Sulei

Sulei sat still, her gaze fixed on the big foggy crystal ball in front of her. The girl opposite her shifted, opend her moth and then closed it again. Sulei seemed submerged, dazed even. 

The girl shifted again:"What do you see?" 

"shshsh" Sulei said. 

An eternity later, Sulei lifted her gaze from the ball and looked straight in the green eyes of her guest and said:" It is very good that you came to me! You really need help and I can help you!" 

"Oh! What's wrong?"

"Dear, you life path had been bent by some evil people. Very evil!" 

"What does it mean?" 

"Everything! No love, no propmotions, bad health, bad luck. Very bad!" 

The girl licked her lips and touched her neck:"But, you said you can help me?" 

"Yes." 

"How?" 

"I can give you a very powerful amulet that will protect you and I can also mend your bad luck, but it will take time" 

"Oh, please, do, what ever you can!" 

Half an hour later the girl left. Sulei was smiling. She counted bills, put them in order and the added them to the bills that were hidden in the wooden box in the cupboard.
