Ivy wakes up shaking painting crawling around backwards in the dirt she soon realises she is in the middle of Beacon Hills preserve but this area is cleared as if something used to be there. How did she get here the last thing Ivy remembers was being at the school in the girls room but now she is here. Ivy stands dusting herself off looking up at the moon and stars above her, its as if the moon light is surrounding her hitting her directly. Ivy turns she sees a quick flash of an image it seemed to look like a large house.
"Do you know what was here?" a voice ask from behind Ivy, she turns to see a man on fire step forward out of the trees. Ivy steps back quickly "who are you? what do you want?" Ivy ask in reply "do you know what was here?" he ask again. "Wait your one of the sheriff deputies aren't you deputy Parish" Ivy says "do you know what was here" he ask a third time. "Yes, I mean no... I don't know" Ivy replies "what do you feel what can see, hear" he ask "why is it so important to you? Why cant you tell me where I am?" Ivy ask confused. He gives no reply to Ivy so she turns and try's to do what he asked.
Ivy moves forward placing her hand up in front of her then she sees it again the house its so big and beautiful. "I... I see a house its big probably 3 stories tall" Ivy says "go inside it" he ask. Ivy doesn't question she moves her hand down to where she sees the door handle and turns it pushing the door open as she walks in. "There are people they are dancing and laughing, they seem to be a family" Ivy continues to describe her surroundings. Ivy turns and sees a young boy about 17-18 sitting with a young girl around the same age "wait... there is a girl she is different I don't know how but she is" Ivy continues. She sees young children 3 of them a boy that looks about 11 and 2 girls one around 10 the other 7. The girl and the boy start dancing "I know what is different now, she isn't related to them in fact she is dating the boy her name is Katie his is Derek"
"Wait what its gone the house is gone" Ivy says to the man, "try it again" he says. Ivy goes back and try's to find the house again and she does. "It's different now, I think some days have past" Ivy sees Katie approach the house with some other people and they circle it as they are all carrying something. "Wait what is she doing what is that? Ahhh" Ivy hears a high pitch frequency coming from the devices. She covers her ears looking around she can see one of the little girls running away from the house. "Wait don't" Ivy shouts but its to late half of the house lights up in flames and Ivy can hear the screams coming from under the house inside the basement. "No!" Ivy screams as she watches all of the people involved walk off except for Katie she stands there watch it burn.
"No! No! No! I cant do it any more" Ivy says coming back to reality. "Why did you make me do that" Ivy ask standing up and stepping back. "Because you are attached to it" Parish replies "attached how am I attached to that I didn't even know them" Ivy says franticly. "you are not attached to the people but something else" Parish still on fire replies "What? What do you mean" Ivy replies confused. "If you can find out what attaches you to this I will tell you why" Parish says, "how do I know what it is" Ivy ask. "Here let me just give you a little help" Parish says stepping forward he relights his body.
"The fire" Ivy says without thinking, she cant even connect the two or even how she is connected to any of this in fact how was she able to see the house when it is clear that there is no house there anymore. "Now as promised I will show you why you are attached to the fire" Parish says stepping forward "but first" he adds then pauses as he steps closer. The two are just centimetres apart as Parish raises one of his hands and pushes it gently through Ivy's hair moving it out of her face. His bare chest pushes against her breast as he leans in placing his lips passionately against hers.
Ivy confused but decides to accept and closes her eyes, even though this being her first kiss she did not expect such a great rush to go through her body as they continue, it is as if she knew exactly what to do. The two separate their lips slowly and gently Parish looks into her eyes and his change back into the red. "But first" he goes back to finish what he was saying "you have to die" the unexpected words leap out of his mouth and Ivy backs up confused and scared. Every step she takes back he takes forward Ivy new it was to good to be true someone as hot as him catching on to a girl like her.
Ivy's heart beats rapidly as she moves back into the circle of light coming from the moon only for Parish to stop. His body that is already on fire seems to make the fire stronger some how as he just lights up more and more. Then it happens Parish shoots a blaze into Ivy hitting her directly in the chest as her body completely ignites bursting into flames and she is left to become nothing but ashes and embers. "Rise, I call you to rise" Parish shouts as the embers of Ivy come together creating a fire like bird that flies up in front of the moon light spreading its wings and it shoots off into the forest as trees catch alight behind it.
The bird flies back and shoots into the ashes that it came from and the ashes fly up like a puff of smoke. They seem to make a figure and all come together to recreate Ivy but her clothing was not able the reconnect so Ivy stands naked as the last of her ashes connect with her. Ivy looks a strong dead stare at Parish before running at him and jumping so high its almost flight. She lands perfectly in his arms forcing her talons out holding them to his throat. "I should kill you" Ivy shouts into Parish's face so loud his flames blow behind him "but first" Ivy adds pausing and forcing her lips on his.
The two go down and lay rolling around in the dirt as Ivy's hair lights but this time she does not become ashes. Both her and Parish are lit making love together as if they have always known each other or were together in another world. He rubs his hands up and down her body as she moves up and down on him kissing him repeatedly. The two both know it feels so right to be so wrong as they continuously push their bodies against each other. Suddenly one of the flames hits a tree and all around them is alight as they continue what they have started. They stop and lay under the stars looking up at the world around them.
Laying there surrounded by fire Ivy ask the questions that she cant get out of her head. "Parish, What am I?" Ivy ask her first of several questions, "you are the creature of the night, the collector of lost souls, the seeker of death but you are also the light and spark I need you are the phoenix" Parish replies turning to look into Ivy's eyes. "What are you?" Ivy ask "I am the Hell Hound" Parish replies. "Why us? Huh why is this happening to us?" Ivy ask as she sits up in the dirt ""because we have a connection with the flames but we also both need each other to survive" Parish says as he sits up grabbing Ivy's hands.
"How? How am I connected? How am I supposed to control this" Ivy's hands start shaking "How am I supposed to stop this from getting out of hand?" She pulls her hands back and stands gesturing to the trees on fire "what if I cant control it what if I hurt someone?" she adds. Parish stands up "I will teach, I will guide you and show you the way" he grabs her hands again and brings her to one of the trees reaching her hand toward the flames. "Well then which way is it?" Ivy ask one last question as she turns her head looking into Parish's eyes. Parish rubs her hand gently and Ivy looks at the fire as it seems her body starts to absorbs the flames "the way of the Phoenix" Parish says as the fire off of the tree is swept into Ivy and this makes her feel stronger and more powerful.
