Royalphoenix: Hey ppls. Here's the fourth chapter. Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Phoenix headed towards the beach.

'You 3 are ready but I'm not,' thought Phoenix as she sat down on the sand watching the sunset. A tear slid down from her eyes.

'You 3 are lucky you don't have a past like mine. You 3 don't have dreams, which are really parts of you past. You 3 didn't die,' thought Phoenix.

"Hey why are you crying?" asked a voice beside her. She turned her head and looked up to see that a boy of her age standing next to her.

"Its nothing," said Phoenix. The boy sat down next to her.

"I'm Ray," said Ray.

"Phoenix," said Phoenix.

"Are you sure that you're ok?" asked Ray.

"Look I don't want your sympathy ok," snapped Phoenix.

"Fair enough," said Ray. Neither spoke for a few minutes after that.

Phoenix was the first to break the silence.

"Look I'm sorry for snapping at you. Thanks for what you did."

"That's ok but thanks for what? I did nothing," said Ray.

"For making sure that I was alright," said Phoenix as she got up, "I should go. My friends will be worried about me. I'll se you around."

"Yeah see-ya," said Ray as he watched Phoenix walk away.

"Hey Phoenix where have you been? We were just about to go look for you," said Ash as Phoenix walked into the hotel room'

"Nowhere," replied Phoenix. She walked into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.

"I think she wants to be left alone. Come on its late. Also the tournament starts tomorrow," said Mirra as she yawned. With that the 3 girls went to bed.

Phoenix laid in her bed wide awake. She knew what would come if she closed her eyes but she also knew that the tournament was tomorrow. She sighed and closed her eyes.

(Dream/Memory)

The last thing the 11-year-old Phoenix saw before she died was a piece of metal descending towards her. Then everything went black. The 11-year-old Phoenix shut her eyes hoping that everything was just a dream. The next thing she knew she was resurrected and standing up. The 11 year old looked down at herself. There were no signs of her ever being pierced except that the metal that descended on her was in her hands covered in blood. She dropped the metal with a shocked look on her face. Some one walked up to her. She didn't raise her head to see who it was.

"You're alive but how can that be. I saw you die. Who are you?" asked a voice, which belonged to none other, then Voltaire

The girl looked up. Voltaire was surprised to see determination and fire within her eyes. Without knowing it the 11-year-old spoke.

"I am Phoenix. I have been your experiment in the past but that is going to change. You made me into a cold, harsh person with a heart of ice. That ice has melted. You no longer control me. I am free. I am wild. I have the determination and fire within my eyes like a phoenix. Hence the name Phoenix."

The 11-year-old Phoenix walked past Voltaire and out of Balkov Abbey never to return again. Voltaire was too shocked to try and stop her.

(End Dream/Memory)

Phoenix woke up calmer than the night before. She was only slightly panting. She at least now knows how she escaped Balkov Abbey. However one thing still remained a mystery

'How did I get resurrected?' she asked herself.

Royalphoenix: There you go please read and review. Thanks.
