The blood of the Phoenix.

44

Ella-

Every day is the same but everyday I spend with Joseph is a blessing, I feel like we have been in this hell for years heck I reckon down here is longer than earth days. Giuseppe tries everyday to make amends he's trying he really is but I can't forgive him, he took Ambrose away from me if I didn't have Phoenix in my blood I'd be dead, Joseph would be dead.

Joseph is playing football on the nice grass area outside, it's crazy to think this is hell and how labella can create any hell room she wants, I mean she could go made me a worse place to stay but she made this eery village it's beautiful but strange with no people here.

The floor creaking made me jump, I followed the noise until I see a back " hello?" I asked, the body turned around " omg Ambrose? What are you doing here?"

He ran to my side " I don't have long come sit down"

I followed him and sat down and motioned for him to continue.

" this is not as it seems. Labella set this trap. If Lucifer is killed then hell is destroyed and everyone in hell is free to roam earth which is what Labella wants to live freely on earth with sam Lucifers brother. The only way for Lucifer to return to hell is if a Phoenix flies him to hell. The only reason she made it out like a Phoenix must die in order for him to return to hell was for him to kill all the Phoenix therefore being unable to return to hell cause they would all be dead. If we kill Lucifer labella gets her wish. Hell would literally become hell on earth. That's why she allowed our son here because it's one less Phoenix to get him back to hell"

I couldn't take this information in, labella wasn't helping me, she was just helping herself. " how do we get out of here Ambrose?" I was seeing.

Ambrose looked around the room as if looking for something " as a Phoenix you can come And go in heaven and hell. The only thing that would keep you trapped is A metronome that keeps ticking. Find that and..." Ambrose had vanished, god dammit he didn't finish.

I threw my head into my hands, this was a mess how do I get out of hell? How do I safely get my son out of here? How I could I be so stupid to allow Lucien to leave him here, he's just another pawn in labellas game.

I stood up wiping my frustration tears away, I can't let Joseph see me upset he will already sense that's somethings off, as I turn I see him stood there " mummy what's wrong?" He looked at me curiously, I smiled " nothing sweetheart. Shall we bake those cookies now?" I tried to shugg it off but he came to my side and hugged me " mummy you know I can sense when Somebody is lying. Are you lying to me, To protect me?" he looked up at me through his gorgeous innocent eyes, I smiled and kissed his forehead " something like that darling. Please don't you worry. Let's bake" I hushed him into the kitchen I didn't want him to worry, after all he's just a child.

We baked those cookies, we laughed we had a flour fight and we had lots of cuddles, these were the moments I loved, I knew once we escaped here his growth would speed up again and his childhood would be over, and that made me sad at least while I'm here we are safe and he doesn't age my time with Joseph is undeniably precious.

I noticed it was getting dark outside time to get Joseph ready for bed, I know living in a hell world we could have any time as bedtime but I like to stick to the normal bedtimes as I would on earth, normality is key here, Joseph had just brushed his teeth when the house shook I grabbed Joseph and dived under the bed, I could hear Giuseppe shouting, I closed my eyes and hushed Joseph " everything will be ok" I reassured him, but the truth is I'm not sure anymore, there isn't suppose to he earthquakes where we are.

Once the shaking had stopped I jumped up helping Joseph up, I shouted Giuseppe who told me to put Joseph to bed, I read to him And sang him to sleep so he wouldn't think everything was ok, I crept out the room to Giuseppe.

" what the fuck was that?" I asked Giuseppe who was pacing the livingroom " look outside many buildings have collapsed the floor is broken and something is not right" Giuseppe was panicked and not much scares him.

" look I need to tell you something. Sit down" i figured now would be the perfect time to update him on what Ambrose informed me.
