I’m fine. I promise you. Pfeiffer screamed at her to die. “I’m sorry, I can’t do that. I want you to know it makes me happy that I never got around to making sure you were immortal. I wish I had gotten to Rachel and Sally. It’s a real shame you had to kill them off. I don’t suppose you’re like those talking killers, are you? Where you confess everything to the person you kill off right before the police arrive?”

“What is wrong with you? Can’t you just die? Fucking bitch. You’ve always had everything, haven’t you? All the money. The beautiful skin. No stretch marks would ever harm your body if you were ever to get knocked up. Little Miss CJ. Always the perfect person, even when I wanted you to be angry.” CJ asked her why she’d be angry. “You never cared when I killed Robert. Do you have any idea how many times I left out the poison for you to see or find? What about being pissed that our parents are dead? You didn’t shed a single tear for their demise either, did you? Miss Perfect.”

“I did cry when your parents died. So you killed them as well. Why would you do that? What did they ever do to you?” Pfeiffer told her. “So bringing me into your family, that was the reason you hated them. I don’t know if you realize this or not, but they didn’t know I wasn’t their child.”

“Oh, but they did. I told them as I killed them. Made them realize what a burden they’d brought down on us. They certainly understood how upset I was at the end. I made sure of it.” CJ could only stare at Pfeiffer. She’d been holding onto this grudge for that long? She asked her what her daughters had done to her. “Stretched out my body. But the thing that had me killing them both today was that they figured it out. Finally, someone could see my hard work. Now all I have to do is kill you, and things will be perfect for me.”

“Doubtful you’d find anything to be perfect, Pfeiffer. You seem like a person who would never be satisfied even if you had everything you ever wanted. You’d be finding fault with it as well.” Smiling at her, she felt like this was more than she thought would happen when coming here today. “You’re the one that had it all as far as I can remember. You had your parents. Your husband, though he wasn’t much of a person. At least you led me to believe that. Now that I’m thinking, you never did allow me to see him for what he really was, did you? Then there are your daughters. They loved you, you know. I guess your little maneuvers were more than they thought their dear mother was capable of.”

“You should have seen their faces. When I hit Rachel in the head with the axe, I was sure Sally was going to jump me. But all she did was stare at her sister until she was joining her on the floor. Knocking her in the head seemed anticlimactic after all my planning to get here. But they were both out of my hair. I might well have gone a little overboard in killing them, but there wasn’t going to be any getting back up again for them. It was a wonderful feeling being able to take all my frustrations out on them. Now it’s your turn.” CJ asked her about Rachel being hurt in the car accident. “Well, of course, I did that too. It worked just the way I wanted it to. Brought you to me so I could finish this once and for all.”

Come in if the police are satisfied with it all. I’m sick with all this.

Don entered right behind the police. CJ held Pfeiffer in a holding pattern with her magic so no one else would be hurt. The police then went to the upper floors to check on the bodies of the other two while Don took her outside into the fresh air. Making sure that her wounds were healed, CJ let Don hold her. It was the best medicine in the world if you asked her.

Melisandre thought this was one of the best ideas she’d ever had. Once this thing with Pfeiffer was finished, she could move on with her life. Get things in order and try and figure out the meaning of her life.

Everyone had their own idea as to what their meaning to life was. She’d known that all her life but had somehow forgotten about it. Now that she’d been given a new start, a new beginning, Melisandre was going to make sure she lived every day like it was her last. Make every second count and have fun while on her way.

“You wanted to see me?” Smiling at CJ, she asked her to have a seat. “This is nice. I didn’t know you owned a home on this side. I love the bright and bold colors. You should have been an interior designer or something.”

“I’ll have to add that to my list of things to try. I’m retiring. Well, not retiring, but leaving my position as queen of faeries for good.” She loved that she could shock CJ. Especially when she knew CJ had seen so much more than she had in life. “I’ve spoken to Aurora, and she said she would support me in what I wanted. You know how hard I took the fact that Cody, someone you thought you could trust, had been out to have you murdered. It bothers me on so many levels how I was so blind to it.”

“It’s not like I did any better with noticing things. I sometimes find myself thinking of how we grew up. The little things I’m only just now seeing the way I should have right away. It’s hurtful
