Reign of the Reapers

Chapter 6

Hello Readers! Starlei here! Remember when I said that there were some chapters that wouldn't be posted cause they were super dark? I take it back, I'm posting them. When tasked with rewriting the chapter me and Sherbertquake stopped writing in favor of other stories. Well, its the middle of the night and I feel like posting those chapters for fun, so there'll be about 4 chapters going up in the next ten minutes or so. I don't know if Yuno's chapters will end up published, depends on Sherbert. Anyway, enjoy! Sorry if it's dark (I didn't write it)! 

(Btw this starts with Phoenix having been kidnapped in the middle of the night by a guy named Gavin, also she and Nate kiss before she gets kidnapped)

"Momma?" 6-year-old-me beckoned to my mother. Tugging on her sleeve as she cooked dinner.

"Yes, dear?" she stopped her cooking, and bent down to look me in the eye.

"Momma why did you name me Phoenix? Nobody else is named Phoenix. And there are three Maddys in my class." I had asked her this many times before. I was very different from the other kids in my class in many ways, but my name seemed to be the only difference I cared about.

"I named you Phoenix because I didn't want you to have to share your name." I pondered this for a second and my mom went back to her cooking.

I tugged on her sleeve again. "Momma, what is a Phoenix?"

She looked at me again, "Well, it's a very powerful bird that is always in fire. What color is fire?"

"Orange." I answered proudly.

"And what color is your hair?" she asked slyly.

"Orange." I said with a look of realization. "But Momma, doesn't the fire hurt the bird? Fire is dangerous."

"Nope. No matter how much fire is around the phoenix, it is always protected." she answered.

"So if I am Phoenix, does that mean I am protected?" I asked her curiously.

"Always. Now go take a seat at the table, little bird. Dinner's almost ready."

I opened my eyes, only to see darkness. All I could see were shadows of objects in the room I was in. Then I saw something move and I heard whispers. I tried to call out for help, but found that my mouth was covered with some type of cloth. I tried to move only to find that all my limbs were tied by a strong rope to the chair that I was sitting in. And what is that horrible pain in my head?

It started to come back to me. I had been talking to Nate, then I went to bed. I woke up and I was being taken. By who?

Suddenly the room was illuminated by a dim lightbulb swinging from the ceiling. There in front of me I saw... A firetruck? I was in a fire station?

"I think she's waking up!" I heard a voice say.

"Then go get Gavin!"

"And do what?"

"Tell him that she's awake!" the second voice said. One of the voices left, and the other person walked toward me. As they came I could see that it was a girl, with dark brown hair and a bow around her back. She untied the cloth from my mouth, and I immediately started kicking and screaming. She came up next to my face and put her finger to my lips.

"Shhhh. Be quiet or they'll start coming." she said. I stopped making noise. But i jerked my leg up to kick her. She fell back into the floor clutching her stomach, just as another few sets of footsteps came into the room.
