"Hmm, are you sure?" Max asked, stroking his cheek in the club. "That's your wish?"
He nodded, drinking in the sexy woman wrapped around him. "You're going to grant my wishes?"
Max kissed him, enjoying his hands on her. "Anything you want. I'm yours right now."
"God, you're hot."
"I am," she smiled, tossing her hair back. "Come home with me. Let me make your fantasies come true."
"I don't even know your name."
"Do you need to?"
He shook his head, as she kissed him again and draped herself around him. "I think I love you."
He can't love me, Max thought. I'm just a genie. It's my body, face, the magic, that I ooze sex. "You'll love me after tonight."
He kissed her again, as she giggled. "Come with me."
He stared at her, as she led him out of the club. Hot, he thought, very hot. How did I rank this sexy piece of ass? He smiled as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him again before they both swirled out in a plume of smoke together.
"What the hell?" he gasped, as he pushed away from her. "What was that? Where are we?"
Max twirled her hair around her finger. "Careful, Mark."
He froze, teetering on the edge of her balcony. Crouching down, he screamed, as he fell into the infinity pool that looked over the city. "What?"
"Oh," she laughed. "Look at you."
He stared at her as she made her dress vanish and waded in the pool next to him. "Why don't we get comfortable?"
"What the hell are you?"
"You wished me to be your pet?" Max smiled. "I saw what you did women, how you abuse them, how you killed them…is that what you planned for me?"
"What?"
"You wished for power and money and fame," Max smiled. "You should have wished to not get caught, Mark."
"What?"
Max stroked his cheek. "I'm a genie and you are my favorite type. Granted."
"A genie?"
She let herself dissolve into smoke and reappear dressed and dry on the pool edge. "A genie."
"You aren't a genie. You didn't come out of a lamp."
She smiled at that. "No lamp can hold me or my friend now. Hmm."
He screamed, as he noticed the breasts growing out of his chest and the white-blonde hair spilling down his back. "Stop!"
"You murdered and hurt women."
"No!"
"You make a lovely woman," Max smiled, looking at the naked blonde in her pool. "Very lovely."
"Change me back!"
"Oh, you don't want that," Max sighed. "Th FBI is raiding your home, they found your collection. They're looking for you, Mark…Oh, that doesn't suit you anymore. They won't find you like this, your victims won't get justice."
"What did you do to me?"
"You're going to be punished."
"What?" Mark said as she floated him out of the pool and clothed him in a golden bikini and flicked her wrist to style her platinum hair. "What?"
Max clapped and laughed in delight. "You look perfect!"
"What?"
"For my friend. You are going to be his thrall."
"What?"
"A thrall. A sex slave," Max smiled. "I'm sure he'll make some modifications himself. Good-bye Mark."
"Wicked," Araya sighed. "What wicked little genie you are."
"He hurt women. He'll see what it's like now," Max said. "I gave him a very nice, very genie-like, harem outfit to wear."
"And his master?"
Max shrugged. "I can take care of him too. I freed his other thralls and replaced them with these bad men. They are all very successful in their new lives."
Araya sighed, kissing her again. "It's a lot of magic, Hala."
"I saw the roses. Surds are here," Max said. "We should go."
"I like it here."
"Me too," Max sighed. "To our next home?"
"She was here. I smell her," Kenny said. "Disgusting genie stench. Both of them."
Grant nodded. "Genies can't stay away from each other. The play together…it will distract them both."
"They still sense us."
"We set the trap. She won't be able to help herself if she senses one."
Kenny smiled. Come to me, Genie.
Max paused. "It's too easy. A lamp just appearing."
Araya looked at Max pacing naked through their cliffside home. "You think it's the Surds."
"I know it is."
"Then we don't go after it, Hala."
"We have to. They belong with us."
"I'm happy with you."
Max smiled as her genie sister kissed her. "We belong together. All 12 of us."
"Hala," she sighed. "I still smell the humanity in you sometimes. Even when you are being naughty and wicked…You punish only bad humans."
"I'm not human."
"Certainly not," Araya smiled. "You're my sexy lover. You freed me, Hala."
Hala, Max thought, I am Hala now. "And we can free another. We know it's a trap, so lets trap them."
"They can smell us. They'll know we're genies."
Max smiled back at her. "We will free them all. Listen."
Genie, Kenny thought, come to me Genie. He let his mind drift, remembering the two of them as humans. She fell into that genie's arms, she didn't hesitate…that's what genies do. She's a wicked little thing now. She isn't Max, she doesn't look like her, doesn't act like her, she was Max once, but she let herself become a genie. She could have fought it. All these creatures, nothing but blights. Come Genie, don't fight me.
"You want to stay with us?" Max smiled, stroking her hair. "You like us?"
Dana nodded. "You're both so pretty."
Araya smiled at Max, as she kissed Dana. "So are you. You can stay with us. Do you want to be like us?"
Dana nodded, as slipped her hand up her dress. "Oh…"
"Look at me," Max smiled. "You're going to help us, Dana. You need to repeat what I'm going to say."
Dana nodded, as she felt herself melting their attention. "Yes. Of course yes, Mistress."
"I wish to be irresistible to Surds," Max said, breathing some gold smoke into her mouth.
"I wish to be irresistible to Surds."
"Granted," Max smiled, as Dana began to reshape on the couch. "You were right, Araya, she is perfect."
"This is what you looked like as a human?" Araya asked, looking at the passed out woman on the couch. "I would have liked you then, Hala."
Max looked at Dana for a moment. "I was cute. She'll sleep a bit."
Araya smiled. "I'm looking forward to bringing our next member home to us."
Max smiled back at her. "Me too. Come here, Love."
"Hello Kenny."
He turned and stared. Not her. Of course it's not her. "Genie."
Dana smiled and shook her head. "The genie freed me from her."
"You're a liar, Genie."
"You know what genies smell like, feel like," Dana said. "I'm not a genie, Kenny."
"You know my name."
Dana smiled. "Of course I do. You were my best friend. I saved myself this time."
Not the genie. "Where is the genie?"
"I don't know. I wanted to get away from her. She's…she's evil. Come with me. I don't want to be around this anymore. I just want you."
"How did you find me?"
"She knew. She's coming."
"Max…"
She kissed him. "I've always loved you."
"You are not Max."
"Of course I'm Max."
"No, you smell like genie magic."
"No!" Dana screamed, as Kenny held the sword to her neck. "Help!"
"Where is the genie?"
"No, they love me. They chose me."
"She's incapable of that. She's a monster. Take this one," Kenny said, directing the other Surds. "She could be very useful."
"I'm Max!" Dana screamed. "Kenny! I'm Max! Don't!"
"Silly girl," Max sighed, watching the Surds surround her as she looked at the empty pedestal. Can't see the lamps, she thought, how ironic. It's like they don't trust us. Kenny did care about her. Me. If we could go back…what a wish that would be. Who would I be? Dead. Forgotten. This is fun. Immortal, magical, beautiful, with my new lover. Watching as Dana dissolved in front of them. Fake Dana, Max thought, invisible Dana taking the lamp as the Surds panicked again. Silly Surds.
"You are so sweet," Max said, stroking her cheek. "It's beautiful."
Dana looked at the lamp in her hands and back at them. "Are you really genies?"
Max smiled. "We are. We just want to find our families again. Will you help us some more, Dana? Can you rub the lamp?"
"Oh," Dana said, as the smoke poured out. "Genies…"
Araya clapped in delight. "Oh."
He smiled, looking at them as he solidified out of blue smoke. "Well…"
"You're a genie," Dana breathed. "I'm your master."
He looked at her and smiled slowly. "And very sexy mistress you are. What is your first wish?"
Dana looked at Max and Araya and smiled. "I want to stay with my genie lovers."
"That isn't a wish," Max smiled. "We want you to stay, Dana. We like playing with you."
She nodded. "You're all genies."
Araya kissed her cheek. "She's a good pet."
"A shame to lose her," Max smiled, looking at the male genie. "Do you want to help us Dana?"
"Very much."
"Give him his lamp. Free him…you will stay with us forever if you do."
Dana turned it over in her hands. "It's so pretty. My only wish is to stay with you."
"Granted," Max whispered, nipping at her jawline. "Free him."
"I wish to be a genie after I free him."
"Granted," he said, as he handed him the lamp and his mist surrounded them both.
