Chapter 18: Phoenix
Mara was destroyed but Selene was in critical condition. Everyone had warned her that the spell was too dangerous, but she was determined to win the war, even if it meant risking her life to save ours. Amber said that out of over two thousand soldiers, only three hundred were injured or killed. I was upset that we lost any, but I was happy that we were able to save so many more. After the spell was cast, Selene plummeted to the ground; I managed to catch her before she hit, but she was unconscious and barely breathing. Even after being beaten nearly to death, she still managed to cast the spell that ended the battle. I sat beside her bed and held her hand, praying that she would wake up. My uncle and cousin brought the children now that it was safe for them; they’d sit with me and watch their mother. All three of the girls would start balling their eyes out when Selene wouldn’t answer them but she couldn’t help it. Her heartbeat was slow and there was

Ten years. That’s how long it took to finish everything because of the battle Mara caused. My children have taken up responsibilities all across our kingdom and are more than excited to bring our people closer together; especially Apollo and Artemis. That’s all they ever want to do and they have declared that instead of marrying and only one of them assuming the throne after Phoenix and I retire, that they would rule as they do everything else, together. I could not be more proud of all of them, believe me, I’ve tried. I raised up and saw that Phoenix was still fast asleep; instead of doing the nice thing and letting him rest, I did the evil thing and started kissing his neck. His hands met my waist and he groaned. I couldn’t help myself, I started nibbling the skin which made his grip tighten; soon enough I felt him poking my inner thigh and I smirked. After getting his hands off my hips, I slid do

Claire comes into my room and opens my curtains, I groan and hide under my blankets, “Good morning, Princess.” She told me; I raised up and smiled at her, “Morning.” She smiled and started picking up my room, “You don’t have to clean my room, I’m almost twenty, I can handle it.” Claire gave me a small look, “It’s my job.” She told me simply, “Your parents are downstairs in the dining hall; I believe they wanted to discuss the ball for your birthday on Saturday.” I nodded and got up and began getting dressed, “Oh, and you have a dress fitting at midnight.” I mentally screamed, “I have plenty of dresses, I can just wear something I already have.” I told her but she went to make my bed and completely ignored me as she worked. I smiled and slipped on a simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt. After brushing my

I walked out to the garden to see the tall red head, smiling; I called out to him, “Phoenix Mackenzie!” He turned to face me with the biggest smile on his face as he pulled me into a hug, “I can’t believe you’re home! How was the trip to Scotland?” I asked as we sat on the bench looking over the garden, his face beamed with joy, “It was incredible! Father took me to Inverness which was absolutely gorgeous; we went to other places as well, even managed to find my two hundred year old grandmothers’ grave. It was unmarked so it was pretty difficult, but we found it nonetheless.” He told me, I smiled and grabbed his hands. We were close when we were younger, but then his father took him away to practice his magic in their homeland, Scotland. Phoenix and I were devastated, but after he left, Mom and Dad managed to talk my Aunts into moving here with Amber. That was ten years ago.

I followed Selenes’ father up to the office, he opened the door, “Close the door and have a seat.” He told me; I did as he asked. I was normally not scared of vampires, but this was the king of the vampires, so I was nervous. I waited for him to say something, out of respect for his rank. He was looking over some papers before turning his attention back to me, folding his hands on top of his desk as he stared me down; I could feel a small bead of sweat roll down my face, “Phoenix,” He started, I perked up immediately, “the arrangement your father and I have concerns you and my daughter.” I tensed, “What do you mean, your majesty?” I asked, “Nick, please.” I nodded, “And what I mean is, your father and I think it might be best to join us, like the vampires and werewolves.” My heart was beating fast as the thought of what he’d say next ran through my brai
The Hybrid Chapter 4: Phoenix
I stepped into my bedroom and went straight for the shower. After I dropped Selene off at her room I came straight home to rest. That beautiful hybrid has my nerves and thoughts all over the place and it drives me crazy, the good kind mostly but every now and again the bad kind. I stood in the shower letting the water run down my body, washing away almost every stressful thing from my mind. I washed up and got out. Once I had some pants on, I started looking for the nicest suit I owned for the ball tomorrow night; I’m Selene’s fiance and that means that I need to make a good impression, which I planned to do. I’m not about to embarrass her. Picking a traditional black suit, I placed it on the hook on the outside of my closet and grabbed a pair of dress shoes, placed them in the chair right next to the closet, then climbed into bed and dozed off thinking about Selene. I woke up around six when my father kn

I sat on the ground while Phoenix paced around, I was in shock of everything that just happened. My parents...they’re dead. I held myself, but I felt something running on my hands, I looked down, blood. My mothers’ blood. “Hey,” Phoenix said softly, taking my hands in his, “it’s okay. I swear to you, that woman will pay for what she’s done.” I nodded my head, “Now then, if you’re ready, I’m going to warp us to the house with the others, okay?” I nodded; Phoenix pulled me up and we warped to the meeting place. We walked up the stairs, but Phoenix stopped, “I’m going to place a protection charm around the house, I’ll be a few minutes. Go on in and I’ll be right there.” I nodded and went inside the house. I looked around the old house, the floors creaking with every step. “Amber?” I whispered, “Chris?”

I opened the door to see Selene sleeping; she’s been through so much in one day, we all have. There was a small tap on my shoulder, turning my head, I saw Amber standing behind me; closing the door quietly, I turned to talk to her, “We’re ready to go.” She said then looked at the door, “How is she?” I looked at the door then turned back to Amber, “She’s strong, but she’s gone through so much so fast. I don’t remember her being like this when we were children; back then, she was so skittish, it was so cute.” Amber smiled lightly, “Phoenix, she’s grown up, she’s not that same little girl anymore.” I nodded, I knew she was right, but that’s what worried me. Selene is strong, I knew that, but she’s the same strong my mother was and even that much strength can’t help you during the trying times; for my mother, it was when she delivered my sister, they

I was sitting in Ambers’ room at her vanity; she heard that Phoenix and I were getting married tonight and insisted that we were going to be married the right way, and Katherine agreed. Katherine and her daughters came in wearing long dresses and had bouquets in hand, “Here we are,” Katherine said as she laid a dress on the bed, “A gentleman came here months ago, asking me to mend this for his daughters’ wedding, needless to say, the union was cancelled and the dress was never retrieved.” She told me; I went over to it and looked it over. It was a simple dress, similar to my dress at the ball but was even more elegant and beautiful, “It’s perfect.” I said, “We have a dress for you too, Amber.” Fiona said as she handed it to her, “Thank you, it’s lovely.” Amber told them, “I need to get her ready and t
