Hi guys, if you read this before it had a few formatting errors so I fixed it up.
Narnia
The flaming arrow was fired and the majestic red and black phoenix swooped by, its pointed wing clipped the edge of the arrow, setting the great bird on fire. The flaming arrow wasn't completely necessary because the Phoenix could easily set itself on fire but was shot because the bird needed to conserve energy for the hypersonic dive it would have to do. The Phoenix blazed with vibrant oranges and yellows, totally in contrast with the black and red from before. It entered hypersonic speed and sped along the battle front and created a line of fire between the two armies. It nodded to itself in satisfaction at a job well done. Its energy drained, it crumbled into fine white dust.
Hawaii
"Smile!" Said Mrs to her Hino soon-to-be-larger family which consisted of her husband and another boy of the age of around eight. After the photograph, her husband came up to her and laid a hand on her rounded belly. He smiled warmly at her think of their new child that would soon be introduced to the world. They had planned to come to Hawaii after the baby was born but the infant refused to cooperate and stayed inside Mrs Hino. Mrs Hino winced as she felt a kick. Mr Hino began to freak out, making sure she had a drink, making sure she had a towel and was comfortable.
"It's alright honey, it was just a kick." She said but as she said it she winced again she knew she was wrong. Her husband sensed this and tried to carry her to the car, the little boy watching them curiously. The family never made it to the hospital in time. The baby, once again, refused to cooperate. Mr Hino stopped the car and got out and went around the vehicle to help his wife give birth. By pure chance, they had stopped right next to one of the famous attractions of Hawaii. A volcano. As the woman gave birth, the ground shook and the mountain steamed. The little boy screamed in fright and hugged his father's leg.
The phoenix, majestic but transparent, burst forth from the volcano, reborn. It immediately knew something was wrong. It needed a host. The bird knew that to get the most extent out of the host's life, he would have to be the youngest he could find. The great bird could not believe his luck because his first sight with his new eyes was an infant being born. You don't want to know the other images in the same general area it saw so let's leave it at that. It plunged towards the unsuspecting family and thrust its transparent body into the child's. The phoenix's body dissolved as it was immediately absorbed by the baby's body. The parents having been oblivious to this as the phoenix was invisible to them looked eagerly into the child's face. The infant yawned and opened its eyes. Husband and wife stood their gazing, shocked, into the baby's eyes. Those vivid orange eyes.
England, Five Years Later
There was always something special about Tori. He was always in mischief and his orange eyes sparkled with knowledge that a five year old should not have had the ability to know. The phoenix dropped little hints of his existence like when Tori was one and wandered out onto the road. An oncoming truck could not see him as he was too short although the driver did claim to have seen a giant semi-transparent red and black bird blocking his path. He had swerved and missed the child by a metre. He got out and found the child instead of the great bird he thought he had seen. He passed it off as a hallucination from the heat. When Tori was three he was taken on one of the family's exotic holidays. The plane had caught fire and the passengers evacuated as it was just before take-off. Tori was left in the fire but did not get burnt. Authorities passed it off as a mother's panicked vision of her child (mothers always thought of the worst possible variable). Other than those two incidents, the phoenix never really intervened unless the child's life was on the line. Today was his fifth birthday party. All his friends had come over for games and fun. The only problem was, that 'all his friends' meant only Emily and Dylan. These two were his only friends since he was four. The little trio plus Mrs Hino, who was looking after them for the afternoon, went down the street to the local swimming pool for a relaxing swim after the party. When they got there, a man greeted them at the gates. He welcomed them in and led them to a spot where they could put their towels. Tori sat on the side, watching the other two swim.
"Come on, it is nice and cool!" Emily yelled. Tori gave a nod, got up, went around to the stars into the pool and waded in. Immediately, the others could feel the heat in the water. The liquid around Tori began to evaporate quickly and the stunned life guard unfroze from his position by the time the pool was only a little puddle and Emily and Dylan's feet. Mrs Hino could tell the life guard was about to say something very rude so she butt in.
"Well, we must be off!" She said brusquely. She dragged Tori out of the swimming area and was quickly followed by Dylan and Emily. Of course, Mrs Hino had no idea about the Phoenix but she knew what had happened was not completely human. She took them to the car and drove them home.
"What happened, Mummy?" Tori asked.
"Nothing you need to worry about, dear." She replied. From that day on, Mr and Mrs Hino had been sending tori to specialist doctors until he was fifteen. When he turned sixteen, his mum decided that enough was enough and that if the doctors couldn't fix him then no-one really could. Tori became a famous case that doctors from all over the world requested to see. Mrs Hino refused them all because she just wanted her son to feel normal.
Thirteen Years Later
"Stay a little longer" The girl begged
"Please, for me" She said. Tori wavered and then broke. He decided to stay at the party just a little longer. Just for Emily's friend. He didn't even know her name, all he knew was that she was cute and she wanted him. That was more than anybody else in Tori's life. She smiled and pulled him back inside the house. She pressed her lips up against his. They were so warm and soft and he wanted more of them. No, more of her. He couldn't remember how long he stayed after that, it was just a blur. But, he did know he was still pure. He walked home with Emily, Dylan and that other girl whose name he had learned was Shari. They were walking home; all linked arms together when tory saw a dark black shape flew down and whacked Shari in the chest. She jerked back as if she had been shoved. The others, who had seen nothing quickly supported her and asked her what had happened and if she was alright. Tori picked her up and put her on her feet. He looked into her green eyes. Or at least, they were green. Now they were black. Dark, swirling, deep black.
Tori stumbled back, as if her were struck. Those eyes seemed familiar. Though he did not know it, those eyes were not familiar to him but to the Phoenix. It flared up in his body, causing his eyes to flicker from the normal eyes with oranges irises to the whole eye glowing red like molten lava. He screeched an unearthly screech at Shari who hissed back, baring dagger-like fangs. Out of her back sprouted to bat wings that stretched and beat down with one powerful stroke that lifted her clean into the air. Tori similarly had two wings but they were black and streaked with black. He grew pitch black talons and also took to the skies after her. Except, it no longer seemed to be Shari and Tori up there, but the Phoenix and the bat like creature. Tori, unused to his new wings, was unsteady and crashed into a small tower. Shari screeched in triumph and flew away.
Tori flew down again and landed next to Emily and Dylan who were so star struck they couldn't even react.
"Well" Said Tori, already halfway human
"We must be getting home." He walked on past them and they struggled to keep up as they asked al sorts of questions like 'how long have you known' and 'why didn't you tell us' but all they got was 'no' and that didn't really answer any questions at all.
When they got to Tori's place, (as everyone was staying over that night) he went straight to his mum's room and didn't come out for a while. When he did come out, it was only for water and the occasional snack. When he finally came out to talk to them, he sat the down in front of the turned down television.
"Firstly," He said,
"I know nothing of this except that it happened when I was five" He began but before he could continue, Emily cut him off.
"That incident with evaporating all the water at the pool." She said. Tori looked her as if to say 'are you done?' and continued talking
"There was also a time when a truck driver who nearly ran me over claimed he saw a giant bird blacking his path and that was the only reason he turned and missed me. Mum and I have put two and two together and have figured out that it has something to do with my spirit or soul, whichever you prefer, because all the doctors we have tried can't fix it. We also reasoned that because a bird was seen and the fact that I evaporated the water means it has something to do with a heat-bird, therefore meaning a Phoenix. I know, I know, unreasonable but really, in me, that is unreasonable so it seems that it should be unreasonable too. Mum told me of one person who knows about these mythical creatures really well." He said
"And who would that be?" Dylan asked.
"Mrs Agatha Hinkerstron."
Thanks for reading this! I know this hasn't got that much to do with Narnia but I wanted to write a story like this and had to make it a fanfiction so you guys could read it. Please review
