The Pheonix Dimension

Chapter 9: The Diary

Laurance's POV

We docked in Phoenix Drop and everyone kinda runs away. Aphmau goes to talk with Levin and Malachi, Lucinda and Katelyn went to talk, Travis ... well Travis is just wandering around and Aaron disappeared from the moment when we arrived so it was just me and Lexy left.

"Hey... Would you mind if you come somewhere with me?" I hear her asking.

"It depends... are you going to tell me a bit about you on the road?"

"Until you don't try to hold my hand as Travis did, I am fine with it."

"Then shall we go?" I ask with a wired accent.

She laughs and she starts walking with me following her closely.

"So.... where are we going?"

"To my house."

"You told me you are going to tell me about your past, remember?"

"It was only 2 minutes ago Laurance! Of course I remember. But the thing is, there is nothing special about my past. I lived alone all my life. I don't even know if I have parents anymore. Maybe they are dead."

"But how did you lived by yourself? And how did you meet Malachi, because if I remember correctly he is the one who brought you to Phoenix Drop." I insist.

"We had a farm and I learned to live by myself. It wasn't hard at all. As for Malachi, he was on a trip to another village but a huge storm came out of nowhere, a lighting hit a tree down that feel on his feet and because of blood loss he passed out. I found him because the tree happened to be at a few meters distance from my house.  Of course I didn't went out immediately because it wold have been really dumb. And because he didn't screamed I didn't knew that he was outside and I found him only after the lightening stopped, so that would mean an hour after the tree felt. I took care of his wound and walked him back to Phoenix Drop. To thank me, Levin insisted I stay with them. One month later you came back from the Irene dimension."

"Wait..." I say confused "How did you knew we were in the Irene dimension?"

"Every one was talking about you guys, especially Kawai-Chan and Zoey... Oh! And Dante. But he was talking the most about Aphmau. Were they together or something like that?"

"Dante and Aphmau? Pf! He is already married and has two children with two different women! I swear, I think him and Travis are long lost brothers or something like that. No. Dante and Aphmau weren't dating. That job was already taken by me and Garroth. And fighting somehow over her. But him and Aphmau were really close friends. And Aphmau was his first lord so they had a mother-daughter-friend-bond... or something like that."

"Mother-daughter-friend-bond? Are you serious?! That doesn't even exist!" She says starting to laugh. I swear sometimes I think she is a Aaron in girl format but 100 times more complicated, if that is even possible and other times, she is an open book, a cupcake, sugar and honey.

For some minutes, we walk in silence until she stops and I bump into her.

"Sorry!" I say.

"We are here."

 I look at her home. The place where she lived 18 years. It is a small cottage, with holes in the roof, a small garden that looks destroyed, like nothing could grow here, and the feel that there is a lot more behind the little story that she tells to everyone who asks her about her past.

"Follow me."

I see her biting her lip, then she walks to the door and opens it. I enter after her and I look around me. Some old blankets used as bed. And that's it. The only real piece of furniture is a small table in the corner with an improvised chair. The table is full of papers of drawings and notes. I pick one up. Theories. Does magyks really exist? Why do we have visions. It goes on and on. Pages and pages. And they are really good. But one that attracts my attention is one that is 20 pages long. It talks about Lady Irene and her dimention and her life and power and drawings. Lots of drawings. At the end, there is a book but I realise soon enough that it's actually a diary. Her diary. I trow it quickly in my bag. Two seconds after, Lexy is facing me and takes the papers off my hands. She takes all the papers. on the floor, on the table, there are even some under the blankets. She puts them all in her bag.

"Follow me please." she says.

I do as I am told and I follow her behind the house where she starts digging. After a while she looks at me.

"Are you just going to watch me or are you going to help me?"

I kneel next to her and start digging. After a while, we hit something hard. 

"Help me get it up."

I is kinda blocked there, but in the end we manage to get it out. 

"Ok. Now let's go." She takes one handle of the box, I take the other and we start walking home.

"What's inside?" 

"For the moment, it's none of your business."

I swear this girl is incredible. I can't understand her. But I already violated her privacy by taking her diary and looking through her stuff. So I am not going to insist.

--------------------------

Well hello there! I am here with a new chapter that is pretty long, so I am pretty proud of myself. I wanted to tell you that I decided to write Lexy's diary here and Laurance is going to read it. You are going to be surprised by what's written in that book, I guarantee. 

So, beside that, the other book, Side Story n1 is going to come out pretty soon and I think that I am going to let you know the title either tomorrow either Sunday. Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day (or night? where I live, it's night soooooo...) and I will talk to you in the next chapter.
