The place

2) Curiosity

^^^ EROS
Esthers POV

I started to regain consciousness but my eyes wouldn't open and I was paralyzed but I could hear. At first the voices sounded muffled and then I heard:

"It's way too dangerous here for her, she has to go back" a man's voice.

"Well she's here already and I'm guessing she's going to want an answer, how about we prepare for that." a woman's voice replied.

When I finally opened my eyes the room was empty. So I got out of the bed and walked out of the room calmly. The house was big but not hard to find the door. Sadly I was going to go for the door but I went to the kitchen and there was the man from the coffee shop and a middle aged woman.

"Good morning people who kidnap me, did you perhaps grab my stuff in the process of kidnapping?" I said so confidently. They stayed silent.

"Well when your voice box starts to work again let me know until then I'm out" I said walking toward the door. When I opened it, the man rushed over to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Where are you going??" The man said

"Away" I said

"All of your stuff is here"

"Really where can I find it?" I said thinking he was going to give it to me but instead he just moved closer to me. The closer he was the more I wanted him. He reached down at my waist and tired to pull me closer but I moved further away from him.

"Why do I feel like this?" I said putting my head down not understanding why I was so drawn to him.

"Don't ever pull away from me" he said, moving further away from me. I felt his dominance wash over me, the intensity was too much.

"I do what I want but thanks for the suggestion" I said trying to show that I had a little control but I know I don't.

"So is someone going to give me some answers??" I said but I got no response.

"Why the fuck did you people kidnap me?" I yelled.

"First off, watch your tone." He came closer, and my body began to get weak.

"Second, I just saved your life, I did not kidnap you" he actually sounded like he was truly offended, when I implied he kidnapped. His came closer again and this intense lust flooded my body.

"Please stop, whatever your doing to my body just please stop" I crossed my legs until the feeling subsided. He backed up and the feeling went away.

The older woman moved close to me.

"My name is Prim and this is my nephew Eros," she said so calmly.

"Eros? As in the Greek god of love?" I asked hoping he wasn't a god.

"Exactly like the god" he confidently replied.

"Your my Bestfriend's granddaughter, you were taking from here by your mom. Your mom ran away after your grandmother died...She was pregnant...by the same person that wanted to kill her" she kept pausing as if she didn't want me to know.

"Ok Great but with all do respect, that information doesn't make me trust you" I was very candid with what I said. 

"You can leave, go right ahead but just know that the moment you step into the city you power will sound off to every hunter in the country and your father will find you." she warned

"Power? What power? Who is my father?" I asked.

"A powerful witch Named Brandon, He was named after the spirit he worships...Baron Samedi the Loa of death"

"She doesn't know that she is part witch" Eros said

"Your mother never mentioned your fathers or her powers, she never taught you witchcraft" Eros was so curious.

"No, she never talked about her past" I looked down, talking about my mother brought memories that I'm just not ready to face yet.

"Look, all you need to know is that this is the safest place for you right now?" Prim stated before walking away, leaving me with Eros.

Eros POV

When Prim left the kitchen, I watched Esther shift uncomfortably in her seat. She played with the ring on her right hand.

"Are you hungry?" I asked not to try to sound strict but couldn't help it.

"Yeah" She didn't even make eye contact with me. She just kept her head down.

"Look" I hesitated "I'm sorry for losing control earlier" She looked up at me but I quickly looked away. Esther's presents make my power get out of control. For example, earlier she was flooded with lust because I accidentally projected my feelings onto her.

"Please don't do that again, it felt like..." she looked up at me and just went quiet.

"Say it" her eyes shot up at mine.

"It felt...never mind "

"I don't know why your scared"

"I've never felt anything that intense before, there I said that are you happy" she said with an attitude.

"Watch your attitude" She glared at me and I smirked at her. 

Her brown skin. Her brown eyes. Her short curly hair. Her curves. All of her attributes were intoxicating. We both just silently stared at each other. She broke the gaze first by looking back down at her ring.

"how am I powerful?" she said looking in my eyes again.

"There are four elements to magic Earth, air, fire, and water, your father draws his power from fire and air and your mother was a celestial.You inherited all of your mother's powers plus your fathers." I explained

"Do you know my father?" She looked up at me with glossy eyes.

"No I just knew of him, your family is deeply rooted" I want to hold her and make her feel safe but I don't know if that's what she wants.

"Wait, a celestial is an outer space being, So your telling me that my mother is an alien?" I laughed at her question and the fact that she was so serious when she said it.

"No your mother was born here but she is a direct descendant of one the most powerful Orishas"

"Orisha?" She was so curious.

"An Orisha is a deity that reflects one of the manifestations of the Supreme Divinity in Yoruba religion." I informed her.

"How many Are there?"

"A lot but there are 7 main ones and you mother is a descendant of the most powerful....Sango" I could tell that she was disposing of all the information i was giving here.

"That's enough questions for today" I put a plate of food in front of her. I watched her eat but then looked away because I didn't want to seem like some type of creep.
