Phœnix's POV
"2 hours!"
"Yep we couldn't wake you up so Oscar thought of transmitting to you, which actually worked. It's always a test with you"
"Do you want something to eat"
"No thanks the thought of it even makes me nauseous" Elwin flashed orb after orb around her.
"I think I'm going to have a nap" Elwin nodded his head.
"But before you do you need to drink a couple elixirs" he handed her 10 elixirs and she chugged them all down. She snuggled up in the blankets. Oscar was stroking her hair and she eventually fell asleep back to te nightmares to a story she couldn't figure out. They flashed in her mind.

Oscar telling her to join the council

Oscar dying in her arms

The wandering woods, getting gifts from others

Her crying in Oralie's arms

Her singing a song while playing the piano in Australia

She screamed and thrashed.
"Wake up stop thrashing baby girl, please for me for you family" her eyes opened she was once again covered in sweat and tears. She was shaking.
"What were the nightmares about" Elwin asked her softly.
"Oscar dead in my arms, me receiving gifts from others, me crying in Ora's arms and me singing a song on a piano in Australia"
Oscar rapped her in a hug.
"I'm right here baby girl I'm not going anywhere"
"I need a shower" she got up and teleported to her room in the castle and had a quick shower and grabbed a blue tunic, black pants, black shoes and dried her hair and teleported back to the healing centre. Elwin had cleaned her sheets and was writing in her medical journal. That was now 2 inches thick. She sat back down on her cot and stared out the window. Elwin came back out of his office and flashed a couple orbs around her hand that now had a scar on it. It looked like a zigzag line. She looked at the time it was 4pm.

The healing doors opened and her mum, dad and Livy came in.
"Hey you three, come to join the party"
"No we haven't" Livy told her "I knew my favourite 13 soon to be 14 years old would end up in here" that's right my birthday is in 2 weeks.
"So what exactly did you do"
"Can you can tell them seeming you know more than me about what happened when I was unconscious" Cam told the three everything from yesterday morning to now.
"Phoenix your going to have to take sedatives" Elwin told her
"Yeah sure thing, they're pretty much my friends anyways"
"This isn't a joke Phoenix"
"Well to what's already happened to me it probably is just a joke" Fitz hugged Soph and she started quietly crying.
"Phoenix you're getting more and more restless"
"Well maybe because that's the Black Swans fault they created me, they made me so I don't have any sympathy for things like baby scars, maybe I don't care about scars. I am not weak Elwin! You can act like I am but it won't work"
"Calm down baby girl" Oscar grabbed her left hand and rubbed it. She got off her bed and left the healing centre with Oscar and Cam.

They decided to teleport to the Vackers mansion. They nocked on the door and Alden opened it up.
"Hello you three, what happened this time"
"I was in the healing centre because I has cut myself on my hand, pretty deep then mum, dad and Livy entered and Elwin was getting annoyed at me because I'm getting more restless so I retaliated and then I left"
"Of course you did, come in" Alden wasn't even a bit surprised, they walked into the mansion.
"Do you want to see Della" she nodded " she's in the second floor lounge room"
"Thanks"
"No problem" she walked up the stairs with Oscar's hand still in hers and Cam behind them. They walked over to the lounge,

Della was reading a book in the corner. She looked up.
"Hey you three"
"Hey Della" replied Oscar
"Why are you so quiet Phoenix"
" stuff happened with mum, dad and Elwin" she said quietly. Della got up and scooped her into a hug. Oscar told her everything that had happened. In the end she was crying into Della's shoulder.
"It's ok they'll get over it, you know that's exactly how those two acted when they were your age so don't worry. And I'm not turning into Alden with his No reason to worry and Oralie with her Everything's going to be fine"
"Wait since when did I say that all the time" Alden asked as he entered the room.
"You say it every time something goes wrong" Phoenix told him
"Never noticed" he mumbled
"Really"
"Yes really" she started to laugh and Della, Oscar and Cam joined her.
"What's so funny"
"Well you've been saying that line for as long I have known you" Della told him.

"I think I should go back to the healing centre they should have left by now" she hugged Alden and Della goodbye and told them she would call them as soon as she was free. The three of them returned to Foxfire and went down to the healing centre. Livy was sitting on her cot waiting for her, Livy looked up as the healing centre doors opened.
"Hey Phoenix, ready for dinner and sedatives. Elwin had to go pretend that he couldn't figure out a cure for the councillors hair"
"I can't eat, I'll just throw it up"
"You sure it's mellomelt"
"Yeah I'm sure"
"Can I have some" Oscar and Cam asked with puppy eyes 🥺
"Sure thing" Livy got up and handed over a plate of mellomelt to them. She looked back down at Phoenix"

Livy's POV
She looked at Phoenix who was becoming very pale with a hint of green on her face.
"You alright you look pale"
"I'm fine Livy"
"No your not" she grabbed a mirror, she handed it to Phoenix who grabbed and looked at her reflection.
"I'm only a little green but that's from thinking about food"
"Why are you so pale then"
"Not sure maybe the fight with Elwin but your the physician here" she sighed.

"You ready for your sedatives"
"Never more ready to get some sleep" Livy handed her the vials.
"One more thing before you chug them down in two seconds, they might not work on your very powerful mind"
"How did you know my plan and I hope they work otherwise I'll try slumberry tea or somnalene eye drops they look like fireworks in your vision or maybe some reveriebells (that were a flower that Calla had made when Sophie was staying with the Black swan at Alleveturre). Flori has some at Havenfield that she could lend me" she chugged down the elixirs and her head rolled to the side and she went limp.
"Stupid" Oscar muttered under his breath.

Livy went back into Elwin's lab and worked on the sedative that would hopefully work on her with a little bit of help from Magnate Leto she finished it in 2 hours. Elwin was at home not wanting to see Phoenix's face still. Phoenix was still knocked out and Oscar refused to leave her side. Oralie visited for a bit when she had free time. It eventually got to 5 hours and Livy started getting stressed, she was only supposed to be out for 3 to 4 hours no more than that. She didn't tell Oscar she didn't want to worry him.

Another 2 hours passed she had called Elwin and to,d Oscar as well as Oralie, the Ruewans, Kesler and the 5 Vackers. Oscar was telepathically trying to wake her he was sitting on her bed with his fingers on her temples. Her, Elwin and Kesler were making an elixir that would hopefully wake her if it went right. Sophie was sitting next to Phoenix's bed along with Oralie, Grady, Edaline, Della, Alden, Fitz and Biana all watching Oscar try to wake her up.

An hour passed and they had almost finished the elixir Oscar was lying against Phoenix's chest and crying into her chest. Della, Alden, Biana, Grady and Edaline had left. Sophie had fallen asleep in Fitz's arms and Oralie had also left because the council had a meeting apparently.

30 minutes later they had finished the elixir and everyone was watching as Oscar poured it down her throat. Phoenix coughed and Oscar hugged her as her eyes opened. She saw their lips move but didn't hear anything. Phoenix just snuggled into his chest. She was smiling with her eyes closed. Sophie and Fitz eventually left and went home. Then Kesler said his goodbyes and left. Magnate Leto came in to the healing centre.
"So you woke her up"
"Yeah it took 2 and half hours to finish the elixir and I'm banning her from those sedatives, I think just to be safe only let her use reveriebells, it shouldn't effect her this bad again seeming they're flowers and I can have a gnome called Tilly watch her. Phoenix will love her she's exceptionally nice, she also loves to plays pranks and is amazing with plants she is also Flori's niece. So that should be good to pair them up to work together"
"Sounds like a duplicate of Phoenix but just a gnome instead of an elf" Magnate Leto told her.
"I'm going to get some sleep, been one of her personal physicians is tiring"
"That will never change"he turned around but before he left he told her.
"Can you send Phoenix up to my office in morning at around 11am"
"Sure" then he left she went and told Phoenix about meeting Leto in his office and Oscar went and slept in the cot next to Phoenix. Then she light leaped home and went to bed.

#Hope you are enjoying the book and lots more crazy stuff is to come but you can expect that with Phoenix as she is a duplicate of me and what you have already seen she can be very
un-expectable.

#A shoutout to Tilly my old friend that will for ever be my friend.

#Hope you guys are having a great day or night whatever time it is for you.
