“Alice!” Bette called. Lil and Helena jumped to Bette’s aid. Avery didn’t move an inch. 

“Avery go get Alice.” Bette ordered. 

“No need I’m here. What the? Why did you wait so long to bring her?” Alice said. 

“I’ll explain later. The change. It has started.” Bette said. 

“Well come on take her into the sanctuary. Everyone is gathered in there.” Alice said. 

Bette, Helena and Lil picked Tina up and carried her out of the room. 

“Well Avery aren’t you coming?” Alice asked. 

“Nope.” She answered. 

“Are you trying to piss Bette off or what?” Alice asked. 

“Why do always ask questions to which you know the answers?” Avery asked. 

“You know I don’t use my powers on family not like they would work on you anyway.” Alice said. 

“Whatever I’m going upstairs. Call me when its over.” Avery shimmered out of the room. 

“Alice!” Bette yelled from the hallway. Alice hurried down the hall. 

Tina laid on a stone table still unconscious. Blood oozed out of her nose and ears. She was pale and cold. 

“Her body is rejecting the change. She’ll bleed do death if we don’t accept her into our coven.” Alice said. Everyone instinctively took their place in the circle. Alice lit the five candles on the points of the pentagram on the table. She looked at Bette. Bette began the chant and the rest followed her. 

“In the name of the goddess and god,

 Heal our sister. Help her through.

 Oh healing light, surround us now,
 relive her spirit’s darkest hour” 

As they chanted Tina’s color began to return to her face. Alice laid her hands on Tina’s head and closed her eyes. She focused her healing powers on Tina. Bette, Shane, Helena, Lil, and Tasha continued chanting. 

Upstairs Avery walked out onto her balcony and took the last drag of a special cigarette imported from the magical realm. She lit five candles and placed them around a hammock. She took a deep breathe and sat laid in the hammock. Avery placed her hands on stomach and closed her eyes. She began to breath deeply. 

Tina walked slowly through a dark forest. She jumped at ever noise. Her head had finally stopped pounding but her extremely heightened senses had remained. 

Tina heard footsteps walking towards her. She hid in some Honeysuckle growing on an ancient oak. Her heart was pound and her lungs were tight. She could barely breath. 

“You come out. I’m not going to hurt you. I’m here to help.”  Avery sat on a lower limb of the tree. Tina didn’t move. “Come on Tina you have to trust me if you are going to survive this.”  Avery hopped out of the tree and brushed aside the Honeysuckle. 

The bright moonlight revealed Tina. 

“You’re really going to have to do better that if you wanna hide from me. It makes no difference to me if you survive or not. I’ve already gotten everything from you that I need.” Avery let the honeysuckle go.
