"Bullshit! You, treaty?" Tasha yelled out and Shane shot her a look.

"What are you doing? We’re not supposed to antagonize her"

Expecting Jodi to retaliate in a fiery rage as normal, Shane was shocked when she heard a broken laugh from the Empress.

"Can’t a woman be capable of change?"

Tasha was about to say another smart remark when Shane stared her down, silently telling her to be silent. Jodi laughed again.

"Look, I mean you all no harm. Considering my army I could have crushed you a long time ago if I wanted to. I just want to talk"

"Yeah? So why bring the army? Not really a good choice for someone wanting a union. You seem more threatening than anything. And what do you want with Bette?"

Jodi crossed her arms over her chest as she grew impatient. That was more her style and to think Shane was beginning to worry.

"My intentions with her is no one’s business but if you must know, I miss my little pet. I wish to speak to the King and take Bette back home with me"

Shane placed her hands on the stone opening, laughing as she shook her head, "You’re kidding right? You’re not getting Bette"

Knowing Shane personally, Jodi easily grew upset at the brunette’s stubbornness. She shook her head.

"You know what? I changed my mind. Forget the treaty, just bring me Bette and I’ll leave you all alone forever. How’s that sound?"

Shane snorted, "What if I tell you to fuck off? How’s that sound?"

Jodi ran her tongue over her teeth, "Either you tell her to come to me or I take this damn castle down brick by fucking brick"

Tasha’s eyebrows raised at the threat as she leaned close to Shane and mumbled, "Way to go Shane. You could see the fucking smoke coming out of her ears"

Shane’s eyes widened in realization, "Shit you’re right"

Tasha turned around and looked down at Kit, "Get ready Kit!"

Jodi held out her arms as swirls of blue fireballs formed on her palms. She flashed that same crooked smile as her army readied themselves.

"What’s it gonna be Shane?"
