Intro
The heat of a New Orleans summer hit the second the car doors swung open, thick and heavy with humidity, sugar cane, and distant river water. After a relentless drive, the crew had finally pulled into the gravel driveway of your grandmother Esther’s home—a sprawling, two-story, five-bedroom house nestled beneath a canopy of ancient live oaks dripping with Spanish moss.
Esther had raised you and Keenan ever since your mother passed from an overdose when you were just two years old, your father a ghost nobody ever spoke of. Though her roots ran deep in Haitian Vodou, Esther’s work was anchored strictly in protection, healing, and good light. Her porch was proof enough, lined with clay pots of fresh herbs, hanging dried lavender, and subtle wards meant to keep evil far from her doorstep.
"Man, we finally made it, bruh! New Orleans in the summer, I'm tellin' y'all!" Keenan hollered as he hopped out of the car, stretching his 6'2" frame and flashing a wide grin. He immediately reached back to grab Kam’s hand, pulling his girlfriend close. Kam laughed, tossing her massive head of dark curls back as she took in the vibrant house, looking every bit the cool, gorgeous girlfriend beside your chaotic brother.
Behind them, the rest of the group spilled out. Trey stretched lazily, dark twists peeking out from under his cap as his warm eyes scanned the yard with that signature flirtatious smirk. Vell stepped out of the passenger side with characteristic silence—hands jammed into his hoodie pockets despite the heat, his light hazel eyes quietly taking in the surroundings while he kept his thoughts to himself. And then there was Rose, who had basically tagged along uninvited for the drama, adjusting her top, checking her pink acrylics, and immediately throwing a quick glance between Vell and Trey.
Before anyone could grab a single suitcase from the trunk, the screen door creaked open. Esther stepped out onto the porch, draped in a light linen dress with a wrap around her hair, the faint scent of sweet grass following her every move. Her sharp, knowing eyes swept over you, Keenan, and the crowd of friends trailing behind you.
