The Genie's Curse

Chapter 4

"what is it." Tsuru asked annoyed by her sudden call.

Elvira sighed as she was relieved to see Tsuru come out, "you weren"t answering when I called."

"So? I want some me time too." Tsuru stated.

"One would think you had enough you time in 300 years" Allon announced annoying Tsuru.

"Watch that tong or I might just make it disappear." Tsuru threatened.

Allon rolled his eyes at her, "were nearly home."

"Mom will be relieved to see us." Evira spoke looking at Allon.

"Why don"t you just wish things back to normal?" Tsuru questioned staring at the trees through the window.

Evira looked back at her, "wouldn"t that be wrong? You know changing the course of time can be dangerous."

"Says who? You mortals." Tsuru said as she snickered, "That"s why you never get anywhere in life."

Allon laughed along with her, "says the one who"s been trapped in a lamp for 300 years."

"I swear you keep bringing that up and I"ll cut your tongue off" Tsuru threatened once more.

They were silent as Allon and Evira didn"t dare to say a word. Tsuru grew tired of the silence and spoke, "Why where you both at that camp?"

"We always go to that camp at summer." Evira states, "it"s tradition."

" tradition huh." Tsuru said remembering the games she played with her brother. Those nights they went with no sleep just to play games together. Even if there was working to do he would always spend time with her, "that"s nice." She said unconsciously.

Evira herd her words and asked, "have you ever had traditions?"

Tsuru nodded figuring she"d be honest for once, "I have."

Evira looked at Tsuru"s face noticing how happy she was for once, "What type of tradition?" She asked curiously.

Tsuru started to become annoyed once more of Evira, "Doesn"t matter its in the past, besides it doesn"t concern you."

Evira sighed as she wasn"t going to pressure. She guessed there must have been something bad happen to her and that"s why she didn"t want to talk about herself.

Allon looked at Tsuru through the car mirror, "Wow one would think being a genie would give you manners, guess I thought wrong."

"Don"t you ever shut up?" Tsuru questioned as se glared daggers at him.

Allon looked back at the road, "one question and ill shut up. What"s the origin of genie"s?"

Tsuru"s eyes widen in surprise of his question thinking, "Where have I heard that question before..." She kept thinking but nothing came to mind, so she just answered, "It"s a long story."


"Come on tell us." Evira said interested in the subject.

Tsuru sighed figuring she would tell them, "long ago, I don"t remember exactly how much time, but I lived in Arabia, I was a normal human just like you. But people where disappearing and as I went out one day... I saw the lamp. I thought it had been thrown away and figured it would be worth something. I lived in poverty after all and decided to grab it. But that was a terrible decision it consumed me and gave me a contract to be a genie." As she spoke she became melancholier by each word.

Allon was silent as Evira spoke, "What about your family?"

Tsuru looked at her in anger. Wasn"t it obvious, "Their long gone by now." She spoke bitterly.

Evira kept quiet for a while as she didn"t dare to say a word.

"We"re here." Allon announced as he stopped the car and got out.

Tsuru went in the lamp and Evira walked out as well, "Mom." She said as she ran into a woman"s embrace.

"Evira, Allon I"m so glad you"re both alright." The woman spoke as she released Evira from her grasp and lead them inside.

As they spent their family time Tsuru listened but didn"t pay attention as she tried to figure out who Allon had reminded her off.

"He reminded me of... Bilal..." Tsuru"s eyes widen at the realization, "My first master... this cant be a coincidence... their too alike."
