Flame looked down at Phoenix. She was sitting there staring into space. She had had a shower and was in her Halloween outfit. You're weakening Phoenix. It will only be a matter of time before you die. Phoenix cried out as fire shot trough her mind. Her eyes turned the colour of old blood and she growled. Flame screeched and fell onto the bed, immobilized.
"Stuff this. I can't do it anymore. We leave tomorrow. I don't care what Thierry says. Midnight's coming as well. When we leave, we are going hunting. And we will kill anyone who gets in our way. Maya had it right all along. I should've listened to her. He will not live much longer."
Iliana stood there shocked. She had been going to see if Phoenix was ok and she had heard everything Phoenix had said. Tears filled Iliana's eyes and she ran down the stairs and straight to Thierry. She was hysterical.
"Phoenix…leaving…going hunting…kill anyone…in her way…agreeing with…Maya…going to…kill him." She said through heaving breaths and sobs. Why was this damn mansion so big? She had run down six flights of stairs and three corridors. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at Iliana. Timmy looked at her.
"Calm down Iliana. Take a deep breath then tell me what you heard." Thierry said. Iliana took a deep breath and was just about to talk when Phoenix herself came down the stairs. She was wearing a backless black dress with golden flecks. She has black high heel sandals and her hair was straight down her back, her sword still at her hip. She had smoky eye shadow on and very dark red lip stick. Her eyes were midnight black. But what shocked everyone the most was the black wings that came from her back. The backless dress showed where they came from her body and how badly broken the left one was. Flame was sitting on her forearm on fire. The doorbell rung but no one moved. They were all staring at Phoenix.
"Well, why are you standing there? We have a party to throw." She said with a smile and headed to the door. When she had left the room everyone looked at Iliana then quickly finished off the last of the decorating and put the music on just as the first humans walked into the huge ballroom. For a whole hour humans flooded in and filled up the ballroom. They danced and ate and talked. Most of the Daybreakers had forgotten what Iliana had said. Phoenix had left everyone and danced with random people.
Timmy walked over to Phoenix, who was talking to a different bunch of human, who couldn't stop staring at the wings coming from her back. They said that they were made so good that they looked real. Phoenix had just laughed at that, making the good wing twitch. The also commented on her bird, which was not on fire anymore.
"Can I talk to you?" Timmy said to her. She looked at him and nodded. He led her into the kitchen where no one would hear him or bother them. Phoenix looked at him and Flame jumped off her arm and onto the counter. Phoenix watched as Timmy shifted then stared right into her eyes.
"What do you think your doing, leaving m…us?" Timmy nearly yelled at her. She looked at him in surprise, not noticing Rashel and Jez, who had followed them. She saw the anger burning within Timmy. He glared at her and waited impatiently for an answer.
"What do you mean? I'm not leaving." She said to him in a calm voice. He growled, not believing what she had just said.
"Iliana heard you. She said you were leaving and hunting and killing." He hissed. Phoenix's eyes flashed blazing red. She glared right back at Timmy. Raising her voice so it was the same volume as Timmy's.
"I never said anything about hunting and killing. What are you talking about?" She stared at him in puzzlement and anger. By now the rest of the Daybreakers were in the kitchen. The listened to the argument.
"Stop lying. Iliana said something about you agreeing with Maya." Phoenix hissed. Her wing twitched. Timmy was scared but anger took over.
"I have never agreed with Maya. She only trained me." Timmy ignored it.
"What the hell are you thinking? Are you just going to leave and go on a killing spree?" Phoenix lost it. Her wing shot up, it was twice the size of her body, and fire danced all over her body. She hissed and advanced on Timmy. He stood his ground but fear flickered through his eyes. The Daybreakers were getting nervous and started to head towards Timmy. Phoenix was a meter from him when she screamed and collapsed. Her hands flew to her head and her eyes rolled back. Soon she was unconscious on the floor. The Daybreakers stood there, silently looking where Phoenix had collapsed. A moan came from her and she blinked. Flame was standing next to her. Phoenix rubbed her head and slowly got up. She gasped and put all her wait on the counter. She stared at the group standing at the door. Her eyes again were the colour of old blood and she looked as if she was in a dream. She stumbled forward and then stood like a statue.
"I will get her. Don't you worry, Daybreakers, she will be mine. But I might start with you Jezebel Redfern, just for fun." Then she blinked and walked back into the ballroom, leaving the group staring after her, Morgead fuming.
"I don't care if she is you're 'niece', if she touches Jez I will rip her throat out." Morgead spat.
Phoenix walked up to a random guy dressed as a zombie and asked of he wanted to dance. A song came on and the lights started flickering, making the place look creepy. People laughed and danced and had fun and soon it was nearing midnight. Phoenix danced with loads of different people, not caring about anything. She avoided anyone who came up to her and only went to people she chose. Her head pounded and she could feel her pulse beating around her body. Wherever she looked all she could focus on were the human's necks and the blood running through the veins. She turned and ran for the glass doors' leading to outside, not realizing someone was following her. She took a deep breath and walked through the gardens and headed towards the door in the wall. Flame was waiting by the door. Phoenix opened it and walked over to Midnight, who was sitting on the grass. Phoenix sat next to him and rested her head on his back. She turned and looking at her was Jez.
"What did you mean by 'I might start with you'?" she asked looking down at Phoenix. Somehow she wasn't shocked by the fact that Phoenix had a horse with wings. Phoenix looked at her and sighed.
"What is it with everyone making up things today? I never said that." Jez raised her eyebrows and stared at Phoenix. She didn't believe her one bit.
"Look, Jez, I wouldn't hurt a Daybreaker. I may be a Night Person and I may hang around with them…sometimes…but the Daybreakers are my friends." Jez sat down and Phoenix whispered something to Midnight. He got up and trotted over to Jez. Something hit her in the back of the head, hard, and she blacked out.
