Melissa Addington, 24 year old, a bride-to-be

One such woman appeared one night on a boat like all the others. Melissa Addington was here with her fiance, James, for one last vacation before their wedding in a few months time. The British couple experienced the full welcome service. As soon as they were helped off, the welcome crew greeted them, offered drinks and ushered them onwards. Melissa saw Hasan performing his ritual, and a euphoria founded curiosity took over. She **** James to separate from the crowd to talk to him, and with a seemingly kindly smile, the portly brown skinned man began his spiel. The more Melissa heard, the more she became interested in the island's mystical culture, asking question after question about many things. Hasan was prepared and answered everything as best as he could, leaving the conversation mysterious enough to draw her further and further into his grasp. James simply stood there and listened, excusing himself after a few minutes to get them checked in. As soon as they were alone at the jetty, with the boat having gone some minutes ago, he pulled the hook.

"I sense many spirit on boat. Bad spirit of sea riding in wave," He spoke in his badly pronounced English.

"Oh, no. What happens then?" Her eyes were wide in wonder.

"Bad spirit possess human. Very bad." He continued while shaking his head, "I sense bad spirit come. Possess you."

"That can't be good at all, right?" She gives off a brief stint of worry, "I don't feel any different. Maybe a little queasy. How can you tell?"

"Bad spirit need chase away. Need blessing." Hasan exaggerated by waving his arm down from his crotch, "Witch doctor blessing. Very important. Otherwise, bad holiday."

"Oh, no! We can't have that! James and I have been planning this trip for weeks! Can you do something for us?"

"Yes. Can help, but only you. Man must stay behind." He nodded several times, "Need to take special place right now."

"Alright. I understand. Wait a moment. I'll be right back."

She tottered off towards reception of find James and explained to him the situation. He said to her that going off alone could be dangerous but the people of the island seemed truthworthy enough. Besides, he would not want their vacation to be sabotaged by this 'evil spirit or whatever', so he lets her return to the jetty without him. She promised she will be right back as soon as it was done, and came back to the smiling Hasan who readily took her to a close by shack off towards the side of the resort.
