The blood of the Phoenix.

20

Ella pov.

It's been two months and I haven't heard from Ambrose, nobody has Iv been at the house a few times seeing Phoenix Lucien and Rosie, Kate left with Emily after she attacked me strange child who's clearly got issues. I miss Ambrose everyday i wish I was able to contact him but apparently nobody can, I don't believe that, how can he up and leave me? I loved him he supposedly loved me, I feel like my hearts been ripped out and squashed, phonix words still echo in my mind " he said it's for the best" fucking best for who? Not me. Is he scared of his emotions?

Iv been feeling really sick and bloated recently, also since Ambrose left I can't sleep and I'm not eating much so Natalie who's been staying with me is making me go to the doctors. I roll my eyes as Natalie storms into the kitchen " come on doctors now. Your not eating right or sleeping your feeling ill. This man had made you ill. Now doctor move it" she demands throwing my coat at me, I groan and do as she says. I don't know what the doctor can prescribe for a broken heart.

" Ella I haven't been there for you as a friend in the past few months so now I am. Move it lady" she drags me up off the chair and ushers me out to the car.

Once in the car nat blasts the music " come on Ella I need you back to yourself again" she smiles at me, she's right I need to sort myself out, I sing along and dance with her, it does make me feel better positive. We laugh and joke on the journey to the doctors, for. Moment I forgot my heart was broken and Ambrose had left.

My name was called by the nurse and I told nat to stay in the waiting room, I followed the nurse into the room and sat down, I told her everything about how I felt hopefully she can help " could you be pregnant Miss Bruce?" Her question caught me off guard, I stared at her like no I could not " Ella? I'm going to need you to pee in this pot. The toilets are through there" she passed me the pot which was so small I'll end up peeing all over my hand, nonetheless I take the cup and try and catch as much in this little pot as possible.

I head back and give the pot to the nurse, I won't be pregnant I'm on contraception. The nurse puts a stick in and it felt like time slowed down it was pure silence " Ella. You are pregnant" her words went around and around in my head " miss Bruce. Do you understand?" I just looked At her, I wanted to shout of course i fucking understand Im not stupid, but instead I grabbed my coat and ran out right past Natalie, I needed fresh air to my lungs I swear I was going to pass out.

Nat ran out after me " what's wrong? Is everything ok?"

I said the first thing that popped into my head " she said depression so given me medication. Let's go home please nat"

The car journey was in silent, I'm pregnant to a guy who doesn't even want me. I can't even tell him so Iv decided to keep this news to myself until Iv figured out what I'm doing, how could this even happen? I'm on birth control.

Natalie went back to her moms for a few days, I'd told her I needed space, I need time alone without anyone being near me.

I'd spent the best part of 5 days sitting in bed, today I was feeling a little more positive so I decided I would head out to the market and grab some bits I had no food in.

I headed to the market and grabbed some food, I stopped outside the cemetery I inhaled I needed to see him I have no memory of his funeral perhaps I didn't want to remember sadness.

I wandered into the cemetery to find my fathers grave, the funny thing is I don't even remember where he was buried. I headed over to the new gravestone area and walked slowly until I finally found my fathers plot. I shook my head, he spent all the money on gambling then when there was no way out he took the cowards way and killed him self.
I sat down next to his grave, I felt silly talking out loud to him, but it also brought me comfort.

" so your pregnant? " a voice came.

I looked up and it was Giuseppe " Ambrose changed your details at the doctors when you was staying with us. He put my number. So they rang me. Is it Ambrose's child?

I frowned standing up " are you joking? Is it Ambrose? Of course it is. I have not been near anyone else" I shouted

" she's not an angel. She's something else. But she's definitely pregnant and I sense vampire" a woman appeared from the bushes as she walked closer to me. Did she say vampire?

" ok ok what kind of sick joke is this. Angel? Vampire? Are you crazy?"

Giuseppe laughed " he still didn't tell you? Oh this is Angelica "

" tell me what? Who? Ambrose is gone. I haven't seen him for a few months. He left" what's going on?" I ask looking between him and this weird woman.

" oh Ella. Young naive Ella. Ambrose Is a vampire. We all are. Well everyone except Rosie she's a witch just like my friend here Angelica Kadax wife . You see myself and Kadax. That's Ambrose father. We have been looking for a true Bruce ancestor, they took everything from us. And well you, you are Ella Bruce. Taa daa. Work that out yourself"

I wasn't sure if he was joking or not so I laughed, I found it funny vampires don't exist. He's definitely winding me up, am I on some modern day version of punked? I pretended to look for cameras " so where's the cameras?" I joked.

Giuseppe just stared at me " get in the car Ella" his voice was like a warning, I don't know but I didn't like the situation anymore so I decided to walk away. " where do you think your going?" Giuseppe appeared in front of me he looked directly in my eyes " I said get in the car" Giuseppe said it more firmly this time but I wasn't listening. " she's got opium poppy flower on her somewhere" Giuseppe said as he started checking my body.

I moved away " get off me. God your being so weird"

Giuseppe grabbed me by my shoulders before noticing my earrings that were a gift from Lucien. " take your earrings out" Giuseppe asked . I frowned and rolled my eyes, I took them and passed them to him. He threw them in the bush, what the fuck?

Next all I remember is being inside this SUV " where are we going?"

The woman turned and blew something into my face, that was it I was sleep.
