32 Chapter 31

How dare him! He thinks after everything he's done, that I can just walk back into his arms. Who does Remey think he is, hell who does Buford think he is by rejecting me all the time, maybe I just need to move on from both of the arrogant guys, as I said before, I have the worst luck with men.

After a few days of sulking, and being in my head, I decided to take a break from my duties for the day and go searching for answers about my mother myself. As I'm heading out the door, Buford stops me "Where are you going?"

Without turning around, I tell him "I'm going out, by MYSELF" and walk out the door. I heard him scrambling and yelling my name to wait, I'm sure he wanted someone to come with me since they haven't let me out of their sights since I've become the Queen.

I had already called an Uber this morning, and thank the voodoo spirits they were already here, so I climb in the car before anyone can try to join me, giving the driver directions, I sit back and wonder how do I find out about my mother, and who can I trust.

Twenty minutes later, the driver dropped me off at a little voodoo shop on the outskirts of a town called 'Spirits' which doubles as a bar. Looking a little out of place with my long hair in a high ponytail, black pants and white blouse paired with my heels, I look around at the patrons dressed casually.

I've heard some of the elder's talk of this place in some of the meetings, so I decided to start here, sitting at the bar, an adorable pixie-like redhead walks up with a smile "You look like you need a break, what can I get for you?"

I smile back at her "Just a soda, for now, I'm actually looking for someone or maybe just information" the redhead hands me a coke.

"Well I can try to help you, or maybe my grandmother, she is in the shop" remembering I need to be careful what I say, and that this happened years ago, I decided to go to her grandmother first.

Walking into the shop part, the smells being like my best friends' shop, it makes me feel comfortable. I see the older woman in a chair by the checkout counter and walk over to her "Excuse me, mam, I'm looking for some information, maybe you can help me out" the old woman looks up and me, and an 'O' shape forms on her face.

"Yes, my queen, anything for you" she says and starts to stand, I put my hand on her shoulder.

"Please, you don't have to get up, I can sit beside you. How did you know who I was?".

The older woman smiles "You are the lost heir that came back to us, all of the magic community knows who you are, and look forward to having peace again. My name is Teressa, and I can only answer what you seek, give me your hand" I smile.

"Yes Ms. Teressa, please call me Acadia, warning though when I give you my hand, I may make your power go out of control or have a vision of you and death" she smiles and nods, then I give her my hand. Feeling her power course through me, and her tugging at my memory's and questions, thanking the fact that I learned how to control my abilities better, I don't want anything to happen to her.

No visions, no loss of control on my part, and all seems to go well until she releases my hand. "My dear, you seek to find your mother! From what I see in your memories, this will not be the easiest journey for you, you may not like the answers. That is not the only thing that is bothering you, your love is split, and you don't know who is better for you. These I cannot answer, I can only give you my memories of your mother, and advice on the other" she says with a frown on her face.

She goes on to tell me about when my mother was queen, how she ran things, how she was amazing with everyone, fair, beautiful, and powerful she was. Then leaves me with a riddle to decipher on my own about my love life.
