Jeannie could feel the tears streaming down her face. They came down even
harder when she felt Tony's hand touch hers. She looked over and saw that
he too was crying.
"Why do you want me so bad mother? Please just tell me."
Lavana sighed like she was getting annoyed. "Do you really want to know?"
Without looking up she replied, "Yes."
"Alright. This has been my plan since the beginning. You must realize it is nothing personal, but I want to be queen and nothing will stand in my way. Not even you my love. So, my plan was to get you to be queen so I will be the only rightful heiress. Then, I would kill you and become queen. It is simple really. And you cannot back down now because I am not afraid to kill, especially not humans."
"How can you be so horrible? Do you care nothing for anybody but yourself?"
"Of course I do Love."
"Like who? Name one person."
"Well," she cocked her head and tried to look innocent. "It does not matter. All that matters is that you have a choice to make. Either I kill Major Nelson and get you to be queen by means of force, or you agree to do it and he leaves unharmed. What will it be?"
"How about, let 'em go!" Said a feminine, slightly irritated voice.
Everyone looked but Jeannie found her voice first. "Sister! Wh- why? When? How?"
The woman ignored her. "I said let 'em go. I want a reaction." When Lavana didn't move she clarified. "Now!" Her hand was in the steady position of a deadly spell. It was like she had a gun. Slowly Lavana moved away raising her arms and smiling.
"Love, why do you do this to me?"
"Me? Me? You think I am the one doing things to you? Look first, you want her to be queen and not me, second I don't even know if you know my name you spend so much time with her, and third, I am the one who should be queen. Not you. So step aside please, and let 'em go."
Lavana moved away but you could see in her eyes she had a deadly scam already cooked up. "Look my Love, if you are really going to do this, at least take my necklace. It is a sign of true power." Now Jeannie (and by Jeannie I mean Tony's Jeannie's sister) was always way to greedy to be able to resist any jewelry of any sort, bent down to have the necklace clasped around her neck. Fatal mistake. Her mother had pulled her into another headlock and had the knife to her throat. "I am tempted to cut your throat now, but my instincts tell me save it for later. Now get with the rest of them."
