Hi guys,
Here I am with a new chapter. I plan to write it faster as I simply lose interest very soon and sometimes leave stories hanging. So here is new chapter. I am warning again I don't own any of these characters and my plots are sometimes inspired from others. Hilary is gonna be seem out of character in my next Chapter but no worries she will return to her strong tough Lady attitude in the end. Sorry to those who have seen the first chapter (Prologue) full of signs. I have already fixed it. My apologies! I hope you guys are still here and please leave at least one review for any ideas or problems.
Tyson: Just start it already..(Rolling his eyes)
ME: Impatient As ever I see..(sighing)
''-Thinking
""-speaking
I tried to keep all speech 'bold'. Forgive if some of those are not. I made some little changes in the first chapter seemed necessary. Hope you like it.

Fire ~ Fire

We could hear the faraway sound of heavy wheels and distant cries. That only meant one thing. They were coming to collect a new batch.

Tyson immediately took control.

"Quick! Hide and be quiet. Emily close the curtains. Mariah, lights off." he whispered yelled. We hurdled together in the kitchen.

All this is not actually going to stop them from taking us if they really wanted to, but still we always try and stop them from considering our house.
Tyson holds me tightly in his arms while I held onto Mariah's hand on my right. Daichi and Emily were both close behind us.

The sound of the wagons got louder and louder. They were in our street now. We all held our breaths as we stood frozen in our spots.

If in any case they come up and order you into a wagon, you have no right to say 'No.' The wagons take you straight to the palace where you become a slave. Of course they called you 'servants' but we know better. Whether you liked it or not, it's an "honor" to work in the palace as slaves. It's an honor to die for the royals. That's what they keep feeding our brains until we accept it.

As they came close to our neighbor on the right, Tyson held me closer. I was trembling. Mariah's palm was already sweaty. There's only so many times they can miss our house. I heard voices of protest come from our neighbor. Parents being separated from children. The children were crying. Either the parents or the children were taken. That much we could make out.

Tyson stiffened. I then placed my free hand over his arm in a comforting manner as I knew how much this bothered him. Just then I realized they were done with my neighbor.

We were next.

The mechanical sound that came from the wheels of the wagons were the scariest sound you'll ever hear. Once they take you, you're done. For life. No getting out.
Would it stop? Would it pass?

One can only pray.

We all stopped breathing and the was silence. Only silence. Silence that could kill. And it was killing me. Every second of it felt as if all the air was being sucked out of my lungs. Then, after a few near heart attacks, and heightened blood pressure, after a few painfully slow minutes, we heard the wagons move pass our house.

As seconds turned into minutes, we couldn't hear them anymore.

"This is getting bad. This is getting really really bad! " Mariah said panicking.

"What is?" Tyson asks.

"The last time they needed a fresh batch was three weeks ago guys! It's supposed to be once a month! " Mariah waved her hands frantically "It's becoming more and more often, means more and more slaves are dying. Quickly at that." She said sounding furious even in her whisper. Tyson held her arm "We survived another round. I think we should be thankful."

"Yeah he's right. At least we know we're in the clear for another mon.. I mean three weeks right?" I chipped in.

"Oh joy! Hurreh for us!" Daichi said, his voice filled with sarcasm.

"Don't try to be so tough. You think I missed the part where you held Emily's hand so fucking tightly? I wouldn't be surprised if she fractured a couple of her fingers ." Tyson bursts out,grinning.

"So you saying I'm strong?"

"Just. Shut. Up. Scaredy cat. You're just as thankful as the rest of us," Tyson says

"Fine! Daddy."

Turns out Tyson was right. Emily's right hand and arm had red finger prints on them. I asked her to sit while I rubbed and massaged her hand.
I looked at Daichi and saw him stare at Emily's hand with a look of concern. When he realized I was looking, he immediately diverted his gaze somewhere else.
"Well, let's at least enjoy our dinner?" Mariah said after a few moments.
We talked about our day while having dinner. All of us except Daichi of course. He was busy playing with his soup until Emily slapped his hand. She winced as her hand was still sore. Daichi gave her an evil smile. Only Mariah and Tyson could fully control him.

After dinner, it was Emily and Daichi's turn to help Mariah clean up. Just as I went to close the blinds again, I saw it.
Bright orange light which reached the sky. I also noticed that the flame was slowly spreading.

He was doing it. Again.

"Great! He's burning something again?!" Daichi asked from the kitchen.

"Well at least we don't hear any screams. Means he's not burning people. It looks like it's somewhere deep in the forest." Mariah answered.

"How is that any better?! Poor animals." Daichi complained.

"Number one, stop shouting. Number two, since when did you become an animal lover?" Tyson asked truly curious.

"Number one I'm angry. I hate that bastard. Number two, no animals means less chance of us EVER getting any meat. Not even cute bunny meat." Daichi proudly replied. Tyson gave up talking to him. Daichi sure is something else.

"That's a huge fire Tyson, wonder what's made the Dark Prince so angry again." I was always curious. So much anger. For what? What could make one feel that amount of rage? Was it even worth it?
Some say he cannot control his powers while others say that he's a monster just like his line of Royal Pure Blood's. The thing is he is not just a Royal Pure Blood. He has vila blood running through his veins as well. Maybe that's what made him what he is now.

"That guy has issues!" Daichi angrily spoke.

"Ssshhh Daichi. Keep it down. We could get in trouble," I scolded him.

"Is it true that he can't control it?" It was Emily this time.

"Daichi or the Prince?" Tyson teased which earned him a scowl from Daichi.
Mariah took a seat on one of the chairs near Emily. "The Prince has vila blood in him Emily. The Vilas, elves and certain witches posses light magic while vampires, werewolves and certain witches posses dark magic or dark powers. Only the trolls and humans are well...neutral. The king happened to fall in love with an ordinary vila almost 600 years ago th-"

"Screw that dude as well! He's the cause of my current situation!" Daichi cut in.

"Stop shouting!" We said simultaneously.

"Can I continue?" She started eyeing Daichi daring him to interrupt again.

"Yes Mariah, please." I leaned forward cupped my face in my palms and rested both elbows on my knees, waiting eagerly.

"Where was I? Aaahh, despite many objections from the royals and the royal vila people, they were stubborn. Insisted on following their hearts. And of course he turned her into a Vampire. Although, he didn't actually need to. The queen asked for it so that she could please his side of the family. Vampires and vila creatures aren't supposed to merge or be one. In other words light and dark magic shouldn't be put together. As we all know the Queen gave birth to 4 children. Everything went well after his birth of course.

The king and queen never expected anything to go wrong until it was too late. Until they gave birth to their first born.

Until the Dark Phoenix Prince.

See when Royal Pure Blood vampires happen to have mix marriages, their blood, the power of their Pure Bloods not get affected. Meaning their offspring will inherit all its powers just the same. Means nothing can go wrong if a Royal Pure Blood vampire decides to marry a human, a troll or any dark magic creatures.

The problem arises when the Royals wed creatures with light magic. Their blood becomes tainted. That's kind of what happened with the Dark Prince. All went well with the vampire side of him. It's just that instead of inheriting light magic of the vila, it got mixed up, tainted and it turned into dark magic. Somehow despised his mother being an ordinary Vila, he happen to be blessed with the power of Great Vermillion bird, master of Fire and second strongest Guardians of The Core, simply Phoenix but it also become Dark one,A Dark phoenix. So he's dark and dark. He has two dark sides. No balance. Half vampire and half dark vila."

"Ohhhh. Wait, how about his three other siblings? They're just fine." Emily asked.

"Well the King and Queen learnt from their mistakes. So, when the Queen found out that she was pregnant again, they couldn't bear to think about what would happen if another was born like the Dark Prince, so they had help from witches with light magic. They visited the coven leaders and asked for advice.

The witches came up with something to balance out and suppress any signs of possible catastrophe within them. They created a spell and put it on the others. Too bad they couldn't do anything to help the Dark Prince. Even the king and queen couldn't do anything to help him. For years they tried to fix him. To get him to learn how to control his powers. They traveled the world looking for a solution. Anything.

Sadly they couldn't. So he grew up and it's been a few centuries but he still can't control it. And he has probably excepted who he is. Maybe he even likes being who he is. All mighty and powerful. He is the strongest creature alive anyway. Well Except from missing vila Prince who was known to be blessed by another guardian beast Blue Azura Dragoon's Light even before his birth. It is said and believed by my people that dragons being stronger than Phoenixes, the master of storm, Vila Prince could be the strongest rival of master of Fire Vampire Prince or even stronger Than the phoenix prince. But both the prince and his twin sister is missing for years, every people met the young prince was mesmerized by his strength even when he was a mare child." Mariah thought for a moment.

"You bet! And that means..."

"I swear if u scream again..." Tyson warned Daichi.

"You'll do what? Make me sleep outside again?" Daichi dared to ask. Tyson just gave him the look.

"Yes Tyson, I really think you should do that again," Emily muttered under her breath but it didn't go unnoticed by Daichi.

"Why are you on his side?! You're supposed to be on mine. Always." He whined looking annoyed while Mariah snickered.

"I like Tyson more so I'll always be on his side. Plus he's not a moron." Emily shot back.

Ouch.

Was that hurt I see in Daichi's eyes?

No way.

"Whatever. Coming back, all I'm saying is that there's no excuse. He's hurt and killed a lot of people. If he's angry there a super huge fire. If Vila's anxious, he would bring out a bloody storm, if he's..."

"We get it Daichi. No one said it was an excuse. So calm down." I said then turned towards Mariah. "How come those witches couldn't fix him?" I asked.

"I'm not so sure Eve. I heard those witches put the spell on each child while they were still in the womb. Maybe nothing could done to a child which has already been born and grown up?"

'poor prince' Hilary shook her head getting rid of such a ridiculous. Dark prince was anything but a poor soul..
