from limb to limb.  I ripped off his left arm and I tore through his bare chest with my inhuman claws, ripping out his heart.  I didn’t care who was watching.  I didn’t want one human to believe that I was weak for one moment.

          “NALA!” my father’s voice echoed through the ball room.

          I ignored his voice though.  I didn’t care what I was doing.  I kept digging further into the human’s torso.  Anubis had given the humans reason to believe that I was as weak and pathetic as they were and I wasn’t about to fall into his trap.  I kept tearing the man up and I didn’t care that he wasn’t breathing anymore.

          “Princess Nala,” Imhotep’s voice tried to get through to me.

          I ignored him as well as my father.  Eventually, I felt someone pulled me back.  I tried to fight against the strength of whoever it was but they wore.

          “I’m ashamed of you, Nala,” Tommus’s voice spoke.

          I looked up at him, growling.  He had transformed into a half man half tiger.  “Let go of me
.”

          “No
. You need to calm down.”

          I went to bite his hand but he was too fast.  I held me up against the wall.  His right hand was wrapped around my neck.

          Tommus had tears fill his eyes as he stared at me.  “You’re highness
. My cousin
. You can’t do this
. The humans have a fear of you
. Why did you turn out so demonic?” he asked, hiding the hurt in his voice.

          “Let me go,” I growled at him.

          He shook his head.  “I can’t do that
. These people need to feel safe and protected but you make them feel fearful
. Terrified
. They’re your people, not animals that you can just butcher.”  Tommus kept holding onto my neck as he turned toward the people.  “I am sorry for my cousin’s behavior.  She shouldn’t do this to any of you.  You deserve to be treated like people, not animals.  I am sorry.”

          “Let my daughter go, Tommus.”  My father had worked his way over to us and he was angry.  I didn’t know if he was angry at me or at Tommus but he was ticked off.  “I’m not happy about what she had just done but if she feels that she wants to murder for the fun of it then let her.”

          I smiled, evilly.  I knew somehow this would turn around on my cousin.

          Tommus didn’t release me from his grip but he looked at my father with a confused and worrisome look.  “But she just killed an innocent man.”

          “I don’t care.  She is just like a goddess and apparently a chosen bride for one of our dear gods.  I am proud of her.”

          Tommus didn’t know how to respond to that.  He was in complete shock.

          I began to laugh evilly as I moved Tommus’s tiger like claw away from my small human skin.  “I win
. I will always win.”  I looked around at the fearful humans.  “I may be considered a demon to most of you but you can’t do anything to me
. I am unstoppable.”

          I could hear soft spoken prayers from the Hebrew servants to their God.  I could hear them praying for me.  I couldn’t tell if it was for my death or if I should change but I know felt fear thinking about it.  I looked up to the high ceiling as if someone was speaking.  In the corner of my eye I noticed the Grim Reaper as standing there in the shadows.  He shook his head for a moment.  I didn’t know if anyone else could see him or not but I left it alone.  I noticed that Madeline and my uncle Maxumous stood at a distance.  Madeline had a horrified look and my uncle had his arm wrapped around her to let her know that it was going to be okay.

          “Well, the princess has spoken,” Imhotep said as he walked over to me.  He was playing the nice card which he always pulled around the humans and even my father.  He knew if he said anything against me in front of my father it would be his last time.  “Next time keep your dirty work out of the public eye,” he whispered to me.

          “You’re next on my list,” I replied, “and I still plan on having you for dinner.”

          “You can’t kill me,” he said, an evil smile grew on his face.  “Your father won’t allow it.  I’m an important part of his conceal.”

          “Believe me,” I responded, “I’ll find a reason and I’ll use it against you although I might just let you suffer in pain by the human guards
. Then I might have a taste
. If I like it then you’ll be a good meal, if not then you’ll be a mummy with a bite mark.”

          “Evil little brat.”

          “Annoying piece of meat.”

          I could tell by Imhotep’s expression that he wanted to hit me so bad but he knew he couldn’t.  He knew the coincidence of what would happen if he hit a girl and not just any girl but the princess.

          “By the way, I see the way that you look at my future step-mother
. Beware
. If you even consider touching her, I will know and I will have you both murdered
. Have respect for my father.”  I left the room.  I didn’t want to be stuck with the humans for another minute.

          Vanessa walked with me to the room.  “How could you do that?”

          I looked at her for a brief moment but didn’t bother to answer.

          “Killing an innocent man for no reason
. You have no morals.”

          I shrugged as I opened the door to my room. 

“Anubis is an evil spirit
. A demon
. He was sent to threaten you
. Us
. He came straight from Hell
. That’s where you’re going
. What he said about you being his bride was only away to let you know that when you die he’s going to make sure you suffer
. You are not immortal
. You will die
.”

          “Why do you keep saying that?” I asked, angrily.

          “Because I’m warning you
. The Grim Reaper is trying to warn you as well
. God will punish you
. If you don’t get what’s coming to you in this world, then God will punish you
. The Hebrews know what they’re doing when the talk about Him
. They know the wrath that you don’t seem to understand
. Just because you aren’t fully human doesn’t mean that you will live through everything
. You don’t know what you’re doing and who you’re dealing with
. Nala, you might as well say good bye to this world.”  Vanessa was gone without another word.

          I closed my door and walked over to my bed and sat down.  That fear came back and it hurt.  I felt as if I was in pain.  I screamed as I fell off of my bed and onto my knees.  There was this horrible pain in the pit of my stomach.  I opened my mouth in pain and that horrible painful high pitch scream started again but this time I was in too much pain to try and cover my ears.

          I heard someone in my room.  A pair of skeletal feet stood before me but they were mostly covered by the pitch black cloak which fell to the grown.  “I’m warning you, princess,” the Grim Reaper told me.  “I’m working for God and I am here to warn you.”

          “God?” I asked, looking up at him.

          He nodded, there was pity in his voice.

          I slowly stood up, holding my stomach.  “Aren’t Angels suppose to look human and alive with bright lights or something?”

          “I asked Him to transform me
. It was when some of our own fell to Earth because they were cast out of Heaven
. I am the angel of death and I felt that as my new job I should look the part, unlike the others with my job.... People shouldn’t fear me but they do
. Whether or not I look alive
. I want to help you to choose the right path but I can see it’s going to be hard
. I have talked to Persephone and we have a plan for your future to teach you a lesson but as of right you
. You are to live
. Please at least try to attempt to change or suffer for your sins.”

          I went to speak but he vanished before the words could come out of my mouth. 

Children & the Princess

Niki and I were in the throne room, talking.  We were having a conversation dealing with our father and his wife to be.  “Sixteen years ago, dad could have married then after he killed mom,” Niki spoke with harsh words.

“Yes, but I think dad wants us to be mad
. If you think about it, she is just as evil as we are
. So, it’s all good.”  I was trying to convince myself more than I was trying to convince my brother.  Deep down inside I wanted to kill Antinique as much as anyone else.  I knew Niki would have agreed but I preferred to keep my thoughts to myself.

“Nala, my dear sister, I think you have a point."

I smiled.  “I do have a good point
. Don’t I?”  The smile I wore on my face hid my evil plan.  I was going to find out what it was that I hated most about Antinique to prove that she didn’t deserve to be a part of our family and I was going to kill her.

          Imhotep walked into the room and my look changed to an expression which told the man that I hated him and wanted him dead.  “What are you two talking about?” he asked.  We could tell by his voice that he was being sarcastic and really could care less.

          “About our father getting remarried
.” Niki trailed off.

          “Is that right, Prince Niki?”

          Niki looked at Imhotep with a look that told him, “I don’t trust you.”  “That is true, Imhotep.”

          “Oh.”  He moved face to face with me.  “How do you feel about that, Princess Nala?”

          Niki and I looked at each other then back to Imhotep.

          “My sister doesn’t want to talk right now,” Niki answered for me.

          “I can respect that,” Imhotep replied, getting ready to leave the room.

          I waited ‘til Imhotep was at the door.  “IMHOTEP!”

          Imhotep stopped at the door and turned around.  “Oh.  Now she talks.  Yes, Princess Nala?”

          “I want you to stay away from my stepmother,” I told him.  I knew he thought back to what I had told him at the ball about him looking at her.  He wanted her and I could sense it as well.  I thought a warning would be good for him even if he didn’t think I would actually do anything which he knew to be a lie.

          He smiled.  “Okay.  Is that all?”

I was almost mad by his evil smile.  “Yes.”

Imhotep left the room.

 

Later on during that same day, I was in my room, when someone knocked on my bedroom door.  I climbed off of my bed.  “COME IN!”

A servant girl walked into the room, carrying a baby.  She had long, brown hair and looked
