Endearing.

After He Left.

Phoenix.

Life, the only thing that mattered. I wanted to belong, I wanted to feel, now I do. After leaving her, I knew it was time for me to move on. But how?

***

"Hey." I turned around, to find a girl, she seemed to be around 21, her eyes were icey blue, she had long curly brown hair, with olive skin. "Hey" I responded. Ever since me living as a human, I tried to incorporate myself into their world, at the same time I tried to protect myself from those who knew me from the past. "Have not seen you around, where you from?" she asked. "New York." I responded. "Really, what are doing in such a small town? Trying to ran from the copps or something?" She said with a grin. "Or Something." I said. She extened out her hand, "Élysée." I took her hand, "Phoenix." I said as we shook hands, I was debating whether to change my name but something was not letting me lie to her. Maybe the dark side of me is finally out. "Will, I got to get to my shift." She said and turned around to get behind the bar, "See ya." I mumble under my breath, I took out my wallet and left 50 under the the glass of whiskey, and headed to the small town hotel. I decided to reside in a small town in Texas, less humans, less exiles. I walked into the hotel room. "Your back." said the old woman who had been bothering me since I got here. "Yes, I am." I said she shrugged, "You really staying." she said "Yes." I said. She looked into my eyes "What dark past are you trying to run away from?." she said, I let out a sigh, "One from where I almost destroyed the love of my life's world." I said, Im not the type to show emotions or let out my thoughts to strangers, but this old lady had some type of confidentiality in her, making me trust her. "Sounds critical, but fixable, you'll be able to amend your sins, and if love is lost for you, don't believe that because we will always be able to love no matter what." She said, she then went behind the desk and gave me a box. "This was sent to a Phoenix, im believing that is you, Mr.Robert." She said with disappointing eyes. I took the box from her, "Trying to leave the past." I said and made my way to my room. Once in my room, I opened the box, there was a letter and a little bottle filled with blood. I opened the letter and it read
Phoenix,
I do not know if you know, but many exiles now know you are human, and due to that reason you are in trouble. Please don't be mad at me, but I sent a pair of Grigori's to be in the town you are staying. Man it took me so long to track you, but your mistake was using your credit card which is under your name. I have sent you a new credit card and new passports with other documents under a new name. I knew that you wouldn't want to be found but I am worried about you. Now that I have found you I promise not to know your new identity, My mother's contact never gave me the new name and once you have used your new credit card it automatically transfers every thing under your other account, therefore not allowing me to track you down. I tried to stay away, find another way to protect you but I couldn't. Please stay safe, the Grigori pair that I sent, they are new but really good. I sent them because they don't know you, they just know they are supposed to protect the people there. Also, I sent you some of my blood. I know, I know that you are not the same and don't have the same strengths, but I asked for your protection from my angel maker and while he can not give you your power back, he can make sure to give you strength to be able to insert my blood into an exile if you ever face one. This is the last time I ever will contact you. Im sorry. And thank you. Please stay safe.
- Violet.
My heart sanked. This stupid love that I feel for her is so torturing yet pleasing. Why? Because I know that even in the dark, I am able to love. I took her blood and stored it away.

"Fire bird." I heard Élysée say. I turn around to see her walking in with some boxes. I go near her, and grab a box from her arms helping her. "Thanks but I had it." She said "Just helping" I responded with the same attitude she said it in "Sorry, bad morning." She said, as she opens the door to the back of the bar. "What are you doing here, to early to be drinking, I barely have had breakfast." She said, I sit down the box near hers. "Buying the bar." I said not that I wanted to share information of that sort, but something just made me be honest with her. "Really? How did you get to convince Mr. Jack." She asked. I shrugged as if I didn't have to do a lot of convincing but that old man was more stubborn than I. " I have to go, but what time is your break?" I asked , She looked down at her watch, "At 12." She responded. I hesitated a little, but eventaully was able to let the words out, "Wanna go for lunch?" I asked, she smiled and looked at me, "Yeah, we can go out for lunch." She responded. I turned around, my hands were shaking for some reason, I tried to ignore it.

Finally I was able to close the deal with Mr.Jack. it was around 11:30 and I went to change into some more casual clothes. I arrived by 12 pm and she was already out. "Hey." I said when I rolled down the window "Oh hey." she said, she got close to my car, I got out of my car and opened the door for her. I havent really gotten out on a date since Violet, I was not sure what I was doing. "Nervous?" She said with a grin, I smiled, and I noticed my hands were shaking. "Too much coffee?" I responded, She laughed "yes sure." She said.

"So, New Yorker?" She said, we had chosen to get some lunch at this small Latin café. "Yeah." I said, before meeting Violet, I had spent most of my time in New York, making it a permament home for me. "Family?" she asked. "Don't have one. Both my parents are dead." I said, which was true, Lilith in Hell and Adam was somewherre within the angel realm. "Oh, im sorry" She said "Its fine." I said. "You?" I asked, "Im originally from here, my parents are divorced." She said, I nodded. "Your hair." She said out of no where. I took my hand and ran it through my hair. " What about it?" I asked. "Its rare." She said in admiration "I guess so." I said I was about to say something when the glass of the window broke. I got up and grabbed her and put her behind me. "Phoenix, Finally we are able to see each other." Said Fred, an exile of dark, who was one of Liliths pets. I had two options, get out the blade that was covered in Voilet's blood, or run. "Oh what the hell." I said out loud, I pulled Élysée and we started running, we went behind on an alley, I wasnt sure, if he was following us, we got up to a dead end, we were heavily breathing "What the hell was that, was that your 'or something'" she said as she was trying to catch her breathe. "Ehh something like that" I said. "Im his dark past." I heard fred say, I got Elysee. Just as I was about to grab the blade from under my leather jacket, a man and a woman, jumped off from the roof to where we were. The grigori she sent. The woman quickly got into action, fighting fred, she was was strong but not fast enough, but her partner had been able to use her as a distraction and then aimed for the killer shot. "I had him." She said, "You were hesitating." He responded, He turned around and walked toward us, Elysee was shaking. "You guys were walking and witnessed a gang fight, they saw you and disappeared." He said, I knew what he was doing, I reacted to the influence he was having on my mind but it wasn't working, I saw Elysee and her eyes were wide and so focused on his power. The woman grabbed hold of the man's hand "We got to go."She said, and then they disappeared. I look at Elysee, "What was that?" She said, "What did you see?" I asked "Everything. What ever that dude was doing, it did not work." She said. "I think we should talk." I said "Yeah, we need to talk."
