do what I wanted even after death so of course I never believed Grim. Returning to the Living World

          I sat eyeing Grim and Vanessa.  I could hear them whispering about me.  I couldn’t hear everything they were saying I knew that they were trying to plan something against me.  “Why don’t you just say it to my face rather than whisper among each other?” I asked, ticked off.

          Vanessa looked at me.  I could see the world of the living in her eyes as her gaze locked with mine.  “You have no idea how much trouble your in.”

          “Then tell me instead of whispering to the walking skeleton over here.”

          Vanessa rolled her eyes and shook her head.  “You have no clue about anything.  You truly are a demon.”

          “A demon?  I’m a saiyan…. Not a demon.”

          “A saiyan who would still be destroying Egypt if you were still alive,” her words were spoken with venom and anger.  “In other words…. You are a demon.”

          “Vanessa,” Grim’s voice replied as he gently pushed her back down to her seat, “she still has to learn.  Now it’s time for the funeral.”

          “What?” I asked as I looked at him.

          “Why did you have to say that?” Vanessa asked.  “Now she’s….”

          Funeral?  Hm…. Now’s my chance to get revenge.  “I’ll be a good girl,” I replied.  “I want to go and make amends…. Or whatever it is that humans and people with hearts do to apologize for their behavior.”

          “Really?” Grim asked.  He was skeptical but he seem to believe me.

          “No,” Vanessa replied.  “She’s just going---”

          “Vanessa, let her have a chance.  She might be really starting to change.”

          “But---”

          “Please, princess…. Give her a chance…. You may be surprised.”

          “Yes, Vanessa,” I replied with a smile.  “Give me a chance…. A chance to redeem myself.”

          “Fine,” Vanessa sighed but I knew she didn’t believe me.

          “Bye,” I replied as I teleported.

 

          I looked around my old room in the palace and knew that I had to start looking for the others.  It was my chance to do what I should have done in the war.  The chance for revenge was mine and I had tricked Grim and Vanessa into letting me go.  Tommus, it’s your turn to suffer for killing me, I thought as I laughed evilly.

 

          I wondered through the palace till I found my way to the throne room where I had found Death, looking for something.  I hurried over and picked up my sword which I would use when I wanted while I was alive.

Revenge

          I snuck up behind Death, holding the sword tightly in my ghostly grip.  I could feel the fear radiate from him as he felt my cold icy presents.

          “Is anyone there?” he asked with fear in his human voice.

          I held up the sword.  “Look behind you, Death.”

          “Nala….” The fear inside of him was growing and I could sense it as he turned toward me.  “Is that you?”  I knew he could see me even though I was dead and I was going to enjoy the moment.  “That’s impossible,” he said as he began to freak out.  “You’re supposed to be dead.”

          I smiled evilly.  “I am dead.”  I grabbed his neck and shoved him against the wall as I placed the sword to his throat.  “Tell me where Tommus is or I’ll slice your throat,” I threatened.

          “I don’t know where Tommus is.”

          “You’re lying to me….” I was angry.  I figured he was too afraid to give me the whereabouts to where our cousin was.  “Tell me where….”

          “He’s not the one you want….” A voice had come from behind me.  “I’m the one you want.”

          I turned to face Tommus.  It turned out that I didn’t have to look for him anymore which pleased me.

          “If you want to kill someone…. Let it be me.”

          It sounded too good to be true but I didn’t care.  I had my chance and I wasn’t going to let anyone stop me.  It was time.  I went to kill Tommus by sending the blade into his stomach the same way he had done to me but Vanessa appeared in my way and before I could stop myself the blade went into her stomach….

Vanessa

          I sat at the table with Mattie sitting across from me and my father standing in the opening of the kitchen.  I had a small slim white pen in my hand and a small notebook which was lying in front of me.  We were trying to think of lyrics for a new song when I started bobbing my head in tune to what I was thinking.  “I have the first few lines that I think would be amazing,” I told them.

          “Okay,” my father said as he nodded.

          “Let’s here ‘m,” Mattie agreed.

          I took a deep breath and started singing:

 

                                        “I was the princess, daddy’s little girl

                                        Thought that I could rule the world”

 

          I watched as my father and Mattie exchanged worried glances.  “What is it?” I asked.

          “It’s nothing, Vanessa,” my father replied but I had a feeling there was something that they were hiding from me.

          “Only two more years, Uncle Ray,” I heard Mattie whisper which confused but I just shrugged it off.

          Then I watched my father nod.  I had a feeling that whatever they were thinking it had to deal with me someway somehow.

 

                                                            The End
