The Assassin's Burden *Discontinued*

Chapter 3

Phoenix's POV
As I was about to leave, a sword was pointed at my neck..

"We caught you" Ace said with a satisfied look in his face

"Let her go!" The fisherman demanded

"She's evil, Paul" Ace said cutting a bit of my skin

Blood trickled down my throat and I glared at him

"No! She saved me and my family from that thief!" 'Paul' said pointing at the knocked out man

"I'm sorry, Paul, but she needs to pay for killing the innocent" Ace said as he took me away from the man and the house

"Why are you brainwashing that innocent man?" He asked

"I'm only gonna answer one question so are you sure you want that question to be answered?" I asked him

"Who sent you?" He asked

"The one and only, Jaxon Leonis" I said with a smirk

"What..? We... Were right?" His grip loosened and I took advantage of it and ran away from him..

I ran towards the shore and closed my eyes. I concentrated and pictured the place where I want to go and hoped that I don't mess it up again.

"Halt! We have you surrounded, surrender or face the consequence!" Their lord, Rose shouted as their bows and swords were pointed at me

I looked behind them and opened my eyes. I gave them a smirk that they probably couldn't see....

"Yeah, right." I raised my hand as I formed a ball of light in front of me and I threw it to the sky

"Fire!" Rose shouted and ball of light fell on me and covered me as it then disappeared

"I knew I should've focused harder!" I yelled in frustration as I stood in the middle of an unknown forest

I suddenly felt a sting on my body and saw a bunch of arrows sticking to it and my cloak torn to pieces. I sat down as I grabbed the arrows one by one.

"Ugh! I know you're there! Come out, Sister." I said as a figure appeared from the shadows, A woman with pale skin and gray eyes, her hair was darker then the night and the scar on her left cheek made her stand out

"Phoenix, I can aid you" Eudora said as she took a step forward

"Stop. Didn't father forbid you from visiting me?" I asked

"No... He.. thinks you're dead and I quote, 'Together with her mum', Oh my Uma! Did I just say that out loud?" She said as her eyes widened

"How's Esmeralda, Lunox and Vexana?" I asked as I pulled out one of the arrows and hissed from the pain

Eudora sat beside me as she placed her hand on top of my wound as blue light flowed from it and into my wound. Slowly yet quickly my wound disappeared.

"They're fine... They've been begging me to escape when I get the chance though" She said then chuckled "But you do know I can't leave them behind... Who knows what father will do to them.."

My heart broke listening to what our father has been doing to them. I pulled another arrow and she healed the wounds again

I looked at her with determination. "I WILL get you out of that mansion, I promise" I said as I pulled out my mask and I put my index finger on my thin pale lips then gestured a cross on my heart.

"Are you sure she's here, Nora?" A familiar voice asked. My eyes widened as I recognized who's voice was speaking. She was with a witch... One that can easily locate someone through their aura.
