“No Alice this is magical, it has to run it’s course. I can’t make your final phase, I’m sorry. Please tell Tina that too.”

“I would if I could. I just got a message from Tina that she had a family emergency and she won’t be able to make it either.”

That’s when it dawned on her, this sickness was not going to take a while to run it’s course. She had a one way disconnect from Tina and her body was still not caught up with her mind. It surprised her that someone would or could disconnect them like that. If Tina had awaken on her own then this would not be a problem. But she was taken from her own dream cast so Bette was left in between Tina’s dreams and reality. A place that the mind was susceptible to all kinds of sickness. Right then she decided not to tell Alice that it was Tina’s dream cast that made her sick. She didn’t want it to cause any riffs between the friends, besides that she wasn’t sure if dream casting was on Alice’s list of absolutely no interactions. She knew what she was going to have to do in order to get better, she would have to subject herself to a sort of sensory deprivation. Alice being a much more experienced witch three years ahead of Bette she’d had more time to deal with such illnesses and with both of her parents beings half demon and half witch she was a lot more powerful than Bette and all of their friends. She would have to have Alice put her to sleep for the course of the sickness.

“No, no, I’m not doing it. Absolutely not, you could be asleep for months. You could…”

“Alice if you don’t I’m going to get worse. A lot worse. Please, I need you to put me under a spell and tell the girls to leave me alone until I contact you guys.”

“Bette, we can find another way to…”

“The only other way to solve this is to have a blood relative take me under and out. You know that already Alice. I don’t have anyone Alice. I have a strong mind and body I’m sure I won’t be out that long.”
