Billy: Messenger of Powers (76 page)

Billy didn’t know what to say. Who
was
Blythe Forrest, really?

Then again, thought Billy, who am I? Who is anyone?

We are as we do, came the answer in his mind. And it again felt like it was someone else, someone wiser and smarter and stronger than he was, leading him to something beyond himself.

Blythe had rescued him from Cameron Black.

She had been kind to him.

She had treated him as a friend.

“You gonna eat that?” she suddenly asked, pointing at Billy’s almost untouched meal.

Slowly, uncertainly, Billy shook his head.

Blythe reached over with her plastic fork and speared a huge bite of potatoes. She chewed it, and smiled at Billy.

And Billy smiled back.
