The Phoenix

Chapter 1

I was running fast. Sprinting away for my life. I had finally done it, I had finally stolen the chip!

As I shot around the corner I came face to face with a set of stairs. I went to turn around, but then I heard them. The Faceless. They were catching up, fast! Groaning, I hauled myself up the stairs as fast as I could. Up and up to the very topic the building. The 12 storey building. As I shot onto the roof my heart pounding, I came face to face with "Mikey" the man in charge....

At 6"2 he only had to tilt his head down to look at my slender 5"10 frame. Mikey had dark green eyes that sparkled malevolently when he was pissed, his dark brown hair had been spiked up today and his frame was that of an athlete, and any one who knew the organisation and the leader, knew it was because of his street fighting, which also meant he was quick on his feet and very very strong. He has Caucasian skin which made him very popular with the females as he was unfortunately really hot.

"Well well what do we have here?" He crooned taking a threatening step forward, challenging me with his eyes. Swallowing my fear I surreptitiously pulled my daggers out of their sheaths and held them behind my back with one hand whilst stepping forward, "I think you know Mikey," his eyes flashed at my casual use of his name, "you've suspected for a while haven't you? Yet you still let me stay. Why? You're certainly not the benevolent kind"

Grinning  like a madman he walked slowly and deliberately towards me. Stepping further out of the corner I met his unspoken challenge. As he walked closer and closer towards me I could feel myself tensing up, smirking at my obvious discomfort he softly replied, "I honestly didn't expect you to pull it off. Especially with my added....extras." As he said this he looked me up and down with curiosity and amusement evident in his eyes.

Narrowing my eyes I gritted out "Yes, they were a bit of a pain in the ass but they didn't bother me much, fortunately." Amused at the fact I was pissed at him he carried on smoothly, "My, you're definitely not the pathetic, shy coward we thought you were, are you?" I simply smirked at him. Glaring at me he paused his pacing, "Who the hell are you?" He finally snapped breaking through his cool mask. 

"I am the Phoenix," I finally answered him grinning, despite the fact my heart was pounding faster and faster, "and I'm definitely not a 'shy girl' quite the opposite in fact. As I'm sure you know." I finished drawling out the end of my sentence. 

Gaping at me, Mikey finally stuttered out "Th-th-the Phoenix!?" Gazing at his look of terror, I simply replied "Yep" popping the p.

A cold, cruel smile started to develop on his face, the look of terror long gone. "Well then 'Phoenix'," spitting out my name like a curse, "prepare to die. You aren't leaving here alive!" With that he pulls out his deadly sword pointed it at me and gave me a murderous grin. Swallowing my fear again, I looked up at him smirked and said "bring it on"
