The Shaniex Shadows

Chapter 8- Powers Unleashed

I woke up in a jail. I was lying on the cold stone floor. There were two walls that sealed me off from seeing anything to my right or left. I got up and walked over to the jail bars and looked out of them. There was two torches on the wall.

I couldn't see anybody. There was a door though. The door was about twenty feet away from my jail bars. It also looked like there were other jails too, besides mine. I was trying to remember what happened after I woke up.

I remembered it now. They had changed me into a shaniex but I had also been changed into one of the Phoniex Five after I accepted its choose. I always forget about other people. I scrambled and turned around and looked to see if Matthew or Posiedon were in here with me. Both weren't here.

   I ran to the bars. "Matthew, Posiedon are you guys in here?" I whispered threw the bars.

I waited a few minutes for a response but there wasn't one. I was saying it over and over again and getting louder each time I did. I was getting frustrated and I didn't know what to do. They had supposedly changed me into a shaniex but I don't feel any different.

I started jumping up and down, kicking the walls, beating on the bars. I was just trying to find someone to talk to so then I could trick them into letting me out. I fell down on my butt in disappointment. I was gonna just scream my voice raw until I heard something behind the door.

  The door in front of my jail bars opened. I thought it might have been a person who would come in but it wasn't. Little green fireflies came in. There were hundreds of them. The little green fireflies came right to my jail and went through the bars.

I backed up until I had reached the end of the wall at the end of the jail. The fireflies just kept coming into my jail and were flooding the space. There was only a couple of feet between me and the fireflies.

"Follow." I heard something say.

I looked straight and I saw nothing there. I think I am just going crazy. "Is anyone there?" I yelled loudly. I heard the same thing that something just said. I was so distracted by whoever was talking that I didn't notice that a firefly had landed on my nose.

  I didn't want to move because I was scared. I just froze and stood there. Soon all the fireflies were on me.

"Follow us!" I heard something say deadly loud in my ears. I didn't know who was saying this. I finally didn't want to die from being eaten by fireflies. I made a plan that on the count of three I would make a run for it and go to the jail bars.

I counted to myself. Three, Two, On.. I looked at the fireflies. They weren't on me anymore but they swarmed altogether. I think they were trying to make a shape. Its impossible but that's what I think was happening. The fireflies first just crammed together and was just a great big ball of electric green light.

It was stunning and beautiful. It was as if I was drawn to the light. I walked closer to the fireflies. I heard a whistle. It was the whistle Claire had used at the Phoniex sacred world. I kept hearing it in my head. I had no idea why but I whistled the same whistle she had used.

When I did this all the fireflies came together and they actually started forming a shape. I was appalled after they made there shape. It was a tiny, electric green phoniex bird. It looked just like Claire's bird Helix but instead the color was electric green.

"Oh my gosh." I said to the bird.

I didn't want to keep calling him bird so I wanted to give him a name. "Your name is gonna be Pyro since when you flap your wings it looks like there is green fire coming from them." I said to Pyro.

Pyro flew around the room after I gave him a name. Making the whole entire room light up green. Pyro flew down and tugged on my shirt. He was tugging me in the direction of the jail bars. I nodded my head and walked over to the bars.
