THE PHOENIX IS BORN

chapter 1 : Kierra Bryant

A blinding flash of light comes through my window making me cover my eyes and then it's gone something that looks like a comet takes off into the sky comets can't do that I squint hard until I see a figure lying on the ground a human?

Flying people, wounded strangers in my backyard definitely normal! P.s note the sarcasm. I stand there at my window frozen. The alien in my backyard groans trying to get up but falls grunting.

I think I should help her, but what if she's here to kill us and eat our brains? HELP HER

After an mini argument with myself I decide to go help her. I go to the kitchen and grab a first aid kit and walk to the back door "where are you going" my brother Bryce asks suspiciously when did he get here "I'm... going to the backyard?" I say which comes out more as a question "with a first aid kit?" he asks taking a swig of mango juice right from the carton I scrunch up my nose "you know how much of a klutz I am" I chuckle nervously he shakes his head and walks out if the door but not before giving me another suspicious look.

I stand there until he leaves and quickly open the door and walk to the groaning figure. I cutch near her when her eyes meet mine her eyes light up I mean literally. It's like in the captain marvel movie when she gets ready to attack. "calm down little fella I won't hurt you I'm just here to help" I say trying my best not to sound like I just saw pennywise. Her eyes go back to normal or as normal as they can be I notice they are a bright blue which reminds of Dylan I shake my head to clear my head and lift up a shirt like thing in her actually a spandex who the hell wears a spandex a wave of nausea hits me when I see a huge nasty wound I try my best not to panic as I pour some dis-infectant on a cotton ball "this might hurt a bit" I warn she just nods painfully I dab the cotton ball lightly on the wound and her face looks like she'll be screaming anytime now. So as the good person I am I take off my robe and stuff it on her mouth using the light of my back porch I notice a few glittering pointy things in her skin I can't take them out from here so I'll have to get her to my room I look at my room window to see it sealed shut so I'll have to take her in through the back door "can you walk?" I ask "I can try" she says in a strangled voice wow she must be in real pain

No dumbass she's having delusions of pain I bet by now you've guessed I have a very sarcastic conscience. I help her get up trying my best not to complain. I help her limp to the door I peep inside and see my brother yelling something to his videogames I look at the girl who gives me a look that screams 'I know right' I open the back door and enter knowing something down on the way a frying pan a gosh damn frying pan what was a frying pan doing on the counter anyway. I look to see my brother still playing I let out a sigh of relief and take her to my room I have never been more thankful in my life that my bedroom is downstairs I don't want to imagine the hell this would have been if it was upstairs. I lay her on my bed and get tweezers I start removing the glass shards in her stomach but she holds my arm before I can and shakes her head and then guess what happened next.no clue? Okay she passes out.

Come on Rav you can do this you'll figure this out think think think. My eyes land on a picture of me and Dylan at the water park last year I have the greatest analytic skills right? I should take a dying and freezing alien to the water park... wait a second Dylan.

whip my phone from my desk and quickly dial Dylan's number "come on come on come on" I whisper while pacing in my room he takes it on the third ring "what" he snaps "hey Dylan I'm fine thanks for asking" I say sarcastically "what's wrong Raven" he says irritated "look I need you to come to my house now with whatever chemical that can boost someone's body temperature of someone who fell from the sky and has been hit by an ice sword by some scary looking woman" I practically yell on the last part "okay I'll be right over" he says "oh and come through the window please" I say and hang up I turn to the girl I sit over to my bed and touch the blanket where I think her arm is "wow it's cold ,I mean help is on it's way" I say in that doctor tone. and her skin is getting grey hurry up Dylan and after like two minutes I hear a knock on my window he's here I rush over to the window and open for him his face pales like he's seen a ghost "oh my god, is she okay" he asks worriedly "oh she's so fine" I say sarcastically "you have your toys?" classic line black widow I love her "yep" he says "get a glass" "sure" I go down stairs and grab a glass and bring it to my room I find them talking and seems like Dylan is comforting her "they're here" she seems to be repeating that over and over wow she looks terrified "I got the glass" I say and they look at me surprised were they making out or something no they weren't you saw she's having a mental breakdown and Dylan comes over to me and I hand him the glass he pours in some sort of glowing liquid and gives it to her and she drinks it "now relax and we'll get going" he says seriously "go where Dylan?" I say putting my hands on my hips "I'm taking her with me" he says seriously and I raise an eyebrow "are you kidding me, the girl can't even sit up by herself and she's having a mental crisis" I cross my arms over my chest "so what I gave her the medicine" he says trying to make a point "no" I say firmly "what" he says his temper rising "no Dylan I can't let you take her" I say pointing my arm to her "and why not, she's my fucking si" he says cutting off the sentence and I frown "your what?" I ask "never mind" he brushes off frustrated Darr there is something you're not telling me and I will find out eventually "look Dylan I don't fucking care what she is to you but she's staying here for the night and that's final" I give him a firm look wow you're behaving like mom oh my gosh he gives me an amused one "okay look Dylan she's really weak right now you can take her in the morning I might have even found out how to get rid of her mental crisis or atleast lessen it" I say gently his eyes flash some unknown emotion and it disappears almost suddenly "thanks baby" he says softly and hugs me I return the hug and shit it's getting tighter I pat his back "darrbear you're killing me " stupid nickname I know him he chuckles on my neck "let go now" I tell him "no I don't think so" I says "I'm gonna pinch" I threaten and he lets go and carries a horrified look on his face I smirk in victory " works every time" I say to myself smirking and he glares at me "you know that you have claws that's why you pinch so badly that's why I still have this scar on my leg" he says "well you shouldn't have stolen my chocolate bar" I shrug at him innocently "yeah chocolate makes you hurt your best friend" he does that sad thing with his face and that's just where I go all nice "you know I didn't mean it and you know that I get angry when someone steals my food especially chocolate" I make that apology face "I know" he says in that 5 year old trying to get their grandma to give them money tone suddenly my apologetic side disappears and my annoyed out of my mind ones comes in "full of yourself much" I say "I love you so much" he says playfully I just fake glare "how come the feeling is not mutual" I tell him smugly and he throws his head back and laughs for a good 2 minutes and his expression suddenly goes to serious and sad okay what is this guy hiding and he hugs me "thanks" he says " wait shouldn't I be the one thanking you?" I ask confused "I said it for you" he says playfully and I smack him playfully "asshole" I say and fake glare at him "seriously though thanks" he says with a distant look in his eyes "I really still don't get why I'm being thanked" I ask him confused "you helped her" he says and shrugs "well I wouldn't have known what to do without you" I say rubbing his shoulder "okay bye and give her that medicine as soon as she wakes up in the morning" he says pointing to my night stand "what you mean the glowing green one" I furrow my brows and he nods "goodnight Darr" I yell as he reaches for the tree outside my window "goodnight baby" he yells back "I'm not a baby you..." and he's gone "he can't hear me" I say to myself

I walk to night stand to grab my laptop and keep watching my movie "so boyfriend huh?" asks the mysterious girl " oh you're awake" I smile and go pick up my book from my night stand and sit next to her on my bed "so where are you from andromeda, black eye ,cigar, cartwheel" I stop when I cant remember the names of other galaxies "Pluto?" I ask she chuckles at me "I am from earth 4" she says nicely " earth what now" I ask confused " earth has several dimensions this is the cancer I am from the Capricorn" she explains "huh" I ask again "maybe I will explain it when with the guy you still wont admit is your boyfriend" she says suggestively "he is not my boyfriend" I say for what fells like the gazillionth time for today "if he is not then why does he call you baby" she asks "it's a stupid nickname he made up" I say she hums in response " shut up I'm Raven" I say finally introducing myself "I'm Kierra Bryant" she says I smile at her and notice how familiar she looks "hey have we met before you kinda look familiar" I say examining her face I'm just that creepy "maybe you saw a me version in this dimension" she shrugs "nah that's not it but it'll come to me" I say deciding not to push it further "anyway you should get some rest and hope that nasty bruise of yours heals" I tell me she just nods and rolls over to sleep I take a sleeping pill from my nightstand and swallow it with the water I always keep I a water bottle on my nightstand , I turn off the light and wait for them to actually kick in the thing is I have to take them or I wont sleep at all. I have nightmares all the darn time and its always the same one a car accident and me drowning it always ends there but sometimes they change sometimes I even get glimpses of the future and I also don't remember the other ones I have but they scare me shitless. I drift off to sleep with a sly smile of having helped someone and not just anyone a freaking super.
