A Hood Tale of Romero and Jalicia

October 31st

"Happy birthday Romero and Jalicia"

I got word from my little runner that Murk Mafia and the Emeralds were going bat shit crazy looking for Jalicia and I. The only person that knew where I lived was Rico and that nigga was dead so shit that nobody knew where the fuck I was at. Jalicia told me all about that shit meeting with her great great great grandmother so we were on the way there. Looking over at Jalicia she looked beautiful while she slept and I shook her softly when we pulled up to her grandma's place.

This short dark skin lady walked out onto the porch and welcomed us with open arms.

"Jalicia meh child meh glad yu came an visit meh." She said in her thick accent giving Jalicia a kiss on both cheeks and then she did the same thing to me.

"Meh alreedeh no whet yu came here fuh meh child. Yu an him jus sit down an relax.

We sat down at this circular table that was piled with a couple of books. I quickly glanced over each title and when I was done looking a nigga realized that each book was filled with either potions or spells. That was something that was true about witches.

"Are both of yu redy?" she asked slowly. Jalicia and I both nodded making sure that we followed the instructions so we didn't fuck the spell up.

"Both of yu repeat afta me and make sure that your hands are joined." Again we nodded our heads.

"In no way shall this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse, so mote it be." She said clear as day.

"In no way shall this spell reverse, or place upon me any curse, so mote it be." We said in unison.

After each line she said we repeated her.

"Forces of love, hear me out

Allow this spell to come true with no doubt.

Let nothing and no one stand in the way

As my mind is made, my heart is set, this spell I shall say."

We meditated for 10 minutes to make sure that we really wanted to go through with this spell. After confirming that we both wanted to go through with it we continued.

Taking out a piece of white chalk we took all of the books off of the table and drew a pentagram on the table. This was the same symbol that was tatted on the side of Jalicia's body under the right side of her boob. We took 10 white candles out and placed each one of them around the pentagram and then we lit each one. We took a nail and carved a heart around the wicks of each candle. In the center of the pentagram we drew a smaller pentagram and then put a piece of silk cloth over it.

Shit. We weren't even halfway done and a nigga was already tired of doing this witchcraft shit. I thought to myself.

Pulling out more candles out of thin fucking air we placed two pink candles across from each other and lit them. We took some rocks called "love stones" and placed them around the symbol. Bringing some more magic tricks out of the box we placed a rose on the left side of the symbol and then placed a tulip on the right side.

Taking out a sheet a regular ass paper we wrote a "love poem" on it or as I would put it our little saying we always said to each other. Taking tree sap and a picture of us we stuck it to one side of the paper and folded the paper up. Placing it over the fire of the candle we watched it burn and it burned slowly. We passed it over the flames of each candle we lit. We repeated this process two more time before pricking our fingers and letting our blood mix together and drop onto the paper. Letting the paper burn completely we collected the ashes and went outside to let the ashes blow into the wind after repeating another part of the spell.

"Queen Wind of the East, far and fair;

Take these ashes of mine that with you I share,

And blow them to the doorway of Loves great gate,

Clear every past lover and give me a clean slate.

As I will so mote it be."

After that we blew the ashes into the wind we went back inside to the table and sealed the symbol. When then took our dominant hand and traced it seven times on top of the pentagram making sure the candles were still lit. Focusing on the love that was between Jalicia and me we had to recite another damn spell.

"Love of mine,

Infections designed,

To show me affections

And me alone your darling complexion."

We sat in silence gathering up all of the positivity in the room. At this moment I swear this shit should've been under Jalicia's story, but since we were one I'll do this shit this one time.

Taking another piece of paper we drew a target on it and placed some stones in the middle of it. Together we visualized what our lives would be like together for the rest of our lives. I imagined Jalicia carrying each one of my children in her belly and us living in some nice shit. Since our minds were connected at this point she imagined that plus the bomb ass sex we had throughout our life. On the piece of paper we wrote:

"Love burning bright

Mine intends delight,

Now that I have bewitched thee,

Thou wilt love none other and only me.

Thine heart I have caught,

None others shall enter thy thoughts.

Thy heart and mine,

Thine aura and mine,

They are threefold intertwined."

Plucking the rest of the petals of the rose we placed them in the center of the paper and dropped our blood, mixed together, and folded the paper tightly. Placing it over the candle we watched it burn slowly, but didn't let it burn all the way. Both of us them grabbed a pink candle and repeated another spell that connected with this shit.

"This heart is mine

This heart, lover, is thine;

I now intertwine them,

Together forever till time doth dim."

Blowing out our candles we let the rest of the paper burn over one of the candles we still had lit. Meditating I opened one eye seeing that both Jalicia and Madam Zeroni were focused so I focused along with them making sure this shit worked. Turning towards each other we let our energy radiate off of our bodies and let them intertwine really becoming one. Taking the sill cloth that was still in the same spot after all of this shit we done we put all of our love into it and her grandma hit it somewhere for good keeping. Going back out into the wind we said some other shit.

"Queen of Wind

I beseech thee again,

My spell, quite a feat,

Is now complete

Please take these ashes of mine,

And carry them in no straight line.

Take these to Venus, in her love,

Have her fulfill this desire which maketh me move.

I thank thee now, dearest friend,

My request is done, no more of thy time will I spend.

Have her fulfill this desire which maketh me move.

Though the candle doth go out,

This love shall never face doubt.

The single candle that is two,

Burneth ever bright, and ever true."

Sharing a kiss I wasnow looking at my forever. Shit! She was making a nigga soft, but soon enoughnone of that shit would matter because we would be together forever.
