* The night drew to an end and Mamere stood. * Wait-- * I reached for her hand. * Please dont leave yet. I've missed you so much. * Xavier took my hand instead. * We gon to bed, cher. * He nodded and Mamere slipped from the room. I watched as she continued down a long hall and we stopped at the stairs. * I would like to spend more time with my grandmother. * He stopped on the stairs. * You gon get up deez stairs. * I followed him, unable to to stop myself. I hadn't seen Severina since she'd been dismissed after supper. Xavier held the bedroom door open and I slipped by him. His hand settled on my lower back and he tugged me closer. * Da queen is gon help ol' Xavier. And I can't wait. * He breathed me in, his nose trailing along my neck. I felt nothing. My eyes fluttered closed despite my lack of desire. He released me, closing the door. I stepped out of my heels and moved forward, removing the earrings. I slid the dress off of my shoulders, letting it pool at my feet. I stepped out of it, pulling pins from my hair. I slid a short robe on and moved to the bed. Xavier was there, his eyes glowing yellow, his pupils becoming almost nothing as they became slits. His fingers trailed up my arms as his eyes focused on my breasts. * Dat roogaroo is one lucky bastard...having sunk his teeth into you first. * His voice was rough with anger. He cupped my chin. * I'm just wantin a taste. * My arms felt heavy, my legs glued to the very spot I stood. * You were mine, Sadie. * His fingertips trailed along my shoulder where he had once branded me. * You have no idea, cher, what I have planned for us. * His slid against me. * A mating rash aint nothin' but a thang. * His hand closed on my neck and he tugged me within a breath of his lips. * Put your arms around me. * My hands slid around his waist of their own volition. His skin felt cool to the touch. My bare breasts pressed into his chest and he made an odd sound in his chest. His eyes locked onto my own as his lips pressed against mine. * Open. * He demanded and I did, his tongue sweeping inside of my mouth. It was as if my body was separate from my mind; my actions. He kissed me hard, and I felt nothing. His pelvis tilted against mine and the erection his pants barely contained pressed against my lower belly. His hand slid along my belly, and down to my panties. His fingers slipped inside and before I could react, a spark ignited and shot us apart. I shrieked in pain as I flew back threw the air, landing hard on the bed and bouncing twice. Xavier landed on the wardrobe, breaking it. * Gawddamnit. * He hissed, standing up angrily. Stunned, I didn't move. * Dis means war, sisters. Fucking. War.

* Images whipped through my mind; a witch doctor, his eyes red in the darkness as he chanted. Flashing lights made it difficult to focus on any one thought. A woman appeared, her countenance delicate, yet painted in traditional voodoo face paint. Her hair was wrapped in a turban and she held a candle, chanting her own spell. I jerked on the bed, shaking my head, and sobbing out in pain. My mind felt as if it were being ripped in two. I gasped as I writhed, my skin flushed and hot. The chanting grew louder, and more forceful. The red eyes in the ghost white face was horrifying, his teeth flashing as his hand movements controlled my body. I bowed off of the bed. * You stop now, Madelina! I'll snap her in half right now...or pickle her brain for eternity. * The candle burned brighter. * Josiah, stop this nonsense! We are family. Not enemies. Release the girl and we can turn an eye...harm her and I will come unto thee without mercy! * I sobbed harder, unable to speak. Mameres face was in front of me, and I watched in horror as she morphed into a woman I'd never seen; her nails long and pointed, filthy and green. The two forces were battling and I was the prize. My panther growled and swirled above me. I hadn't seen her in years. * Give the girl back! * The woman snapped. * No. * Came the snarled reply. Everything reached a crescendo and light exploded behind my eyes before I fell into darkness. *
