Why
do
you
do
this
?
"
she
asked
the
man
.
"
Why
do
you
serve
the
white
devils
?
"
He
grinned
at
her
as
if
her
question
was
the
funniest
thing
he
ever
had
heard
.
Then
he
leaned
over
,
so
his
lips
were
almost
brushing
her
ears
,
so
his
hot
breath
on
her
ear
made
her
suddenly
feel
sick
.
"
If
you
were
older
,
"
he
told
her
,
"
I
would
make
you
scream
with
happiness
from
my
penis
.
Perhaps
I
will
do
it
tonight
.
I
have
seen
how
well
you
dance
.
"
She
looked
at
him
with
her
nut
-
brown
eyes
and
she
said
,
unflinching
,
smiling
even
,
"
If
you
put
it
in
me
down
there
I
will
bite
it
off
with
my
teeth
down
there
.
I
am
a
witch
girl
,
and
I
have
very
sharp
teeth
down
there
.
"
She
took
pleasure
in
watching
his
expression
change
.
He
said
nothing
and
walked
away
.
The
words
had
come
out
of
her
mouth
,
but
they
had
not
been
her
words
:
she
had
not
thought
them
or
made
them
.
No
,
she
realized
,
those
were
the
words
of
Elegba
the
trickster
.
Mawu
had
made
the
world
and
then
,
thanks
to
Elegba
’
s
trickery
,
had
lost
interest
in
it
.
It
was
Elegba
of
the
clever
ways
and
the
iron
-
hard
erection
who
had
spoken
through
her
,
who
had
ridden
her
for
a
moment
,
and
that
night
before
she
slept
she
gave
thanks
to
Elegba
.
Several
of
the
captives
refused
to
eat
.
They
were
whipped
until
they
put
food
into
their
mouths
and
swallowed
,
although
the
whipping
was
severe
enough
that
two
men
died
of
it
.
Still
,
no
one
else
on
the
ship
tried
to
starve
themselves
to
freedom
.
A
man
and
a
woman
tried
to
kill
themselves
by
leaping
over
the
side
.
The
woman
succeeded
.
The
man
was
rescued
and
he
was
tied
to
the
mast
and
lashed
for
the
better
part
of
a
day
,
until
his
back
ran
with
blood
,
and
he
was
left
there
as
the
day
became
night
.
He
was
given
no
food
to
eat
,
and
nothing
to
drink
but
his
own
piss
.
By
the
third
day
he
was
raving
,
and
his
head
had
swollen
and
grown
soft
,
like
an
old
melon
.
When
he
stopped
raving
they
threw
him
over
the
side
.
Also
,
for
five
days
following
the
escape
attempt
the
captives
were
returned
to
their
manacles
and
chains
.
It
was
a
long
journey
and
a
bad
one
for
the
captives
,
and
it
was
not
pleasant
for
the
crew
,
although
they
had
learned
to
harden
their
hearts
to
the
business
,
and
pretended
to
themselves
that
they
were
no
more
than
farmers
,
taking
their
livestock
to
the
market
.
They
made
harbor
on
a
pleasant
,
balmy
day
in
Bridgetown
,
Barbados
,
and
the
captives
were
carried
from
the
ship
to
the
shore
in
low
boats
sent
out
from
the
dock
,
and
taken
to
the
market
square
,
where
they
were
,
by
dint
of
a
certain
amount
of
shouting
,
and
blows
from
cudgels
,
arranged
into
lines
.
A
whistle
blew
,
and
the
market
square
filled
with
men
,
poking
,
prodding
,
red
-
faced
men
,
shouting
,
inspecting
,
calling
,
appraising
,
grumbling
.
Wututu
and
Agasu
were
separated
then
.
It
happened
so
fast
—
a
big
man
forced
open
Agasu
’
s
mouth
,
looked
at
his
teeth
,
felt
his
arm
muscles
,
nodded
,
and
two
other
men
hauled
Agasu
away
.
He
did
not
fight
them
.
He
looked
at
Wututu
and
called
"
Be
brave
,
"
to
her
.
She
nodded
,
and
then
her
vision
smeared
and
blurred
with
tears
,
and
she
wailed
.
Together
they
were
twins
,
magical
,
powerful
.
Apart
they
were
two
children
in
pain
.
