-I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
…
But that was when I ruled the world-
Bella was mumbling under her breath when she reached the end of the staircase and came through the door to find her sister drawing a sketch of her future design for a dress she would submit to her costly tailor. She slumped down on the sofa cross-armed next to her sister and looked at her, lips pouting, trying to get her attention.
"Hello Bella. Having a problem?"
"Yes, I'm having one hell of a problem." She whined while her pout accentuated.
Cissy sighed but said patiently. "Go ahead, tell me about it." She had dropped her drawing and pen and was giving all her interest to Bella.
"Well. You know how I had no trouble tracking down my preys, torturing them to get information, sometimes just out of pleasure, or killing them?"
Cissy rolled her eyes to the ceiling. "I think you still have this 'wonderful' gift, my sister." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You don't understand!" Bella almost shouted like a pissed off four-year old. "That's precisely my problem! I've lost it, I've lost my talent for slaughter, Cissy."
"Didn't you kill our cousin just last summer?"
"Yes. But that was lame life-taking. My maestria was not even neared that night."
"Okaaaay…" Narcissa remembered the old saying: Never try to argue with a fool. "Why don't you wait for next time and see if you can do better then?"
"I can't wait, Cissy! You don't get it!" Bella tapped her foot aggressively on the floor before standing up and pacing in front of her sister. She paused and looked into Cissy's eyes. If she had not known better she could have sworn her unstable sister was on the verge of tears.
"I don't even feel it anymore."
"What?"
"Their pain. You know, the wonderful feeling I got from watching them suffer. It's all gone."
Cissy shrugged her shoulders, still staying her elegant self though. "I really don't know what to tell you Bella, this is so foreign to me. I don't know any valuable advice to give you on how to enjoy torturing people."
Bella groaned and left the room, obviously annoyed by her sister's lack of support.
"How about some herb tea to calm you?" Narcissa called after Bella, only to be answered by a door shutting hard, almost threateningly so for its hinges.
Narcissa smiled to herself. She did enjoy teasing her sister, especially when she was in this disarrayed state. Well, everyone had their own kinds of pleasure, no?
