The Sensual Serpent
Chapter 3
When she returned to her hotel for the night, she decided to find out as much as she could about the ancient temple. A strange obsession with the mountain temple came over her from nowhere. While visiting the ancient monuments and cities, she asked the local historians about the history of these places. They didn't know very much about the land because most of it was built before recorded time. The historians confirmed that the buildings were built before Christ. Soon, she became discouraged about finding useful information about the temple. This had to be a bad place for it to be pretty much forgotten throughout history.
She drove her Ferarri for a while until she came to a village. She boldly asked the people in the near by cities about the occult until she found someone who was willing to help her. A dark haired, young Wiccan woman named Gemma offered to help her; only if she paid her. Gemma climbed into the two-seater and instructed her to drive to the outskirts of the city, into the dark woods.
When they arrived, she introduced Vashite to an creepy old witch named Maud. Ms. Maud lived alone in a brown, modest hut with a sagging roof that looked like it was made from grass. Vashite curiously glanced around the hut at Maud's belongings. There were different types of roots and herbs drying along the walls and bottles and jars filled with mysterious substances. She told her of her curiosity of the ancient temple and time travel.
As Vashite examined and picked up one of the strange, colorful bottles, Maud spoke up with a quivering, ancient voice, "Don't touch that! You don't know what entities you could release should you break one of those!"
Vashite carefully sat the bottle back in it's place before muttering "I'm sorry miss."
Maud sat down, gritted her teeth and spit brown, slimy, tobacco juice in a tin can "I think I may have what you seek, BUT there is a hefty price. I cannot promise it will work."
Vishite sat down, crossed her legs, and replied haughtily, "Of course, I have money. That won't be a problem."
Maud was beginning to dislike this girl. But because she had money to make, she disregarded her arrogance. She unlocked a chest by her bed and retrieved an old magic book that had been passed down for generations in her family. The book contained a ancient time travel spell that no one had attempted before. The ritual for the spell required a ancient relic from whatever time period the person wanted to travel to.
Vashite hired a crew of archeologists to dig and find whatever they could. They found several items at the site, including a gold choker with a strange symbol. When she gathered everything she needed for the ritual, she paid the old woman for the spell. Maud then gave her specific instructions on how to return home if the ritual were successful.
When the moon was full, they performed the ritual. Vashite made sure to dress her best in case it were successful. She wore a sexy, blue and black leopard print spandex cat suit that dipped low in the back and gold chains draped across. She wore large gold bangles and bamboo hoop earrings, and six inch Louboutin heels. She made sure to bring plenty of loose diamonds and gold as currency in her Hermes bag.
After the ritual was complete, nothing happened. She had never been more disappointed in her life. Fuck this! I'm going home tomorrow! This was a complete waste of time! I can't believe that I was so foolish to believe something like this would work. What the hell was I thinking!?
