Phoenix

Waking up, wiping my face...

"What the hell!!!!" looking at my hands I see they're covered in blood. I get up and I'm surrounded in blood. Two bodies are face down lying there motionless.

I hear footsteps coming from down the hall...

Behind me is the the room I was in. Time seems to slow, my mind going at 110 miles an hour, thinking where should I go, what should I do, who's coming, what have I done!!!

I decided to sprint back into the room and into the cupboard...

The foot steps are getting louder and louder, louder and louder, louder and stop...

My heart is almost coming out my chest. I hear the what ever it is outside the door of the cupboard, I ready my fist, the blood on my hand is now dry. It has compacted around my palm...

Then nothing... I hear nothing... no movement, no breathing, only the heartbeat in my chest...

Then the door opens, the person standing there is slim, muscly and hot but beautiful at the same time. They have flame red hair. Scruffy but neat.

They look at me and smirk. "So you're the person who sent Fynn flying. Takes some strength to do that." They say as they hold out their hand. I take their hand and get up out the cupboard.

"Who are you? What am I doing here?" I can hear the panic in my own voice. I can feel myself shaking, feel my head pounding, my heart beating...

My mind racing, coming up with all the things that could happen... mostly bad outcomes, in fact all bad outcomes...

They stand still and tilt their head. "You're cute, Hey I'm Phoenix. Who are you?" They say still holding on to me.

"I-I'm S..." I went quiet, I remembered what it felt like in class... it's happened before... but now, I knows that I despises that name. "I don't know... not anymore at least..."

I feel the dizziness hit me again. But Phoenix has a look in their eye as soon as I feel it. They pick me up, over the shoulder and sprint down the corridor, yelling as they go. All I hear is "She's the one!!" And it goes blank...
