Phoenix, Dragon and the Wolves (ON HOLD)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1- It all starts here

I flicked back my silvery brown hair and bit the end of my pen in concentration. This stupid mock exam was doing my head in! The girl next to me sneezed, I turned to her grinning slightly, my best friend gave me a quick thumbs up, taking a careful glance at the teacher. I winked at her then closed my eyes. The familliar tingling sensation coursed through my veins, I welcomed it gracefully and extended my slim, petite fingers.

Suddenly the fire alarm pierced the air with it's high-pitched cry, Miss Bartlet jumped five feet into the air (which is particularly hard for a woman of her size).

"Well then, I guess you all have to go outside, leave your papers and bags and leave in an orderly fashion- GIRLS NO RUNNING!" She barked at a couple of girls who had flipped out and bolted for the fire exits.

"Nice work, Phoenix," My bestfriend whispered next to me with a sly smile.

"Thanks, Dragon,"

We grinned at each other triumphantly. No we're not witches, we're The Sisters Of Artemis. The sisters were created about a trillion years ago, it was to protect the sacred balance of light and darkness; good and evil. The sisters are immortal beings with supernatural powers but they aren't born, they are created. We hide in the humans world, we come out of hiding only when there is a need for us.

I was found in Iraq with my younger sister, prisoners of war, I had been beaten up, broken and raped. I'd been starting to think I'd never get out, at least they hadn't  done anything to my sister, they had promised to keep her safe as long as I did what they asked. The memory still pricks my soul. Anyway, it was about a month in when they came flying in...literally flying into the camp and taking out the soldiers with a wave of their hands. My sister thought they were warrior princesses. But I knew. We had been learning about the greek gods and goddesses and something had made me dig deeper. I thought it was just a myth but when I said who they were, the leader who I now know as Stardust, raised her eyebrow at me.

"What is your name, young one?" She had asked.

I had never liked my young apperance so I crossed my arms and cocked a hip. "Who are you calling young one? Your not that much older than me!"

She laughed, a voice like windchimes and said "You have a brave soul, even in the face of danger, you will be of use,"

Then I became a sister, my own flesh and blood sister returned to my parents claiming I was killed in the camp. She still comes to visit me from time to time, she's now my age or how old I was when I converted. Such a cutie. All the guys are bonkers for her (no change there) and she tells me all about her and our parents lives. Sometimes I miss it... but then I look at dragon and all my doubt disappears.

She's older than me, her frozen age (the age she'll stay forever) is 20, mine is 17. Picked up during the gulf war, in 1992, she was fighting an enemy soldier, she was merciful and let him live. Because of her compassion, she was accepted into the sisterhood. She's more fiery than before and the most dangerous of our sisterhood legion. There are 5 legions, to symbolize Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit, me and Dragon belong to Fire, the fiercest and most dangerous of all the legions, we are called for war. Spirit is one of peace, they are our leaders, Water are the trackers, orienteering, Air controls storms and planes in distress, they have a palace in the sky, never been there but Drag has, says it's like floating. The last is Earth, they control human activity, keep us a secret from anyone outside the sisterhood, they always have to clean up after the Fire legions messes. Theres alot.

"Oops! Incoming!" Drag yelped, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Well girls, can you ever keep outta trouble?" A southern voice said from behind me. As I turned a woman with long brown hair, the colour of mud and eyes the colour of grass. Whoops!

"Demetria, I...uhh...this...its-"

"Please sweetiepie, trippin' a school fire alarm, not a biggie! Ya'll not in trouble, jus' tell me who's memory to erase 'n' I'll be outta your hair," She grinned, so did we. Demetria was the most laid back of the earthies (our name for the earth legion) and we were glad that she was the our cleaner. When we say cleaner we mean the person who cleans up our mess, she's the best in the business. Unlike Terra, she's a nightmare!

I pointed to the whole school in answer.

She raised an eyebrow questionly.

"We made a big impression, so sue us!" Drag protested

Demi rolled her eyes before raising a finger delicately, a mist formed from her fingertip and spread eerily over the student body and all of the teachers.

I closed my eyes and felt Drag do the same, we've done this at least twelve times, the mist erases humans memories of any sister with her eyes closed and the sister or in this case sisters are transported at least 400 miles away.

Wondering where we will end up, I was shaken immensely.

"Phe! Guess where we are?" I carefully opened my eyes and took a look at my surroundings. But not before I shedded my winter coat and long sleeved shirt and all my extra layers till I was in combat boots, baggy camo trousers, a white vest top and my dog tags that are a memory of Iraq, I took them from the guy who raped me and beat me the most. I took them after I had shot him with his own gun, Funnily enough the sisters hadn't cared too much, in fact they were impressed. But after I killed him I vowed never to stoop that low again. The dog tag necklace reminds me of that.

We were in the sandy desert, not much of a town nearby, it'd be a long walk to civilisation. I pulled my hair into a ponytail, Drag did the same with her strawberry blonde hair as I put on my aviator sunglasses.

Finally I took a look at the road sign and almost laughed at the irony of it.

Phoenix 20 miles
