Chapter 32~ Crossroads

''Rayan you-you-you got to...you got to believe me! She's done somethin' to her! Somethin' nasty I know it!'', I stammered finding myself staring at his tall back.

He watched the morgue men haul Stella's unrecognizable body that had been hanging from the tree with a finger pinching his chin. He hadn't said a word since everyone raced outside to see what had happened to Stella. It was if it took Stella's death to shake him up some more, even more than he already was.

''Rayan?'', I walked cautiously closer.

He didn't budge.

''Rayan did you hear m-''

He suddenly grabbed a strong hold of my shoulders as I stayed glued to his eyes. It was now that I could see the bloodshot red shade in his eyes, and the wrinkling at his forehead. It was it if something was definitely eating him up.

''I-heard-you. I heard you the first time...'', he said shakily getting a better grip on my shoulders that were slipping. His hands slowly slid down from my shoulders until they cuffed the middles of my arms.

He sighed, peering at the ground, and avoiding my eyes for a moment to re-cooperate. I heard a loud sniff erupted from him.

''I don't need this right now Y/N. My father just passed away and-''

''Rayan no! Just listen to me. Things are not as they seem now and you've got to listen to me please! I know she did it, she was the one who made Stella kill herself. Mrs. Fulton overheard Stella telling me that I needed to protect myself, so she put some kind of hoodoo on her and forced her to hang herself!'', I cried grabbing at his forearms.

''Y/N what the hell are you saying? My mother wouldn't-''

''She did it! I know she did! I went to see Papa Doc and he put a shadow over me. He said someone had put an evil over me and that that person wants to harm me. He gave me some magical protection like Stella told me he would and-''

Rayan glared at me like a crazed woman with his eyes squinted.

''Are you out of your damn mind? You went to see a conjuring man?'', he asked with his voice slightly raised.

''Rayan that isn't the point. He tied a blood rope on my finger and I felt the damn prick. I saw her eyes. Papa Doc said someone wants to do me in and she does don't you get it? She killed Stella as a warning to me. She knew that she was trying to help me. She knows that I'm up to something!''

He shook his head slightly in denial, looking down at the ground again. I watched a single tear drip from one of his eyes.

''Y/N. As it is now we are all in danger alright? You seeing all those men in there?'', he pointed past me, I don't know half of them.''

''I kno-''

''No you don't, listen. As it is now I don't know who to trust. My father passing, my mother being accused of some sort of witchcraft and possible murder, and now the people around me mysteriously dying? Y/N I have no help here. No direction. And now everyone is turning to me because I am the only son of my father. Do you have any idea what I'm dealing with?'', he asked pleadingly. 

I forced myself gently out of his arms as they fell at his sides. I took a deep breath before beginning again.

''Rayan I don't want you to think that I would hide anything from you. Whatever is in that letter I'm sure has nothing to do with his will. You know he was very close with my mother so I'm sure it was just something he wanted me to have. But I am telling you, someone wants me dead and that prick just proved it.'', I said simply.
