I wake up in a haze, everything from the night before only coming up in small groups of memory. Once I realize I passed out before I got home I quickly shoot open my eyes and sit up in a panic. It takes awhile for my eyes to adjust to the lighting but when it does the only thing I can see is Phoenix, asleep next to me.
What happened after the swings? How did I get here? What time is it and what about Kid? A series of questions storm my mind sending my body in a panic like state. I start breathing quick and the mostions send ripples of movement into the bed waking Phoenix up. She groans and sits up playing with my long blonde hair, "Calm down princess, nothing happened. You just passed out and I couldn't leave you there." Her voice is calm and reassuring and somehow makes my breathing slow down.
I turn to look at her, "Why won't you just tell me what's going on?" As I look at her every feeling I've had of her seems to intensify and hide my feelings of Kid. I shake my head trying to ignore my new feelings, "Stop it! I don't know what you're doing but this isn't me! These aren't my feelings and you know it."
Phoenix laughs and kisses slowly at my neck and continues her control on me, "Everything you're feeling right now is just as you would if I hadn't kissed you before, just with more time. I'm simply speeding up the process." In some way what she says makes sense in my head, on the inside I have been curious of her ever since the ball maybe I already did like her. But it's not her choice what I do about my feelings. I pull away from her again and this time get off the bed, "I need to go. Can you please take me back to the mansion? I don't belong here."
She sighs and gets up reluctantly, "I'll take you anywhere you want, but don't be surprised when you end up back here with me." Her smile seems to grow and it is now when I realize her truly feminine figure, before in the suit she seemed very masculine and at the part I was too busy to notice any figure of her at all. But in her short pink night gown she's all woman, beautiful and angelic. She would almost be innocent and perfect if she hadn't been trying so hard to get revenge on her brother and using me to get it.
I follow her out of the building and into a limo, trying my hardest to hide my face. The whole ride back to the mansion is filled with awkward silence, my mind wondering about her power over me and how a part of me wants to give in but I know it's wrong so I try my hardest to repress it. There's a smirk across her face as if she can read my thoughts and suddenly she speaks but I can't make out what she actually said. That is until I look out the window and realize that we're here and it's time for me to go. Phoenix slowly leans in and kisses my cheek before whispering in my ear, "I'll see you soon." Then I slide out of the limo and hurry my way into the mansion.
Inside I am completely alone, Kid is still at his fathers for his meeting. I let out a sigh of relief and rush upstairs to get changed. As I change I notice something odd in the mirror, a dark mark on the back of my neck almost like a tattoo. The mark sends shivers down my body, a dark phoenix invades the area hidden by my hair almost like a tattoo. I have been marked and who knows what Kid will do when he realizes I have been captivated by the one person who's only goal is to take everything from him.
