Tales of the Past: Mina
"In a castle on the planet of Venus was a fair princess,
She had everything she could ever want sitting in her lap,
But still she wasn't happy; she was a bitter princess…
She had a sister who was just as beautiful as she, for they looked alike, and were twins
We will call this princess Jennifer and her sister will be called Elizabeth for safety issues
Jennifer and Elizabeth constantly fought,
They fought about toys, clothes, and the prince of the Sun
For purposes I cannot name I'll call this prince Travis
Anyway, their fights were the things of legend
One day while Jennifer was visiting a friend Travis came for a visit
Travis came looking for Jennifer but was disappointed when he found only Elizabeth
Elizabeth had been expecting this and was prepared with a great plot
You see Elizabeth was in love with Travis, but alas Travis had only eyes for Jennifer
Being from Venus gave a certain advantage to the woe begotten princess
She had the ability to make any man she wanted fall in love with her
Jennifer had made her promise never to use such powers on Travis
Because Jennifer too loved Travis
Elizabeth couldn't be bothered with silly childhood promises and made an elaborate plan
A plan to capture the unknowing Travis in a web of her making
She planned to steal Travis away from her perfect sister
While Jennifer was visiting the afore mentioned friend Elizabeth started her seduction
She took him to the immense botanical garden Venus is so famous for
Then to the vast providence of Atlantis they went
After that they went to a gourmet restaurant
All under the pretense that they were looking for Jennifer
When night had fallen Elizabeth took Travis back to the castle to bed
She took him to her room and that is where she claimed him as her own
She cast a spell that made the poor Prince Travis fall deeply in love with her
They slept together and then morning came
And with it came Jennifer
Jennifer flew into Elizabeth's room and just as quickly as she came she left
Jennifer ran to the garden where she cried and cried until she could stand it no longer
She knew they had to pay
She knew that she was the only one who could do it too
Months later on the wedding day of her sister to her love she choose to act
After the wedding festivities Jennifer, with a fake smile, helped the couple to bed
With her eating knife in hand she slaughtered her sister in cold blood
Because Travis drank too much he was slow to realize just what had happened
And had he been faster he would still be alive,
For he too received the sharp end of Jennifer's knife
In the end Jennifer took her own life with the same knife in that same room
That is truly how the princess of Venus died the first time"
We all watched as Mina turned away again, I had a feeling that that is exactly what had happened to her
But we would never know that because we would never ask
We may be more distant than we had been but we still had eyes to see she would never be the same Mina we had known
She would now be that Jennifer who had killed the only things she had ever loved.
