PHOENIX FIRE
Chapter 2
Kai's POVI lay there in bed the next morning while Tala went to get ready.
Ember was still sleeping and looked like she was having a nightmare. She kept tossing and turning and at times would say, 'Mother, Father, it was all my fault. Please…forgive me.'
It made me thinks of that vision I had last night. I was wondering if she was thinking of the same thing.
All of a sudden, she shot up out of bed and screamed like there was someone about to kill her.
I ran up to her and heard the bathroom door burst open and Tala run out.
"What the heck is going on?"
"I don't know," I said.
She kept screaming for a bit and then, her eyes just closed and she slumped forward into my arms. I saw a tear fall from her eyes.
"What was that all about? It sounded like she was being raped or murdered." Tala said quietly while examining her.
I didn't say anything, just kept holding onto her and looking to see if anything was wrong.
Her eyes started to twitch and they opened really slowly. She looked around the room, like she didn't know where she was. She then looked up at me.
She looked terrified.
Ember's POVI looked up at Kai and saw that he and Tala both where staring at me.
I was still shocked about the dream. In this one, my parents actually started to yell at me for letting them die. And then I saw the man again and saw them die again.
"What's wrong? You ok?" Tala asked quietly by my head.
I looked at him for a second and nodded yes. I was ok, for the most part. I wasn't going to say anything about the dream though.
"Hey…your wings are gone." Tala said.
I just then realized that they were gone. All that was left was the marks on my back that looked like tattoos.
They were amazing. They looked like a bunch of swirls and lines. And in the middle was a sun.
I ran into the bathroom to see the designs for myself.
They were amazing and they started to pulse when I thought about the wings, about how they were warm.
I came out of the bathroom and saw the two waiting for me. They still looked a little shaken up from me screaming but they were a bit calmer than before.
I walked up to them and said I was ready to go and see Voltaire. They said we had to go find Bryan, Spencer, and Ian first.
They took me to the dining are and looked around for the three. They found them and started to walk away leaving me behind.
I ran up to them and saw that the three we were looking for were a couple of characters.
One had a big nose and purple hair; he was throwing something at the one with sort of white hair. The last one was sitting there quietly watching the two argue over the little fight.
They saw us come up and said hi. They then looked at me, making me feel uncomfortable.
"Who's the chick?" the white haired guy asked.
I don't know why, but that made me angry. When he said 'chick' he said it in a…disgusted manor. That probably was what triggered the wings flying out of my back and me jumping on him, trying to claw his eyes out.
Kai had to grab my arms and Tala had to grab my wings to make them stop flailing. They probably where either going to burn someone or poke one of their eyes out.
The three, including the other people in the room, which was about 50 others, all stared at me with wonder.
I glared at every single last one of them. They just kept staring…and staring…and staring.
HOLY CROW!!!
STOP STARING AT ME!!!
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!?? STOP STARING OR I'LL PLUCK ALL OF YOUR EYES OUT!!"
I screamed so everyone in a 1-mile radius could probably here.
That made some of them flinch, but others just glared right back at me. The one closest to me was a kid with black hair and orange streaks. He had blood red eyes and he was wearing a uniform.
I walked up to him and grabbed him by his collar and just glared right back at him. He then tried to punch my gut, but I punched him in the face and spun around and back kicked him in the face again.
He fell and looked at me again and threw himself off the ground and ran at me ready to kill me.
My eyes went white and my wings spread out as far as they could go. They then made a sizzling noise and then fire came flying off of them. The fire circled the boy and then started to burn him slightly. He screamed in pain when the fire took his whole arm in its clutches.
That's when I snapped back to normal. I ran into the fire and grabbed the kid and flew out of the fire before it engulfed him and me both.
I placed him down and saw his look of pain. He just kept glaring at me, but I ignored it and took my hand over his arm. The fire came off of his arm and into my hands. It felt like a fluttering birds heart. So warm yet so tiny and fragile.
The boys wound then started to disappear and completely faded, leaving only a slight scar.
I turned around and saw everyone staring at me…again.
I walked up to the guys and said, "Let's go before someone makes me really mad and I don't snap again."
They nodded yes and lead me out into the hallway again.
Voltaire's officeHis POV
I watched the commotion of the morning in Kai and Tala's room. I saw how the marks on Ember's back were there instead of wings.
I then saw the commotion in the dining area as well.
I laughed when she lost her temper and attacked Robert, even harder when he was almost burned to death by her.
My plan was working wonders. Soon this little girl was going to become my weapon to destroy this world and take it over.
When they left the dining area, I switched the monitor off and went back to my work.
LaboratoryEmber's POV
We reached the office and were lead by Voltaire to the laboratory where there was a giant glass tube in the middle. It was big enough to hold about a whole beydish and 10 other people.
"Ok, Ember I want you to go into the tube over there and stand in the middle of the stadium," Voltaire said to me.
I did as told and walked away from the boys and stood in the middle of the dish. The door closed and was locked from the outside. That's when I started to panic.
Maybe it was just the phoenix inside of me, but I felt like an animal trapped in a cage, and I wanted out. I tried to calm myself down when I heard the noise of a beyblade being launched.
I looked over to were I heard the noise and saw the blade coming right at me. I flew up into the air and missed it by a centimeter.
I just floated there for a bit and then I landed on my feet. The blade was spinning right next to me.
It was a red blade with yellow streaks and black rims. It was very nice looking and had an empty space in the middle were the bitbeast should be.
I then looked back up to where the others were standing. They all had emotionless looks on their faces and Voltaire had a smirk on his. There was another purple haired guy next to him. He looked like he was around 30, maybe 40, years old.
"Ember, I want you to call out the phoenix inside you. I want to speak to him"
How am I supposed to do that! , I screamed in my head.
That's when I felt the warm feeling inside of me. I closed my eyes and saw the phoenix. He had red hair with orange and yellow streaks on it. His eyes were a red color and had 3 black dots round it. He was also in human form (If you didn't catch that). He was wearing a pair of black pants that looked like jeans and a long sleeved shirt that was red and orange.
Around his neck was a chocker that had a charm that looked like his eyes. He was also wearing a pair of black skater shoes.
IN EMBER'S HEAD"Who are you?" I asked the man in front of me.
"My name is Chaos. I am the phoenix spirit inside of you."
His voice sounded like honey but was a little ruff.
"Why don't you look like a phoenix right now?"
He laughed slightly like I was supposed to know why he looked like he was human.
"You are using my power right now. When you use the wings and the fire attacks that I posses, I become human. You will remain in human form when this happens, but you will have characteristics of a phoenix in you."
I looked at him with recognition. That made sense…sort of.
"OK, that makes some sense. Now if you don't mind me asking…"
"I don't mind. Ask away, Master."
"First of all, why do you call me master?"
"Because, I live in you and basically serve you for what ever purpose you need me for."
"Ok. Next is, how are you inside me?"
Chaos looked at me for a second before answering.
"You come from a clan that lived with bitbeasts when humans had no control over them in a blade. Your clan had helped the phoenix tribe, and other tribes as well; in a battle they had with a race of humans who wanted to use the bitbeasts to take over other tribes and other people in your world. In return for the help, some of the clans forged with your people and became one."
I stared at him while he spoke the story.
"The bitbeast then gave the
human the power they possessed and let you use it when you where in
danger or needed it at all."
"The tribe you are descended from are the only clan left with this tradition, but there is only one human who can be granted this in every 100 years. You were given this gift because my mother saw that you were fit to be a wielder of this power. She knew what was going to happen to you and gave you a bitbeast. Me, her only child."
I looked at Chaos for a bit and sucked in all this information. He then began to say more.
"I grew up with you, even if it doesn't look like it. In a way, we are twins, even though I look like I am 7 years older than you. Your kind and mine have different growth rates. We grow up quicker but remain at the age of around 20-30 in your kinds years. We remain with you until you die, and we die with you."
"That's…amazing. I never knew that that could ever happen."
"Yeah, and I look like I do because we also stay up with the times. If you where born in like the 70's I would look like the people in the 70's. Makes sense right?"
"Defiantly. This is so cool to know. I knew I was different but not this different, but now…I know why."
"Yep. So anymore questions?"
"Just one more. Can you take over my body and talk to the man named Voltaire? Oh, and would my shape change or would it remain the same?"
"Yes I will talk to the man, but your form will take on my look."
"Ok, so how do I let you take over?"
"Just chant these words…"
Laboratory"Come to me, my brother. Take my body and make it to your form. Show the world what fire can do and take the world and protect it. By the might of God, I ask of this."
I chanted those words twice, waiting for Chaos to take over my form.
It felt strange, having my body transform into someone else's. But, my mind let it happen, and I fell into the recesses of my mind, and let my mind be taken by Chaos.
Kai's POVI watched, as Ember got ready for the phoenix inside of her to speak for her. She stood there for about 2 minutes before she started to chant some words.
"Come to me, my brother. Take my body and make it to your form. Show the world what fire can do and take the world and protect it. By the might of God, I ask of this."
While she spoke, her wings fell back and returned to her body, leaving the tattoos showing.
Then her whole body started to change. It became taller and then it started to turn into a more muscular form. Then there was a red light that blinded the others and me.
When we looked back, there was a man around 23 standing there with his eyes closed. He had blood red hair with yellow and orange streaks in it. He was wearing a red long sleeved shirt and a pair of black jeans. He also wore skater shoes.
He then opened his eyes.
They were blood red with 3 black dots in the middle. It also looked like he had a chocker on that had a charm that looked just like his eyes.
"How may I be of service? My master wanted me to talk to you?"
"Yes, what is your name, phoenix?" grandfather said.
I resisted the urge to punch the man. He was so…grrr. No word could describe how I felt about him.
"My name is Chaos. I am the bitbeast that protects Ember from harm and aids her when needed."
Voltaire looked on at the man and then chuckled dryly.
"Your master? How is she you master? That is just to laugh at. A little girl controlling a bitbeast and calling her master. Hahahahah!"
Then all of a sudden, Chaos broke threw the glass, that was indestructible, and attacked Voltaire. He started glaring down at the old man.
"You will never speak about my master that way ever again. Is that clear?" Chaos asked in a deadly voice.
His red eyes were on fire with rage. Voltaire looked like he was scared.
I wish I had a camera. This was a Kodak moment right here.
Voltaire looked at Chaos and then shook his head once to say that he understood.
"Good. Now, I'm going to give my master back her body. And just so we all know. If any of you ever try to hurt her, I will rip you all to shreds and burn your bones until there aren't any ashes left. Clear?"
We all shook our heads in agreement and Chaos shook his as well.
"Very Well. Good bye to you all."
Then he closed his eyes and was gone in a red light again.
Ember's MindHer POV
I felt myself being pulled back to the surface and saw Chaos again.
He smiled at me and put a hand on my head and said, "They won't bother to hurt you at all. I will kill any of them if they try."
I looked at him and smiled.
"Not if I kill them first."
He laughed at that and disappeared.
I felt my body change back to normal and woke up.
Ember's POVI looked around and noticed that I was standing in front of the boys and Voltaire. They all had looks of shock, fear, and in Voltaire's case, Rage in their eyes.
"So, what did I miss?"
