Ch 11
Kerrie sat at the table with her things and shuffled her tarot deck. She pulled out three cards and shook her head laughing.
"We'll see then." Kerrie put the cards back in the deck and walked towards Eric's office. Pam opened the door and walked out. Kerrie walked in, Eric's back was to her and there was a hole in the wall.
"How dare you-"
"No, your not going to tell me off. I came down here to help and I refuse to let you try to boss me around like I'm one of your subjects." Kerrie said with her arms crossed.
"You were going to use magick-"
"I wasn't going to use it on you for gods sake. I thought it was the easiest way to get you to stop." There was silence as Kerrie took a seat and Eric finally turned to look at her. His fangs were still out.
"I don't know why you still do this to me." He mumbled.
"Eric, I'm going to meet her with Sam. If you can't control your self
then you should stay here."
"Here we go." He said rolled his eyes. Kerrie put the tarot deck on his
desk.
"If I pull a bad card you stay."
"Fine." Kerrie shuffled the deck then out it back on the table. "You draw first." Eric pulled a card and got the Ace of Wands. Kerrie pulled a card and got the Five of Pentacles.
"You stay, this says current problems. Your card is the future, I guess you will win her over then." Kerrie said with a forced smile. Eric looked at the card.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, this is positive outcomes in love and sexuality."
"What about you?"
"I know what my cards say and that's enough."
"That's not fair, you get to know everyone's business but we're in the
dark."
"I'll let you know some other time." Kerrie took the cards and went to the table since the doors would be opening soon. Pam came out of a side room dressed in her black dress.
"Why is he so cheery?"
"Gave him some good news." Pam handed Kerrie back the book. "Keep it, I have tons at home and at my store."
"Maybe you could show me a spell sometime. That fire thing was amazing."
"Sure, I'll be around Bon Temps tomorrow then I'm heading back to Boston."
"Should I bring what this says?"
"Yea, most of the things are easy enough to find." Kerrie grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down a few things. "If your serious about doing magick then you'll need these things for an altar."
"Can we even do magick?" Pam asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it takes some work but it can be done. The King of Massachusetts son is a practicing witch. I worked with him for a few years on controlling his powers. He's as good as a natural witch." Pam nodded and went to put the book with her things before going to open the door.
Eric finally came out of his office nearly 2 hours after the doors opened. Kerrie had a line of people waiting for readings since the door opened. Everyone who got up from the table took a card and asked when she'd be doing readings again.
Of course every so often Eric would text her with a comment about the person she was working with. 'What's her future? A hair transplant?'
After several similar texts Kerrie had to put her phone on silent and put it in her bag.
After nearly 4 hours of readings Eric made his way over to the lengthy line.
"Kerrie, will be taking a break for about 15 minutes. Keep your place in line." Eric extended his hand and escorted Kerrie back to his office.
Once he closed the door he backed her up against it.
"I thought a quickie would be nice." He said with a smirk.
"Did I say we were going to do this again?"
"You said maybe." Eric said grabbing the bottom of her shirt and pulling it over her head.
"Eric, I have a line of people and-"
"Who cares what they think?" He said leaning in and kissing her.
"Fuck it." Kerrie mumbled unbuttoning Eric's shirt.
"I love it when you get frisky." He said kissing her neck.
"If you bite me you better heal it up after."
"Fine."
