Fear and dismay swirled through Alicia's head as she experienced this.
The ancient tradition of voodoo, which she had previously only read about in myths and folktales, now loomed over her own life.
A chill ran down her spine as she realized that she might experience a fate similar to those sad souls she had read about.
She had read up on voodoo curses and how people could be tortured and controlled without ever coming into contact with each other. Alicia felt a deep sense of fear at the very prospect of becoming entangled in such an evil web.
She felt a spark of defiance within her. Alicia was resolved to find a method to escape the voodoo's impending shadow because she would not accept her lot as a helpless victim. She had yet to discover a lot about whatever this witch was spouting about. They seemed so unbelievable, yet learning about them won't cause her pain. But first of all, she had to find a way to get away from her clutches.
