"Your wish is now granted." He grunts

"Oh Djinn!" my eyes squeezed shut

I howled like a dog in heat. I grabbed a hold of his body as I came so hard I lost my breath. I collapsed; now back on Marshall's bed out of breath. My head cushioned by a pillow I drift into sleep drained of energy.

Towards morning the Djinn in the form of Marshall plants a hand on Alas's forehead. She opens her eyes, the memory of last night still fresh.

"What happened last night?"

"I gave you what you asked for."

Marshall takes a seat on the edge of the bed.

"That was something else."

Alas points a finger at him.

"It was your wish—for me to make love to you."

"But you turned into a Djinn! I'm not joking around Marshall was I dreaming?"

"You were not dreaming. Make your second wish." Says a gruesome voice

The voice is so deep it looks odd to be coming from Marshall's mouth.

"Then you are the Djinn. It's been you this whole time!"

Alas stands on the other side of the bed.

"Sadly it was not until previously I came into possession of this body."

"You killed….Marshall."

Alas cups a hand over her mouth to keep from throwing up. This demon had done everything I dreamed. He was real and standing right here in the room with me. Marshall could be lying, making up this whole thing but how did he make that voice?

"Expendable as most life is."

"Stay away from me!"

I was chilled to the bone with fear. Tears were welling in my eyes. Was there a way to trick him and make him think that I wasn't afraid? Was there a way to scare him into leaving me alone?

The Djinn remains on the bed giving Alas a creepy smile. Watching every move she makes toward the door but not making any attempts to stop her.

Alas stops in the bedroom doorway. Why wasn't he moving he was watching her fixed to the spot? Did he know something I did not? Was there something worse awaiting me if I ran?

"I don't want any more of your fucked up wishes!"

"My dear Alas I cannot leave until we are finished."

"We are finished!"

Alas bolts for the door. The Djinn appears blocking the exit. Alas leaps back screaming. She can't see another way out so she backs into a wall and for some reason she can't move her legs and further. She doesn't dare to take her eyes off the Djinn for a second.

The Djinn smiles at Alas now in his true form and she almost wets her pants. William is not William anymore he's in the form of a creature. His eyes glow and bore so deep one would mistake them for balls of fire; he has green and black skin like that of a lizard or some other reptile. Two cord-like horns hang from each side of his head that sweep behind each ear. Five fingers on each hand except they are covered with small bits of armor. He also wears a metallic armor from the waist down. His chest and face is adorned with symbols and spiral scars. Thin black lips pull back forming a smile revealing little jagged teeth. At that moment out of thin air the gem appears in his hand. His smile only gets wider as he smells the all too familiar scent of fear that eludes from Alas. His little jagged teeth perfectly in a row seem to shine as bright green saliva cascades over them.
