Alright Everybody I have returned sorry it took so long but like i said school but enough of me here's chapter 4

Chapter 4

Yubel the black phoenix

I couldn't recall what had happened, when I had woken up I had found myself lying on the ground looking up at a rocky roof. I got up and looked around the environment and realized I was inside a cave with a large skylight with the moon light shining down. As I was looking up I tried to remember how I got here, I remembered I was falling of a ledge and right before I blacked out something came flying straight at me but what?

"What was that...some sort of bird" I pondered to myself.

I then looked around further inside the cave and noticed a large nest in the center, as I was inspecting it something had soon clicked in my mind. My thoughts were soon interrupted when I suddenly heard a loud flapping sound coming from above. My gut was telling to take cover immediately and hide, I ran and hid behind a rock but kept my head poked out to watch. As the flapping grew louder and louder getting closer I took a look up and there it was my memory had soon come back to me the thing that saved me was descending was a phoenix.

"Holy moly now I remember that phoenix saved me from my own death, I don't believe this"

I continued watching the Phoenix as it touched down in the cave and came over to a certain corner of the cave, then I noticed it carrying a dead wild boar in its beak. It set it down on the ground then started to gather up some twigs in one pile it seemed like it was trying to do something I swiftly but quietly moved closer to see what it was up to.

When I got close enough I saw the the phoenix doing something else it raised it's talon up poked the center of the boar and made a tiny slit, it was starting to skin it I looked away with disgust almost wanting to barf. I quickly got myself together and continued watching I could now see the phoenix grabbing a large stick putting it into the ground then sticking the now skinned board through it then placed the whole spearing boar on two rows of sticks that was holding it up over the stick pile

"Ummm is it about to cook that thing" I pondered

I continued to watch and then I saw the phoenix fly above the boar with two rocks in its talons and with one rub it sparked and started a fire, then it began to turn the boar around it was like roasting meat on a spit I couldn't believe it. I was truly amazed by this a phoenix being smart enough to roast an animal as if it were human. I used to read in story books that Phoenix's never displayed this sort of behavior.

All of a sudden the phoenix was looking around in all sorts of directions. It looked like it was looking for something. It was starring hard inside the cave, I figured that since it was bird it has real good eyesight, and it was using it to find something. I hadn't the slightest clue of what in the world it was looking for, but then I saw it looking in the same area I had woken up. Then suddenly I realized it was searching for me and for one good reason. It was hungry for some human flesh.

"So that's why it saved me it just wanted me for a side dish to go with that wild boar". I pondered.

I then remembered that before I was trying to kill myself but then I realized that now I want to live cause death was a lot more scary than I realized, and I knew I needed to get out of here before I ended up in that things belly. While the phoenix was bust searching I was looking around for great escape route. Then suddenly I looked to my right and saw a wall closed of by a bunch of rocks blocking it. I carefully and quietly navigated my way through to get to the wall, when I reached it I began to remove those rocks out of my way. The more I moved I could see some light revealing itself, I was so caught up with getting out I forgot to be quiet and careful because one of the rocks I just moved fell to the ground creating a loud thud. And if that wasn't bad enough the phoenix heard this and narrowed it's eyes in my direction and slowly started to walk towards me.

Suddenly adrenaline was pumped into my body my heart was pounding I frantically moved those rocks out of the way not carrying where they ended up. I could feel that the phoenix was getting closer by it's footsteps. When I had finally moved the last rock I started to crawl my way out. But right before I did I took a look behind me and saw the phoenix staring down at with it's blood red eyes. It then lunged towards me with it's beak wide open about to grab me, I let out a loud scream and high-tailed it out of there before the phoenix could get to me.

When I finally crawled out of the cave I got up and started to run as fast as my legs could carry me. After a few minutes of running i suddenly tripped and fell over something I got up and looked to see what I tripped over and saw that it was some sort of beast. The thing was as big as a bear t had horns of a ram long snout with whiskers and sharp teeth. It didn't look too happy because it looked dead at me growling baring its fangs, I was taken over with fear right before I could run the beast suddenly pounced at me. I closed my eyes so would see it coming but right before the beast attacked me something stopped it, I opened my eyes and saw that a giant snake which popped out of the ground came up and swallowed the beast whole.

I was quite appalled by this and let out a loud scream which was a bad idea, the giant snake soon noticed me and began to slither it's way towards me I fell backwards scared expecting the worse to come. Right before the snake attacked I soon heard a loud flapping noise and loud squeaking noise(or whatever noise a phoenix makes), I take a look up and I see the phoenix from before flying towards us and grabs the snake with its talons. I took the time to run and hide somewhere but I watched as the the phoenix started to brutally kill the snake with it's talons and beak.

"Wow first I see the snake eat a beast then the phoenix come and kills the snake, this is crazy" I thought out loud.

And after the phoenix was finished it suddenly just disappeared. It formed into darkness and went bye-bye. I looked around wondering where it went when suddenly I see a large shadow casting over I turned and looked up and there it was the Phoenix. I tried to run but was to slow cause the phoenix already grabbed me by it's beak and started to ascend into the air carrying me back to it's cave.

When we finally returned the phoenix dropped me into its nest before it touched down inside the cave. Me and the phoenix were now staring at each other I could only imagine what it planned on doing to me.

"AHHHHHHHH, look if your going to eat me then just do it I mean it's not like I have anything else or anywhere to go now" I cried out.

The phoenix looked at me then it finally began spoke in a feminine voice

"First off I am a Mrs not a mr and second why would I eat human as tiny as you"

I then stopped acting scared I stood straight up looking at the phoenix in shock.

"HOLY COW YOU CAN TALK" I shouted.

The phoenix soon began to laughing and replied. "Honestly are all humans this easily frightened, though you didn't show any signs of fear when I rescued you"

"So your not going to eat me then" I asked

The phoenix replied "of course not if your wondering why I brought you here it's because when I found you you were quite tired and weak, so me being a good summeratin I carried you back to my home to make sure your alright"

"Oh alright then" I said when suddenly my stomach growled

" The phoenix then giggled just as I thought you must be hungry after all of that well luckily I have this juicy boar for you to eat along with some gathered fruit care to join me"

I honestly couldn't pass this chance up I was starving and tired and figured id be safe with the phoenix.

"Um yeah sure" I simply replied

"Well then dig right in young one don't be shy"

With that I start attacking the meal in front of me like i'm a lion chowing down on its prey, I couldn't help it i have never eaten food this good before it was incredible. After a few more mouthful of food i was stuffed and let out a loud satisfying burp.

"Im guessing from that belch you enjoyed yourself huh" the dragon asked.

"Yup sure did thank you so much mrs. phoenix" I thanked

"Your quite welcome, you must've been starving for day i've never seen a human eat before"

"Yeah your right" i simply said with a smile on my face .

"I see, say young one I don't mean to kill the mood but I have an important question"

"Okay what is it"

"Well first of all why were you falling from the cliff when i saved you, and what did you mean when you said you have nowhere to go, are you parents not around" she asked.

My eyes shot open the memories of my parents and my brother flashed through my head, Arias last words to me before diesing really struck me hard, remembering this made my eyes water up with tears. Seeing this the phoenix voice had snapped me out of my thoughts

"Oh dear are you alright your crying"

I looked up at the phoenix with tears in my eyes before I broke down crying, the phoenix then took its wing to bring me close to its body and I embraced her. After a few minutes of crying I told her what had happened with the phoenix giving her full attention to me.

"My word your own brother gave his life to save you and your own parents were killed" she asked.

"Yes , and that's why I was trying to kill myself i'm lonely with no family and nowhere to go, it's just not fair why does this have to happen to me".

"Young one I know it isn't fair but honestly your older brother gave his life so that you could live so that you could live on, do really think he'd want you to give up so easily like that".

I looked up and said "no but what can I do then".

"Well for starters you can stop by saying you don't have anywhere to go, because I have decided that starting today you can stay here with me" she said proudly.

"Really" I asked

"Of course it's quite lonely here and i'd feel terrible for abandoning a young child like you, and you know if you like I could be your new mother"

I just stared in shock as if she said something ridiculous. My eyes welled up into tears of happiness I broke into a smile and burst out yelling.

"Yes yes yes please let me stay here" I shouted excited

"Well then it's settled from this day forward you shall be my son and I will be you mother" she said as she gently nuzzled her beake against me.

"Oh yes if im to be your mother I must know my sons name, may I know what it is"? She asked

"My name is Zodie. Zodie Mcknight" I said proudly.

Zodie Mcknight what a wonderful name, and starting today you are now the sun of the black phoenix Yubel.
