PART 1
"You want me to what?" Phoenix Harman asked Thierry.
"We want you to go into the Night World and see if you
can find out anything about the fourth Wild Power." Thierry said.
They were in Thierry's office in his mansion in Las
Vegas. The room was beautiful, with
antiques that lead back to the early 13 hundreds.
Phoenix shook her head in disbelief. "Why do I have to do it? Why can't you send somebody else?"
Thierry looked at the young girl across from him. Phoenix really was beautiful, with long
golden-brown hair with red highlights and eyes that changed between green,
hazel and yellow depending on her mood, Phoenix was one of the most beautiful
people Thierry had ever seen. Well, apart
from Hannah, Thierry thought to himself.
"Because there's no one else to sent." He explained calmly. "There are only two other people beside
yourself that we could even think of sending, and they're on other assignments
right now."
"But why can't you just get them back here and I can go
and take their place. Come on Thierry,
you know how much I hate the Night World." Phoenix pleaded.
Thierry knew that was true.
The Night World had killed Phoenix's parents, when she was little. All because her parents broke the
rules. "I know Phoenix, but you
have to do this."
Phoenix sighed; she knew that she wasn't going to win this
battle. "Alright. When do you want me to go, and where am I
going?"
"You'll leave later on tonight. And as for where you're
going, you might want to sit down for this." Phoenix looked at Thierry strangely but sat down anyway. "You'll be working with Blake Redfern
and his people."
"What?!"
Phoenix jumped up from her chair.
"They're some of the most dangerous people in the Night World and
you want me to spy on them. Do you
think I have a death wish?"
"Phoenix," Theirry said calmly. "Calm down. I know how dangerous they are, but they're the only people that
might know something about the Wild Power and you know that we can't let them
get the four Wild Power."
Phoenix nodded her head and sat back down. "I know. How am I getting in? I
mean they're not going to open their arms and give me greats hugs and kisses
and a great big cake."
Thierry chuckled to himself. Phoenix was one of his best agents and her sense of humour was
always refreshing. "We have
someone on the inside who'll get you in."
"Who?"
Phoenix asked tilting her head to the side which allowed her unbound
hair to fall over her shoulders. With
the sun behind her she was a sight for sore eyes.
"It doesn't matter, but they know you're coming and
will be expecting you there at 8 o'clock, so you better start packing your
things. You might be gone for
awhile."
"Great," Phoenix muttered to herself. "I just hope none of them are really
strong telepaths, otherwise this would have been a waste of time."
"Don't worry Phoenix.
Everything will be okay."
Thierry said to her as she left his office.
"Yeah right."
Phoenix said walking up to her room.
"If I don't get killed."
She knew that it was dangerous for her to be anywhere near Night
People. Of any of them suspected that
she had human blood in her, she would be dead not long after. She really hated the fact that they couldn't
accept that she had human blood in her.
It wasn't easy for her being half human half witch. That is what always made Phoenix think made
her different from other witches. She
had different powers to them, and she always put it back to her human blood. Where more witches could bring up balls of
orange witch fire, that was really just a bunch of energy, Phoenix could make
balls of real fire. Some that she
couldn't always control.
Of course her mother was a Harman, from one of the most
powerful witch family's in the whole of the Night World. Her mother had always told her that she was
special. Of course Phoenix had just
thought that it was just a mothers affection telling her that. Little did she know how special she really
was.
