The Devils Son: Afterlife

20. Flea Market

We rip across the clear water passing small islands everywhere as we head for the mainland which is just a bigger island while my hair starts to get thrown in every direction.

  I look back into the boat and across at Levi as he looks out at the islands and water. I take my chance to stare at his sharply defined jawline which is just freshly shaved. His dark hair whips around in the wind as-well, obviously nothing like the mess mine has become. His eyes I've noticed are a soft browny red usually but I've come to find when he's mad his eyes turn into a dark red, almost black. I look down at the veins on his wrists as they glow the faintest red, it's interesting that his veins glow like that, I've never seen anyone else have that, it must be a hybrid trait.

  When I look back up at his face he's now turned his head and is facing me aswell. My immediate instinct was to dart my eyes away but something about his gaze locks me in and I find myself just staring back completely still, I feel like a statue.

We continue this stare for far too long when he suddenly breaks it and lowers his eyes down slightly to my lips.

Something about the way he continues to stare at my lips causes me to now look down at his lips. It's like this man was created in a lab, his features couldn't be any more perfect.

A moment later I feel something lightly touch my finger and when I look down his hand is beside mine as his one finger touches the side of mine as he rests his arms on his lap. I find myself completely frozen, I can feel my breathing stop for a moment. I look back up at him and he's staring directly at me.

Suddenly the man driving the boat yells something over the loud wind in French and Levi moves his hand quickly and I immediately drop my eyes, breaking contact.

I listen as Levi yells something back and the man nods. I look out behind Levi and see we are coming up on the island quite quick now.

"What did he say?" Luke yells back but Levi doesn't respond instead just watches the water by the side of the boat.

"What did he say?" I ask after Levi waited long enough to make it obvious he had no intention on responding to Luke, he never does.

"We're here" he says as the boat comes to crawl before coming up on the beach in front of a small village. Levi is the first one out of the boat as he helps pull the boat up onto the beach before coming around and paying the man. Me and Luke exit the boat and follow Levi as we walk up the beach onto the road into what appears to be a flea market?

We slip past people walking and begin going deeper through the market before Levi starts to fall behind me and watches as I start to look around at some of the random booths.

Luke stood around and followed aimlessly as he looked around at all the young women walking around. This place clearly doesn't interest him, I'm not surprised.

An old lady starts saying something to me in French as we pass by what appears to be a crystals booth. I stop and listen to her as she points to random things but I can't understand her.

"What is she saying?" I ask looking up at Levi

"She wants to sell you a crystal pendant"

I watch as the lady holds up a clear one and opens the top and point at it while saying things I can't understand

"What is she saying now?" I ask Levi again

"She said she will sell you it cheap" Levi says and I nod.

  "Do you want one?" He asks watching me as I look at the one red crystal.

  "Sure" I say smiling and I watch as he grabs something out of his pocket, I though it would be money but instead it's the necklace from before, The one he wanted me to wear? I look over at the crystals on the table and they are exactly the same? He got it from here? We've been here before?! I reach out and grab the necklace and hold it in my hand examining it.

  "Here" he says grabbing it and putting it around my neck.

  I look down at it as it falls onto my chest. This is really strange.

  The French woman starts to now get louder as she yells at Levi, probably for robbing her sale. Levi than pushes through more people as we continue looking at new random booths.

  Levi suddenly stops at a random almost empty booth with an older man behind it. I watch as Levi's grin grows before he moves closer to the stands and says something to the man.

  "Who is he" I ask trying to look at the sign but It's pointless I can't read it.

  "He's a fortune teller, he says he can sell your soul to the devil for good fortune" Levi grins. "His sign says he can feel your aura for demons" he laughs.

   I watch as Levi says something else to the man before he stands up and comes around to Levi. He says something and Levi closes his eyes as the man began to hover his hand over Levi's arms and chest.

  Almost a minute later he stops and moves to me, what the hell?? He starts to wave his arms around all over me as Levi grins so hard, I've never seen him this entertained.

  The man than stops and goes back around his booth before sitting down and saying something to Levi. I watch as Levi reaches into his pocket and pays a the man something and the man begins talking for a while before pointing at me and saying something. A few minutes pass before Levi wraps it up and we start walking again.

  "What did he say?" I ask almost immediately

  "He said I have a guardian angel following me" he smiles

  "And what about me?" I ask wanted answers for what just happened

   "He says you have a demonic energy following you" he grins. Did he really? If so he's honestly not wrong. "He told me to watch you closely" Levi smirks.

  "Maybe we should get a Ouija board and we can contact these spirits" I say grinning and he shakes his head in amusement

  "They don't work with me around" he says as we walk through more rows of booths

  "What do you mean?" I ask looking up at him

  "I mean, They don't work with me around. We've tried it before but the board just spells out what ever I'm thinking, it's like I'm connected to it"

  "You must be paranormal" I smile and he grins again while shaking his head.
