My Immortal

Chapter 2

Fire Proof

Here's a chance to show you how I feel

A chance for you to see it's real

To see just what I feel inside and who it is that's by my side

I will never change my mind

Try to torch me and you'll find

You can't turn me or deter me

No matter how you try You can't burn me

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it

I am FIREPROOF

I know my heart and I just can't deny it

I am FIREPROOF

I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet

I am FIREPROOF

I'll never bow down and you won't buy it

I am FIREPROOF

Now you know what I'm all about

There's no chance I'll ever doubt

The only one who can control me I extol the Almighty

You want me to put it on the line

And give yield to you this time

See but I won't compromise and

I realize It's my time to rise

I know where I stand and what'll happen if you try it

I am FIREPROOF

I know my heart and I just can't deny it

I am FIREPROOF

I tried to tell you but you wouldn't be quiet

I am FIREPROOF

I'll never bow down and you won't buy it

I am FIREPROOF

You'll never take me in the fire

You'll never take my own desire

"So um Colin.....when did your powers really show up?" Phoenix asked her ice blue eyes going softer to a paler blue.

"Are you sure you really want to hear it?"

"Ah do...Ah wouldn't have asked otherwise. And we've known each other for a while....sure we don't talk a lot but....you can tell me. Ah don't tell secrets."

He sighed nodding slowly before beginning. "My.....powers really showed last year. I was normal....had a girlfriend named Alyshia. I was happy with her, and I thought she was so with me. I caught her with another man and.....Phoenix I lost it. They're both dead now...."Colin trailed off looking away, unable to meet the eyes of the woman sitting in front of him. She reached out lightly touching his shoulder, making him meet her eyes.

"You ain't the only one who's been through that sugah. Ah lived in the country just outside of Montgomery, in Alabama. Ah also had a boyfriend named Andrew. Then one night Ah and one of mah friends went out to a dance, and I caught him cheating as well....with mah best friend. They saw me storm outta there and ran after me. Andrew grabbed me by the arm and the next thing Ah knew, I'd frozen the both of them into solid rocks of ice. Ya see? There are only three differences between you and me. One is that Ah've been here on and off with mah dad all mah life. Two is that Ah've always been in the US. And three is that we've got different powers. We're both only human hon, we ain't fireproof.Dont blame yourself, it's really her loss" Phoenix said her soft southern accent thickening quite a bit. She stood walking through the door up to the first floor. She walked to the room she was sharing with the new girl who was going to arrive tomorrow.

~@~~!!@~~~~~

Phoenix walked out of the kitchen out onto the grounds, her friends chatting eagerly about Marie's next date beside her. She saw Colin and the new girl walking around on the grounds. She was very pretty, with long black hair and bright red streaks. In fact she recognized her immediately. The girl saw Phoenix and ran to her, hugging like she would a friend. Phoenix returned the hug before stepping back.

"Emma? What are you doing here?"

"It's nice to see you too Phoenix. Well I'm going to be the new doctor-"

"You two know each other?" Colin asked, looking almost as confused as Jenni looked, but then again Jenni is always confused about something.

"Yes we know each other. Girls this is mah dad's old.....very old friend Emma Elton. Emma these are mah friends Asia, Rogue, Jubilee, Kitty, Connie, and Jenni-"

"Jubilee isn't her real name is it?"

"My full name is Jubilation Lee but everyone calls me Jubilee."

"So how do you know Colin?"

"Long story....."
