I breathed, "Don't do that."

"No really," he smiled "If you have school, you can go."

I stood up and sat on the bed "I can't leave you here."

"I'm fine."

I raised an eyebrow. "You said that yesterday when you were sprawled out on the floor in pain."

He smiled "Really, I am."

"Lemme see," I said unfolded the covers.

"Alright." He turned over and I slowly unwrapped the bandages on his back.

The deep bruises didn't look so bad, but they still looked like they hurt.

"I'm really sorry," I said, as I flipped the covers back "I shouldn't have brought them. They just really wanted to meet you."

"S'ok." Kalyn said and wrapped an arm around me "You didn't know."

"I did," I said "I'm just stupid."

"Nah," he said.

"Will you please eat?" I stared at the full bowl on the table, then looked up at him with pleading eyes.

"Brooke..." He laughed

"If you aren't going to eat, you aren't going to get any better."

"I'm fine." He said for the bazillionth time, and I slapped him.

"Don't say that," I glared "Don't lie."

He winced "Fine, it hurts, happy? What do you want from me?"

"For you to be honest," I sighed

"Ok, I'll try."

"Does it hurt a lot?"

"Sometimes."

"Do you want some more painkillers?"

He chuckled "You are such a funny duck."

"Not a duck," I interjected

"Quack, quack."

"Sure you're ok?"

"Brooke..."

I sighed. I didn't realize how stupid I was being. If he was fine, he was fine. I was just being annoying now.

"Ok," I said and hopped off the bed.

I sat on the floor and studied all the subjects I felt I wasn't ready for. I didn't have a clue how I was going to pass this year. When Kalyn fell asleep again, I went into his "non existent" bedroom, and replaced the blueprint under some sheets. I walked into the kitchen to find something my brother would actually eat, when I saw it. On the mat by the door. An envelope engraved with the seal of a dark bird. Another letter from the Black Swan. Only this time, the letter wasn't addressed to my parents. It was addressed to me.

Me: So, yet another atrocious chapter.

Firefrostflare: That was NOT atrocious. I don't know see what your problem is.

Solace: I do!

Firefrostflare: Solace, no. Just don't. Be quiet.

D'Anna: You just...asked Solace to be...quiet?

Solace: *glares at Firefrostflare and conjures sword* Bring it on!

Firefrostflare: Of all the times that I didn't bring my sledgehammer...
