Storm whirled around violently in an attempt to shake off her attacker, but Crystal held her fast.
"If you try to do that, I'll kill you even slower and even more painfully," Crystal snarled.
Storm had no choice but to stop thrashing. "What do you want?" she asked.
"To kill you," Crystal growled. "Duh," she added in a much less menacing but still sinister manner.
"No, but why do you want to kill us?" Storm peered into her sister's mind.
You're the 'cool' older sister that's all popular and pretty and everything, Crystal was thinking, and I'm just that little baby sister who's so annoying and who no one wants to play with!
Storm felt a surge of anger roar in her. "Who said I'm all great and perfect and everything? You're just overreacting!"
Crystal released her grip on Storm's neck, if only for a second. "YOU CAN READ MINDS?!" she yelped.
"Who's so stupid and shallow and unsuspecting now?" Storm shouted.
Storm took advantage of this moment of surprise to twist free of Crystal's choke hold. But her sister pinioned her to the wall with her gaze.
"If you even try to move the tiniest bit, I can breathe ice at you. And let's just say that you'll be the end of you." Crystal's voice was deadly calm.
Storm said, "And what does that matter? Everyone knows you're a liar. You aren't anything more than a little annoying sister!"
Crystal's expression flashed from surprise to anger to sorrow. Then she grabbed Storm's throat in a strangle hold again, squeezing with all her strength. The world spun into darkness.
