chapter.... -.-;
Chapter 3:
There was nothing.
There was nothing there. No one was there. Nothing could be heard. She was falling. She couldn't feel anything. Except the cold. She gave an unheard sob, and tried to hug herself, burying her head into her arms. "Lee!!! Kara!!!!!!" she cried out pitifully, the loud words fading to a whisper in that cold place. More tears fell down her face. 'Please.... someone... anyone.... help me....'
And suddenly there was warmth. Her eyes opened. It felt like there was a - fire brushing against her very skin. But it didn't hurt. It was kind, warm, wise..... yet ancient. Wait, how could fire feel ancient? Something wrapped her in their arms, and she blinked. Feathers? Yes, feathers....feathers as soft as a cloud. She lifted her head, and her eyes went wide.
It was a phoenix.
She had heard stories of them, but she had never truly believed in them, or what people described them as. She had been wrong.
It's wings were enormous, large and powerful, crimson red in color. A large, sweeping group of tail feathers lightly soared behind its powerful body. The beak was a dark yellow, and its eyes were golden, so golden she felt she could have drowned in them. They were filled with a wisdom of the ages, intelligent, dangerous, full of the thing's she never could begin to understand in one lifetime. It was utterly magnificent. One golden eye turned to her, and she shivered slightly.
'..do not be afraid child.....'
She gasped. "...are...you talking...to me?" The phoenix, if possible, looked slightly amused. 'whom else would I be talking to?' Selena scratched her head sheepishly. Then the golden yes turned solemn. '...child...do you know where we are?' She looked up at him. "No....but...where is it? Where are we?" Her eyes widened. "Am...am I...." 'Yes.....you are dead....' The beautiful creature nuzzled her pale face with its beak. 'But do not fear.....I have come to help you.' "Hel-lp me? How? Why?" 'Do you remember the pendant that your friend gave you?' "Yeah...but what does that have to do with anyt-"'Ssh....listen to me. Because of it, your brother could not kill you directly. It will protect you from him and what...he has become.' Selena bit her lip. "Yeah...his eyes...they went all red...and he...he..." She looked up into the phoenix's face, features full of distress. "What happened to him? I mean, I know he can be bad sometimes, and he breaks my stuff, but...why would he kill anyone?" The Phoenix looked rather sad. 'Do you know the story...of the Dark lord, child?' "Um, which one? Harry Potter, of the Lord of the Rings?" (A/N: XD sorry, couldn't resist) The Phoenix, if possible, looked like it was going to laugh. 'The Lord of the Rings, young one.' She blinked. "Um, yeah, I've read the books and seen the movies....why?" The Phoenix gazed at her. 'A part of his soul....placed itself in your brother's heart.' Selena gaped at him. "Wai...wait a second! I thought that when Frodo destroyed the ring, Sauron was gone for good!' It shook its head. 'Not Sauron, child....but his master, Melkor.' (A/N: If you don't know who this is, then he's one of the Valar...well, formerly. He was the first Dark Lord, and master to Sauron. He was defeated by the other Gods, then sealed away, finally, in the dark reaches of space, or something like that. It is said that he is destined to remain imprisoned there until the end of the world, where he will become freed and fight against the Valar and all the souls of the good, and thus, bring about the end of the world. This is pretty much the whole story. If I'm wrong, please don't hate me. I only have a couple of web sites and The Book of Lost Tales as reference....)
Selena blinked. "So...it's the end of the world? Ragnorok?" The Phoenix shook its head. 'No child.....it is not to be for many more years....something has gone wrong in the past. Your brother may have died, but this shows that Melkor is becoming stronger. If he has the power to send parts of his soul into other's in your world....then, that can only mean that he could declare war upon the Valar, before the appointed time set by Illuvatar.' Selena sighed. "Well, that's all good and dandy, but what's to be done?" The Phoenix looked her in the eyes. Realization suddenly hit her. "Oh no...you can't be serious...." It nodded. She banged her head with her hand. "Why [bam] me?! [wham] This is [whap] turning out [smack!] like a [bonk] fanfiction! OW!" The Phoenix sweatdropped. She pouted slightly, and rubbed her forehead. "Okay, I'm better now..." 'I should hope so.' With a toss of its wings, she suddenly found her self on it's back. 'Now hold on tightly. We must leave this place.' Selena blinked. "Wait, wha-"Then the creature flapped its mighty wings and flew like lightning into the darkness, with our poor heroine hanging on for dear life.
A/n: I'm sorry it's not longer.... Poor Selena. -.- It sucks to be one of my characters. Sorry for the long wait, once again. But I have, just to let you know, been busy. Not only with the end of school, but also with my poetry and This is my new home for my angsty poetry and songs, and maybe one or two original fics. Thanks to everyone who's reviewed! Bai for now!
