Jillian breathed deep through her nose and focused on the young man on the hospital bed beside her. His breathing remained troubled even after the two-hour healing session she’d just performed. Doctors and nurses hovered in the hallway, poking their heads in to check on her progress from time to time. The pleading eyes of his wife on the other side of the bed and the photo of their two children on the bedside table wouldn’t allow her to give up.

She took a few moments to focus on the room, giving her body time to regroup. The remaining session would drain her, but she was so close with Mike that she didn't dare stop now.

He needed her. Someone always did. The next patients on her list would have to hold on another day.

The television was silent but photos of missing children flashed by behind the program host. She secretly wished someone would steal her away. To be free of obligation, guilt and constant fatigue… Jillian sighed.

She again rested her hand on her patient’s cool, clammy arm, reforming the lifeline that linked them together. Jillian summoned the gift within her.

A tingle rose in her chest, building, and then flowing upward into her shoulders. It shot down her left arm and swelled in her hand. There the tingle coalesced until it gathered heat.

Jillian let go of her body, knowing it would sit there in the chair as if she were asleep, waiting for her return.

The heartbeat grew louder, accompanied by the droning of rushing blood.

The sound reminded her of when she was younger, listening to her mother chat with her friends in distant, muffled voices while Jillian and the other children played tag underwater in the neighbor’s pool. Those pleasant, lazy days were long gone.

She spread herself through the body, seeking out the black shadows of illness and burning them away with her heat. With all sign of the shadows vanquished elsewhere, she focused on the stubborn ones in the body’s lungs.

She knew she was making progress because the body now insisted that its name was Mike. He hadn’t been aware enough the last few times to put up an internal fight. Now he attempted to push her away.

She pressed her thoughts on his defensive force. “I’m trying to help.”

Sometimes bodies were receptive to her presence, talking with her and allowing her control of their muscles and functions when she needed it. But most men didn’t seem to like her female presence. Perhaps it was too foreign to them.

Mike fought, using his precious energy to oppose her rather than rest. Muscles bunched up, squeezing and shifting, escaping her calming control and dividing her focus.
