I looked over to where the voice was coming from, it was Hina. "Run Jason." I whispered.

"Really Circe? He cannot run now, and I think he should see what your powers can really do."

I faced her, "No, Hina leave him out of this. You came to kill me and I will give you a fight. Just leave him out of this."

Jason came to my side, "Who is she?"

Hina's gaze rested upon him, "I'm Hina, I am the same race as her. And I have quite the grudge against her."

My muscles tensed. "Why?" Jason asked.

"Jay some stories aren't meant to be heard." I whispered to him.

He ignored me, "Hina, how old are you?"

"Ten of course! I have a feeling that the next question will be why I have a grudge?" Jason nodded for her to continue.

"Well Jay, she-" I threw her back.

"Circe?" Jason gave me a look.

"Don't watch this Jason." I whispered. I had to get rid of Hina. I took off a branch from a nearby tree and I looked and saw Jason's shocked face. I had to keep him safe. I brought down the branch on Hina. It stopped inches away from her.

I looked and saw her Chiwa's but, they were black, yet they kept the ghostly twinge. What the hell.

I used all of my strength to force the branch down, it wouldn't move. I ran toward her and grabbed another stick. I saw an opening to kill her through. I shoved the stick through the opening. She rolled out of the way. The big branch fell to the ground.

Hina gave me a maniacal smile. I felt a pang of fear, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

"Never let your guard down Circe." I looked down and saw the stick lodged in my stomach.

"Bitch." I groaned and I fell to my knees, and passed out.

I awoke on a beach. This place.

"I'm dead aren't I?" I asked aloud, expected Chiwa to answer.

"Well, I don't know." Chiwa appeared behind me.

I turned and stared at her, today her hair was an icy blue. "Am I? You should know."

She smirked, "You've cheated death quite a few times though, I don't know if I am able to help this time." Then a frown appeared on her face. "I thought you would be it."

"Wait, you have helped me survive?" I asked, I took a look at my stomach, it was flawless, no blood, no scar.

"Not everyone visits my beach Circe. You were meant to be our Queen."

"Me? Really? I can't do that! I want to have a normal life!"

"I am not saying you can't, well technically I am." she sighed.

I bit my lip, "Well I guess I'm dead now."

"Haven't you listened to me? I said I can keep you alive." Chiwa said twirling a piece of her ice blue hair.

"You haven't been direct with it." I mumbled.

Her gaze snapped on me, "This time though, it will take a price."

"Why would I do that? I mean I won't have the life I want."

"Let me finish!" Chiwa yelled, the whole beach shook. "Now, you can live with Jason. You can live, but when you awaken you have to kill Damien, Hina, and all the guards. It'll be easy." she snapped at the end.

"Easy? How? Hina killed me once, she would do it again." I sighed.

Chiwa shook her head, "Such a pessimist. You'll wake up as the True Queen your power will be, as you could say, infinite. I will awaken as well."

"I can live with Jason?" I asked her hopefully.

"If fate allows it." Chiwa sighed. "You ready to be Queen?"

I stood up, "Wasn't I always?" My thoughts became sharp and defined, with one thought in mind.

KILL.
