utter exhaustion took him.
     
    Jessica pulled the leather curtain aside and stepped into Dustin’s room, catching him off guard as he washed himself off from the basin of cool water that had been left for him.
    “Damn it Jess!” He hollered, turning away and reaching for his clothes.
    “What do you have to hide anymore? I’ve seen you naked already you know.”
    Dustin stopped his pursuit to dress quickly. “And are you here to see me naked again?” He tone was hopefully.
    “No Dustin, I’m not,” she said flatly. “There’s something weird about this place, don’t you think?”
    He shrugged as he pulled his shirt back on. “Definitely something weird about it - I mean three gorgeous women living in the ruins of an ancient civilization is a bit odd. More so that they seem to have strange healing abilities or something weird like that.”
    She rolled her eyes. “Yes, that is VERY odd wouldn’t you say?”
    “Weird things happen sometimes. We are lucky they were here…Josh didn’t look like he was going to make it much longer.”
    “That’s another thing, he shouldn’t have. We both saw how close to death he was before Mark got back. How the hell is he still alive?”
    “By the grace of God or luck?” Dustin replied. “It’s a good thing he is alive Jess, why do you seem so mad about it?”
    “I’m not mad Dustin, I am worried…confused.” Jessica confessed. “There was something in that water or something that kept Josh alive somehow. It doesn’t make any sense. This place and those women don’t make any sense. I think something is wrong with this place. I’ve got a bad feeling about it.”
    Dustin chuckled. “Just because something doesn’t make sense, doesn’t make it wrong.”
    Jessica scowled at him. “Stop thinking with your dick, Dustin you’re smarter than that. You know what I mean, and you know I am right.”

He held up his hands in defeat. “There is something weird about this place I’ll grant you that, but I don’t think we have anything to worry about. They seem nice enough, they have offered to help Josh and have even given us somewhere safe and dry to sleep.”
    “I am going to go find out where Josh and Mark are, I want to make sure they are okay. Now, are you coming with me or not?”
    He pulled on his shoes with a sigh. “Of course I am, lead the way.”
     
    Mark finished drying himself off, glad to finally be clean again. He looked around for his clothes, but they weren’t on the aged wicker chair where he had left them - instead, there was a black cotton robe. He looked around, wondering when someone had come in and replaced them. The thought unnerved him slightly.
    He left the bathing chamber attached to the room he had been given. As he entered the fat white and red candles that lined the ridged walls sprang to life, as if by command. He jumped back defensively his heart pounding in terror as he scanned the room.
    “Apologies if I startled you.” Kassandra’s soft voice floated through the air.
    Mark turned to see she was standing in the doorway in a sheer lace negligee. “How did you do that?” He asked looking from her to the candles in dismay.
    She giggled. “The powers of O Sangue do Morto Dá Vida are many to those who are accepted to receive them.”
    “You have magic then?” He said, though felt foolish for doing so.
    She smiled enchantingly at him, moving into the room, her hips swaying seductively. “Magic is for tricksters and children.” The candles in the room went out, leaving the room in utter darkness for mere moments before springing to life once more. “What we possess is far more divine,” she whispered in his ear behind him.
    He turned startled. “How did you...” He stepped back fearfully.
    “You have no need to have fear of me, I promise you. I have nothing but desirable and promising intent.” She cooed. “You did well by your friend - because of you he will live.”
    Mark swallowed the nervousness back. “He would have
