“It’s alright Jamero. It’s ok let me heal her. I’m not going to hurt her Jamero I promise.” she kept saying calmingly as he eased his grip on her. He saw how her hands lit up in gleaming bright green light and from her hands grew a ball of orange light that she pushed slowly onto Tina’s chest. The ball burst and seemed to run over her chest in a warm glow before dissipating into her skin.

“Jamero I can heal you too.” she went to touch him and he jumped back a little. “Jamero I’m not going to hurt you, I promise. You can trust me, it’s alright.”

“Who is Jamero?” he asked.

She smiled broadly holding back a small laugh, “That’s your name.”

“My name is Eddie. Steven Edward Kennard.” he said determined.

“Kennard yes. But Eddie no. That is the name they gave you. You were born Jamero Sterlin Kennard.” she said looking at him with tender eyes that matched his own. He questioned her but didn’t know what else to do or say other than let her heal him.

“How…?”

“I named you. You’re my baby sister’s only son. I am your Aunt Katherine. You can call me Kit.”

Bette drove to the school and used what little strength she had regained over the past couple of weeks to break into the audio/ visual department. It was all very tiring but she couldn’t wait all night and day to get to the answer.

She popped in her DVD and watched it again. She immediately paused it and zoomed in one still at a time. Looking at her sick face on a big screen was unnatural. Zooming into her red eyes was surreal, the sum of it all sent chills down her spine.

But it flashed and Bette took it back slowly and paused on the light in her eyes. She zoomed into her eye and adjusted the focus and saw it. The letters were clear as day, “Tina” .

She’d left a message for herself the only way she could without Alice finding out. It was Tina that she had her disconnect with. Who would have the power or know-how to disconnect to her and Tina from a dream cast?
