"He's got quite the temper hasn't he?" The Doctor refered to Selene looking at her in worry.
"Yes, but I am sure he has his reasons for it. Still, he shouldn't have acted that way towards you, I'm sorry for that." She apologised.
The doctor nodded,. 
"I'll ask old Jeremiah to take you home himself, you shouldn't walk all the way back on that leg. You need more time to heal."
Selene frowned.
"I need to run the farm...how long will I have to..."
"Maybe your siblings can help you out with that. Otherwise you'd need to hire help. I'm sure the Elders are willing to do so if asked."
Selene sighed, feeling defeated.
She didn't need to wait long for her ride home and felt terribly empty when she limped into the house. 
When she entered she saw the saddened faces of Edric and Ella as a note lay on the table in front of them.
"So he left huh?" Selene asked barely audible.
Edric looked at her with concerned eyes.
"What happened with the two of you?"
Selene explained as best she could what Malcom's had told her and how they had discussed the matter. She felt worn and in no mood for dinner. Edric confirmed that their sheep had been brought back and that they had mentioned that their sister had been attacked. 
Selene sighed telling both of them what had happened and cast her eyes down.
"Please...just take a little rest sis." Were Ella's worried words.
Selene nodded walking towards the barn. "I'm going to take a bath first I need to get the stench off of me, besides I still have one good hand, so I am not a complete invalid yet." She said forcing a smile.
"I'll get you some water and other clothes..." Ella offered as she hurried upstairs.
Selene simply waited now having to rely on others to help her, its was almost soothing in a way if it didn't feel so dreadfully wrong.
When the bath was ready Selene asked Ella to just leave her be for a while. 
There as she sat down into the tub she felt herself break down completely. Desperate she stifled her sobs, not wanting her brother and sister to hear her grief.
