The boy had been so innocent and naïve, brokenhearted over a woman he could never hope to keep.

K’tanya had been bored, and he was cute, so she thought to see how much he really knew about himself. Shifting into Bliss, complete with angelic wings, she had taken it upon herself to show him the possibilities.

Eventually she had gotten bored yet again, and so had left him with a kiss and an Immortal puppy to keep him company.

If she had only known what her game would lead to in the future, she might have left well enough alone.

K’tanya hadn’t been this excited about a second date with a guy in long time. Not only was the guy hot, but he was also the closest she had come to the absolute perfect man.

He always seemed to have exactly what she wanted at any given time. On their very first date he had the tickets to that thing she liked, and then he had showered her with diamonds before riding along the beach on white horses.

Sure, he seemed obsessed with being clean, but that was okay because she thought every man should smell like her new man.

K’tanya hadn’t meant to obliterate the entire city and surrounding countryside. It had been an accident really, just the fallout of an argument that had gotten a little bit too heated. If he had just kept his snarky words and ‘been there, done that’ attitude to himself in the first place then she wouldn’t have gotten so angry, and everything would have been fine.

She swore as she pulled herself free of the rubble and surveyed the damage that she would never again live so close to such a hothead.

And Pompeii had been such a nice little vacation spot.
