Phoenix Fire

Chapter 7

Ember's POV

This was amazing!

I guess Chaos didn't know that there was another clan like mine that could do this.

"I didn't know at all that there was another clan…sorry."

I laughed at him in my head and then went back to the real world.

"Soooo…how about that battle?"

"Definitely!"

We all got around the dish and Sapphire and me got ready.

"Ok…do you want to fight me or do you want your guardian to do it for you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I am able to fight the bitbeast myself. I can turn into a half bread, the cross between the change, and fight."

"Let me ask Chaos if he wants to battle."

"Ok."

Ember's mind

"Chaos, can't fight or do you want to?"

"You fight, Ember. You take a try."

"Thank you!"

Ember's POV

"Chaos said I could fight this time. I guess he wants me to have practice."

"Great. Then let's get started."

I grabbed the blade and then got into position to launch while she did the same.

"Ok, ready. Three…Two…One. LET IT RIP!"

Sapphire and me launched the blades and they connected.

Sparks flew everywhere and then they separated to fall into the middle of the dish.

Sapphire and me then were suddenly lifted into the air and placed on an invisible floor.

I started to freak out but finally calmed down when she told me that it was normal.

Right, now the fight begins, I thought to myself.

"Black Fire Petal Dance!"

I screamed out loud.

I felt my wings fly out all the way and stretch as far as they could, then I felt my body grow red feathers and claws.

What I didn't expect was that I grew a helmet on my head that had a beak on it, and my clothes turned into the same dress like form it was when I first got here.

I saw almost the same exact thing happen to Sapphire next.

She still had her tail and other extra abilities and then her clothes changed into blue instead of black.

She grew a helmet like thing as well, but it had a head of leopard on it with its mouth wide open.

Back to my attack, the sky turned as dark as it could be. Then a circle came around me and black fire came emitting out of it pointing outwards and started to spin. It formed a tornado and petals came spinning around in the gust of wind.

I flew up out of the tornado and went behind it. I saw Sapphire trying to hold her ground against the wind as well as the boys watching us.

"Bring the rain!"

The petals then came swarming around Sapphire and cut her in every spot. She gritted in pain and then jumped into the air to do her own move.

"Lightning Wave!"

A huge wave formed behind her that started to spark like lightning. It then flew towards me and I screamed in pain as the static burned me body.

My attack and hers then both disappeared at the same time and everything went back to normal.

Sapphire and me both stood up, me with the most difficulty.

I cried silently because of the static still flowing through my body every time I moved.

She saw this and smirked slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do it so hard. It's an unperfected move that I'm still working on."

"Ok…I-I will be alright."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kai glare at Sapphire like he would kill her if she tried that again.

I thought that was weird but went back to the battle at hand.

I inspected her wounds and noticed that she was almost just as bad as me.

Her cuts were bleeding like crazy and she was limping on one knee.

"OK, let's finish this up quickly."

She said quietly.

I nodded my head and then did a clap above my head.

A lightning bolt came and hit the ground, causing it to vibrate. She did a front flip and then kicked the ground with her heal, making the ground crack in half.

The guys were all swaying from side to side, trying to keep their balance. I even noticed that the audience grew to be almost everyone was in the room.

Then we screamed the exact same attack at the same time.

"LIGHTNING GROUND FIZZURE!!"

The whole room filled with a blinding yellow light and then a bunch of rocks and cement came flying into the air, almost hitting the both of us and hitting a couple of the audience.

Then, everything went black.

I floated in mid air for a second, not seeing anything at all.

I felt like someone was there…watching me.

I tried to look around but I still couldn't see, until a red flash came and opened up to reveal an outline of a person's body.

"Ember…do you remember me?"

I kept staring at the figure and then a memory hit me like a ton of bricks.

The sky was a nice shade of blue and only one cloud was in the air. The sun shone brightly on my skin and I felt the grass beneath me start to sway when the wind picked up.

I could feel an arm around me and I looked over to see an older boy, with the same exact hair I had and slightly darker eyes.

"Alec, when are mommy and daddy coming home?"

"Soon, they will be here in a couple of hours actually."

I smiled brightly at him and then I leaned my head on his shoulder.

I felt completely safe and out of harms way.

"Big brother, are you going to stay long?"

Alec stayed there for a while and then he closed his eyes and sighed. He slowly sat up and helped me stand up as well.

"Ember…I'm going to be going away for a long time. I can't stay long and I won't be able to write or talk to you. You must try and forget I existed. It is the only way to protect you."

I started to cry when he said he wouldn't be able to see me, talk, or write to me.

I then talked him in a hug that made him wobble a bit then he hugged me back. I cried harder then I had ever in my life.

He was my best friend and the only one who understood me. He was always there for me, even when mom and dad where there. He would cheer me up if anything happened.

"I will see you again, someday. But for now, I am not aloud to be in any contact with the world. I love you, Ember. I will always be with you, you must believe that."

I nodded my head, still crying.

Alec then let me go and kneeled in front of me and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"I will be leaving tomorrow and when I do, I will wipe your memory of me. And when the time comes, someone will remind you and I will see you again."

I looked at him for a bit and then I closed my eyes and opened up to look at the sky.

"Come on…let's get you inside and get something to eat. What do you want?"

"Can we have pancakes?!"

"Pancakes? For Lunch…sure why not?"

"Yeah!"

He picked me up and put on his shoulders and brought me back into the house.

I looked at him closely and then I said quietly, "Alec?"

He nodded.

I finally was able to get my arms and legs to move and I jumped up to hug him as tight as possible.

"I really missed you…can I say that?"

He laughed and nodded his head.

"I missed you to, little sis."

The darkness soon turned into a yellow light then we where back in the stadium.

I saw Kai and the others, Tala holding Sapphire up. Then I saw a person out of the corner of my eye.

I looked and saw Chaos standing there but he was slightly invisible.

I smiled to him and he smiled back.

"Good to see you again, Alec."

"To you as well, my friend. Thank you for taking care of Ember when I could not."

"Wait? You can see him?"

"Only you, me, and the boy with the phoenix bit-beast can see and hear Chaos."

I finally got a closer look at Alec.

He was wearing a pair of black army pants and a black army shirt. Around his neck was a long black cape that covered the bottom part of his face.

I smiled when I saw a black phoenix like necklace around his neck.

"What kind of stone is that phoenix pendent made of?"

"Onyx. Found the stone and made it myself."

"Is that why mom and dad gave me this red phoenix one, so I could have one like yours?"

"Yes and no. Yes, so that you and me could find each other again. And no, because I gave it to them to give to you so you can know something about your past."

"OH," I said.

We then heard clapping form across the room and everyone turned to see Voltaire and Boris.

"Well done, Ember and Sapphire, you have brought me some valuable gifts."

I glared at him and felt Alec put me behind him to protect me and saw and heard Chaos growl and curse at Voltaire.

"You even brought me another Phoenix host…"
