Roxanne's P.O.V (12 years old)
I May have wondered what had went on, but I guess I was wrong about som-.
My alarm went off again. I had shut it off. It was one of the things I had sang when I was younger. And I set it as an alarm for a reason. It got me up instantly. My but it was also the fact I had set that alarm so I could help around the house. And get taught. I was taught at the orphanage. Everyone had a chance if they wanted to be taught her. But all of then choose a regular school. But I on the other hand was bullied at regular schools because of my burn scars. My hand and arm were scarred from that day on. No matter what I couldn't hide them. And kids called me scar arms, Burnt biscuit, even Roxanne the burnt. All people looked at was that scar. Oh and don't even get me started about the girls who got their ears, tails, wings. They all brag about them yet they don't know anything about them. It annoyed me.
So I decided to do the so called home schooling. And the only one that accepted me was the lady that ran it. Oh and not to mention Mr. James. Now I wasn't adopted at a young age because of my scar. And I still have yet to be adopted. And it is from that same scar. I honestly wanted just some parental love. The only thing that got close to it was Mr. James. And Ruby, the lady in charge that has the dragon wings and tail. And I knew she was something I should cherish. But something was going to happen today and I knew it.
As I got downstairs I went into the classroom. It was just me so I just sat down and Ruby started to speak about powers, listening she then said "powers when first used normally harm the user. Thus leaving a scar." I interrupted "wait, wait, wait, so that incident when I was three was when I used my power for the first time?" She nodded and said "yeah." I nodded and she continued "this scar is normally shaped to where it shows a creature. This reveals what creature you have." Looking down at the burn scar I saw the same shape over and over. A Phoenix raising from the fire.
She then asked "so Roxanne what is it shaped like?" "I've seen this ever since it healed fully, a Phoenix raising from a fire." Her eyes widen and she said "Roxanne are you sure it isn't just a regular bird raising from the water?" I waved her over and said "look for yourself." She did. Looking at the scar she then said "oh, my, god. Roxanne." I looked at her confused and she said "I never told you the tale of the Phoenix did I?" I shook my head and she then said "well, I'm just going to sum it up to you. A Phoenix and a pure bred fox will meet. They will instantly get along and feel love to each other. They have children, and have fights with old foes." I understood what she meant by old foes.
Sighing I then said "well, I hope that I can handle that." She smiled and said "oh come on, your Roxanne! Strongest person here I believe that you can handle it." I sighed and just sat there head in hands and I then said "yeah. Let's hopes so Ruby." "I know so." She let me off early this time and I could tell something was off with myself as well. Because I felt really tired and I just wanted to sleep. But when I laid down there was pain in my back. It hurt so bad. But I didn't scream. I knew the pain would go away it always did but it got worse and worse. I then felt pressure. And soon I felt skin tearing but healing as well. I let out a loud scream.
I heard pounding as Ruby was trying to get to my quick. When she came in she saw me on my bed with blue wings that had a span of at least 52 feet. She gasped and said "Roxanne your a blue fire Phoenix." I winced in pain as the skin fully healed to stop them from bleeding. I then said "yeah and I knew something was going to happen today. Guess I was right?" Ruby was still shocked yes but she then said "Roxanne, you still have yet to get the tail. Do you want me to leave?" I shook my head and said "I need more support then ever, this hurts so bad." Yeah the pain was now all in my tailbone. She walked over to me and sat by my head. She took my head by my lap and said "I know the pain sweetheart. After all I am a dragon." I chuckled weakly and the pain soon got worse just a little less then the wings but the tearing of the skin got to me again. Screaming loudly from the pain I felt tears run down my face. This was one of the first times in a while I cried from physical pain. I just stayed there in Ruby's lap hoping for the pain to go away soon. And it did. The tail was quicker then the wings. The tail was exactly like a birds tail only feathers to help them turn and glide. My tears had soon dried when the skin fully healed. I had felt no more pain. And Ruby hadn't got hurt like I thought she would. Ruby smiled and said "all done now. See your beautiful. Those wings are such a pretty blue. And those tail feathers just the same. And guess what now I can teach you so much more about your power. We already know you have regular fire. But what about blue fire?" She continued talking until I fell asleep. That was the most energy consuming thing I had went through.
Through the time I was asleep Ruby left and went to greet the other kids along with tucking me in. I ended sleeping through out the day. But that didn't stop me from anything the next day. We started training for concealing them. A lot of people were looking for the Phoenix to have children with. And I didn't want that I was only 12! But I didn't get it on the first day. No one does so says passed as I was learning the spell. It wasn't too long before I learned though. It only took two or three days. My wings and tail were always concealed. And I didn't show them.
After learning the spell ruby went on to teaching me how to tap into my powers. Days went on all we did for those days was mediation. We did that for a whole week. And I could tell something was up. But one day during meditating I felt that same warmth from when I was three. Opening my eyes I see my hand on fire not just any fire though, blue fire. Staring at the fire I watched it. I didn't feel any pain from it. When Ruby felt the room slowly get warmer she opened her eyes. She looked at me and said "oh my. Now that is some pretty fire. When did that happen?" "A few minutes ago. And the good thing is it has yet to burn me." Ruby smiled and she then said "well it only hurts you the first time. And only then does it hurt." I smiled as I watched the flame just dance in my hand.
I then asked "um Ruby? How do you put the fire out?" She looked at me and then said "normally you would think of the room getting colder and colder." Of course I tried but it didn't work. It just made my hand a little warmer. She gulped and said "think of the room getting warmer?" So I did. My hand got colder. The room slowly cooled down. Opening my eyes I looked around and there was no fire anywhere. Now even on my hand any more. Sighing I then said "thank you Ruby. I thought I was going to burn myself." She let out a quite chuckled and said "your welcome. I am supposed to teach you after all."
I smiled at her she was always like a mom to me. And it made me feel so much more welcomed. She treated all the kids like that. Not just me. After all it is her job. She called off class early today she said that I was doing so well. And that I could use a break. So I ended up cleaning the house, well, mini hotel. It was clean very quick the kids here were actually good at cleaning up after themselves. All I had to do was dust, sweep, vacuum, and mop. Easy as that. And the place was clean. And then came the swarm of kids coming in. Some my age, other older, and others younger.
The younger ones seemed to love me, the ones my age not so much, the ones older, we got along but we aren't friends. Of course I spent the rest of the day playing with the younger kids. And helping them with homework. But one kid had asked me a question "what happened to your arm? Does it hurt?" I smiled at them and said "well, I was burned. But it doesn't hurt anymore it use to hurt but I got all better from this magical doctor. And her husband." The kid smiled and I then said "they also protected me from the nasty demons that hurt me. So I trust then a lot." We continued playing around the room and when it got to the time that it was time for them to sleep I had put them into their beds and tucked them in. And I was ready to sleep as well.
Getting to my room I saw Ruby there. She smiled at me and handed me a letter she then said "please don't read it till you get adopted ok?" I nodded I knew I should listen to her words she then said "you should sleep we will continue training tomorrow." Nodding she left I knew she wasn't ready for me to know some stuff. And I completely understood her with that after all.
She was the one that took me in. As I walked to the dresser in my room I changed into my pajamas. A white tank top and sweat pants. It was the best thing to sleep in. Especially in the winter time. It was cold after all. As I got ready for bed I then went to brush my teeth. Making sure I was done with it I then put my hair up into a bun. And I was then ready to sleep. And as soon as I laid down I fell asleep and I felt the happiest I had ever felt.
I know I belong here. I know that the kids need me, that Ruby needs me, that the people I know here need to know I am ok. I also knew that the people that weren't here needed to know I was ok, after all I was the one who was burned by fire and found myself at a police office. It was fate I came here and it is fate that I will leave here, adopted or not. All I know is either way with this I would be happy. I was after all Roxanne the girl who can deal with anything that she is faced with and I am the girl who needed to be strong for everyone else as well.

So yeah it is 3:16am over here and I just needed to write this it makes me feel happy to do this after all no matter how tired I am after this. I just need to write/type when I feel the urge to type so yeah. I am also trying to keep it at 2000 words lol.
