Phoenix. ((Fan fiction of Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children.))

Chapter 3

      P.O.V. Phoenix

I punched at the girl who had me pinned to the ground. I was tired from my dramatic exit earlier. I tired hitting her with more lava but she seemed to be growing stronger instead of being, well, dead.

"Emma! How are you-" A boy started yelling before a wave of fire almost burned him. I realised that she was a hot head like me. She hit my jaw hard, and that was the last thing I thought before I blacked out.

P.O.V. Emma

I knocked the girl out. The heat that had been making me feel more powerful was now turing rapiadly into rock I jumped up and tried to brush as much of it off as I could. I didn't know that there was another person resistant to heat. But, as far as first impressoins, she wasa freaking brat. Who jumps into lava?!

"Emma.. Are you okay?" I looked at Jacob. I had to stifle a laugh. One of his eyebrows is gone, and his shirt is singe.

"Yeah, are you?" He patted his shirt and checked his face. I started laughing at his expersion go from calm to scared over one eyebrow.

"Hey, it's not funny!" He whinned. The girl moaned and put a hand to her forehead. She heals fast.... I thought. Her moans contiuely loudly, until she started screaming and scratching her face. A few streaks of blood appeared on her forehead. I rushed to her, as I grabbed her hands she woke up. In a instant she stopped.

"Who are you?" she asked me before trying to stand up.

"I am Emma. And you are?" I asked not knowing if she was able to stand or if she would crumple like a fawn.

"Pheonix. Your brother or whoever killed those people." She gestured towards the bodies as she gave up trying to stand and just sat down. I joined her as she realised that her head was bleeding.

"Yeah, it's good that he did. They wanted to hurt you." She glanced at me quizically while putting pressure to her head.

"And what to they want with little old me?" Pheonix asked sarcastically. I smiled nicely at her, pretending as if it wasn't as horrifying as it truly was.

"Why, they want your ability. But, most of all, they want your soul." Pheonix shudered at the thought, her second reaction was worse though. She leaned to the side and barfed, the only thing to come up was some half digested food and rocks.

"Did she just barf what I think she did?" Jacob asked me. I nodded.
