Sammy is mine. Everything else isn't. Review.
Samantha sat in her shop, shipping a cup of tea. Just then there was a knock at her door.
"Come in," she said, getting to her feet and readying herself for a costumer. The door opened and in walked Facilier. He looked down at the broom she had placed in the doorway and shook his head, stepping over it effortlessly. Samantha froze and started to tremble.
"Mornin' chere," he said politely, tipping his hat to her.
"What do you want?" Samantha asked. He gave a friendly smile and walked over to her.
"Relax darlin'," he said. "I'm here as a costumer, not as a rival. I want to buy some herbs." Samantha nodded.
"What do you want?" She asked. Facilier chuckled and looked around.
"Some rosemary," he said, "and some lavender." Samantha nodded and went to get the herbs he had asked for. He glanced at the tea kettle. "What kind of tea is that?" He asked Samantha when she came back out with a paper bag.
"Mint and lemongrass," she said hesitantly. She swallowed. "Would you like a cup?" She asked, regretting the words as the left her mouth. Facilier chuckled and walked over to the table, sitting down.
"I suppose," he said. "There ain't no rush." Samantha sat down across from him and poared him a cup, shakily handing it to him. He took it and looked at the drink before taking a sip. He looked at her and smiled. "It's good." He said. Samantha relaxed and poared herself another cup.
"Thank you," she said. Facilier took another sip and looked back at her. Samantha glanced at him and frowned.
"Why did you warn me about Lester?" She asked.
"Because Lester's about as low as someone can get," Facilier said angrilly, "and I would let him have my worst enemy." He took another sip of his tea and got to his feet, grabbing the bag. "I believe I should be goin'. I'm a busy man," He said, giving a slight bow. He walked to the door, once again looking at the broom. "This only works if I want to hurt you, Sammy" he said. Without another word he left. Samantha watched him leave before going back to her tea.
According to Hoodoo or Voodoo superstition, a broom in the doorway keeps someone like Facilier from coming into your place to hurt you.
