Wind In Phoenix の小説・ストーリー

Chapter: 6 ***** "They call for me, mother." Phoenix obviously couldn't control the heat anymore. He craved to go down there and be with his mates. They could feel him but didn't know that he yearned for them as much. The fact that they have been going at it wasn't helping the heat. Normally, when he goes into heat, he gets his moon pills and it kills it just immediately but not yesterday and most definitely not today. He's found his mates. His body was burning up. He's craving their touches, kisses, and most definitely their cocks.

What was this? 'Your friend gave you good advice. Tonight's sun was stronger and kissed the sky red. I draw power from the sun, but I draw the most power from it during a red sky sunset. They are hard to predict. This will replenish me until you die again. These are what my flames normally look like. Anytime you die it lowers my flames power. If I am not replenished and you die again, my flames will weaken further. If it continues and you keep dying, and I never replenish, we'll both die when my flames run out. It's important that I replenish anytime you die.' Fane explained and I was glad he did. So Phoenix's can die, but only after a few times, and only if their phoenix's never replenish.

I keep my gaze forward and look through the dark, smoky windshield refusing to look back. The Valley of the Sun, as Phoenix and the surrounding cities are known, is a sprawling metropolis of black asphalt and mostly one- or two-story buildings. The high-rise, big city atmosphere can be found downtown and takes up about forty square blocks total. That's a pin in a map compared to the rest of the city. Gomez doesn't ask directions as he navigates the streets. We circumvent the inner city, and Gomez enters the freeway a few miles from Moon's home. I sit back and pull in a long slow breath of air.

If that's all enough. Almost all the mourners who came cried when the coffin containing Evie's body began to be lowered into the grave, the clear sky turned dark and a cold wind swept over the mourners. The leaves on some of the big trees began to move in the gust of wind, they whispered in a language that could never be understood but could be felt. That the language of the pain of losing someone they know a daughter, sister, friend, and lover who has been swept away by a gust of cold wind.

I didn't realize that I had fallen asleep here and just woke up to the intense ray of light from the sun. It's really hot in the Philippines, it's just a good thing it's windy here on the farm. I stood up and stretched my body before walking away but stopped when I saw Phoenix caressing his pet, Brownie just a few meters away from me. I frowned at that. Phoenix seems to be forcing Brownie to stand up but Brownie couldn’t. Phoenix has this worried expression on his face. "What are you doing Phoenix?" I asked, coming over to look at his pet.

Greg laughs as I fan myself dramatically with my hand. Despite the heat, Phoenix is beautiful. We spend a couple of hours wandering around the city, stopping for iced drinks before exploring local shops and little art markets scattered around downtown. I end up buying a small cactus keychain I absolutely do not need. “It’s cute,” I defend. “It’s a cactus.” “It has a tiny cowboy hat.” Greg looks at it carefully. “Okay, yeah, that’s fair.”

The storm outside was less fierce now, but the embers of Phoenix still glowed in the dark, waiting for wind. ---

He was surprised to see me in Phoenix's office. "Hi.." He said as he walked to me giving me a light hug. "Hi." "Where's Phoenix?" He asked as he sat on the sofa across me. "He went out with his mother and his friend, Lorena." I said and Adrian raised his eyebrows. "That's a definition of a shit show." He chuckled but I didn't respond anything. I checked my watch to see if it's already 10 minutes or not. "You're waiting for him?" He asked and I shook my head.

I smile, throwing my shoulders back. Three of them burst into fits of laughter, whilst Maddox stares at me with a strange look in his eyes, one I didn’t even want to decipher, I had boiled it down to either sex or murder, neither of which I would appreciate. I should have known they would find it hard to believe, their hadn’t been a Phoenix sighting in many years, the last one when I was only a child and I didn’t know to hide what I was. But I didn’t know if they knew about that.
