Bianca shuffles clumsily through the crowd as her life runs out of her. She can feel the cold creeping up on her. She feels the Crow sway even as she herself sways on her feet. She brushes by milling people in the yard. As she passes through one group of people, she sways with a vision after touching one of them.

<<< "Erica, please…you have to sleep.." Kendall urges trying to get her mother to go from the funeral home.

"Leave me be, Kendall! She isn’t gone! She can’t be gone!" Erica pushes Kendall away.

"Mom, please…let me help you…I loved her, too…I love you." Kendall pleads.

"I…I can’t…Bianca was more forgiving than I…she was my…everything."  Erica sobs falling into Kendall’s arms briefly before standing and running from the funeral home.

"Binks, what do I do? She won’t survive this I don’t think…she won’t let me love her." Kendall cries onto her coffin. >>>

Bianca realizes she has bumped into the woman who was her mother. Her strength rapidly fading she feels another tear slide down her cheek. She knows Erica is staring at the form beside her. It is too dark for her to really see her, but Bianca fights the urge to hug her. Instead, she leans in close and smells her mother’s familiar scent. She sees Kendall next to Erica trying to help without being noticed.

"Mother is the name for God on the lips of all children…let her love you mother…she’s worth loving…she’s worthy of your name." She sees the shock on her mother’s face, but can’t tell if Erica really sees her, "I have to go now…my time is done…love is all there is mother." She nudges Erica into Kendall and hurries as fast as she can.

Kendall catches Erica before she can stumble to the ground. She looks at her mother and sees the tears in her eyes. She hugs her mother close to her in a protective manner.

"K-kendall…it was Bianca…it couldn’t have been." Erica whispers.

"What did she say?" Kendall trembles.

"Mother is..the name for God on the lips of all children…" Erica chokes out, "She told me you are worthy of my name and my love."

"I want to be." Kendall holds her mother in an embrace and Erica slowly hugs her back.
