When I woke up I didn't see the two that we were suppose to take to HQ, I woke Bookman up to help me look for them.

"You don't think she ran away do you?"

He just shrugs his shoulders and pulls out his wireless golem.

"Yes, you bring good news right Bookman?"

The Supervisor's voice sang out loud.

"How is the new girl holding up? Did she find what she was looking for?"

"Not really."

Before Chief could say anything I but in.

"She was only able to find one, that being a bird that carries an Innocence. Just yesterday Phoenix came in contact with her older sister who turned out to be nothing more than a demon, but she was carrying two souls in her body instead of just one; the two souls that was in her sister's body was that of her mother and father."

"And where is the girl now?"

Bookman answers for me.

"Missing, along with the bird."

"Find her, who knows what could happen!"

And so the search began.

As I was washing Xavier my mind couldn't help but to wonder what could have happened if I didn't jumped.

'You know its not good for your kind to do this to yourself.'

I stopped what I was doing and looked at him.

"What are you talking about?"

'To help find closure you need to talk to someone.'

What he said made sense, but I'm just not ready to talk about something like this.

"I'm not ready to talk about it Xavier, and please stay out of my head."

I went back to cleaning him after he was done I stripped my clothes and looked at myself from the water.

'Why is that I was the only one that lives?'

I get in the water and wash myself, I stood there under the waterfall for a long time just thinking, thinking what I should do now. The only reason why I stayed on this island was because at first I thought my family would be here, then Xavier came into the picture. And the reason why I came back was for that same reason; if Xavier doesn't want to go there then . . . I'm staying with him. That's all there is to it. Now its time to really clear these thoughts, I climbed on top of the waterfall and sat there; Xavier landed right next to me.

"Why me Xavier? Why only me?"

'Maybe your Goddess wants you around just a little bit longer.'

I shake my head.

"All my life, I spent it to please my mother and father; and to help my older sister anyway that I can . . . And now shit like this had to happen!"

I stood up yelling.

"I hate you Goddess! I fucking hate you, you fucking fat ass Earl! Why?! Why did you have to take something that I love so much away?! The hell did I ever do to you!!!"

'Phoenix . . .'

He flies right in front of my face.

'Your family can live on through you, they maybe dead to the rest of the world, but they can still live; as long as you believe and live.'

A sad smile crawled its way onto my face.

"You know sometimes I think you were human, but got stuck in this form. And in some weird way you're right. Three of the best fruit on this island says that I can make it to the middle of the lake!"

I took a few steps back and took a running start, but seeing Lavi scared the shit out of me as he grabbed me in mid air.

"Lavi what the hell are you doing, put me down! I'm naked! Let me go!"

"Do you think I would let you die!?"

It took me a while to get what he was talking about.

"You idiot I wasn't going to die! I was going to dive . . . you know swim!"

I kick and punch, but then let my wings out after remembering that I could do that and did a nose dive right into the water. I pushed my wings back and spit a little bit of water at Xavier.

"Well looks like you have to find me three of the best fruits found on this island."

I say with a huge smile, Lavi comes up behind Xavier as I hid behind one of the boulders that are found here.

"Please Phoenix don't do things like that. You had us thinking that you were going to do something stupid crazy."

"Just trying to find closure, that's all love; no need to try and play hero with me here."

I say in a joking manner, he sits down on a log facing away from me.

"I'm not all that knowing about what to say in things like this; but I can try my best."

I swim to the other side dry off and get dress.

"I know that nobody wants to be alone, to be the last to know about things like this. But Phoenix, know that you don't have to always do things on your own. Once we have Hevlaska test you, you'll really be an Exorcist. You can't give up just yet . . . you have to keep holding on. You're not alone Phoenix, and know that I care for you . . . So please don't do anything-"

I come up behind him and hugged him, crying slightly.

"You talk too much you know that right? Thank you Lavi . . . I really needed that."

"Is it okay to turn around now?"

I let him go and walk right in front of him still crying.

"You don't even know me, and yet you help me; why is that?"

"Sometimes, a girl needs saving, no matter how strong they think they are . . ."

I give him this look.

"Not saying that you're not strong at all though . . . Or need saving, just a little-uh- guiding? Yes that's what you needed. And to top it all off your cute."

I shake my head at the last comment that he threw in there. I knew it he's a womanizer . . . I can tell just by the way he carries himself.

"Come on Xavier, let's leave this 'Womanizer' and go and find Bookman before we give him a heart attack or something."

Xavier flew to my right shoulder and I walked off away from him smiling.

"For someone who talks too much he did know some good things to say to a girl."

'Don't get wrapped up in his charm Phoenix.'

"The day I do I take orders from that fat ass Earl."

"Who's a Womanizer!!"

We heard Lavi finally yell after we were half way to the beach. At the edge of the jungle we could see him talking to one of the finders and some weird looking bat thing right in between them.

"Bookman!"

I call him as I ran up to him, but stopped just remembering something . . . how is it that I am able to hear?!

I look at Xavier, as I sat on the tree that bent in a weird angle.

'While you were sleeping your wings came out and it rammed themselves in your ears; you screamed bloody murder when they did, but never woke up. Green lines formed where your vines are . . . And the blood that came from your ears turned hard.'

"And I didn't wake up from that because?"

He just shrugs his shoulders, I noticed that Lavi didn't mention it; more than likely he thought I was going to kill myself. Let's see if Bookman will say anything about it. I walked up to him and the Finder.

"Morning! Did you guys sleep well?"

"How are your ears feeling Phoenix, I stayed up most of the night because of you."

"I can hear perfectly for some reason."

Bookman explained it to me better than Xavier did, soon Lavi came into the picture.

"Come on Phoenix, if you're done here we need to head back to HQ."

Lavi says as he heads back to the boat, my feet felt like it was made of lead at that moment.

'Can I leave this place just like that? This is like my second home . . . And what about Xavier?'

'I think its time to try something new Phoenix; do you really believe that I'll let you have all the fun around here?'

I look at him and smile widely, one of my biggest fears now was gone, but I'm not getting on that boat and Xavier knew that.
