Chapter 19
Phoenix
Right so yeah! You read that right I am a Phoenix an immortal bird, a part of Greek mythology while the phoenix is connected to other human cultures like Egyptian, Persian and what not I am not cyclically regenerated. I rise from the ashes or flames when I die however there is only so many times that I can do it. How many you ask? Who the hell knows.
For as long as there has been supernatural’s we have been around Phoenix’s were and are considered the most powerful creature in existence even more so than the likes of vampires. You see we can only really be killed by living our natural span of life.
Many years ago, the Royals tried to kill the Phoenix’s off however while they did get quiet a few of us mostly the elderly many still survived but instead of seeking revenge they hid because you see with the way medicine is these days along with poisons it is easy to weaken a super to the point that you can easily kill them off. But there is one thing that that the human mythology text got right we were meticulous in detail, we would build nest, our feathers were bight gold, yellow and orange whilst they believe it was to represent the sun it was just our fire. You see we are super powerful our songs can stop the sun we can also open gateways into the heavens which is a skill that many would kill for.
Under our rule it was said that supers lived the life of paradise and peace and that with every thousand years a new creature would be born. Some believed that we were the saviours while others believed that we were the demons that would take away free will apparently not everyone wanted to live in paradise and not everyone wanted to be safe.
The current Royals decided that they wanted power to stop their bland existence so they poison and tried to murder off my kind and they all but did. You see for every feather that we lose we lose the ability to regenerate a life. So when so many of us were killed and poisoned it damaged us slightly while we always were kind and majestic we became a little bit more angry and bitter and now vengeful that we want to make them all pay.
It was written that a Phoenix would be born of pure flame and that together with trusting allies the Phoenix would use her ultimate power and would burn the super world to the ground to rebuild what was broken.
My ancestors have waited a long time for this rebirth but the thing is I am not sure I want to rebuild the world. I want to make the people that hurt Hennessy pay and I want to live outside where I can stretch and fly whenever the feeling takes me. But Hennessy is good, she doesn’t like to hurt people while I love making them suffer and I want her to understand that not everyone can be saved but she isn’t ready to listen yet she isn’t ready because the Sib’s have always kept her safe. As I fly over the mountains and towards the cottage I thank my lucky stars that this is neutral territory and that no one can come onto the ground without Tito’s, Tennessee’s, Jameson’s and London’s permission something that they set in motion years ago when they formed their treaty. Seeing the cottage approach I swoop down and come to a stop just outside the door.
Opening the door and walking in, I make my way to the bedroom but stop short when I see the twit standing in front of me.
“Who the hell are you?” The twit mutters
“What are you doing in this house?” I snarl back and take a step towards her.
“I….I am hear on Alpha Tito’s orders” the twit mumbles
“Lair” I shout taking a anger step towards her.
I can’t take her bullshit anymore. She knows that she is not allowed in this house, how she got in means that she has the help of black magic just like me.
“Get out and don’t come back” I snarl as I continue to walk towards her.
I get a strong smell of urine before I look down and notice that I made her pee her pants. I can’t help the happy dance that takes over my body I dance from foot to foot laughing and pointing at her. I know that I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself. The little twit is scared of me. Still laughing at her I make my way into the kitchen and pour myself some water. I hear bones cracking and clothes tearing as the twit wolfs out and comes charging at me. Though before she can touch me Tito grabs her by the back of the neck and bite down. I hear Skky whimper and cry but no one shows and once of care. I continue to drink my water and raise an eyebrow at her.
I can feel Tennessee right beside me staring deeply at me and touching my flame, he keeps saying ouch but he won’t stop touching me. Rolling my eyes I look at him and raise my eyebrow again at him.
“What? You’re so pretty I need to touch” Tennessee says while shrugging his shoulders.
Rolling my eyes, I look back at Tito and Skky. They haven’t moved I guess it is a battle of the strong which we all know that Skky will lose. The knocking at the door interrupts my thoughts as I look at the door and see the Beta walking in.
“Take her to the dungeon and do not let her out” Tito snarls as he throws Skky towards the Beta.
“Certainly Alpha” the Beta says
“Use the wolfbane cuffs and the silver cuffs as well” Tito says as he looks Skky dead in the eye.
As Skky is still in wolf form, she can’t talk back with her mouth but if her eyes are any indication than I would say that she is saying plenty.
“I will deal with her later. Also, you didn’t see anything here” Tito says as he watches his Beta and Gamma pull Skky out the front door.
“Never do Alpha” the Beta replies and walks away.
“Tennessee, I swear if you don’t stop touching me, I am going to singe your hand off.” I snap at Tennessee.
“So pretty” Tennessee responds. Letting my flame out a little more I do in fact singe Tennessee’s hand.
“Ouch” Tennessee screams while jumping around.
“You were warned” Jameson, London and Tito respond before taking a seat.
“Can you tell us what happened” Tito asks while everyone continues to look at me.
