    About this ebook

    Mallika Vallette has her dream future planned with David. One day a new girl comes to town and threatens to destroy all of Mallika's dreams. She turns to the only person she thinks can save all her hopes for the future, her Grandmother Eugenie and their families' ancient Voodoo ways. But when the past and Voodoo are mixed together to try and alter the present, nothing ever goes quite as planned.

    K. Woodward

    I am a legal assistant, mother of 1 child (my greatest accomplishment) and aspiring author. When I write I feel like something has taken over my mind and body and I just have to release it. I'm not arrogant enough to think everyone would want to read it, but always hope that someone will find what I write entertaining, emotional or simply a distraction in our busy, hectic days. I think there are so many talented people out there with a lot to say. I am so glad that there is a forum where we all can share our inpsirations, fear, dreams, wisdom and imagination with the world.

      JEALOUS MOON

      The moon produces no light of its own. It must use the light of the Sun or the Earth to shine.

      Mallika Vallette could not imagine life without David Mickles period. He was her confidant, her joy and her inspiration. He was the reason that she looked forward to each day and she was also pretty sure that he was the love of her life. She never considered what life would be without him or with someone else. How could she? He had always been there. The earliest memories she could remember involved David and his big smile.

      They grew up in the same town and went to the same schools since Kindergarten. She remembered in Kindergarten putting together a dinosaur puzzle. David scooted up next to her and put a missing puzzle piece on a T-Rex then looked at her with a shy little smile on his face, hoping she approved. She smiled back at him and his smile grew into a big grin that spread across his face. From that day on he had been by her side. They had grown from putting puzzles together and playing on monkey bars, to teasing each other throughout Junior High, and then falling into a comfortable friendship in their High school years.

      Somewhere around 8th grade, she started planning their future. By then, she had planned their marriage in her mind several times over. There would be the wedding by the ocean, with her dress flowing in the wind. Her dress would be white with a hint of blue satin, to highlight her light-mocha colored skin and pretty white teeth. Her hair would have blue flowers framing her veil. David’s suit would be white with a blue cumber-band. Their pictures would cause sighs of envy for years to come.

      David. Such a simple name, but such a plethora of feeling would course through her whenever she thought of it. David would look great in any environment she chose to imagine him in. He had cocoa-colored skin, chiseled cheeks, wide shoulders and delightful dimples when he smiled. But it wasn’t just his looks, when David smiled he smiled with his whole heart.

      No matter what was going on around him, David managed to stay cheerful. Despite the callousness of his fellow students and the environment they lived in, downtown New Orleans, surrounded by drugs, thugs, and the usual deterioration of society, he always kept an upbeat attitude.

      Mallika thought, in general, people had gone through a gradual cooling throughout the years in their town. Their pace was quicker and so were their tongues. David however, had a way of laughing off the rudest person, He’s having a bad day he’d say. If someone shoved by, trying to squeeze through a space that wasn’t large enough, David would say, Hey, no problem man, you obviously have something important to do. Then David would laugh, unbelievably he would laugh! It was as if he was somehow on a higher plane than the rest of these silly, anxiety-ridden people surrounding him.

      Mallika actually envied his relaxed attitude. She hadn’t quite reached that level of relaxation. If someone dared to be nippy to her, Mallika met their chilliness with artic frost, and she didn’t forget, not ever. She remembered a slight or an insult long after the party had forgotten their sin. They would feel it later though, for example, when they asked to borrow a pencil months later. To you, I don’t think so! Mallika would say and give them a steady stare.

      One day at lunch, as Mallika was walking to her table in the cafeteria, Tanya a short little blonde sauntered over to her. "Do you
