I am Erzulie, your loa of love. My daughter, I left you in the curve of that tree so that you might live. Where are you going? Young girl

Ti Moune

My loa, Can you tell me if this road leads to the castle of one Gabriel beauxhomme who has a son called Daniel?

Erzulie

Oui, but that is far...

Ti Moune

How far is it?

Erzulie

Kilometers and kilometers. One must travel by the road as it runs along the forest. One must travel along the road as it runs by the sea. When the forest narrows to a point, and meets the sea, there is another road that crosses, leading east. One must take that road, into the grande ville- then One still has a long way to go.

Ti Moune

I will go there by my feet, Daniel needs me.

Erzulie

I'm going to lead your way. Wish you can find the true love in your life, ( or maybe the biggest surprise for you. Take this red comb with you, you will need it at some point.

Papa Ge

Hahaha!!!!! Remember Ti Moune, you have given me your soul and happiness of your love. I’m going to keep an eye on you..

To Erzulie: Love, Love, love. How they delight in the word? How they love the talk of dear, lovely Erzulie. Vain Erzulie - as though vanity were in itself a virtue. There must be room for me in all your plans.

Ahahahahahahahahaha~~~~

Scene 2

Ti Moune goes on her way

Papa Ge: Remember your family, your home, people who love you, your little brook and your past. Can you get away so easy? No you can’t

Ti Moune: Screams and runs away Get out from my mind! I’m not afraid.

Papa Ge: Run! Run! You are starving, you are exhausted. Ha, can love cover these pain?

Erzulie: Jump out from the jungles, as a old woman Where are you going, young girl?

Ti Moune: deep breathe Mama, I have to travel to the black mountain in the Grand Ville. Now I have been told I still have many kilometers to go.

Erzulie: That’s for sure, oui. For that distance you will need a great deal of patience and more food to eat along the way. Gives food to Ti Moune

Ti Moune: Thanks mama.

Erzulie: Ti Moune, with all your patience and the long way you have to go, I’ll give you bread.

Ti Moune continues her way.

Ti Moune arrives the city.

Ti Moune: A new world, a strange world. I’m confused about all the lights, beautiful clothes around me. Too fancy to make me feel this unnamed anxiety. I don’t belong here, but I must be, for Daniel, and my dreams. (Gets into the city, gate)

(Keeps walking, wants to go through the door)

Guard (stops her)  

Ti Moune: (with confusion) Bonjour, Messieurs.

Guard ignores her

I mean good morning sir.

He turns, saw her and turns away

She push the gate

Guard stops her again: Peasant pig. Get back with the scum where you belong.

Ti Moune: I have come far. I have traveled many days and many nights to see Daniel Beauxhomme.

Guard: What crazy house did she escape from? The girl even doesn’t have shoes. (laughs)  (other people around her) But what do you think? You can just walk in so? Why do you think we stand out here?

Ti Moune: Shoes? Oui, I need shoes to get in. (searching and find a man)

Sir? Will you trade me shoes for this basket of ()?

Man: Well, it’s fine to be sure, the finest () I have ever seen. But why should I exchange a pair of shoes that cost eight gourdes for one mango that cost only two?

Ti Moune: I must have shoes! (Facial expression, disappointed but firm)

Erzulie: This is a lovely fruit, oui? Where did you get it, ma fille?

Ti Moune: That, my aunt, I cannot tell. The tree from which this fruit came was chosen by the gods.

Erzulie: All the more reason I must have it. Will you take a dress with the shoes for the fruit?

Ti Moune: Of course Madame, I need these to pass the gate.

(Passing the gate, and find Daniel)

Scene 3:

Ti Moune: I’m here. I’m here to keep you safe.

Daniel: (in love and weak) Who are you? Have I known you in another time? In another world? Your face… Your voice… haunts me.

Ti Moune: (sad) I’m of this world

Daniel: But it’s impossible that I have known you - in this world. I’m weak, so weak. Help me…. help me……

(Lays beside him)

(murmuring)A girl who has given me hope

Days later

Ti Moune: Madame Mathilde says you no longer need me. She wants me to leave.

Daniel: There’s no need for you to worry, my love. You shall be with me always. I cannot lose you, otherwise I shall lose my health and strength if you ever leaves. And the next time I shall die. Ti Moune has earned my heart with her care that it now belongs to her.

Papa Ge: I cannot let this go so easily. It’s incredible that you figure the way to get to here by your foot instead of starving to death. It seem like you have a pretty firm spirit. But what if I destroy your hope? What if your dare Daniel fell in love with another woman? I’m looking forward to see how well it goes so much! HAHAHAHAHAH

Daniel: ( Daniel Stretch himself) What a nice day. I have never felt so better after that car accident. My princess Ti Moune indeed has the power to heal me.

Papa Ge then started to control Daniel

Daniel meet Andrea (Daniel acts while papa ge speaks out) In the Hotel

Papa Ge: Ha~ She’s a good target.

Andrea looks back.

Papa Ge: Hey my beautiful young lady (kiss on her hand)

Do I have the pleasure to have dinner with me? Oh, I forgot to tell you my name, I’m Daniel Beauxhomme, the son of Gabriel Beauxhomme, the owner of this hotel. It’s such a pleasure to have you with us.

Andrea: Thank you for your invitation. Hmm Such a jeune bel homme. I’m Andrea. I will attend the dinner with you.

Daniel: I promise that you will have an unforgettable memory.

(Holding each others hand)

Ti Moune sees them on their way

Ti Moune: That must not be Daniel! How can he be so flirtatious to a lady other than me! I must ask help from my loa Erzulie.

Erzulie: My daughter, it’s the last time I can help you. I will lost my power after this.

Ti Moune, Please my loa, he must not love that girl. He must love me!

Erzulie: Gave me that red comb.

Controlled Andrea and woke Daniel up

Papa Ge: ahahahah I cannot lose this game! I will be back!

Daniel: Oh what happened. Who is this young lady in front of me? She’s so beautiful and elegant. She spoke different tongues, speaking french elegantly with those island guests. Hearing her, it makes me to smile without controlling. When she laughed, it was a free laugh that needed the world to contain it. How can she be so perfect?

to Andrea: Young lady, May I ask your for dinner? Forgive me for the rush asking, you are so charming that I cannot drive my eyes off you.

Ti Moune: How can this happen! No! He must love me! I have saved him! Oh no ! Erzulie, why don’t you help me. That cannot be true!

Black out

Walking alone through the light and fade in the dark.

Papa Ge laughs: HAHAHAHAH
