CHAPTER ONE: THE STRANGER ARRIVES

'Her soul filled with fire, her eyes filled with sorrow'

It was a dark and stormy night, well actually it wasn't but I'm just trying to set a mood here, when she arrived at the house. Only one expecting the stranger to knock on the door. The stranger had a red cape resting on her shoulders and a hood covering her face. She knocked on the door seven times, giving the house owner the signal that it was her at the door. The sky suddenly gave birth to thunder and rain poured down as if some was constantly filling up a bucket and tipping it over the edge of the clouds. The stranger was not quick enough to get undercover and ending up lying on the wet green grass in the rain, her fiery soul extinguished.

Granny Relda's POV

Seven knocks echoed through the house, the firebird had arrived. I rushed down the stairs as fast as my old bones would let me. Hearing distant thunder I suddenly became distraught, a feeling came over me, something bad was about to happen. I stopped in my tracks, thinking over my decision of bringing the firebird here, was she going to be safe, or more important was my family going to be safe. Firebirds were dangerous beings and could rarely be trusted. I shrugged away the feeling of danger, reaching out to open the door ready to be greeted by the firebird waiting outside with a warm smile on her face but instead I saw her limp body lying on the ground, motionless and being attacked by gallons of water pouring from the sky.

"PUCK! SABRINA!" I called out to the two teenagers. I was not strong enough to lift up the firebird and since Mr. Canis no longer has the wolf inside of him he wouldn't be able to lift her either.
