“You really should think about taking some sort of fucking lesson on shifting.” Bette said as she stood up and staggered dizzily over to the porch swing.

“Hey, I got us here didn’t I?”

“Yea but we’ve shifted like a half dozen times.” Bette’s repl muffled by her burying her head in between her legs.

“Oh God, you’re such a pussy.” Alice said before walking back into the house, slamming the screen door behind her. Grace was coming out of the kitchen with a scotch in her hand looking down the hall and she saw Bette enter the house after Alice. One look at her face and she was amazed, so much she dropped her glass shattering at her feet and she couldn’t take her eyes off of Bette.

“You’re here.” she said still captivated by the young woman standing in her door way staring at her. Bette’s eyes were glued to Grace and she didn’t know why but she felt as though she’d met her before.

Kit was still awake as she could feel the fear and pure terror flowing through Tina. She wanted to go in and wake her up, hold her, and tell her that what she saw was only a figment of imagination, but she couldn’t. She had to let Tin see these things, they were all apart of what was going to strengthen her enough for the inevitable battle for her life.

Kit went to Tina’s bedroom and opened the door, she saw how Tina was still asleep, but she was sobbing uncontrollably. Her body was shaking so hard she’d thrown herself to the floor and had wrapped her arms around herself curling up into a ball.

Suddenly Tina sat upright and without warning she let out a shrieking scream that shook the house and blasted out the windows of the house. Kit forced herself to fight through the force of her voice and grabbed Tina’s shoulders shaking her awake. Tina went limp in Kit’s arms and let her head fall back.

Eddie came running into Tina’s room and saw how Tina was slumped over in Kit’s arms, “Is she ok?”

“She’s fine, are you alright?”
