"You really enjoy this too much," Quinn said, watching as her eyes turned back. "I'm proud of you."

Max smiled at him. "She just couldn't be grateful."

He combed through her wild hair. "You were such the right choice, Max."

Different with him, she thought, then with Kenny. Even back when I first changed, I could be this new me so easily with him...I wasn't afraid. I don't have to hide it with Kenny now, I can make him accept me. We can be a family...I can be a mom. I won't hurt him. Ever. I'm different, I'm changing, I feel the darkness in me. Kenny loves me. "I should check on Kenny."

"Check?"

She smiled. "He loves me."

You don't love him, Quinn thought, you'll keep him, play with him and tire of him eventually. The start of your long life. "He always did."

"Oh," she said, as he pulled her close to him. "I like this too."

"We are two of seven. I like us teaming up," Quinn said. "The others, Max, we could rule the Jinn."

"We have no ruler. We're seven."

Loyal, Jinn, he thought, so new and fresh still, even in my arms. "They're ready to go. We control the new ones. You and me, Max."

"You and me?" she smiled. "Oh, I'm not ready for that. I really like...I like this. Just being a Jinn."

He kissed her, enjoying her in his arms. "Stay with me a bit, Max. I like this."

"Me too."

"You're different. We are different from the others."

The cold and dark, Max thought, what I felt today. It's in me, I'll become it eventually. I see it in the elders...Noelle chose me because I'm brave and strong and that's what it feeds on. I like it too, when I feel what I am. "Kenny can wait for me."

Kim took a steadying breath, looking around her empty home. Kenny, my kids, she thought, those genies. Max is a genie? She looked, acted, she's evil. She did that to my Mom, she stole my husband and kids, and they're gone. With her. She's going to hurt them and me. Why didn't they do it then? Magic...I need magic to fight her.

"Did you miss me?" Max asked, draping herself on Kenny's lap and kissing him.

Kenny forgot everything he was thinking and kissed her back. "Yes. I always miss you, Max."

She stroked his cheek and looked into his eyes. "Our children are here."

He nodded, as she snuggled closer to him. "You're a wonderful mother."

She smiled looking at them playing happily on her patio. They are cute, she thought, I did want a houseful of these. They'll serve us well. My family now. Look at Kenny, 15 years older, going gray, a bit of potbelly...not who I remember. Smiling, she kissed him again. "Tell me you love me."

"I love you, Max."

He does, she thought, he can't resist me. Kissing him again, she let her magic work on him. Quinn told me what he wanted to make me into, she thought, the perfect companion for him, like Kenny will be for me. Hmm, Quinn...Smiling she watched as Kenny's body grew firmer. "I like this."

"Max?" he murmured, as his youth returned and his hair darkened again. "What are you doing?"

She waved her hand, making his shirt vanish, as she touched the eight-pack she gave him. "Much better."

"What did you do?"

Better than I remember, she thought, looking at the gorgeous companion she created. Giggling, she tightened his jeans. "You're mine, Kenny. I fixed you."

What, he thought, looking at his new body before back at her. She changed me, like Kim...this thing...she isn't...she has me and my kids. "Max, wait."

"You don't like it? I made you the man I remember."

He stared at her. Jinn, she's something not human, she… "Max? What do you do when you're gone?"

"Humans call me. I grant their desires."

"That's all?"

"It's what I am, Kenny."

"And Kim?"

She sighed. "I did not grant hers. There are seven of us. Another did her bidding."

"Why you? Why did the Jinn choose you?"

I passed their tests. Brave. Strong. Kind. Things the dark feeds on, she thought. "I had what they needed. I passed the tests they chose. Once they chose me, it was inevitable they would change me."

"Did it hurt?"

"A bit. I was more scared because I didn't know what was happening."

"You could have told me."

"I didn't believe it was happening," Max said quietly. I didn't want to believe what happened to me, and how I felt my humanity fading as I answered my call more and more. "Humans aren't involved in the affairs of Jinn."

"We were together after you changed?"

"For a bit. Until I couldn't deny it anymore. I wanted you to be okay."

"I was never okay without you."

She hugged him tightly to her. "You'll never be without me again."

Kaitlyn, Jimmy thought, looking at his lovely blonde daughter. I missed her. Where is Laurie? We have to tell Laurie. "Hello, Sweetheart."

Kaitlyn shivered, hating herself what she had caused. "Mom is coming back soon."

"Come here."

She stepped back. "It was a mistake, Dad. I'm going to tell Mom."

"No," Jimmy said, staring at her. "I love you, Kaitlyn. We belong together."

"No, Mom loves you. She needs you."

"And I love you. We can go away together. Start a new life."

"You're too old. I want a boy my own age."

"Kaitlyn," he gasped, as the alarms went off and he seized on the bed.

Hmm, Max thought, watching Kenny and his kids on the beach. Why did I want those again? He is so yummy looking right now. Straightening her already perfect gold bikini, she walked down the beach to them. I'm their mom now.

"Mommy!" Ava cried, running to her and hugging her tightly. "Mommy, come play."

Max patted her head. Forever our child, she thought, smiling at Kenny. "What are we playing?"

I want her, Kenny thought, staring at her. She's always practically naked and she gave me this new body. I could get used to this life with her. Max, my sexy Jinn lover, whatever she does when she's not here...she's my Max here. "Pass Mom a paddle, guys."

She turned the paddle over in her hands, looking back at him. "And I do what with this?"

"Hit the ball, Mom," Jason said. "Back to, Dad."

Silly game, she thought, hitting it gently. "Oh."

"I love you, Mom."

Love, Max thought, I can't love. I forgot what it feels like to love. Smiling, she hugged him. "You are the best kid. Go get your dad."

Kim stood in stunned silence. Dad, no...Mom is gone, trapped as a 15-year-old, Dad is dead...Kaitlyn pregnant? She doesn't know yet. Max killed that part of her. Genies destroyed my family.

"It's okay," she said lamely, hugging her brothers. "He didn't suffer."

Zach shook his head. "He was doing better."

Genie, Kim thought, I shouldn't...I can make a deal with them. I just have to do it right this time. I can fix all of this

"Mom and now Dad...I wish they were here."

"Don't make a wish, Zach," Kim said. "Never make a wish. You don't know what is listening to you."

"What?"

"Just don't," she said. "They'll take everything away from you."

Kenny looked at his reflection before back at Max entertaining their kids. She is their mom...she always should have been. Looking at the young man in the mirror. She changed me, I didn't look like this before. Chiseled, no body fat, I look as eerily as attractive as he does. And clothed as little too in nothing but low slung jeans. I'm holding onto something when she's not all over me...companion of a Jinn. I need to know more about Jinn.

"I'm coming, Honey," he said, feeling her desire for him. "Always to you."

Max smiled at him as she made the children vanish into their lavish rooms. Sexy, she thought, perfect for me. This is what we should have been all along. "Do you like what I did?"

"You made me worthy of you."

"Very worthy," Max smiled, stroking his chest. "You enjoy being my companion, Kenny?"

"Very much."

Max nodded, resting her hand on his chest and bronzing his skin a bit to highlight his muscles. Better. "You will do anything for me?"

What am I saying, Kenny thought, her voice is in my head….what is she doing to me? No...I can't resist her. "Anything, Max. I love you."

"You will love me forever. You will never love anyone else."

"Forever, Max," he said, drowning in her eyes and not recoiling when they rolled black. "I love only you."

She smiled at him. "You will always love me."

"Always."

"Good," she smiled, enjoying his devotion. "Pleasure me now."

"What?"

"You mother didn't keep her word," Quinn said, looking at Matthew and Zach Brock. "You're her descendants and you belong to us now."

"What?" Zach asked, as he looked around the room. "Where are we?"

Quinn smiled as the other Jinn swirled in. "Welcome."

Oh, Max thought, looking at the grown Brock boys. They would be ours...Silly me. All seven of us, it's been too long. Feeling the connection with her family, she let it warm her a bit. My family...A part of something bigger than me, the seven of us.

"Max?" Matthew asked, looking at her with the others. "Max?"

She smiled, as she looked at them. "Welcome home."

"Where are we?"

"No bother," Mercutio said. "I'll take this one."

"He always was a brat," Max yawned, looking at Zach. "He'll need some modifications."

"I rather like what you did to your pet," Mercutio said. "We should ride together."

"We should," Max sighed, thinking of Carter in her stables. A fine pet, my kids may enjoy him a bit too. "He may need a mate."

Naughty, Quinn thought, she likes the other Jinn and her new companion. "And the other?"

"He always was more fun," Max sighed. "Lots of trouble from this one."

"Max?" Matthew asked. "What is going on?"

"Oh, Matthew, I'd keep you but I'm rather occupied now," she sighed. "My friends will take very good care of you."

"He's cute," Hoda admitted. "No stables for this one, but I'll keep him."

"Wait!"

"You'll both serve the Jinn," Dante said. "Forever."

Kim paced her empty home, her kids taken, her brothers vanished befor her eyes and her mother trapped as a 15 year old. "I know you can hear me! I want to make a deal!"

"Kim?"

She turned to look at Kaitlyn. "I'm going to fix this for you."

"Mom wants you to come stay with us."

They think Kenny left me and took the kids. That he ran off and...Genies. It's all genies. That evil… "I know you don't remember."

"My mom really needs you."

Mom, she thought, why did she do this? Why is Max a genie? How is she a genie? Why did she get so...she's evil. "I'll be there soon, Kaitlyn."

"Oh, look," Hoda giggled, as she, Tana, Sera and Max huddled together. "Look at her."

Max smiled as she watched Zach slowly morph into a centaur, much like she made Carter into. Just female this time, as he yelled as his human part grew feminine and curvy. "She's lovely like this."

"You need to play with us again, Max. Not just Quinn."

My family, she thought, my Jinn sisters. "I do like to play."

Quinn looked at her wrapped around the others. She has taken to this life, there is nothing human in her, even her fondness for Kenny. "She's calling me."

Max looked at him, not wanting to leave her sisters as Zach finished his transformation. "Is she? Oh, look at her."

He felt his new breasts and looked back at his new mare body as Dante made a bridle appear and caught his scream in his now full mouth. He stroked her mane. "There, girl. You are my mare now."

Zach bucked, kicking his back legs up, as the Jinn laughed. Max sighed as she and Tana cuddled together, enjoying their time. "She's a wild one."

"Look at your sister, Matthew," Max drawled. "Do you like her like this?"

"What are you?" he asked, looking at the scantily clad Jinn. "What did you do?"

Max rested her head on Tana's shoulder. "Oh, your mom betrayed me and now you belong to us. You'll serve the Jinn."

"Mom?"

"You Brocks," Max sighed. "She will join us soon."

"Come," Hoda said, taking his hands. "We will have fun before I decide what to do with you."

Max yawned. Kenny is waiting for me but… Oh, I made him mine nicely.

I can think without her here, Kenny thought, even if it's hard...all I want is her. Look at what she did to me. Jinn...I'm a cop, I can find out about her. Investigate. I look at her and I can't...what did she do to me? What did they turn her into?

"A deal?" Quinn yawned. "You're lucky you amuse me, Mistress."

"Where is Max?"

"She's with her companion and children."

My husband and kids, she thought, what will she...She loved Kenny, she won't hurt him or the kids. "She can keep Kenny. I want...please, my brothers, mom, kids...can you free them? I'll do, become, whatever you want, Genie. They don't deserve this."

Quinn smiled. "Anything?"

She nodded. "Just let them go, leave them alone and...I can take it."

He smiled. "Your family members are serving the Jinn, Mistress. They may not want to give them up."

Kim shivered at that. "I'll serve all of them."

"We are going to have so much fun, Kimberly.
