Voodoo Queens of New Orleans
After a few moments, I knew why the Elders had parted.
A man—one whose face was darkened by the night—turned the corner into the alley and took long, agonizingly slow steps towards me. My lungs were dying slowly from anticipation; I just knew that he was the one to kill me.
"Go on and tell Abraham we got her," the mysterious man said. His voice was deep and smooth like melted butter; like he was born and groomed in the deepest bayou at the edge of The Boot. And at his command, the Elders were gone. Poof. Erased from the wretched alleyway. It was only him and me, and I still wondered if it would be a good idea to make a run for it; if he would either tackle me or kill me if I ran away.
