Tia Dalma heard her door creak as it was opened by a hooded figure. As soon as he entered the lighting and thunder stopped. He stepped in and looked around. Tia came out of her back room to see a tall dark hooded figure standing in her small room. He slowly removed his hood, as Tia saw his face she felt as if the breath had been taking from her. She did not fear much but she knew if he was here there was major evil close by.

"Abrafro, I what bring ye to me humble abode?"

"It is time Tia, that you begin to repay her."

"What is it da she wants now?"

"De boy, Turner, his touch of destiny, she wants it and she wants it now."

"De boy is not 'ere, 'es no concern of mine now."

"Mami Uati is now making it a concern of yours now Tia and you can not refuse her. She is the beginning, the all powerful and if she wants you dead, you will die now."

Tia knew Mami Uati could have anything she wanted and she could have it at any time. Tia only knew a few things in comparison to her. Anyone who had learned anything from her owed her – forever. Her short time in her presence had taught her much but had also left her in her service until such time as Mami Uati saw fit.

Abrafro handed a short note to Tia. She looked at it carefully and then slowly raised her head. "You want me to make dis? Why 'ave me make it?"

"I do not question 'er, she said make it. I strongly suggest dat ye do, quickly." Abrafro said with an evil smile on his face.

Tia looked at him and nodded in compliance. She walked around gathering the necessary ingredients. She went to work mixing her potion carefully.

"Let me remind ye, my dear Tia, dat if this fails or should ye prepare it wrong, it'll be da last thing ye ever make."

"Don't need no reminding. I know 'er power. Now, ye don't need to be distrubin' me now."

Once all the ingredients that been carefully & precisely mixed, she closed her eyes and performed an incantation over the mix. There was a small explosion and Tia announced the potion was now ready. She put it in a small vile and handed it to Abrafro. He put it on his person.

"Ye be done wit me. Leave." Tia commanded.

"I'm not done."

"I've done what ye asked what now?"

"Ye will write a note."

Tia looked up at him puzzled. Abrafro handed her special paper and ink. He pointed to her table, where she sat down. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. She looked up at him with shock then looked at the paper. He pointed to her to write. She started writing as he watched over her every letter. When she was finished, he performed an incantation and all of the words disappeared.

"Thank ye for ye 'elp." Abrafro wicked smiled. "It won't be long before ye friends come asking for 'elp." He started laughing as he put his hood on and walked towards the door.

"Remember Tia, Mami Uati ownes you and she will collect ye life IF she needs to. I will be back after me errand. I sure ye will be dying for my return."

Tia knew that she could not help her friends even if she could. The best thing she could give now to help was to wait and await their arrival.
