Asuka appeared in Nova's room. She watched her while she slept, placing her fingers against the bracelet and sucking her powers out. Suddenly Nova shot up. She looked at Asuka.
"Why did you leave us? You said you would help", the Phoenix said.
"I had too. Your aunt threatened me after I tried to help you", Asuka said, sitting beside her.
"She overheard them talking. Her grandparents", the Phoenix said.
"And?", Asuka asked.
"They are just like everyone else. They want to control us, use us", she said.
"Then lets go. We don't need to stay here", Asuka said.
The Phoenix pulled on Asuka's arm, stopping her.
"I have to stay. They were talking about some Demons destroying our family. I need to know what Demons.", she said.
Asuka sighed, but nodded. She wanted to save the Demons for last, but she guessed they could move them up the list.
"If you need me at all, just call to me", Asuka said.
The Phoenix nodded. Asuka disappeared. She laid back down and closed her eyes. She needed to know if Roman really did still want to help her, to save Nova. Opening her eyes, she was in Roman's room. He was asleep in his bed. She walked over and placed her hand on his arm.
He jumped up and blinked before her form came into view.
"Nova", he said.
"I didn't know if you wanted to see us, after what we did", she said.
She sat on his bed.
"I don't remember any of it. I woke up and everyone was gone, you, were gone. You left us", she said.
Roman realized this wasn't Nova, but her Phoenix or it could be Asuka, testing him.
"I want Nova", he said.
The Phoenix nodded.
"Will she be safe with you?", she asked.
"She will always be safe with me", he said.
The Phoenix nodded. The violet in her eyes faded. Nova's shoulders sagged and she looked completely exhausted. Roman wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her more up the bed to lay beside him.
"Where am I?", she asked.
"Home", he said.
She met his eyes.
"I feel so sick", she said.
He touched her cheek gently.
"Where are you? Before you fell asleep", he said.
"My grandparents. I'm staying with them", she said sleepy.
He nodded. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Did I really hurt Sarah?", she asked, her voice breaking.
He nodded. Her bottom lip trembled and her tears fell. She clutched her head.
"You also killed the Druids. Those men are powerful. How did you do it Nova? How could you?", he asked.
"Stop", she cried, shaking her head.
He took a hold of her wrists.
"I can't let you live", he said.
"But you told her, that you wouldn't hurt me. I trusted you, I vouched for you", Nova said.
"I have too. It's the only way to stop this", he said.
He held her down, his eyes turning red and black. She could feel the heat coming off his body.
"Roman", she said scared.
"Forgive me", he whispered.
Her Phoenix had enough. She came out and pushed Roman off her and against the wall. She sat up. Her eyes bright violet.
"I told you Nova. Everyone wants to hurt us", the Phoenix said.
"Nova, don't listen to her", Roman growled, trying to fight her powers.
"I told her you were a liar, but she didn't believe me. You just proved me right. You abandoned us and now you want to kill us. You are suppose to be our mate. You are suppose to love us and forgive us. You are no different", the Phoenix said.
She let Roman go. He slid down the wall and he stood slowly.
"Hummingbird, you know what you've done. Hurting people is not right", he said.
"Oh but stealing their souls is?", she asked.
"That's different", he said.
"How? You kill people for their souls. I kill people who've killed or hurt others", she said.
"I failed you, we both know that and I'm sorry, but getting back at the ones who hurt us solves nothing", he said.
"But it makes me feel a whole lot better", she said.
He grabbed her arms and met her eyes.
"You can't hurt me, as much as you want to kill me to make everyone else happy. You can't", she said, tears falling.
He took her wrist and noticed the bracelet. He went to pull it off, but it shocked him. She stood on her toes and kissed him. As much as he told himself to stop this, he couldn't. The pull to her was too strong. His hands had a mind of their own. Touching her and pulling her closer to his body.
"It could be like this forever. Just you and me. No rules, no one to control us. Come with me my mate, you won't regret it", she whispered against his lips.
He wanted to say yes. So badly. She laid back on his bed and he moved on top of her. Her hands gliding up his back, he moaned.
"Lets rule together my love", she whispered.
He shook his head before standing.
"No. That's not what I want", he said, moving farther away from her.
"You pick this pack, over me?", she asked.
Roman shed a tear.
"Over the Phoenix, the killer? Yes. Over Nova, never", he said.
"I am her, why can't you get that. She and I are the same person", she shouted.
He shook his head no.
"Nova would never hurt anyone", he said.
His house shook. Then his bed caught on fire.
"We hate you. You will never see her again", she said.
"You're wrong. I will see her again, when the moment comes to kill her. I will be the one to do it", he said.
She faded away. Roman sighed, he licked his lips. His bed stopped burning.
"Finn", he called.
Finn appeared and looked over his room.
"What the hell did you do?", Finn asked.
"It was the Phoenix. She was here and, Nova is fading.", he said.
"If you would have told me there was no saving her yesterday. I wouldn't have believed you, but the Phoenix is growing stronger and, Agartha can feel it. After the Druids, I believe we need to kill her", Finn said.
Roman looked at him.
"Get my pack ready. We leave tonight", Roman said.
Finn nodded. As much as he wanted to help Becky, Brie, and Bryan to save Nova. It was too late.
The next morning, the Phoenix stood from her bed. Not letting Nova out anymore. No one was going to disappoint her. She made her way down and looked at her grandfather.
"What was this I hear about you having Demon problems?", she asked.
Emerson smirked.
"I'll show you who", he said standing.
Nikki stood.
"No. Dad, don't do this", she said.
"Shut up. Don't act like you didn't know what he was planning once I was done with the Demons.", the Phoenix said.
"What are you talking about?", Nikki asked.
The Phoenix sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Mind your own business", she said.
She followed Emerson to his office. He pulled out a book about their history. She read it, catching the names of the Demons.
"Need some help?", Emerson asked.
She smirked.
"Not from you. As soon as I'm done with them, I'm coming for you", she warned.
She left his office.
"Asuka", she called.
The seer appeared beside her.
"Find me Kane", she said.
Asuka nodded.
Brie and Bryan showed up to the castle with Becky. They walked in and stopped when they saw Nikki and John talking.
"Brie", Nikki said, hugging her twin.
"Where is she? I know she's here", Brie said.
"Dad", Nikki said.
Before Brie could make her way to find her dad's office. Nova stood in front of them.
"Nova, sweetheart", Brie said, going to take a step towards her daughter.
The Phoenix backed up.
"She's not here right now", she said.
"Let me speak to her, she's my daughter", Brie said.
"No. You lied to her, you kept who she was from her. Then you put up a wall in her head, blocking me from her. She and I were one till you did that. You did this to us. Some mother you are", the Phoenix said.
"I did that to protect you. The witches said it would work", Brie said.
"The witches", the Phoenix said.
Brie realized that was a bad idea. She was going after the ones who hurt her.
"Nova, please. We were only trying to protect you. We were trying to avoid your grandparents finding you and turning you into this person. This person we don't recognize", Bryan said.
"Well they didn't do this to me. You two did. If you would have told me who I was, we could have avoided all of this to begin with. This is on you", she said.
"Asuka, she's trying to control you", Brie said.
The Phoenix threw Brie back. She hit the back of her head on the ceiling. Dropping to the floor hard.
"Stop. She's telling the truth. Try removing that bracelet from your wrist. You won't be able too.", Bryan said, checking on his wife.
She was still breathing. The Phoenix looked down at her wrist and tried to remove the bracelet. She couldn't. The ground underneath them started shaking. They could hear thunder outside.
"Nova. Sweetheart, if you can hear me. We love you, we just want to help. Fight her, this is your body, your mind", Bryan shouted at his daughter.
The Phoenix clutched her head and bent forward.
"No. Stop", she said.
"You can do it", Bryan encouraged.
The Phoenix screamed before standing up straight and rolling her shoulders back. She smirked.
"She's not strong enough to fight me", she said.
"You are killing her", Bryan said.
"And if I do so what? She's weak. She trust people she's not suppose too. All anyone in her life does, is disappoint her. No one can ever protect her like I can.", she said.
Bryan stood and approached the Phoenix.
"Please, I promise I will find a way to help her. I'm sorry I wasn't there to stop this, but I won't let anything happen to her again.", Bryan said.
"Lies", the Phoenix shouted.
In the distance they heard howls. The Phoenix looked at Bryan. Feeling betrayed.
"He's trying to kill us and you brought him here. You want us dead just as much as he does.", she accused.
"No. I don't know why he's here", Bryan said.
Emerson came out of the hall and attacked Nova. A barrier protected her. She was pissed now. She throw Emerson across the room. The window broke and a piece of glass was sticking straight up. She threw him against it and it went right through him.
Bryan took a step back.
"Nova, what did you do?", her dad asked.
"Protecting myself", she answered.
Emerson's body turned into ash and she collected it. She shook the small jar and tilted her head as she watched it.
"Born from ashes, no more", she said.
She disappeared and then reappeared behind her grandmother. Taking a knife to her throat and slitting it. Just like her grandfather, her grandma turned into ash and she collected that as well.
"Nova, what did you do?", Brie asked, slowly getting back up.
"Relax, their fine. These jars stop them from reincarnating. Dear old grandpa taught us that. Don't need them trying to stop me", she said.
She walked over to her parents and aunts.
"Help me? My final offer before I rip you apart", she said.
