The Unwanted

Chapter 3: Mixed Feelings

ARIA'S P.O.V:
Who knew that a single child could make someone so devasted. I looked at the empty crib and tear up.

'Stop it Aria, you are stronger than this.'

I kept saying that in my head, while walking around the room, then I saw Ura entered.

"Ura......you're back." I said since I didn't expect her to walk in.

"Yes your grace." She responded as she bowed before me.

I gestured her to rise and smelled her. She reeks of death and agony.

"Were you successful in doing your task? Tell me everything." I said as I sat on my chair.

"Yes your grace." She says as she rises from her feet and placed her hands behind her back.

"Upon entering the forest, they was utter silence, as expected where the dead slumber. Then a figure approached me...and I taught I was about to be attacked...but the person didn't.  He then introduced himself and offered to take the offspring and that was it."

I got up and began making some Dragon scale tea and asked, "Were you able to know the man's name Ura?"

She nodded and responded, "His name is Jillian..."

I paused and looked at her. Out of all the people, why did he have to appear. I...couldnt comprehend what I was feeling.

Anger..
Sadness..
Hope..
Despair...

Hope....
Will there be any more hope left..

"Your grace...are you ok?"  Ura's voice became so clear....why? Suddenly, everything began shaking.

"Jillian....surprised that you're alive after all." I chuckled and everything stopped shaking. "I can't wait to make you life a living hell." I said as I looked at Ura, whose shaking and nervously sweating.

"Ura....you've done well." I said cupping her face and gave her the most sinister grin. "Let me...reward you."

Ura's P.O.V:
What was that? It felt so enormous and terrifying...

Was that the power of Aria? I didn't know she was capable of that. Is that the power that was said to conquer worlds?

I couldn't help but shake and sweat..

"Ura..." I jumped as I heard her say my name.  Something definitely changed in her. Her eyes...isnt the same as it was.

I couldn't respond... I couldn't move... I couldn't do anything. She then cupped my face and looked my with a terrifying and sadistic grin.

"You've done well. Let me reward you." Was the last thing I heard until I felt something in me....it was burning my soul.

"I have granted you the Powers of a Phoenix. Congratulations." Aria says as she outstretched her arm.

I held her hand and she brought me to my feet. The Power of the Phoenix, why would she grant me the honor to use this magic energy? I mean, I'm happy to gain this power, but did she make the right choice?

"Your grace, are you positive I am the one who's worthy of such magic?" I questioned her but all she did was chuckled and left, leaving me confused.

Aria's P.O.V:
I left Ura knowing that she would have questions.

Now what am I to do about Jillian? I can't figure out what to do. I know eventually he will come back, both him and my son. Let's just hope that it doesn't come as soon as expected.

Why so lost Aria, are you caught up in the past?
Trying to see how long your secrets could last?
Soon you wouldn't have to worry no longer,
When you're buried six feet under......
