While her body was given a short rest she reached out towards her table by the bed. She was so weak she could barely reach it. The woman approached and gave her several items before she actually gave her what she wanted. It was a picture of them together in a big tree. But behind that picture was the one she needed. She pulled the frame apart and pulled a picture of herself with a man and very young girl. Phaedra gripped the woman’s hand tight as she felt the waves of the sickness coming back.

“M-M-Melvin Porter, Salvador…Pe… Pescadores de…” she barely got out before she screamed and her veins protruded through her skin as she buried her head into the pillow and arched her back into the pain.

It was now a week later and Tina’s mother hadn’t said anything to her about helping Bette. She was still worried about how Bette was doing, she’d called Alice practically twice a day to get an update and she gave her the same answer as before. Tina was building herself up to approach her mother when she heard her in her head, “Christina get dressed and come with me.”

Tina didn’t delay, this was the first time her mother had spoken through her all week. She walked down stairs to living room and everything was dark her mother’s voice scared her half to death.

“Hold this.” she said sticking something pulsating in her hand. “Do not drop that.” was the last thing Tina’s mother said before she felt a rush of wind and in the blink of an eye they were standing in Bette’s room. Tina’s body all of a sudden felt like it was being squeezed and twisted. She dropped to her knees and leaned back mindful not to drop whatever was still in her hand. The beating pulse got stronger and stronger as the pain she felt got more intense.

Tina’s mother watched her daughter as she almost had trouble breathing. The side effects of realm jumping and disconnect fever were still rough on someone as young as Tina. She was not mindful of that. She grabbed Tina’s chin in one hand breathed into her mouth. Tina instantly caught her breath as the pain slowly subsided.
