"Hey Grandma," Benny shouted when he opened her front door.

"I'm in the kitchen," she yelled back.

"Come on," Benny sighed and headed to the back of the house while Ethan and Sarah followed behind him.

"Actually," Sarah said and Ethan and Benny turned around. "I've gotta head out. I was on my way to meet Erica when I saw you two dragging Reyna."

"Oh," Benny's face fell for a second then he perked back up. "Bye." He flashed a quick smile and headed back to the kitchen. Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Will we see you later?" He asked and stuffed his hands into his pockets.

"Maybe," Sarah shrugged and walked over to the door.

"Well," Ethan stuttered and Sarah looked back at him. "Thanks for the ride," he said quietly.

"Don't mention it," Sarah smiled. "Bye."

"Bye," Ethan smiled back and she left, closing the door behind her. Ethan sighed and walked back to the kitchen. "So," he said while he walked in. "Where's Reyna?"

"In Benny's room," Grandma smiled while she stirred something on the stove.

"You put her in my room?" Benny whined.

"She's not alone," Grandma said. "Rory's with her."

"I'll be back," Benny mumbled and ran out of the kitchen. Ethan listened while he thundered up the stairs.

"Ethan, I need to ask you something." Grandma turned away from the stove and looked at Ethan.

"Sure," he said and slid into a stool by the high-top counter.

"Did you have a vision before Reyna passed out?" Grandma asked calmly and wiped her hands on a towel.

"Uh, yeah," Ethan stuttered. "How'd you know?"

"Honey," she started. "You know Reyna's a telepath, right?" Ethan nodded. "Well, when you have a vision, regardless if you're touching her or not, she gets pulled into it with you."

"How," he asked, scooting to the edge of the stool.

"Sweetie," Grandma smiled. "She can connect with your mind and when your mind is focused on a vision, so is hers."

"Why can't she switch to someone else's mind?" Ethan propped his elbows on the counter and held his head up with his right hand.

"Her telepathy doesn't work that way," Grandma sighed. "She can't control whose thoughts she'll hear and when she'll hear them. Her mind finds the strongest thought and focuses in on it. Your visions just happen to be the strongest."

"Okay," Ethan nodded his head slowly. "But, why does she pass out when they're over?" He asked and dropped his hand, picking up his head.

"When Reyna goes into your visions," Grandma sighed. "She has them and the thoughts of others in her head." Ethan started to say something but she cut him off. "And," she said and Ethan closed his mouth. "Her mind isn't able to handle all of that at one time, so it sort of temporarily shuts down then restarts." Ethan eyes grew wide.

"Wait, do you mean I'm…"

"Unfortunately yes, honey," Grandma sighed and turned back to the stove. "Every time she absorbs one of your visions, her life is at risk."

"But she wakes up each time," he said hopefully.

"For now," Grandma said while she stirred.

"Well, is there any way to stop it?" He asked, worried. "You know, besides getting far enough away from her so she can't hear my thoughts."

"There is," Grandma smiled. "But, it will only work as long as you don't touch her."

"Fine with me," Ethan nodded then stopped and knit his eyebrows together. "What is it?"

"I'll show you once she wakes up. Until then, would you be a dear and help me make this broth for her?" Grandma turned away from the pot in front of her and looked at Ethan.

"Uh sure," he smiled. "What's in it?" He slid off his stool and walked over to her.

"Spinach, pickle juice, cocoa bean, carrot root, beetle wings, fish eyes, and stomach acid from a bull frog," she smiled warmly at him and held up a spoonful. "Taste." Ethan's eyes grew wide and he attempted to smile at her.

"Sure," he said once he managed a smile, or close to one at least. She held the spoon to his lips and he closed his eyes and opened his mouth. She dumped the broth in and he felt his gag reflex trigger but he gulped it back and forced a smile. "Yum!" Grandma smiled back and turned away. While she wasn't looking he ran into the bathroom around the corner and shut the door before bending over the open toilet and empty the contents of his stomach.

Yuck! He thought once he was done. It's even worse the second time! Ethan flushed down what was left of the broth, went over to the sink, and washed off his face.

Gross! Ethan smiled as Reyna's voice filled his head. There is no way on Earth she is ever going to make me eat that!

Good luck. He smirked, turned off the water, and wiped his face on a towel. She seemed really happy and regardless of the taste, you know it's gonna help you. In fact, since I ate it, I've been able to think more clearly.

Yeah, I've notice, and I know but you really hated it. Reyna's voice whined. Ethan chuckled and looked into the mirror.

By the way, welcome back. He smiled

Thanks, but I haven't woken up yet. Ethan knit his eyebrows together.

Why?

Because, I don't want to wake up to Benny and Rory! Ethan laughed. Could you stop looking at your reflection you weirdo and just get your butt up here! I'm tired of being unconscious. Ethan rolled his eyes.

Fine, but you owe me for tasting that broth!

Whatever, just hurry up! Ethan smiled and left the bathroom.

"I'm gonna go check on Reyna," he said as he walked through the kitchen.

"Alright lover boy," Grandma smiled. "Yell when she wakes up." Ethan left the kitchen and headed for the stairs.

I can't believe Grandma thinks you like me! You'd think she'd have realized by now that it's Sarah you're crushing on. Reyna's voice came back into his head while he ran up the steps.

I know! Where did she get that idea? Ethan hit the second floor and turned, heading for a room he knew all too well. Wait, you know about that?

I don't have to be a telepath to know that you have a major crush on her. Ethan cheeks flushed. Are you almost here? Benny's yelling at Rory for wanting to kiss me to wake me up. Ethan laughed; he could hear their voices from down the hallway.

Yeah, I'm opening the door right now. He grabbed the knob, turned it, and pushed the door open.

"I don't care how much you love her! You're not kissing my cousin while I'm here!" Benny, who was sitting at his desk, yelled at Rory, who was standing on Reyna's right. Rory narrowed his eyes and hissed as his mouth opened to reveal his fangs.

I see what you mean. "Hey guys," Ethan said, and they both looked at him. "What's up?"

Benny and Rory turned back to each other and glared.

That's been going on for five whole minutes. Reyna groaned inside Ethan's head.

I'm sorry. He sighed and walked over to the bed. Reyna lay under Benny's dark green comforter. Her head nestled among his Darth Vader and Yoda pillows. You can wake up now. He sighed and a second later, Reyna's head turned so she was facing him. He smiled as her eyes slowly peaked open.

"Hi," she whispered and her lips formed a small smile.

"Hi," Ethan whispered back.
