Krissy cringed as Beni hit the ground and as the bludger hit her. She hadn't shot it at Beni which meant it had to be one that had been shot at Mike and missed. She hoped the ref would call a pause but she wasn't sure if it would happen. But still she kept focussed on the game, she knew Keagen would take good care of Beni.
Krissy flew towards Abi "You alright girl?" she called to her, guessing something was going wrong. She knew this couldn't do and thought of the only thing that might possibly help both teams. "REF?" she shouted "Can we have a time out?" she questioned. It might give Beni time to recover slightly and give Krissy time to find Abi a better broom and Krissy also wanted to see if Beni was ok. She wasn't a Hufflepuff but it didn't stop Krissy from worrying about the fatc thatshe just smacked into the ground.

Arianna watched, hands gripping the arm of the boy next to her, as Mike led Beni into the worst possible place to be when one wasn't prepared. Was that even legal in a school game?
"Ooooh..." the girl squealed, her eyes shut tight. She could easily imagine the the crash and following pain without seeing the whole thing for herself.

Ryder had been caught up in the mess of quaffles and bludgers being tossed and hit about so quickly he wondered if he'd sent a few too many out for the game. He didn't catch sight of the accident at first, but no one could ignore the gasps and hollars.
Blowing his whistle again, the man jumped off his broom and stalked over to the girl, peering down at her with a large frown. He didn't know much about injuries and half wondered if he should have asked the nurse to come stay on the sidelines. Just in case.
"Where does it hurt?" he asked the first question to come to mind as he knelt down over the girl, hesitant about touching her unless absolutly needed.

Abigail gripped the broom handle tightly and finally brought it under control as Krissy arrived beside her. "I'm...er..." She didn't really know what to say, for the truth was, she wasn't okay. Her legs were shaking slightly and her teeth were chattering, the hot chocolate wearing off. "I'm o-okay," the firstie stuttered as she looked up at the older Hufflepuff. "Just gotta' get used to it, is all. Sorry about dropping the quaffle."
Abby glanced over at the scene on the ground. She had grimaced at the sound of the multiple smacks and cracks, however knew she needed to stay focused on the game. "Is that Gryffindor alright?" The Huffle hadn't seen which one it was that crashed. Even she knew that move Mike had pulled off was pretty spectacular.

Beni wasn't sure what was happening with her pain. Had she been in so much pain that she couldn't feel it anymore? Or was she hurt at all? Either way, she felt very tired, and yet she didn't want to stop. Her pain was trivial all of a sudden. "Get.. on with the bloody game," she barked at the ref.
She cradled herself to an upright position, putting her hands on the grass, and grasping it to get up. For a slight moment the entire world spun but her, and she struggled to get up and catch up with it. "Don't stop the bloody match!" She slid her ankles beneath her and started to get up. Her arms and her legs were fine, she thought as she scrutinized any specific pain.
As she was fully standing up, she put all of her pressure on her legs, though she gasped slightly as she stood. I must've hurt my hipbone or pelvis or whatever they call it, she concluded, yet she didn't voice it. Time was running out for as the anti-broomsickness potion was in its full effect. "Bollocks! Where's my broom?" She spat out as she looked round the crowd.

When she heard the whistle blow, Anna dove down to check on Benita. Strange things was, when she touched the ground, Benita seemed to be fine and wanted to play, but was now arguing with the referee on where her broomstick was. "Benita, your standing up! Are you sure you are ok?" she asked.

Dan dismounted his broom and made his way over to where the ref now stood, hovering over Beni. When she began to stand Dan looked at her, thinking she would want to step out but all she wanted to do was go on with the game. " Beni, I don't think that's a great idea... " He said to her, trailing off as he waited for someone else to put their two cents in.

"Your bloody right it's not a good idea. But neither was taking a spill from an avoidable trick," Beni hobbled from her spot in the center of people to where her broom was.
The limping annoyed her, as did her common sense, but she was willing to forget that for a bit. The more she would be on the ground, the more of a chance she wouldn't be able to fly again. She already drank the all of the anti-broom sickness potion.
"C'mon, ref. Call the game back on!" She said, on her broom but not quite flying yet. She seemed to be in a flamingo position, afraid to put too much pressure on her right hip.

"I bet," Keagan replied shortly to Beni's statement as she looked at the girl with a grimace of sympathetic pain. It was at that point that the referee finally noticed the poor girl's predicament and came rushing over after calling a halt to the game. Though Keag wasn't physically pushed away from the prone body of her comrade, she felt as if she might as well have been as her presence was completely ignored as the group formed around Beni. Of course, Beni would be the center of attention seeing as she was the injured party.
Watching warily as Beni tried to stand, Keagan stood herself. However, before anyone could move to stop her, she was already on her feet. Keag recalled what Beni had just said to her moments before about her pain and rose an eyebrow slightly as Beni called for her broom. "Are you sure you should be in the game?" Keag asked, though she knew Benita would need to be for them to have a full roster. They might be able to manage without her as the Huffle's seemed to be short a few people, but it wasn't ideal. Of course, she kept her mouth shut about those thoughts.

((Changed this a bit.))
Brittany's mind had remained fully in the game throughout the whole ordeal. But as soon as the ref's whistle had blown she had flown as fast as she could to Beni's crash sight. Holding her broom she watched silently as the ref investigated and Beni stood. She was not sure that she could send Beni back into the game. The girl could have possibly fractured her hip or something worse. It was not a good idea at all, but she could barely think of anything else to do.
Looking to the referee she tried to think quickly about things. Hufflepuff didn't have a full team and she had noticed when landing that her newly 'hired' alternate, Deryn, was standing on the sidelines. Keagan seemed to be catching on to the chaser position exceedingly well and Brittany was a very able and flew pretty good.
"Beni, I don't want you hurt any further," Brittany hesitated and then continued, "So you're out. I'm going to take your place as seeker for the game and Deryn Morgan will take mine since she is one of the alternates for the chaser position. Keagan, I need you to become lead chaser for me and I know that you can do it. Ref, does that sound alright to you?" She knew that she had the final decision over her own team since she was the captain but she wasn't 110% positive it was the right thing to do.

Addison had been having a good time getting into the game, shouting and cheering on his team, even wondering if he might learn to play. Where did wizards come up with this stuff? Brooms, four balls, two of which were constantly trying to knock your block off. Who wouldn't want to play?
"Is...is she okay?" the boy quietly asked after Beni's fantastic show of a wipe out. She'd probably earn a few scars for that one.

Krissy flew to the gorund as the ref blew the whistle, most of her team following down after her. "Abi come with me" she said to the younger girl walking accross the field. She knew the Ref would look after Beni and Krissy would go see her in a second. Krissy pulled out her wand and acciod a spare broom from the cupboards inside the Huffle locker room. It was Krissy's old broom, if hse had known Abi didn't have her own she would have given it to her sooner. She also got her hot chocolate to fly out too. "Here" she said to Abi handing her the broom, "Use this one, I know it works its my old broom, its still in pretty good quality. You can have it until you get your own" she said with a smile. And here, she handed the themous of hot chocolate to Abi have some more of that if you need it. Krissy gave Abi another smile and then turned and headed over to where the Gryffindor team was.
She listened for a second and then realised that Beni still wanted to play "Beni, I know I'm a Hufflepuff and all but I really don't think its a good thing for you to continue playing you should probably see a nurse or something..." She didn't think Beni would pay any attention to her at all but it didn't worry her she still thought she better let her know.
She turned to Brittany "Do you still have enough players to play?" she asked her quietly.

Dan looked up to Brittany as she flew down, talking both to the ref and Beni. She looked a little beat up but an injury in the game was still just that, an injury.
He then looked to Krissy as she made her way over to where the small group of mostly Gryffindor players had gethered themselves. He thought that Krissy did have a good idea. " Beni, I think Krissy's right... " He told his team mate.

Mike flew down after Krissy and cautiously walked over to Benita after landing. A guilty look came over his face as he looked at her, she wasn't in good shape at all.
What had he done
He had done what had, had to be done to help out his team and improve their chances at winning. But why did he feel guilty
"Beni..........i'm sorry"
He said to her, his voice was normal yet apologetic at the same time, he had known the risks of performing a move like that. But Benita hadn't noticed the move when she had been pulled into it, but in the end it was the whole point of it

Anna stood there beside Beni waiting for a decision to be made. She wiped some of the rain that was dripping all over her face along with some mud when she touched the ground. "Beni, I really don't think it is a good idea if you fly. You could hurt yourself even more and this weather is not good for it either." she said to her.
