"Something the matter, my sweet dear?" says the Djinn.
Alas thinks fear has taken control that is the reason her bodily functions are paralyzed. The Djinn draws near. Alas sucks in a breath of the air and lets out an ear splitting scream.
"Enough!"
The Djinn raises a hand and Alas's scream is put on mute.
"Doo…Don't.
She can still speak but every time she tries to scream it is like being put on mute, no sound. Alas shakes her head and closes her eyes in the hope of shutting out the horrifying demon vision. Her mind just can't cope with what her eyes are seeing, this perversion.
"Do you wish me gone?" his voice is right in her ear now.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Alas yells covering both ears with her hands.
She counts to three silently and opens her eyes. The Djinn is gone.
Marshall is lying on the bed breathing softly. Alas is sitting in the bed beside him. How did she get here? She is unsure if the Djinn ordeal was real or not. Alas looks down at Marshall's six pack heaving up and down as he breathes. She can't help but run her fingers along his muscles. He's real and he's really there beside her. Alas decided it would be best if she left. She needed to get her head straight, maybe she was going crazy. Alas get's up from the bed as quietly as she can and leaves the bedroom. She almost makes it to the front door when the Djinn appears again in front of her.
Alas feels as if she might pass out. The Djinn is bigger and more powerful looking in person than in any of her dreams. He wears a red velvet robe around his waist; each of his legs is guarded with metallic armor. Alas looks back to the room where she left a sleeping Marshall, but he is gone. The Djinn stretches out a hand toward Alas.
"Don't touch me!"
"We are past that aren't we?"
The Djinn looks Alas up and down.
"I didn't know it was you!"
"You did know Alas a part of you knew deep down inside."
The Djinn flicks his tongue and gives Alas an accusing stare.
Alas curls up in a ball with her head in her lap.
"I didn't I didn't….just go away."
Alas rocks back and forth on the floor.
"Alas you have desires that you deny in shame. Admit them embrace them."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Alas looks up from her lap her bottom lip trembling.
"My dear whatever you wish I will carry out."
"I've seen the people that wished to you and their all dead!"
"Only by a lack of clarity."
"How can I stay alive?"
"Word carefully."
The Djinn speaks in a low tone.
"What happens after I make three wishes?"
"My race is free to enter this world."
"There are more of you?"
"Yes hundreds."
"What will happen to the people?"
"You know the answer to that."
"Where will that leave me?"
"Where ever you wish my dear."
The Djinn is now almost up against Alas's body.
