Part 3

She shouldn't even be alive. She didn't deserve to be living. Crystal knew her stupid parents were all about living together in harmony crap, but the reality of it was freaks like Jean didn't belong in this world, or even the vermin world.

"He's not budging," Paige sighed. "Paris is still totally obsessed."

Crystal nodded. She and Paige lay on sun-loungers in Crystal's backyard the following evening. "We should have killed her years ago."

The only one who would even notice Jean was gone was Paris, and he would be in need of comfort. It was a shame the freak had managed to snare him with her evil magic. Paris was gorgeous and deserved a real woman. Well, Crystal thought, smiling to herself, without Jean in the way, she would be perfect, and there to help him get over her. "We'll never pull this off with Paris around," she said, thinking out loud. "That boy practically /breathes/ for her."

Paige nodded in agreement. "I'll keep him busy."

"How are we going to get Jean alone? She doesn't come anywhere near us," Venetia pointed out.

Crystal frowned, that was a point. Jean knew now to never get in Crystal's way. Every time she saw Crystal or one of her friends she quickly changed her direction. The only classes she shared with Jean were math and computer lab. Venetia was in band with Jean, but not in the same instrument group.

"Just tell her Paris wants to meet her somewhere, and I'll do the rest," Paige suggested. "We'll get someone to give her a note or something. Then you can deal with her."

It wasn't the most original plan Crystal had never heard, but it was a plan that worked. She knew, she'd used it herself more than once. "Do that then. Get her to my family's cabin by Lake Eremeya. We'll take care of her there."

Venetia and Paige nodded. By disposing of Jean, Crystal firmly believed she would be doing the world a favour.
