Casey came into the courthouse it was good to be back at the job she loved. She sighed as she went towards the prosecution's area and looked up. She wondered which judge would proside over this case she hadn't been told of it but than again she hadn't been told of a lot of things these days. Her hair was now tied in a ponytail since it was long enough to be and she looked all around. When the trial finally started she suddenly started to feel a feeling although she couldn't describe what it was.
"People's ten your honor...the email message detailing Mr. Saunders attack at the night of the eighteenth..." she showed the whole court the document enclosed in an evidence bag. She suddenlly felt that she was gonna pass out but she kept her composure. Her voice quieted.
"people's eleven and twelve your honor...the weapons found at the crime scene...the same marks were on the two victims..." she said trying to now stop herself from collapsing.

Judge Peters listened looking at the case in front of him then around the court. "Go on, Miss Novak" he said to Casey Novak. He hoped that she was OK but he had a feeling that something was happening, which got him worried but he said nothing, in case he was wrong. He looked at the one on Trial and signed as he looked at Novak. "May i have both papers, please" he said to her then looked at the Jury making sure they were listening too. He then used his hammer and hit it hard on his table as he heard noises in court room. "Silence in the court room, whoever makes this noises please stop or get out of my court room" he said signing. When then was silence again he looked at Case Novak.
"OK, you can proceed now, Miss Novak" he said to her. Ready to silence people again if it's needed, yet he hoped that he won't need to. He hated yelling and hitting his hammer on the table but he did that anyways when he had no choice. "Objection, your honor" Mr Saunders's lawyer said. "Sustain, no interruptions please" Judge Peters said and gently hit his hammer on the table. "Wait for your turn" he said to Mr Saunders's lawyer not amused. He hated interruptions and it was an interruption for sure.
He then looked at Casey Novak signing her to continue with her side of things, so that he would have enough information from both sides. "We don't have all day so lets continue with the trial, and you councilor wait for your turn before you start talking and objecting" he said and then looked at the case in front of him before looking around the court room again.

Casey gave him the papers even though she was not entierly sure why. He wasn't one of the judges she was used to and maybe he ran things differently? she walked forward approaching his bench and handed the two to him now really looking like she wanted to collapse. She in fact did and she was doing all she could to keep herself from doing so. Turning to the defendent on the stand she asked.
"Didn't your brother tell you Mr. Saunders that....your ex wife and her sister MIGHT be innocent?" she asked trying to make her voice audiable as much as possible. But she felt beyond weak for some reason she felt some dark energy around her but she couldn't say anything now.
Karl Saunders nodded. "They tried" he said simply.
Casey conteanued. "wasn't it common knoledge that you had a violent temper...so you went off for the night and took off...even after you knew that there was a possibility that the two wemon many not have been responsible...you didn't care did you?" When he didn't answare she asked again. "did you or did you not care Mr. Saunders?"
Karl shook his head. "NO you moron....I didn't freakin care..."
Casey smiled weakly. "no further questions your honor" she said sitting back down.

He took the papers that Casey hand him and looked at them, while still following the trial. He once in a while looked away from the papers and after the last reply from Mr Saunders he just glared at the guy:"no cursing in my court room" he said to him not amused by that either. "Councilor, your turn" he said looking at the other lawyer who seemed to look threw his papers and acting as if he didn't heard the judge. "Councilor your turn and please don't west my time nor the court's time" he said signing. It took a while but eventually the other attorney walked forward but he first dropped some papers so he got down and picked them up. Judge Peters just signed and shock his head.
"Mr Saunders, is that true that one of those woman called you and threatened you?" the other attorney asked. The judge Peters looked between The Attorney and Mr Saunders, waiting for Mr Saunders to reply. Even so it took a while so he had to ask him to answer. Karl "Yes it's True and they seem to enjoy it". Judge Peters then looked at The Attorney who showed everyone some papers. "This papers were sent to my client by his ex wife and her sister before the incident" Mr Saunders Attorney said. Mr Saunders Attorney gave the papers to Judge Peters once he asked for them.
Judge Peters checked the papers out then looked at Mr Sanders then at His Attorney after that at Casey Novak. "Miss Novak, you alright?" he asked as he though he saw her about to faint but he wasn't really sure though, yet he was concern about her. Everyone else turned to look at her also.

Casey turned trying not to look like she wanted to collapse or die or whatever. She knew she was going to eventually lose conciousness soon but she couldn't understand why. Was someone here a demon, she had heard that certain demons had the power but of ocurse that woulod be obsurd. Demons didn't exsist. She wondered if she was coming down with something because she had a weak immune system or so she thought. She also wondered if it was just her body shutting down on her because it was getting used to the new routain and her reinstatement. While she had been unhappy after her disbarrment she knew she had been more relaxed but now in court she looked awful but she had to ease everyone's mind.
"I'm fine your honor...." she realized something that just clicked in her head. "Your honor permission to approach?" she asked. She wanted to tell him something but she didn't want the whole courtroom to hear but before she could hear his answare she finally did collapse. She lay on the floor motionless and almost dead she than began to moan as if she was in great pain. No one was touching her but she moaned some more and finally she started crying whatever pain she was feeling was too great for her to handle on her own.

Judge Peters watched what was happening as well as listened. Yet when he saw Casey Novak faint and he got worried as well as many others other then Mr Saunders and his Lawyer. He asked few of the cops to take Mr Saunders back to his sail. Even so Mr Saunders's lawyer didn't agree with that and even asked the Judge to release Mr Saunders because he innocent and that this so called fainting just proves it but Judge Peters ignored him knowing all to well that she didn't pretend and that she fainted for real. He knew that she wasn't feeling well and he even asked to replace Mr Saunder's lawyer since the other Lawyer, didn't even do his job well at all.
Judge Peters thought that if he is like that that he should be switched because he has no idea how to be a lawyer. Not to mention Jack Peters even wondered how that Layer even passed and became a lawyer if he has no idea how even to be one. That was a mystery to him as well as to other people. However even Carl Saunders was pissed with the idea of going back to his sail. Not that Judge Peters cared because he knew he was doing his job as well as he was doing that right thing and the guy's Attorney as well as the Guy himself are gonna have to accept that. Jack Peters wanted to make sure Casey Novak was OK first then the trial would continue. He even called an Ambulance for her as he set by her side.

The paramedics finally did come and took her to the hospital. She was alive but barely so and her overworking this case hadn't helped matters. While carrying her out one of the medics turned to Jack. "What happened?" he asked as he went and lifted her stretcher onto the ambulance and ushered the Judge to get in with her. "You're gonna have to come with us"
During the ride, Casey slowly awoke. She figured out she was moving, or rather the ground beneath her was. "W...What?" she asked as she looked around herself. She started to panick seeing that she wasn't at the courthouse. Dsoriented and a bit afraid for what was going on she did the only thing she could do or tried to do, she tried to get up but when she did try she felt someoen's hand on her shoulders firmly.

When the paramedics got there he let them pick her and all, he was worried sick about her. That was not expected at least for him it wasn't. He wasn't even planing to stay behind since he cared for Casey a great deal. "We had a trial and it looked like she wasn't feeling well not sure why and then she fainted but before that she said to me something and was about to walk over but fainted." he said to the paramedics. "Would she be OK?" he asked them.
He looked at Casey seeing her wake up he looked at the paramedics then at her. "Casey? you are in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, you fainted in my court counselor" he said to her while the paramedics didn't let her stand up. "Stay down miss we are on the way to the hospital but you will be fine. Just stay down you need rest" one of the paramedics said to her.

Than it hit her...the trial, Karl Saunders, the lawyer, her reason for wanting to approach the bench and than her fainting. She didn't feel any better now than she had at the courthouse something told her that this incident wasn't normal and was in fact...supernatrual...but she was not a wiccan, why was she all of a sudden thinking about supernatraul crap? trying to get up but at the command of the paramedics and Judge Peters she remained at her position of laying down. They were restraining her anyway.
"What I wanted to tell you....he....the trial...I...I can't" but she couldn't quite form into words what she wanted to say. She felt like ripping her hair out she was so frustrated. "please understand me.." she moaned looking at Jack.

Jack watched her closely, he was really worried about her more then anything in the world. He and the paramedic didn't let her stand so it won't make matters worse for her because that truly won't help her nor anyone else. The trial wasn't important to him or at least it wasn't more important then Casey Novak anyways. How could it? after all she was a human being and wit out her nothing is the same, and Jack valued life which is one of the reason he became a judge. Other then for putting in jail criminals. He was planing to continue the trial ones she gets better.
"What? sorry i can't understand you. Maybe you can tell that to me later, what do you think? like after you get well, that can wait don't worry about it. Your health is way more important then anything else." he said to her. He could tell that she was struggling to say what she wanted to say to him, so he figured that she shouldn't try to hard right now and that it would be better if she waits till she gets well. "I wish i could, Mr Novak but i can't. I think you should rest it would help you. Then after that you might be able to say exactly what you wanted to"

Casey realized yes she was making no sense and was doing herself no good but she tried more anyway which was straining her even more. She wanted to despretely to say what she wanted to make people understand this wasn't normal. She also was wondering why was this happening to her? she didn't think that she was anyone special, and certainly her mistakes had proven to people that fact surely.
As she laid there in thought and on the way to the hospital, she saw something. She saw three men appear out of nowhere holding crossbows (darklighters) but not knowing what they were she didn't think anything of them. Unitl something in her head told her to think, to react, to do something. She never minded everyone else's command to sit back down. She got up from where she was and this was when one of them turned their crossbows to her, trying to shoot.
She jumped out of the way and thought frantically. "I need to do...SOMETHING" she knew she was in danger she just couldn't see a way to. Something than materialized from her hand, a bottle...a white bottle...something told her to throw it at them...at her attackers and to the utter confusion of everyone in the ambulance, she did...and of course the impact of everything made her collapse again.
ooc) i'm going to make this a bit ingeresting, you should try and lengthen your posts btw its already long but still I'll try too

(ooc:it is interesting, well to go. I am going to make my posts longer too and it's cool. How did Casey got powers so? just curious)
Jack looked at Casey worried about her, he hoped that she would be OK soon and that she also would be released soon. He put his hand on her shoulder. She then held her hand gently or tried to, after all he did saw her as a friend and really did care for her. He wasn't gonna leave her till he knew for sure that she would be OK but he will visit her though. If she stays in the hospital that is. Jack was curious why did she faint and why didn't she say that she wasn't feeling well before that. Jack was blaming himself for her fainting, he should have stopped the trial once he saw some signs that something was wrong.
Jack looked at Casey waiting till they get to the hospital then looked around and back at her. He was really worried about her even more now then before, if tat was even possible. He thought she was seeing something that terrified but he couldn't see what it was since every time he looked to the direction she did the darklighters were not there and only showed up again when he looked back at her. Jack watched her sit down , which confused him but he and the paramedic that set by him didn't try to stop her from sitting but both tried to find out why was she sitting and what was going on.
"What is it, Casey?" both of them asked her worried and very much confused. "Is there something that is bothering you? is there anything i can help you with?" the Paramedic asked while Jack just looked at her concerned. Both Jack and the Paramedic were waiting for her to reply. They both wanted to know what was happening.
They noticed Casey moved out of the way so they turn around and froze seeing two man's there holding crossbows at Casey but the Paramedic and Jack had no idea how to react to that though. Then they both looked at Casey as something materialized in to her hand, which was a bottle. They were confused by it by the looks on her face they figured that she was confused by that too. Then they watched her surprised as she threw the bottle at the 3 man(the darklighters), it got the 3 attacked to orbed out in orbs that fit only to darklighters. After that they looked at Casey again as she collapsed again. That worried, scared and confused them as in everything that just happened scared, confused and worried them.

Nobody asked any questions though as the parmedics put her on the stretcher and carried her into one of the rooms. Putting her on it they connected an IV to her vein and told the Judge. "Don't let her out of your sight I don't care what you gatta do...she needs rest and she's not gonna get any better if she keeps on moving around..."
Casey was passed out for the next minutes before waking up again. What was happening to her, she didn't know she thought she just geniunuely was going crazy. She wondered if she could be pyhsiciatriacally evaluated but than she realized it would but her in a mental ward and she would no longer be able to do the one thing she loved. She tried to get up but of coruse saw the IV. "f**k" she swore not meaning to just becuase she didn't like being bound up like this.
"Get me out of this i'm not sick I'm fine!!!" she started to say but she knew there was no use in doing that. She tried to get up but that didn't work because she didn't want to spray IV on anyone or everyone. She wondered if she could cut the IV connection, probablly not. She hated hospitals and hated it more when she was bound up there. She was so frustraited so she looked at the Judge. "I'm gonna murder you if you don't get me out of this"

Jack followed the Paramedic inside, watching them carry Casey inside. He then watched as they carried her in to one of them rooms as well as he got in with them. He the set by her as the Paramedic put her on the bed and connected her to the iv. He listened to what they told him and nodded. "I won't leave her side till i know it's OK and she won't go anywhere, just rest no matter what you can count on that." he said then looked at her, he wanted her to get well more then anything in the world. He looked around then back at her, he was praying that she would be fine soon.
He looked down then at Casey, right when she woke up and tried to get free and all. He then stood up and pushed her back down or tried to. He knew he was being firm but he had no other choice, she needed rest or she will be in a worse situation then she was now and he surely didn't want that. When she cursed he just signed:"Counselor, i have to ask you to calm down relax. I know it's not fun but you gotta do this for yourself. Casey, you need rest. I Am sorry but there is no way i let you go, i gave my word. Casey don't fight it, i am sure you don't like it but it's for your own good, trust me" he said to her firmly. He kept holding her town, not to mention that he called the police station asking that some cops would come and help him keep her down so that she would rest. Jack knew that he could use all the help he could get with her.
"Casey, please calm yourself down, You fainted in court and you are pretty weak. The Doctors here are gonna do some tests on you to know what's going on and how to treat you" he said still firmly. He called some doctors in so that someone would tie her up, so the doctors asked some nurses to do that. Jack hated that but he knew there wasn't any other way. It was or that or let her hurt herself more. He looked around then back at her as some cops came with their Chief. So Jack talked to the Chief, then the chief left some of his man near the door so that she won't try to run or anything like that. It hurt him to see that or agree to this but that was the only thing they could do to make sure she won't move. The judge looked at Casey feeling bad for her but wasn't amused at all by what she said, he signed and shock his head. "Casey. Calm down, you are not gonna murder anyone. So please watch your tongue and take a deep breath. You are not gonna go out of here, not yet. Only when you will be better, you can't be released till everything with your health will be fine and fixed." he said firmly a while later.

Casey tried to find a weapon, anything that would break fee. She saw some cops from the local NYPD. They did the general crimes that wasn't Homicide or Special Victims related and nothing major case related but now their job had been to guard her. She saw someone she knew. "Andrea" she choked as she was now tied but still struggling.
Officer Andrea Mandez approached Casey and gently had her shoulders. "Don't fight this Casey look...you love helping innocent people and putting criminals behind bars but right now...you need help...otherwise this can go to Donnelly and you can deal with her..." she said sternyly. She was a few years younger than Casey but that didn't mean she didn't know how Novak operated. Turning to the Judge she said. "Judge Peters...I suggest you keep her talking and get her attention away from the fact that she's tied down...I think that's what's pissing her off"
