From nearby, his brother in his female form stood, watching Gabriel. Granted, Uzza was interested in the ritual, but it didn't seem to be anything that he could help with. But Gabriel's well being was all Uzza was concerned with. Near his feet, Sadako watched Lilo's actions, admiring the way moonlight fell over the younger woman's tattooed back.
There was no more time to hesitate. Lilo murmured a quiet plea for Erzulie's aid, for her guiding hand, for her to hold to her word. Once she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and plunged the blade through her jugular, piercing her throat. Gurgling faintly, she closed her eyes and fell to the sand, hoping that Gabe wouldn't run over.
