Tina looked down at the arm as she noticed that it was coming out of Bette’s belly button. A white arm with slender fingers wrapped around Tina’s wrist and held her tight. She’d brought her down further and closer to Bette’s face. The movement causing Bette to bend forward with the force.

The color in Bette’s eyes was lighter. Which meant that Phaedra could see a little bit clearer now. She felt Tina’s hand touch her daughter’s stomach and watched as it shimmered green again.

She let her go and stared at Tina’s face, “It’s you.”

Tina had never seen that look on Bette’s face before. It scared her at first. She could feel something coursing through her and she instinctively placed her hand on Bette’s stomach. That’s when she heard the different voice come from Bette.

“It’s you. You’re the one.” she’d said.

Tina pulled away scared and that’s when her mother walked back in swinging her arm in out and adjusting to the newly healed bone.

“Christina do the burns on her back. The burnt snake flesh will definitely spread if you don’t. “

“Mother she just… she just… she…”

“Give it here I’ll do it myself.” she snatched the medicine from Tina’s hands and walked over to Bette’s body. She sat her up and began rubbing the concoction into her skin. She didn’t want to stay another minute if she didn’t have to.

Phaedra saw her. She looked just the same. The strong metallic scent as usual moving to the back of her throat almost choking her. She sat up and concentrated on the new spell she was saying.

Just as Angela removed the snake skull from Bette’s neck and rubbed it down with her concoction she felt Bette being pulled away from her and stare with malevolence in her eyes directly in to her.

　

“Don’t fucking touch her.” Angela heard the familiar voice speak to her.

She grinned at the girl whose features seemed more like her mother’s now than ever. “Phaedra? Still connected I see.”

“You knew I would be.”

“I did. And let me tell you dear friend I can see the fear in your eyes right now coming through so clearly through this… gorgeous young woman.” she finished dragging her finger down Bette’s arm making Phaedra’s skin tingle and crawl.

“You touch her again, and I’m gonna rip your fucking head through your asshole.”

“Your empty threats don’t mean a fucking thing to me.” she hissed back moving closer to Bette.

“No? I know you only saved my daughter to protect your own destiny. I swear if anything else happens to my daughter I’ll make sure to shear your flesh from your bones slowly for days.”

“You know you were always so predictable Phaedra. I can smell the jungle on you from here. Still sleeping with the natives?” that caused Phaedra to back down a little. “You don’t even know how many times I’ve had you and this little girl of yours has thrown me off the trail. But not any more, I can see everything about you and believe me I’ll see you soon. It’s our destiny, remember?”
