A/N: I'm sorry it's taking me so long to get this chappie up, but I've been in writers block for this, and been working on another ficcy (I haven't even titled it yet!). Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Slayers, and now I know that that show is truly in this ficcy.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*

I opened my eyes and looked around. I knew where I was, and who I was. I was the Mazoku Princess, and was ready to destroy the human race. I reveled as I wondered what all those humans' emotions would taste like. I noticed I was lying on an ornamental four-poster bed. I also noticed a young man with purple shoulder length hair, his eyes were closed. I recognized him immediately.

"Hello, Xellos," I said, my voice sounding cold and evil. I liked it.

Xellos stood up and bowed. "Hello, your highness," he said. I smiled cruelly.

"And, where is Beastmaster?" I asked.

"I'm right here, your highness," said the recognizable voice that belonged only to Zelas. "What is your command?"

"I want to know where my mother is," I said, getting up from the bed. I saw the admiration in Xellos' face; I wonder what that's about.

"She is coming, she felt the magic I used to-to change you," Zelas said, almost nervously.

I narrowed my eyes. "And there is a problem with my mother?"

"N-no, your highness! Not one!"

I wasn't convinced. "Better not be," I murmured angrily.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! I heard someone downstairs and smiled. "Mother's here," I whispered.

"Xellos!" Zelas growled at the priest. "Get the door for our guest!" Xellos nodded and left swiftly.

"Why didn't you get it?" I asked, voice dangerously low.

"I-I wanted to see how you were feeling," Zelas said in a fast, nervous voice. My eyes narrowed again. "R-really!" she added.

"XELLOS! WHERE DID YOU PUT HER?!" a definite feminine voice shouted from downstairs.

"Filia," Zelas growled. "I'll bet the rest are with her as well."

"SOFIA!" another voice screamed. I heard pounding feet and watched as the door burst open. Standing in the door way was a teenager not much older than me, with really dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was just a few centimeters taller than me. "Sofia!" she said again, taking a step closer to me.

"back off," I said, eyes narrowed. She gasped.

"Sofie." she whispered, "what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me, but something is going to be wrong with you," I said, holding up one of my fingers. She flew up into the air, her eyes wide. I twirled my finger in a circle, she flew up side down.

"SOFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she shouted.

"SOFIA!" said a stern, commanding voice at the door.
"Mother!" I said. There, indeed, stood the Lord of Nightmares, my mother. (*A/N: betcha didn't see that one coming! Of course, you'd know that if you got my hint.*)

"Sofia! Release Cat this instant!" mom said angrily.

I widened my eyes and released the girl.

"OW!!!" the girl groaned as she got up.

I looked at mom. "Mom! I---"

"NO EXCUSES!" mom bellowed. "I'LL NOT STAND FOR IT!"

"But, mom---!"

"NO BUTS! NOT NOTHING!" She grabbed my ear and started pulling me toward the stairs. I have to admit, I was VERY scared. What was going to happen to me? What was mom going to do to me?

"Mom! I didn't---"

"SHUT IT!" she bellowed. I guess she doesn't want an excuse. "Why were you attacking Cat like that?"

"Whose Cat?" I asked. Mom seemed as if she was going to explode.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHOSE CAT?!" she screamed. I think the roof of the palace jumped off the walls. I cringed.

"I---I don't know who this Cat girl is," I stuttered. Mom's eyes widened as something dawned on her.

"You're a Mazoku?" she asked quietly, 'What's with the sudden change in attitude?' I wondered.

I nodded. "Yeah."

Mom cursed, then yelled, "ZELAS!!!!!" the Beastmaster rushed into the room. "Did you change Sofia?"

"Y---yes, your majesty, I---I did," Zelas whispered.

Mom nodded. "CHANGE HER BACK NOW!!!!!!!!!!!" Every one jumped probably about 10 to 20 feet into the air. Zelas whispered another word, and everything blacked out again.

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
