PART 6
"Are you ready to do this?" Star asked Phoenix from one end of the pool.
"Yeah," She said shrugging. "I've done things like this before so it's really no bog deal." It was true, she had done these things before, except the other times, it was for a different side. All she had to do was play it cool and one would know anything.
"Don't worry." Megan said. "It's nothing. A bit of a break-in, get some files, it's easier than it sounds."
"I'm sure." Phoenix said.

"Are we all ready?" Thorn asked the girls. He and everyone else were dressed all in black and black covering their heads if they had light hair.
"Yeah," Star said, "Let's get this over with."
They all got into a different car than the ones Phoenix had seen earlier. The whole ride Phoenix was worried that someone would see her in the Day Break house and blow her cover. Thierry hadn't told a lot of people where she was going, mainly to ensure her safety and she wasn't able to tell him what was going to happen tonight. Sooner than she would have liked, they where at the mansion.
"Come on Phoenix." Blake said to her when she hesitated to get out of the car. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can leave."
Phoenix nodded and got out of the car. Thorn lead them to where they were going to enter and they went in. So far so good, Phoenix thought, as she led Blake into Thierry's office. She didn't know where the files they were looking where so she couldn't say that they weren't there. She just had to hope that she found them, not Blake.
"I think I've found them." Blake whispered not long after they entered the office.
Phoenix sighed almost in dread, but hoped that Blake was wrong in what he had found. "Let me see." She whispered. Sure enough, what Blake had found was right. It was all the information Day Break had on the fourth Wild Power. Phoenix was surprised; it was more than they had told her. "Why didn't they tell me?" She said to herself.
"What?" Blake said, not having heard what she said.
Phoenix started; she hadn't known that she had spoken out loud. "Nothing. Just talking to myself. Come on let's get out of here fast."
"Best thing I've heard all day." Blake said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the door.
"Who's there?" A voice said from outside.
Phoenix and Blake froze. "Hide!" Phoenix said, not wanting the person to see her or have anything happen to anyone.
"No," Blake said. "We're leaving, now."
"Who are you?" The voice demanded. "And what are you doing in there?"
Phoenix recognised the voice now. It was Liam Ronan, a fox shapeshifter. Phoenix never really liked him, but always had to put up with him on missions.
"Phoenix?" He said walking further into the room. "What are you doing here? And who's he?"
Blake looked at her with question in his eyes that said 'we'll talk about this later.'
"Nothing." She muttered. "We're just leaving."
"I can't let you do that." Liam said. His eyes suddenly lit up with recognition. "I know who you are, Blake Redfern. You're going to die tonight vampire." He hissed reaching for a knife that Phoenix knew he always carried with him.
"No!" Phoenix gasped. "Let us go Liam."
"No," he said coldly. "I'm not letting this scum leave this house and neither are you."
Phoenix's eyes went yellow and cold. "Don't." She said softly. "You know what I'm capable of, let us go or die. It's as simple as that."
Liam's eyes widened. "You wouldn't kill me."
"Wouldn't I?" She responded quietly.
Liam decided to take his chances. He threw the knife in the direction of Blake's head, Phoenix caught it I mid air before it reached it's destination and before Liam could do anything, she threw and ball of fire at him. He was instantly incinerated.
"Wow," Blake said softly. Then he pulled at Phoenix's arm "Come on. Let's get out of here, somebody else was bound to hear what happened, and as interesting as that just was I don't want it repeated at the moment."
Phoenix couldn't move. She was shocked at what she had just done. She had killed a fellow Day Breaker. And the worse thing was, she didn't feel any guilt what so ever and had even enjoyed it. She realised that Bake was pulling her arm and went with him as they raced out of the house to the others.
"What happened?" Thorn demanded as they all j7umped into the car and sped off.
"Phoenix killed some nosey little 'shifter who interrupted us." Blake said a bit proudly.
"Wow," Thorn said, then smiled. "Wait ago Phoenix. That'll show the Day Breakers we mean business."
Phoenix just sat back in her seat and didn't say anything.
Blake looked over at her. He was a bit worried, she hadn't said anything and she was really pale. He guessed that it might have been her first kill and she was a little bit daunted by it. "I go the info." He said softly. "It has most of what we already know and more. I can't believe how much they have. I wonder how they got it."
"Probably asked nicely for it." Josh said.
"Where's the fun in that?" Thorn asked grinning wildly.
"We need to get this stuff to the council before we have any sort of celebrations." Blake said, looking over at Phoenix who still hadn't said anything yet. "Are you alright?" He asked her softly.
Phoenix shrugged but didn't say anything. She buried her head in his shoulder trying to block out the world. Blake put his arm around her and held her close, trying to bring her as much comfort as he could. He hadn't totally forgotten that Liam and Phoenix had known each other though, and was going to ask her about it later.
