Phoenix walked into the room looking at everyone. They all had looks of shock on their faces, except Macon.
"A dragon." Thorn swallowed. "But that's not possible. If he was a dragon then everyone would have known."
Phoenix shook her head. "No they wouldn't. Everyone knows how powerful the dragons are. My father was one of the most powerful. He had been asleep for thousands of years and one day he just woke up. He never found out why he woke up or if someone woke him up. He hid his horns so that no one would know that he was a dragon, and joined the Night World."
"But there's a whole history of his past there." Josh said confused. "How did all of that happen?"
"My father was a very smart man," Phoenix explained. "He found out that if people knew about him, they would use him. So he made up a past and used it as his own. No one questioned him so no one knew the truth."
"What I don't get is how he hid his horns." Thorn said. "I mean that would not be an easy task, they're pretty obvious."
"Not if he used glamours." Megan said.
Phoenix looked at her. "How did you know that?"
She shrugged. "That's the only way that people wouldn't have been able to seem them."
"So your mother joined the Night World for you father." Thorn said. "But your parents are dead. Why would they have been killed if they were part of the Night World?"
"How do you know that they died?" Josh said. "It said in the report that their bodies were never found."
"They had to have died, why else would they have left their only daughter." Thorn said.
Star could see that Phoenix was getting upset with all of this talk about her parents. "Look guys, I really don't think that this is the right time for us to be discussing this."
"She's right." Blake said, looking at Phoenix. "We don't really need to talk about this now. Phoenix needs to get some rest."
"No Phoenix doesn't need to get some rest." Phoenix said sarcastically. "I feel fine."
Blake took her by the elbow and started to lead her out of the room. "Yes you do. You just don't know it yet."
Phoenix pulled her arm away and moved away from him. "I know perfectly well what I want and what I feel Blake, and right now I feel fine."
Everyone could see that Blake was getting angry with Phoenix arguing with him. "I'm your soulmate and I know what you need. And at the moment you need rest."
"That doesn't mean anything Blake. You can't dictate to me. I'm not a little girl; I know how to look after myself. I've been doing that very well ever since the Night World killed my parents." Phoenix walked away from Blake and went over to where Macon was. "And you know why they killed my parents don't you Macon? In fact you were the one that ordered it."
"What makes you think that?" Macon scoffed.
"You think really loud." Was all Phoenix said.
"What do you mean think really loud?" Star asked.
"Oh didn't I tell you?" Phoenix asked innocently. "I can read people' minds without even trying. The louder the person thinks, the more I can hear."
"That pretty cool." Thorn said.
"It is. It also comes in handy at times like this as well. Because at this time I can read all of you. Thorn thinks that I've gone a little bit crazy and the rest of you want to know why Macon would order my parents death."
"Why?" Blake asked crossing his arms. He wasn't happy with the way that Phoenix was acting. He could tell that she was weak at the moment and needed rest. But he could also tell that she wanted to do this, she wanted to tell whatever she needed to tell.
"Because he was in love with my mother." Phoenix said. Macon glared at her but didn't say anything. "He and my father were partners, two of the very best in the entire Night World. But then Macon met my mother; he fell in love with her. But then she met my father, they were soulmates, no one could resist that bond. Macon got jealous. Isn't that right Macon?"
Macon nodded, "I had her first. It always happened, I had a girl and then your father would come along and take her away from me. It hadn't mattered before but I loved your mother and he took her away from me."
"So you killed them." Star stated. She shook her head, "Do you know how sad that is? You're pathetic, who would do that, they were soulmates. You took away a child's right to know her parents." Star was getting upset and Thorn tried to calm her down. Star had lost her parents at a young age as well and knew what it felt like to grow up all alone.
"No it's not!" Macon roared. "I was in my right doing that. I loved her!"
"That doesn't mean you kill her and her soulmate because of that!" Star yelled. "If you had really loved her you wouldn't have done that. You sick jerk!!!"
Macon was practically simmering with anger. Phoenix could see him gathering up his energy to throw at Star.
Star could see that as well but couldn't do anything other that stare in shock as he threw it at her.
"Star!" Thorn yelled in panic, watching the energy come towards his soulmate.
But the it never reached Star, just before it got to her a bright yellow force-field appeared in front of her. Everyone looked to see who was doing it and they saw Phoenix.
Her eyes were bight amber and glowing and she had a real angry look on her face. "I don't like people hurting my friends," she said as she calmed down. "Do you want to know something Macon?" Phoenix asked as she walked up to him.
"What is it?" he asked a bit nervously.
"My mother didn't like you very much. My mother wasn't even and ordinary witch." Phoenix started to explain.
"What was she?" Josh asked, impressed with the way Phoenix was acting.
"She was a God." Phoenix looked at Josh and answered him calmly. She turned back to Macon and her eyes were glowing amber again. "Do you know what happens when you mix and dragon with a God?"
"No," He swallowed.
"You get me." Phoenix said and leaped towards him.
