"I own you, Bette. With this, we’re joined. If I die, all those tied to me will die. Never forget that"
Bette shook her head in defeat. She knew the consequences of Jodi’s death but in her anger she had forgotten all about it. Suddenly her body became stiff and Bette tried not to panic. She couldn’t move any part of her body and right then she knew . . Jodi had taken control.
Still, she opened her mouth to argue but was interrupted when a familiar voice called from behind her.
"Caretaker!"
Bette couldn’t turn but she recognized the King’s voice. Her eyes widened in panic when she realized what could happen. With the corner of her eye, she saw Tina’s father approach and all of a sudden Bette felt her body free of Jodi’s hold. Not wanting to waste any time, she immediately used her freedom to pull him to the side.
"You Majesty, what are you doing here? It isn’t safe"
The King pulled his arm from Bette’s hold and stared her down, "Safe for whom, Caretaker? Did you see what you almost did? What happened to talking of the treaty?"
Bette sighed angrily, wanting desperately for the King to get away before Jodi could take over her body again.
"I’m sorry my Lord but there is no talking to this woman. Please just get to safety"
All of a sudden, Bette felt her body tense up again. She couldn’t move any of her limbs as she felt a chill run through her veins. The only thing she was able to do was move her eyes and she did just that. She looked at the wide, evil smile forming on Jodi’s face and couldn’t do anything more than scream inside her own head.
Oh God . . please no
*****
Tina sat on a soft bench, her knees brought up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around them. Her mother and Carmen helped tend to the wounded people while Alice and Tasha spoke quietly in a corner. Tina knew she should be helping somehow but she couldn’t muster any strength. All she could think about was Bette.

You are the Queen “B” (and I mean this with the utmost respect) of drama. Brilliant everything, loved it and want more. I’m on my knees typing this hoping you feel it. Thank you Miss Liah.
