Dreama had stayed in the treatment room with Volf that night, she slept in the recliner beside the bed. Volf slept peacefully for the most part. She knew that the IV was helping him with the pain medications and antibiotics. She sighed softly when she woke in the morning, she stretched some and then went to wash her face in the bathroom. She went into the kitchen to cook some breakfast when she saw Trooper come in from the guest room. "How did he do last night?" She sighed softly "He slept well, was still asleep when I got up a few minutes ago." Trooper nodded and reached for a mug of coffee.

Dreama finished making some breakfast, and went into the treatment room to check on Volf. She walked over to the bed and sat down beside him and touches his forehead checking for fever, she was relieved to see he didn't have a fever. She smiled softly as he woke up some. "Good Morning Volf" He smiled some and nodded his head. "Morning love." Dreama moved to check his bandages, "How are you feeling this morning dear? " He sighed "Like I was in hell of a fight."

Dreama smiled and nodded, "Well Volf you were in one hell of a fight, you have bruises everywhere, along with a knife wound in your side, a deep almost to the bone cut in your left thigh and then a cut on your shoulder down to your chest. It took me a while to get you cleaned up and patched up. I want you to keep your IV in for a while longer." He looked to her and nodded, "Yeah I know it was pretty bad, I just didn't think that they would stoop so low as to trick you into there, I feel horrible that you had to see me fight." Drema touched his face and forced him to look into her eyes "Volf love I am glad we were there, if we waited much longer you could have bled to death."

He nodded his head some and sighed softly, "Yes I know Dreama, but I want you to stay safe." She smiled softly and kissed the end of his muzzle. "I know dear but I want to be there if something like that happens again to ensure you are treated properly and get home in more than less one piece." Volf looked up at her and shook his head, "No you won't come to get me unless I call you Dreama." He moved to get up from the bed but fell back with a groan. "You know what Volf you can keep that tone right now and stay in that bed until I say it's okay for you move to our bed. "

She got up and left the room, she walked into the kitchen and slammed a cabinet door with her fustrations. Trooper frowned and looked at her, "I take it my brother is being demanding in there." Dreama looked at him and sighed "No Trooper he just ordered me to not come to help him unless he calls not texts he doesn't want me in danger again, but he can put himself into danger." Trooper sighed and nodded his head. "Yes he can be stubborn, but he wants to protect you from danger and keep you safe." Dreama nodded her head, "Yes he is the most stubborn and protective man I know, but that doesn't mean that I can't help him and also take care of myself as well."

She sat down hard and covered her face in her hands being fustrated. Then a few minutes later they heard the sounds of feet on the floor moving into the kitchen. Dreama looked up seeing Volf, she jumped up and rushed to his side seeing the pain in his eyes and him staggering from him walking on his wounded leg. "What are you doing out of bed Volf? I told you that you were going to stay there until I deemed you ready to move." Her voice had a hard edge to it, but she also had the concerned tone to her voice. He closed his eyes and took a breath after she helped him sit down on a chair. "You were upset and angery with me." His voice was weak and weavering from the effort it took him to walk as far as he did. "I had to come to talk to you, and appologise." He looked up at her, pain in his eyes both emotional and physical. Dreama sighed softly and sat down in the chair next to him, she took his handpaw into her hand. "Volf yes I was upset and angry, but that doesn't mean that you need to get up and hurt yourself by getting out of bed before you are healed."

He nodded and closed his eyes,she can tell he was close to passing out. "Trooper help me get him to the bedroom and laying down before he passes out." Trooper nodded his head and moved to one side of Volf and Dreama was on the other and they slowly moved with Volf between them to Dreama and Volf's bedroom.

They had Volf lay down and he rested his head back against the pillows and breathing deeply with his handpaws fisted and his eyes squeezed shut against the pain. Dreama gently rubbed his handpaw and then got up and went to the treatment room to go get him some pain relievers, she came back and saw Trooper sitting beside his brother and trying to calm him down. Volf was thrashing around yelling for her, she rushed to the side of the bed. "Volf I am right here I am here don't worry Volf." The sound of her voice and the feel of her hands along with her scent calmed him down where he stopped thrashing and yelling, he opened his eyes and looked up at her, "I don't know what happened Dreama it was like I was dreaming." She nodded "You probably passed out and started to see your fears."

He nodded and tried to relax, Dreama then moved and gave him the pain medication. "There that should help with the pain while I check your wounds and clean them." He nodded his head "Okay love I am sorry, I just hate it when you are upset with me." Dreama sighed and kissed his muzzle, "Even if I am upset with you, I will always love you Volf don't ever question that. Also you should have known I would have been back in there in a few minutes." He nodded his head and closed his eyes feeling the pain meds kicking in, she went to work on checking his wounds.

Dreama sighed in relief that there was nothing torn open from the many wounds, though there was some seeping from the leg wound. She cleaned him up and then smiled softly seeing the pain meds had caused him to fall asleep. She covered him with the blankets and went into the kitchen where Trooper was sitting and sighed softly. "He's asleep again and should be alright now. I just don't know what to do about all of this happening. I know when he's healed he's going to be going back out there to take care of the issue." Trooper nodded and sighed softly "Perhaps I should train with him when he's healed to help him out."

Dreama looked to him and sighed softly "Perhaps, but I don't know what Lily will say about you putting yourself into danger."
