Aya stared at her reflection in a stream, crimson feathers, three toed feet and a sharp beak able to rip into the necks of her enemies, but something didn't feel right to her, this wasn't what she really looked like. 'This isn't me,'
:beloved, you're being really silent, what's wrong?: Kreel asks as he came beside her and folded his wings to his sides,
:This isn't me, I'm not a phoenix, I'm a person. I want to be with the girls but not as a bird.: Aya answers, :I want to be me again:
:Well turn into your normal form," Kreel replies, :Besides I don't like hiding here when the girls are only a few wing beats away from me as well.:
Aya inclined her head in an affirmative and gathered in her aura fire erupted around her and she spread her wings and grew bigger and bigger until she reached the height of a full grown woman, she was clothed in a crimson princess cut gown, the sleeves flowing behind her like tail feathers, she had brunette hair with crimson streaks, and if someone were to look into her eyes, they were sapphire with crimson flecks in them,
Kreel changed his form as well, "Still has beautiful as the last time, I saw this form,"
"Thank you, love." Aya replies, her voice was a little airy from not being used as a human,
"May I have this dance?" Kreel bowed then held out his hand,
"You may," Aya replies, as she placed her slender hand in Kreel's.
They danced to the beating of each other's hearts not paying attention to their surroundings,
~~~~~ Dino Lab~~~~
Desiree paced around the lab, her worry was increasing by the second, she hadn't seen Aya in days, she was finally at her breaking point,
"Sis?" Angelica asks coming downstairs licking an ice-cream popsicle, "what's wrong?"
"Aya, I'm worried about her, I haven't seen her in days, I can't even sense her presence in my mind like I can yours," Desiree replies,
Angelica threw away the popsicle stick and put her hands on her hips, "well what are we waiting for? Let's go search for her, if we really have to we can get some ninja gliders."
Desiree leapt at her twin and hugged her, "Thanks sis!"
"Less hugging more searching," Angelica gasped out
so the twins set out to find their missing feathered friend
Out in the forest, Desiree punched a tree trunk "She's not here!"
"Shut up and come over here, this is strange." Angelica states as she was up in the same tree
Desiree ninja streaked up the tree and crouched beside her sister as she was starting at a couple dancing in the area that was Aya's hunting grounds,
"What the hell?" Desiree asks, as she glanced at her sister, "that gown is the same color as Aya's feathers,"
The woman was spun around and the twins nearly fell out of the tree in shock and surprise, the woman's eyes were the same color as Aya's,
The woman laughed and playfully shoved the man then her back stiffen like she knew that they were there. "We're not alone, love."
Desiree had to grip the branch above her as she heard Aya's voice coming from the woman,
the woman came closer with the man shadowing her with his hand on the hilt of his sword,
"Desiree, Angelica, you can come down now." the woman states,
"Who are you?" Angelica asks
The woman smiled softly then her image flashed between the woman and the phoenix
"It can't be possible!" Desiree exclaimed, "How are you human!"
"Born this way, flame of my heart." the woman know know as Aya replies,
"Then who is that behind you?" Angelica asks trying to contain her own shock
"Kreel, my life-mate." Aya answers as she slightly turned and place a hand on Kreel's chest,
"Why do you look like me?" Desiree asked
"Actually it's you who looks like me," Aya answers,
Desiree shook her head and then ninja streaked away it was to much for the teenager,
Angelica looked after the crimson blur and back to Aya and Kreel, "I don't know what to say,"
"Go after your sister, I think you are the only one to comfort her right now," Aya replies,
Angelica nods then follows after her sister, wondering why Kreel was wearing the colors of her element.
Kreel looked at Aya, "Shouldn't we have told them?"
"They're not ready for that information just yet, we can't let it slip that we're their biological parents," Aya replies,
