The place

(3). The fool

Recap

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 descendent 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.

"Thank you for the food, would it be possible if I could get my stuff so I could shower??" She asked

"It's in the same room we had you in, and sorry about that situation we just didn't know how to handle the situation" I tried to apologize for drugging her.

Esther POV

Do they think I'm stupid, they think that they can just throw facts and myths in my face that I will believe them.  I went back to the room that I was held in and gathered all of my stuff. I had a duffle bag and a book bag. I made sure that I had my gun that I brought. I took all of my stuff In the bathroom and turned the water on like I was already in the shower. I put on a black jack and put the gun in my pocket with my finger already on the trigger in case I got caught. I left the shower running and opened the door to see if anyone was in the hallway. When I made sure I couldn't hear anyone close I bolted for the door.

"Where are you going" Eros stood right next to the door.

"Move" I pointed the gun at him hoping he would just let me go so that I wouldn't have to use it. He lifted off the wall he was leaning on and took two steps closer to me.

"Put the gun down" he said so calmly. I kept the gun pointed at him.

"Did you really think that I would believe anything that you said to me?" he said.

"No, no one ever does" he took a step closer. POW!!! I shot the floor.

"Stop moving closer" he stopped in his tracks. I felt my body begin to get weak. My legs gave out and I fell to the floor.

"What are you doing to me?" I looked into his eyes and they were on fire. Eros' eyes were literally on fire. He took the gun away from me and I let him take it. I couldn't describe the feeling he was projecting on to me. It was pleasure mixed with pain. When the feeling increased in my body, so did the flames in his eyes.

"What a-are y-you" I barely got the words. He didn't answer me.

"Please stop" my body filled with incapacitating lust. The fire in his eyes withered away, and the pleasure subsided. My body felt weak.

"tried that again you're going to have serious consequences" he said right before picking my limp body off the floor. The words "I'm sorry" slipped from my lips right before I passed out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt groggy and tired when I woke up. I was greeted by a very angry Eros standing overtop of my body.

"Get up," he said.

"I don't want to" I swung the covers  over top of my head and buried myself in the pillow and tried to go back to sleep but Eros grabbed my feet and pulled my body off the bed. I fell on the floor and laid there for a minute. 

"Can you just leave me alone?" I said crawling up into a ball on the floor.

"You have two hours to get in the shower and get ready to leave." he said

"Where are we going?" I got up off the floor.

"We are going to Benin, West Africa. We need to hide you, what better place than the origin of voodoo. Go actually get in the shower." he glared at me before leaving me room. I did what I was told and went into the bathroom. When I finished grooming myself. I got dressed and packed up all of my stuff and took it down stairs. 

"How are you feeling after t-the situation" prim chuckled and placed her bags next to mine.

"I'm fine," I said with an attitude.

"Lets go" Eros glared at me.

When we arrived at the airport, our plane was delayed and I was hungry again but I didn't want to ask Eros for anything.

"I'm going to the bathroom," I said but Eros snapped awake and grabbed my arm.

"Don't try anything stupid" he let my arm go and watched me walk away. I Quickly found a bathroom, used it and found some food. I was on my way back to them when a man walked up to me.

"Ms.pierre?" He said my name and I hesitated to answer.

"Sorry you've got the wrong girl" I tried to say convincingly.

"I can feel your power, If you come with me now my men won't hurt your boyfriend and his aunt." He said referring to Eros and Prim.

"Who? I don't have a boyfriend now you need to get out of my way before I make a scene." I said trying to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled out a gun and placed it on my hip.

"Walk" He said and I obeyed. We walked past the place where we were supposed to board the plane, Eros and Prim weren't there. That's when I started to panic.
