Welcome to the new book in my series. In this book we will discover some secrets about Phoenix and she will find out secrets about her dad, but first we have to continue from the last chapter of the last book. Hope you enjoy reading my new book.
Chapter 1:
Catching up
It was a perfect night as the warm spring breeze blew across the hill where two dogs where watching the moon rise. One of the dogs was a husky and it had some patches of fur missing, and the other was a Finnish Spitz. Their tails wagged in harmony as they stared at the moon. They seemed deep into what they were doing and was oblivious of the black and white cat sneaking up in between them.
"Phoenix who is this?" Mittens asked.
"Mom this is Max." Phoenix said. "He is the one that helped me get home." she added.
"Hello." Max said. "It's nice to meet you."
"Yes It's nice to meet you too." Mittens said.
"Why are you out here?" Phoenix asked.
"I told you not to go far from the house." Mittens replied.
"Sorry mom had to talk about something important." Phoenix said.
"Well I say you can't go." Mittens replied. Then she looked at Max and said "Sorry and thank you for helping her get back home where she belongs, and phoenix be home in less than an hour."
"Yes mom." Phoenix replied.
As they watched Mittens walk down the hill Max whispered something to Phoenix. "I am leaving in two weeks to look for them. That way you will have more time to persuade your parents to let you go, but for now you tell me what you wanted to tell me."
"Um okay let me see how do I put this?" Phoenix asked.
"What?" Max asked.
"Over the time that I have been with you I have seemed to come to liking you being around me." Phoenix said.
"Yea and?" Max asked impatiently.
"I want to know if you would be my friend?" Phoenix finally asked.
"I thought we were already friends." Max replied.
"Well I didn't know so I wanted to ask you just to make sure." Phoenix lied.
"Well okay I guess I will see you tomorrow." Max said happily.
"Why tomorrow?" Phoenix asked.
"Well don't you wanna hang out?" Max asked.
"Yea sure and then we can get to know each other a little more." Phoenix replied.
"Yea we don need to get to know each other. Any way it was nice talking to you." Max said as he stated walking back down the hill towards his house.
Phoenix did as she was told and she headed back to the house and made it home just in time.
"Good you're here." Mittens said as Phoenix walked through the new dog door.
"Why is that good?" Phoenix asked.
"We get to see your dad." Mittens said cautiously.
"What do you mean?" Phoenix asked.
"We get to see him and talk to him." Mittens replied.
"That's great." Phoenix said. "When do we get to see him?" she asked.
"Penny was talking about bringing him out after dinner." Mittens said.
"That's great." Phoenix replied happily.
As the night continued it seemed to be going slow. Phoenix tried to find something to do, but with her having to stay in the house there was not much to do. Finally she was called by her mother to come to dinner. As they ate, Penny and her mother ate their dinner. Phoenix waited patiently for Penny to finish her dinner. When she finished Phoenix followed her upstairs.
"This has to be a secret okay." Penny whispered to Mittens and Phoenix. Penny knew that they could understand her because they wagged their tails. As Penny opened the door, Phoenix and her mother ran into the room and to the corner where Bolt was placed.
"Dad looks horrible." Phoenix said.
"Wow." Mittens said.
Bolt had braces on all of his legs and still had a little blood on him from his injuries.
"Are you awake?" Mittens asked Bolt.
"Yea barely." Bolt replied.
"Dad how are you ?" Phoenix asked.
"I am a bit sore, and I can't walk and I am a bit tired." Bolt replied.
"Thank god you are still alive." Mittens said.
"Yea well this pain is bearable." Bolt said. "Anyway what happened after I got beat?" he asked.
Mittens began to tell the story about the three men hitting Phoenix with the bat and then shoving her into some cage. Phoenix picked the story up from that point. Explaining the methods of the lab, and the friends that she had made, and last but not least she told him about her strategy to get all the tortured animals out of their cages and back onto the streets. The things she left out was Max and the things that he did.
"That's my girl." Bolt said behind a pained groan.
"Alright guys time to go." Penny said. "You can see him again tomorrow after dinner." she added.
Phoenix and Mittens said their goodbyes before leaving the room. Both of them had decided to go to bed so they went to their dog pillows and slowly drifted off to sleep.
That is the ending of my first chapter of "Phoenix's Legacy: Unknown Secrets" and I have enjoyed writing it so I have a felling that you will enjoy reading it. As always if you have any question or thing to say you can always Private Message me or leave a review. I am also offering ideas on stories if you need any.
