had a way of finding the best shells in the dimensions she occupied.
    What was she doing here? This place was his . He'd been summoned by the Outsiders, he'd defeated them, been born into a human body, and been working his plan ever since.
    She smirked and walked forward. "Quite the little set up you have here brother. It's comfy-cozy." She looked around with a dismissive air to her eyes. "I can see why this whole thing is taking so long. You're too comfortable here."
    He tried to keep his expression bored. One hint of aggravation would lead to an all out war between the two of them. That would get in the way of all of the lovely souls on the planet being enslaved to him and ultimately devoured for his amusement and nourishment.
    "This isn't taking longer than I predicted. When the pesky Outsiders first summoned me here, I told all of you it was a thirty to forty year job. You can't get any more productive than me. I had killed off all but a portion of the Outsiders before I had lived a year in this body."
    She nodded and stepped forward. "That is true. It was quite impressive. But the last twenty-eight years have been an utter disaster."
    " They vanished ." Sebastian took a deep breath and tried not to push fire through his eyes. "Abraxas sent the children off into the open and the only three who even knew they were Outsiders vanished with Veli Destrand, who is dead, I might add, thanks to me ."
    "I wasn't here one day when I found my own Outsider. I have him captured."
    Sebastian narrowed his eyes. She had what? "Who do you have?"
    "Who cares what its human name is? Jason something, um, Jason Randall. He's a body-controller."
    Tucking his hands behind his neck, he tried to hide his excitement but feared she could hear his pulse rate rise. "You have a body controller? He can actually manipulate and control others from the inside, out?" He turned his back on his sister and walked to the bed. Turning around, he smiled. "Give him to me." He could use that right now.
    "No, he's mine. Put the idea out of your head, unless you're going to give me your two Outsiders."
    Now she'd made him mad. Feeling the flames, he knew his eyes glowed red and he didn't try to stop them. "What are you even doing here?"
    "I've decided this dimension was deserving of a little competition, and I'm tired of watching you bumble around, so I've decided to come in and take over. I'm going to control this dimension and you can just leave it."
    If he could, he'd blow her up right now. But then he would have, as the humans said, let the cat out of the bag. "If you want to compete, Sister, I'm always up for it." It had been a while since they'd had a really good smack-down, break-everything-around-them, kill-the-competition match of powers.
    "Good. Then we agree whichever one of us captures and kills the most Outsiders wins. We'll fry them all up at the end as food."
    That worked for him. Especially because she didn't know anything about the island where the four, now five, Outsiders lived. He knew where it was. Not to mention he had Alexa, and hell, Gabriel, if he was desperate.
    "I'm winning. I have two. You have one."
    "For now. It's only a matter of time. I am, after all, twice the evil being you are."
    They would see about that. He'd spent too much time planning to have sister's presence make him fail. Everything would fall into place and he'd eliminate his sister in the process. His day couldn't have gotten better.

    Floating, which was an all together new sensation for him, outside of his old bedroom window; Gabriel could hardly believe his eyes. He'd know Sebastian was very bad. What he had done to that poor girl and now this new bit with his 'sister' put him in a whole new category.
    There were many questions that needed answers and he wished beyond anything that he could just rip Alexa out of there. But he'd have to bide his time. If he wasn't careful, they'd both be dead, and then Sebastian would be left to do whatever horrible thing
