“Did you hear that?”

          Antinique also looked around, but she stayed close to Imhotep.  “Yea.”  She moved her attention back to the man.  “But who cares…. We should kill her.”

          “The ones who should die are the ones coming to lie,” I whispered to myself again.

 

          A couple of days had passed and I was in the throne room, talking to Simba.  Apparently, he didn’t know anything about my engagement to Imhotep and I planned on keeping that way.  He didn’t need to know anything anyways.  He was an idiot and he was more for helping others rather than killing them so I could care less about him.  “What do you have against Imhotep and Antinique, Nala?” he asked.

          “Antinique is having an affair with Imhotep,” I replied.  I was still trying to figure out how to let my father know and how to make a big deal about it as if I was in love with Imhotep and the thought of him with another woman was so heart breaking that even though he commented the crime I would still want to be there to say goodbye and to see him for one last time.... That way I could laugh and watch them suffer and enjoy the moment of their deaths, but I still had to figure out how?

          Simba shook his head.  “No, she’s not.”

          “Yes, she is.”

          “If they were, it would show.”

          I couldn’t believe how naïve my brother was.  “You’re blind…. You don’t see it, because you’re not a saiyan…. And you’re not evil….”

          “That’s not true, Na---“

          “You know what, Simba, the next time you say something against me…. I’ll have you locked up.”

          “You won’t do that to me…. Because I’m your older brother.”

          I eyed Simba.  “Try me.”

          Imhotep walked into the room.

          I faked a smile so he wouldn’t know that I know.  “Oh, Imhotep.  We were just talking about you.”

          Imhotep smiled.  “You were?”

          “Yes, sir.”

          “Oh.  Good to know.”

          I started drooling as Imhotep walked away.  His flesh was calling to me.  The human meat which I wanted to taste so bad was temping me.  I couldn’t stop the urge.   I had to at least try.  “He looks good enough to eat,” I told Simba.  “A wolf can get foul on one of his arms…. I’ll be right back.”  My inhuman mind wanted to taste one bit of the man’s arm.  I started to follow Imhotep.

          I felt Simba’s eyes staring at me like I was crazy.

          Imhotep stopped and turned to look at me.  “Oh, Princess Nala.  What do you want?”

          “Your arm to eat….” I told myself.  “Nothing,” I replied to Imhotep.

          “Oh.”  He turned back around and I bit into his lower left, muscular arm.  Before I could really stick my wolf fangs into his skin he smacked my nose.

          I released his arm and covered my nose.  I couldn’t believe that jerk wouldn’t let me feast.  I was hungry and I wanted to try some human meat.  I walked back over to Simba, ticked off.  I moved my hand away from my nose, the anger grew inside of me.  “He smacked me.”

          “You bit him,” Simba replied, pretending to laugh.

          “GUARDS, LOCK MY BROTHER UP!” I exclaimed, pointing to my brother who wouldn’t take my side for nothing.

          Simba was surprised by my action.  I didn’t know why though.  “I can’t believe that you’re going to have me locked up.”

          I looked at my nails.  “I told you, but you didn’t believe me.”

          The guards arrived and carried Simba out of the room.  I sighed and looked over at Imhotep who was leaving the room, angry. 

The Dream

          I lay on my bed for a while, staring at the top of the canopy around my bed.  I was tired and tried to fall asleep but for some reason sleep wasn’t happening.  I kept thinking about what I would do to fool the humans, including my father, making them believe that it hurt me so bad knowing that Imhotep was with another woman and not just any woman but my future step-mother.  I was good at deceit but for some reason I could think of any good ideas that would help my lies.  Finally, I felt my eyes drifting off and darkness slowly fell upon me.

 

          I stood looking at Antinique and Imhotep.  Their human scent was taunting me to attack and feast upon their human flesh.  I wanted to devour my enemies as my inhuman mind took over and I would attack to eat both, but instead I stood at the throne and smiled at them evilly.  “You two are food and I will finally destroy both of you by feasting on your human flesh and bones.”

          “You’re a demon,” Imhotep told me, giving me a look of hatred.

          I smiled at his words.  “And you are an adulterer…. Fair is fair.”

          “I hope you suffer,” Antinique spat.

          I raised an eyebrow.  “For what? I have done nothing wrong.”

          The couple eyed me.  They both were wishing death to me but I knew I couldn’t die.

          I worked my way down the steps which lead to the throne and slowly walked over toward them.  I stood in front of Imhotep.  I gave him an evil, flirtatious smile.  “Now I can play my part of the fiancée who had just found out that the man who I was so madly in love with lied to me.”

          Imhotep’s face changed to red with rage.  He was angry with me.  “I hope you burn in---”

          “Not nice words to say to the woman who you were going to vow to spend the rest of your life with,” I mocked with an evil smile.  I turned my attention toward Antinique.  “And you…. Oh the other woman…. Tragic…. The two lovers die together….” My snout began to growl, revealing my fangs and I jumped at Antinique when Imhotep knocked me to the ground.  His arms held me down as he sat on top of me.

          “How dare you?” he asked.  His rage was tempting me to fight back but I was letting him have the upper hand for the moment.

          I smiled, evilly looking up into his human brown eyes.  “You started this game first…. I’m just playing along….”

          His eyes burnt into mine and I laughed.

          “Saiyans…. Don’t you wish you could be one just like me?”

          He pinned my arms to the ground to keep me from fighting back.

          My evil laughter continued.  “Jealousy…. Jealousy…. Oh what fun is jealousy?” I lost my laugh as I began to growl.  “You can’t keep me down forever, human…. I’m a million times stronger than you and you know it.”  I pushed my arms up, shoving Imhotep back.  I flew over to him and held him up in midair.  “Look it here…. I have the upper hand.”  I threw him into a wall.

          “AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! IMHOTEP!!!” Antinique’s fearful voice called from behind.

          I teleported over to the broken man and picked him up again.  I hadn’t broken any bones, sadly but he was badly injured.  I threw him into the wall again.

          “IMHOTEP!!!” Antinique screamed again.

          I smiled as I watched him slowly push himself up from the ground and work his way to up on his knees.  It wasn’t hard to tell that he was in pain.  “I know my father told me to never play with my food before I eat it but this is just too much fun.”  I laughed, evilly.  I flew as quickly as I could to Imhotep and landed in front of him.  He looked up at me with eyes begging for mercy.  I raised an eyebrow.

          “Please let me live,” he begged.  Tears were filling his eyes which kind of confused me, knowing the kind of heartless man he was.

          “I don’t think so.”  I let my wolf fangs grow into my mouth, keeping my human from on the outside as I leaned against the man, holding down his arm.  Drool filled my mouth as I looked at his juicy human flesh.  I brought the top half of his arm to my mouth but as soon as I brought his bicep to my mouth someone pulled me back by the collar of my dress.

          “Leave the humans alone,” Tommus’s voice came from behind me.  “They don’t need to be treated like this.”

          “But---”

          “Thank you, Tommus,” Imhotep replied.

          “Imhotep get Antinique out of here,” Tommus told him.  “I have to deal with my cousin.”

          Imhotep bowed his head.  The scene went pitch black although I could still feel Tommus’s presence among me.  I turned to face him.  The next thing I knew we were standing in some kind of arena.  It was empty and desert.  No one was around for miles and there was no telling where we were at all.  Tommus held a sword in his hand.  It was a long, slim sword with a sharp sliver blade.  “Nala,” he spoke calmly in that tone which was one that I hated from him or anyone else with a kind heart, “please stop doing this.”

          “Doing what?”

          “Murdering, harming humans…. What else is there?” He looked sad and lost.  He closed his eyes and sighed.  “That’s not a path you want to go down.”

          “Whatever.”  I pulled out a sword right from out of nowhere as I looked at Tommus.  The sword didn’t look any different from the one Tommus held in his hand.  “Fight me.”

          “I’m not going to fight---”

          “Okay fine but I will kill you for letting my food escape.”  I swung my sword and Tommus blocked the attack.  I could tell by his eyes that he didn’t want to fight but he had no choice.  I swung again and again he blocked.  Then again and again.  Finally, I had the upper hand.

          My cousin lay on the ground.  He stared up at me as I went to swing the sword…. It went black and when the light appeared I was looking at my lifeless body lying on the ground.  Tommus’s stared with tears in his eyes as he looked down at me....

 

 

          I shot up on my bed and looked around.  The sunlight shone into the room.  It was morning.  I sighed, closing my eyes.  I kind of laughed.  It was just a dream…. Of course it was just a dream…. I’m not human, I can’t die.  I climbed out of the bed and walked over to my vanity.  I sat on the chair and looked into the mirror.  I stared at myself in the mirror when I see a dark figure in the corner.  I figured who it was.  “What do you want?” I asked, rudely.

          “Times ticking, your highness,” Grim replied.

          I kind of laughed.  “Yea whatever.”

          “Be careful…. You do not want to temp God.”  He vanished.

          I felt fear growing inside of me at what he had said about the Hebrew’s God.  Something really started to bug me or scare me about the name.  Not the name…. I didn’t even know much about the Hebrew’s God and their beliefs to feel threatened.  I decided to shrug it off and prepare for the
