The blood of the Phoenix.

Ella

The earth quakes were happening more often now, buildings were falling and the floor was caving in, I'm scared that we will die here this world is ending, but why? I don't know. Keeping Joseph calm was becoming tricky he was starting to ask questions and I was running out of answers.

I paced the room while Joseph slept and Giuseppe went to the hospital for blood bags, he knew it wasn't safe it's not safe for any of us, I'm scared absolutely terrified I don't know if we would come alive again, being in hell we could be wiped from the face of oblivion.

A woman with dark hair appeared literally out of thin air, she looked at me and smiled " you should say your goodbyes with your child" the said with a tone of irony.

" what? Who are you?" Who is this bitch?

She walked round the room grinning without taking her eyes off me " you have no idea about the prophecy do you? Ella the Phoenix" her tone was soft yet laced with sarcasm.

" prophecy? What prophecy? Who are you?" I demanded this time my voice laced with frustration.

She laughed at me," my name is Lilith. And I'll be dammed if you rule Hell with my lover. You shall die here " she was angry at me, I don't know what she's on about I don't want to rule no hell with no devil, thank you very much.

" I think you have the wrong person? Are you looking for Labella? She wants to rule hell not me"

" no Ella. You will be the one ruling Hell. Over my dead body will I allow that. Lucifer is mine. This prophecy ends now with you dead"

" I don't think so" Giuseppe ran a plank of wood right into her stomach sticking her into the wall while black blood poured from her mouth, but she just looked and grinned " I can't die. Don't be stupid" she was stuck there though unable to move.

The house begin to shake again and I held onto the wall, while psycho Lilith laughed, she laughed cause she did this, she made my hell world crumble I know she did, this fake prophecy is crazy.

" Ella Ella!! Quick I can't hold on much longer get joseph" I turn around at the voice and realise is Katrina and Rosie " quick Ella Rosie can't keep the vale down for long" she screamed over the sound of wind and the sound of the house shaking, I turned around and Giuseppe had a sleeping Joseph in his arms, I grabbed hold of him and Giuseppe closing my eyes Katrina pulled us out, once I opened them we was inside Ambrose house.

" what did you bring him back for? Can I kill him now" I heard Phoenix sarcastic tone, I immediately threw my arms around him " omg i haven't seen you in forever P" I was so happy to he able to see him " please leave Giuseppe I know he's made mistakes but he's working on them. Please for me. Where is everyone?" Just as I turned around ambrose had scooped Joseph up and was hugging him"

Lucien had rushed in and knocked me over with excitement, I was laughing as he kissed me all over " Iv missed you too Lucien" he helped me up and I locked eyes with Ambrose who rushed over and picked me up spinning me around before putting me down he whispered sorry as as he put me down then kissed me on the forehead, I looked and saw Giuseppe sneak out the room, I guess he didn't know how to express his apologies, I know he's done wrong but he wants to amend them now.

" before we get back to god knows what with the actual devil can I have a few days as normal as possible?" I know my life is far from normal but I feel like Iv been trapped in hell for a long time and need some down time.

Lucien looked at me and laughed " your life is far from normal now Ella. But yes we have time to be a normal functioning family for a day or two, for Joseph Atleast"

I smiled and chased Joseph out into the garden, he was laughing and running away from me as fast as his little legs could carry him, his speed was ridiculously fast but not as fast as me, I grabbed him and we both landed on the floor laughing, this was the moment I'd missed, his laughter was like music in my ears, this moment I will cherish for tomorrow is never promised but also his aging will now restart.

We lay on the grass outside silent listening to the birds and the very distant sound of cars, " mummy? When will I want to eat blood?" Joseph looked at me curiosity evident " I don't want to eat anyone's bloody mummy" his innocent tone made his words cut me like a knife, the truth was I don't know, I don't know when his vampire side will show or if it ever will.

I looked at him and smiled " I don't know sweetheart but you don't have to do anything you don't want to . We will cross that bridge when that side starts to show if it ever does" I tried to reassure him I don't want Joseph to worry.

Joseph is already a vampire, although he currently shows no signs of wanting to feed, we don't know if this is something that will change with age, that worry's me, but for now I want to enjoy my son at his younger age before he ages even quicker.
