It was a stormy evening. Charles was driving in a small neighborhood, with his

wife Jessie sitten in the passenger seat. They were on the way to Lilly Wilson’s house. Because they had an appointment with her that night.

After a few circled. Finally, they spotted Lilly’s house in a distance. But they were not a hundred percent sure if that is her house. Because it’s very hard for them to see outside the window, with that heavy rain.

Even that. They decided to go to that house and asked if they know where Madam Lilly lived.

So Charles parked his beside the sidewalk and they grabbed their umbrellas on the backseat. They stepped out of the car, cover themselves, and ran on the porch.

Charles rang the doorbell. “Do you think there is someone?” He anxiously asked Jessie.

Jessie said, “I don’t know love.” She looked at the time on her watch, “We are already two hours late. I hope she let us explain ourselves.”

“Huh, me too.” He rang the bell again.

A few minutes after Charles rang the bell. They heard the door unlocks and opened slowly. They saw an old woman, with short grey curly hair, in round glasses and a pink flowers dress on her, glared at them in a half-open door.

“Hello, good evening ma’am.” Charles greeted her, at the same time he was getting closer to the door.

That old woman answered back, with a serious voice, “Good evening, can I help you?”

“We are looking for a woman named Lilly Wilson. Do you know where she lived, please?”

She laughed and said, “Well, I think you are already at her house talking to her.”

“You are Madam Lilly Wilson?” He asked her with an excited voice.

She nodded her head slowly, “Yes, am her, and who are you please?”

“My name is Charles and this is my wife Jessie Jones. We have an appointment with you.”

“Oh, you are the Jones coupled who booked an appointment with me two weeks ago?”

Jessie replied, “Yes ma’am. We are them.”

“Your late” and she gave them a disappointed stare.

Jessie came closer to the door and apologized, “We are very sorry for being so late ma'am. We got lost on the way here, because of that bad weather. Please, forgive us.”

Madam Lilly made a smirked face and rolled her eyes. She stepped backward and opened her door wide. She welcomes them inside, “Ok, come in.” They said thank you and they walked inside.

Madam Lilly told them to put their umbrellas in a bucket behind the door and remove their shoes and put them besides that bucket.

She said, “Wait here, I will right be back.” She left them on a carpet in the foyer area and go upstairs.

Charles and Jessie gazed around. With their eyes and mouth open wide

Jessie whispers slowly, “Wow, that is a creepy house.”

Charles whispers back, “I was going to say the same thing too. Especially those pictures and statues. They are so creepy and scary. Am having goosebumps all over my body.”

Jessie looked at him with a doubtful face and asked, “Do you think it’s a good idea to come here?”

“What made you ask me that, honey?” Charles was very confused.

She said, “I don’t know love. But am having a terrible feeling, that something bad will happen to us if we continued with this process. It makes me feel uneasy and restless.”

Charles held her hand and courage her, “There is nothing for you to get worried or scared love. Because am right here you. Also, nothing bad will happen to us. Just had faith. Remember, she is our only hope.”

“I know love. But I can’t stop myself from not getting the ominous feeling.”

They heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Charles quickly said, “Shhh, madam Lilly coming. She might hear us."

Madam Lilly came into the foyer, with two towels in her hands. She gave one each, to wiped rainwater on them.

After they wiped their selves, they throw those towels in a wooden basket and followed Madam Lilly into the living room. She said, “Please, take a sit.”

Charles and Jessie sat beside each other on a two-seat sofa. Madam Lilly sat on her armchair, crossed her arms and legs. She asked them, “Tell me what is going on and why you want to see me?”

Jessie started to explain to her, with tears in her eyes, “Ever since we get married eighteen years ago. We lived a normal and quiet life together. We are been blessed with so many things in our lives and we are very grateful for it. But one thing we have never been blessed with and until now we are still seeking one. Is our very child.”

She wiped her tears on her cheeks, Charles embraced her and she continued, “We are been trying to get pregnant for many years. We saw numerous doctors and do all sorts of treatments. But sadly, nothing has been worked. So we came to see you, to ask for your help, please.”

“But...who told about me?”

“A friend of mine.”

“What did tell you?”

“Well, she told me that you are the best Sorcery in the world, and she guaranteed me, that you are the only one who can help us.”

“So long you have been trying to get pregnant?”

“For about sixteen years, ma’am.”

“So what do you do for a living?”

“I have my Coffee Shop and he's a Dentist.”

“But what the doctors told you and your husband about the complication you are facing?”

“Well, they all said there is nothing wrong with us. Maybe it’s not the right time. But, you know, am not getting younger, my chances to get pregnant begins to fade away.”

“But if the doctors are not able to help. What made you guys think, that I can?” Madam Lilly was very curious.

Jessie looked at Charles with white eyes, and bend her head slowly.

Charles said, “Many people said that you are the best Sorcery in the world. You helped many people in need and most of them came out successful. So we were thinking, maybe you can help us too.”

They begged her, “Please help us, please. You are the only hope. Please help us.”

Madam Lilly knew very well. That she needed to evoke the Demons, just to grant their wishes. However, the results will never turn out perfect. Because that child will be born cursed and grew up as an evil person. Because of the sacrifices. But when she heard the desperation in their voices and saw the sadness in their eyes. She felt so bad for them, so she agreed to help them."

They were so overjoyed and start to thank Madam Lilly. Because she said yes, she will help them.

Madam Lilly said, “Ok, now we are going to work.” She pointed her finger to a door beside the staircase and said, “Go inside that closet on your right. Remove all your clothes and accessories. Leave everything inside and come back here.”

“Do we need to remove all our clothes on us?” Charles asked her with a shy voice.

Madam Lilly chuckled and shook her head. She said, “No, I don’t want to get flash with your hockey stick. What I meant to say, is both of you remove everything. But stayed only in your underclothes.”

They felt relief when Madam Lilly put it that way. So they got up on the sofa and walked inside the closest.

They removed their clothes and accessories. Jessie put their accessories inside her handbag and hang her bag on a coat stand, with their clothes beside it, and they walked out of the closet.

Madam Lilly asked them “Are you ready?”

They nodded their heads.

She stood up and said, “Ok, good, come with me.”

They followed her to a room on the second floor. She held the door handle and warned them, “Do not touch anything.” She opened the door wide and told them to enter inside.

Their hair stood up on the backs of their necks when they looked around that room. They were surprised to see all those Demons things.

Madam Lilly said with a loud tone of voice, “Do not be afraid. Have faith in me and everything will be ok.”

She made them kneel sitting with their faces turned to each other. She told them to keep their eyes shut, don’t speak, relax, and had faith in her words.

She put on a black robe and tied a red rope around her waist. She lighted up two blacks and put them in the middle of Charles and Jessie, with two teddy bears. One pink and one blue.

She start doing her voodoo things and her procedures go for about three hours.

She sent them to a bathroom on the first floor to clean their selves. Because they were covered in blood chickens and bird feathers.

She brings their clothes and shoes to the bathroom and told them when they are finished, come back to the living room.

After Charles and Jessie cleaned their selves. They go back to the living room.

Madam Lilly gave them a small bottle of medicine and said, “Drink this for two weeks, two times daily. But starting tomorrow morning and you will see your results. You may go home now.”

Jessie took the bottle in hand, wrapped it up in a plastic bag, and put it inside her handbag.

“How much is arrived, please?” Charles asked Madam Lilly.

Madam Lilly thought and said, “15k.”

Charles removed his wallet from his pocket, counts the money in front of Madam Lilly, and gave her.

Madam Lilly said, “Sorry, I don’t take money in my hands. Put inside that gold bowl on the table, please.”

Charles put her money inside that bowl, they thanked Madam Lilly for everything and left her house.

For the whole two weeks. Charles and Jessie did exactly what Madam Lilly instructed them to do and wait for their results.
