The Tattoo that Saved Me

Chapter One

Phoenix's POV:

"Phoenix, it's time for you to go to the Dark Galaxy." The leader of our galaxy, Mathias says, peeking his head in my door.

"Yes Mathias, I do know that, I'm just trying to look presentable, for when I land I will be meeting with Harrison." I reply, fixing my hair in the mirror. I had to make my tattoo visible, just in case someone from the Dark Galaxy found that I was their soulmate.

Personally, I really didn't want a soulmate. It would be someone that you were held with for the rest of your life. Fortunately, death would most likely separate you, considering there was no heaven, nor hell. Our computers had figured this out long ago, figuring that each life got reincarnated from a higher being.

I finished my hair, showing the phoenix tattoo on the back of my neck, my auburn hair was in a tight bun atop my head, a navy blue dress and dark blue flats. I grabbed my bag as well as my teleporter, I would be using that device to get to the Dark galaxy without any use of transportation vehicles.

"Come Phoenix," Mathias says once again, peeking into my dark room.

"I'm coming Mathias," I reply, opening the door, walking out into the highly lit hallways.

"You will be arriving in the center of the Dark Galaxy with it's inhabitants around you at approximately 10:19 A.M, Dark Galaxy time." Mathias states as we walk to where I would be teleporting from. "The coordinates back to the Lunar Galaxy headquarters are already programmed into your device, correct?" Mathias asks as he finishes his other statement.

I nod and we both file into the room I would be teleporting in and out from.

"If in any case you find your soulmate in the Dark Galaxy, please destroy all information you have on the Lunar Galaxy immediately as well as not telling said person about the Lunar Galaxy." Mathias was a big worrier about our galaxys' safety, considering his mother was murdered in an attack held by one of our now allies, the Branch Galaxy.

"Yes Mathias," I reply quickly, setting my teleporter down, which I must say, was very heavy. I stood in the circle it emitted when it was turned on, and gave Mathias a thumbs up, meaning I was ready to be teleported.

Once I had teleported, I saw many people looking at me, my eyes widened at the amount of people in the dark galaxy. I nodded my head at each one of them, taking in my surroundings.
It was very dark, as the bane states. The tree leaves were black and most clothing was also black. Luckily, I wore a darker colour, so I kind of blend in.
"Phoenix Tillings," I heard someone announce my name.
"Ah, Harrison Kingston, nice to finally meet you." I reply, my smirk stretched across my face.
"Yes, it is nice to meet the Lunar galaxys' pet." Harrison retorts.
I scoff, but I couldn't think of a reply. I turned around at put my backpack against the ground, I also put my teleporter away.
"You have a phoenix tattoo?" Harrison questions.
"Yes," I reply softly, "do you know anyone who does?" My voice didn't leave any hint about my distaste for a soulmate.
Harrison turns around, lifting his foot up and shows his tattoo on his thigh. It was a phoenix.
"You're my soulmate." Harrison mummers, his smile stretching across his face.
I stood there in shock, then quietly whispered, "soulmate? Really, Harrison Kingston is my soulmate.." Scoffing I look at him, "My soulmate is Harrison Kingston."
He looks directly at me, "You aren't happy?" His twinkle in his eyes dims slightly.
"I just didn't expect a soulmate in the Dark Galaxy, nonetheless, I'm actually quite happy for a strange reason." I, for some reason, couldn't stand him being sad.
I once again looked at his tattoo, "Do you have any other mythical creature tattoos in your galaxy?" I questioned.
"No, not that I know of." Harrison replies, ushering me away from the public eye and into a large council house.
I look at him suspiciously before walking behind him, muttering.
