Okay, so I'm writing about Phoenix as a teenager, 15 to be precise. I hope you enjoy this. I have also done a fanfic called Trapped which has more adventure so if you like it, check it out on my profile. So... chapter one...

What I know about myself:

1) I'm called Phoenix. No surname (I'm not taking Max's)

2) I have no family. Officially I do, but I am missing, presumed dead to them. (Other than Max) Therefore: Phoenix = Loner.

3) I was kidnapped aged six. By my mother's family. So that explains the last two annotations.

4) I'm trapped in a secret Itex facility, which gave me the power to see anything happening anywhere. Creepy.

5) I have wings. Yeah. Did I forget to mention that?

That's all I know. I was pretty certain of things yesterday, but now my world is upside down.

(Yesterday)

My lungs are pounding: I have been running for hours. There's nothing I can do though, if I stop, I will fail.

That's just how it is, I never had a choice. If I did, the world wouldn't have ended, and I would be at home with my family. Which wouldn't include Max, by the way.

I carry on the run, thinking about the situation. I have a sister, Ember, who doesn't know how we came to be here.

At least I can keep an eye on her, thanks to my power.

I can see the Horsemen come closer to her crate, one of them bearing a baton.

I know what they're going to do before they do it. They're going to kill her.

What am I going to do? I scream, yelling at the top of my lungs. A whitecoat comes in with a rifle, aiming. But I slap it away before he pulls the trigger. It blasts against the wall, firing loudly.

I didn't expect that. Horsemen burst into the room. I check: Ember's alone. Good.

I spread my wings, a perfect blend of Fang's and...her's. I sprint towards the crates. I grasp the bars and pull Ember's out of the window.

You didn't think I'd just let her fall, did you? She might be a seven year old bird kid, but she's not a miracle.

To most people, anyway. She's a miracle to me, because she's the only one I've got. I was so lonely, so afraid, before she came. I feel so bad, but I'd rather have had someone with me then. The darkest times of my life. Now we're free, and nobody will capture us again. Not Itex, not anyone else. First stop: find the flock.
