After taking in as much anger as she could on this plane she’d realized her husband was bound to be suspicious of this disaster. She closed her eyes and everything around seemed to straighten itself out. Everything moved in reverse and fixed itself, the window’s glass placed and mended itself. Her furnishings were in the exact same spot they’d been in just as her husband opened the door to see her standing on the steps of the living room.

“Hi, honey.” he smiled at her as he took her side in for a kiss on her cheek.

She smiled at him and said, “Hello Sweetheart.” she grabbed her bags that were neatly at her side and proceeded into their bedroom. “Kit, wants to play too.”

Phaedra fell to the ground weak and spent. That had taken most of her energy. She strained her neck and looked over towards the truck trying to find Jesenia. She could only see her feet sticking out. She slowly raised herself up and went over to her, she was laying on the ground face down and her ears were bleeding. She picked her up and placed her into the truck. She’d gotten into the driver’s side and with her head throbbing it was hard for her to focus on the road. Thankful that she’d convinced Jesenia to take the way through the jungle so they could get by undetected.

The movement from the truck shook Jesenia awake eventually. She felt dizzy and all she could hear were muffled engine sounds and a constant piercing ringing. She started to talk and couldn’t hear herself, she panicked and reached for Phaedra screaming at her, “I can’t hear, What happened to me!”

Phaedra grabbed her arms and shook her, “Jesenia!” she screamed at her. They locked eyes and she spoke slowly, “You’re going to be fine, I had to mend your eardrums. Give it a couple of hours! Okay?”

Jesenia nodded, she trusted Phaedra and if she said it would take a while then all she could do was wait. She sat back and placed her trembling hands in her lap. They were further in the jungle now and she hadn’t seen anyone for miles. Phaedra could feel the fear coming from Jesenia, she knew she was frightened and now realized how serious this situation was. She reached over and took her hands into her own and squeezed them assuring her safety.
