Believe me now!

27 Sera is forced to drink the tea.

Sera was given the Ayahuasca to drink once again. Maneulo insisted that she take it. His men would force it down her throat. She accepted the drink. She slowly went into a deep trance.

Manuelo was watching her closely. Sera spoke in Portuguese,"There is a fire storm coming. Beware of the flame, the one who owns the seeker of light, death to any who hurt her."

Her eyes fluttered and Seraphina rubbed her temples. The next message that she heard was for her mind alone.

Sera's eyes twitched, she moved her head side to side. Sera my love, do not take more of the drink of sight, you risk being lost in it's effect. Eat the bread it will help you.

Sera was able to close her mind to the darkness by pushing a circle of light around her. She hummed loudly until her hum became a vibration.

Manuelo backed away from her. Dorinda heard the noise, she came into the room.

She had found Sera's fig necklace and placed it into Sera's hand discretly.

Sera sighed. She was dreaming of Blaze.

He was with her, rubbing her head. She heard him say to her."Don't leave me, stay with me. I have always loved you. Stay with me." She said," Yes I will."

Dorinda heard her talking to someone. She asked her. "Sera, what do you see?"

She said,"Blaze!"

Manuelo pointed at her. "Bruxa, mama said a fire was coming for me."

Sera began to breath hard. Her chest rose and fell dramatically. She moaned and raised her hips up and down.

She was having a vivid s****l dream about Blaze. She was in complete bliss. She panted loudly. Dorinda thought she was with fever. She brought her a cool drink. Sera take some water. Sera licked her dry lips.

" Blaze! So hot." He was touching her intimately and giving her tantric pleasure that kept flowing through her, over and over again. She writhed in pleasure. She remained in the light. She felt things more intensely with the necklace. Her face was flushed.

Manuelo ran out, scared of the way she was acting.

Dorinda place a blanket over her and whispered to her. " I'll be back, try to rest my friend "

It was hard to watch her move and moan. She looked crazed. Her hair was wild around her face. She dreamt that Blaze entered her, he thrust into her over and over. She couldn't stop feeling her body respond, release again and again.

She never made such intense love as this before.

She didn't want it to end. When the wave crested another one rose. She writhed and grabbed the bed. She arched up and squeezed her thighs together.

About two hours later Sera was quiet. The effect of the Ayahuasca had finally waned. She was so tired her body had been locked in the repetitive dream.

Leo had visited Dorinda later that night when he snuck into her home. He asked about Sera. "Tell me please, did he hurt....her?"

He knew Manuelo had a bad reputation for taking many women, using them ruthlessly.

Dorinda had told him that he had given Sera the tea that made her talk to the dead. "She looks like she is losing her mind."

Leo asked her to help him get her out.

Dorinda refused. " I can't, he will kill me. Please don't ask me to do this."

Leo told her. " I will protect you."

"How?" She asked him putting both of her hands out in frustration.

Leo took her hands. "Seraphina is special. I will take you to the united sates. I can give you a better life."

Dorinda would need to contemplate this.

Blaze and Helen....

The night was long, Blaze couldn't sleep worried about his wife. He felt that she needed him. Helen slept well, she snored loudly.

Blaze heard a branch snap. Helen was standing up next to her cot. She had a knife in her hand. Blaze couldn't believe that she woke up so quickly. He nodded to her and pointed to the door.

They heard a man yell as he was hit by a spike when the trip wire was sprung. Helen grabbed her bag and pointed to the wall at the back of the shack. She pushed the floor boards aside and crawled down into a hole. Blaze followed her. She moved the boards back over to cover them.

Three men came busting in. They were rummaging through everything and set fire to the building as they left.

Helen pushed the boards back and deftly jumped out from under the floor. "Hurry Blaze, it's on fire."

He climbed out, she grabbed his hand and pulled him up.

Helen led him out of the woods to the road. She saw the jeep that the men had arrived in, she waited nearby. When a man walked toward her, she put her foot out tripping him, then killed him. She waited for the others.

Blaze couldn't believe what he had just seen. She actually killed those men. He was sure that CIA didn't just kill people.

" Your not CIA are you?" he asked.

She told him,"It's easier for you to work with me if I tell you I am CIA. If you knew me as a mercenary, you wouldn't trust me would you?"

Blaze agreed. " Let's go."

Helen drove them to Diego's compound. She put her hat down and drove past the guards who recognized the jeep as Diego's. She had gotten him into the compound as planned.

Blaze felt twitchy now. He looked around and counted the guards. He looked at all of their weapons. He analyzed the compound as they drove along.

Helen parked near the fence and entered a green tent. She had a bunch of weapons hidden there. She told him that she was known as Felix in the compound. Her job was to transport the chemicals to make the drugs to the compound. She was in with Manuelo. Lately he had made her take several of his men with her, to watch her. He was getting paranoid.

"Tomorrow we meet Manuelo. You will be a mercenary from the states. Tell him the closet you can to the truth. Where you are from, some of the undercover operations you've been on, just change it to meet a mercenary lifestyle."

Blaze nodded, "This is my first assignment."

She frowned. " Who the hell wants you dead back home?"

Blaze shook his head. "My CO John Beard. I am sure he's on the take."

Helen nodded. " I know of him. He's crooked for sure."
