❄️ CHAPTER 10 ❄️ " A red Phoenix " The bird replied, landing on the floor. Phoenix immediately forgot she had been crying. She couldn't stop staring at the bird before her, her lips parted in awe. " You...are...beautiful " She didn't even realize when that left her lips. " Really Phoenix, that is what's going on in your mind now? " The bird scoffed, snapping her out of her awe. " Oh sorry...I couldn't help it, sorry " She apologized. " What brings you to me, great one? " She asked, bowing a bit in a way of respect. " I heard your cry for help and the doubts in your heart " The bird replied, stepping closer to her. The bird took her hands and before Phoenix could fathom what was going on, the bird turned into a very beautiful woman. The woman looked exactly like Phoenix except for the fact she was a bit older with her long golden-colored hair which was reaching down to her back knee. Phoenix's eyes widened even more as her jaw dropped open. " You are a human?! " She exclaimed

❄️ CHAPTER 12 ❄️ Phoenix let out a groan in pain. She was still lying on the floor beside the window. She slowly opened her eyes, as weak as ever. She looked around and her eyes widened a bit at how scattered the room she was in was. " Axion must have destroyed everything " She thought as she tried getting up. She felt a strong pain run through her back, making her groan even in more pain. Just as she was still struggling to get up, she heard the sound of something shattering to pieces, followed by a loud snarl. " Axion " She exclaimed in worry. She placed her palms on the floor, trying to support herself, but her arms were too weak to even stand, making her slump back to the floor. " Mom, I need your help please " She pleaded, closing her eyes. The necklace on her neck glowed as she closed her eyes and she felt something run down her whole body. It was as if, all of a sudden, she wasn't feeling weak anymore. She could feel her strength coming back and the pain she was feeling va

❄️ CHAPTER 14 ❄️ Axion was still in bed, still struggling with how to get up. Whenever he was almost starting to get up, he would feel a sharp pain run through his whole body, forcing him to lay back down. " Damn it! I can't even sit up " He cursed under his breath. Just then, the door of his room opened, revealing Phoenix with a tray in her hand. Seeing her, Axion let out an angry slight groan. " What the fuck are you doing here again?! " He demanded. " I came to bring you food. You haven't eaten anything since you woke up. I also brought the tea aunt Glinda said I should give you so you'll get better quickly " Phoenix explained, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. " I never told you I needed you to bring me food... " But I know you need it. You don't have to tell me " Phoenix cut him off. " I'm not hungry. Take that tray and get out of here " Axion snapped with a stern look. " Are you seriously going to let yourself starve just because I'm the one who brought the fo

❄️ CHAPTER 16 ❄️ Axion laid Phoenix gently on the bed and just then she snapped her eyes open. " Axion " She jerked up and hugged him tightly, her body trembling in fear. " She's going to hurt me again, please don't leave. " Her lips trembled and her tears rolled down. Axion could feel she was really scared and traumatized. " Sush. She's not going hurt you, I won't let her do that " He assured her for the first time since he met her , stroking her back gently. Phoenix tightened the hug, nodding negatively, still crying. " I'm scared, Axion " She mumbled. " Do you trust me? " Axion asked and she nodded slowly. " I won't let her touch you again, I promise " He reassured. Phoenix's body slowly started losing up and she fell back asleep. Axion laid her back gently, making sure not to wake her up. He took his phone and dialed a number. " Aunt Glinda, can you come over now? " He asked. " Ok " He added and ended the call. A few minutes later, the door opened, revealing Glinda. "

❄️ CHAPTER 18 ❄️ Axion blinked repeatedly, his brain spinning in confusion as Phoenix kissed him. She finally pulled out, looking down shyly. It was then that Axion's brain started working once again. He pushed her off him and sprang up from the bed. " You pervert! " He wanted to yell in disgust but swallowed back the words. Staring at Phoenix, who pouted cutely, he lost count of what to say. Tightening his fist in anger, he just left without saying anything. Phoenix went after him immediately. " Axion " She called, hugging him from the back. " You are leaving me again," She mumbled, and that made him stop on his track. Closing his eyes, he exhaled deeply before turning to face her. " I wasn't leaving, I just wanted to go grab some water," He said with gritted teeth, forcing a smile on his lips. Phoenix smiled back at him. " Ok. Let's go brush and bath together instead " She suggested, and Axion shot her a glare almost immediately. " You..." He swallowed back the remaining wor
