"Omg, what happened."
Ron said running to help me carry Mia.

"I don't know. She left to get ingredients for a balm and didn't come home. So I apparated to find her, and she was chained up. Chains covering her hand, when I removed them I saw this."
I said showing them her dark blackened skin.

"But after I took her outside, she started screaming and literally constructed an explosion. This has never happened before and I don't know what to do. The explosion happened after I said Owen Blake."
I said covering her ears and unsure of what to do.

"What's on her back."
Harry said.

"It's the dark phoenix mark, I told you that ages ago."
I said confused.

"No it's not that."
Harry said even more concerned than the last time.

I looked at her back, it said 'Lethal'. Clearly made by a blade.

"Do you think Owe-"
Ron began to say his name.

"Don't say his name."
I said covering Mia ears.

"She can't hear it, you've got no idea what she's capable of right now. It's almost like a trigger word."
I said removing my hands from her ears.

"Wake her, we need to see what we are dealing with."
Harry said.

"Are you crazy. What if this kills her."
I said furiously.

"We need to know how to help her."
Ron said.

"Fine."
I said reluctantly.

"Mia, wake up."
I said gently brushing her hair from her face.

Her eyes opening, her coming to her feet surprisingly.

"What happened?"
She said confused.

"We don't know yet, but we need to test something. Can you turn around please."
I asked her.

She turned facing the Manor.

"Stand behind her."
I said to Harry and Ron.

"Owen Blake."
I shouted.

She screamed out, fire producing from her hands demolishing the Manor in seconds. Wasn't as powerful as before, but it made the Manor fall.

"Bloody hell."
Ron said shocked.

She stopped screaming, still standing this time. Turning to me.

"What is happening to me?"
She said.

"I don't know Princess."
I said reaching for her hand.

"No, don't touch me."
She said.

"What?"
I said.

"What if I hurt you."
She said tears falling down her face.

"You won't."
I said, unsure if she could, but not showing it.

"I will."
She said backing away from me.

I walked closer trying to hug her. Maybe calm her down slightly, her fury could only make it worse.

"Stop. Stop. Stop."
She screamed.

She waved her hand. Stopping me from moving. Her eyes red.

"What the hell."
Harry said.

"Don't come any closer."
Mia yelled at me and looking over at Ron and Harry.

"Princess."
I said looking at her.

She was trying so hard to ignore me. But couldn't.

"What!"
She shouted.

"It's okay. Turn around."
I said.

She turned slowly. I was probably going to regret this, but she needs to release all their built up rage, all that power.

"Owen Blake!"
I shouted.

She screamed louder than before. Producing more fire than before, as her claw protruded. Her feathers flowing back, wings spread.

"Let it out, Be free."
I shouted.

Letting out the loudest caw sending waves of sound for miles. The energy of her turning sending us three flying back. She became ablaze, burning to nothing more than a pile of ash.
Waves of power being released into the atmosphere.
I stood looking at the ash,as it reconstructs floating, bringing back Mia in her human form.

"Feeling better?"
I ask.

"A lot."
She said.

"Can I."
I said reaching for her hand.

She grabbed my hand, hugging me so tight.

"My back, it's hurts."
She said wincing.

I let her go quickly thinking I had hurt her. I looked to my feet not wanting to tell her what was written there.

"What is it?"
She asked.

"Lethal."
I said still looking at my feet.

"What?"
She repeated.

"Your back it says lethal."
I said looking into her confusion filled eyes.

"What? Why?"
She asked.

"I don't know. But I think it was him. You know."
I said not wanting to say his name.

"You can say his name, I'm not going to go up in a puff of smoke."
Mia said, giggling slightly.

"Owen Blake. I think he did it."
I said staring at her.

"See told you I'd be fine."
She said.

"Not the point."
I said.

"Can we go home?"
She asked, her eyes wilting slightly.

"Yes, we can."
I said grabbing her.

"Thanks for coming by the way. I've probably just dragged you out of your dinner."
I said to Ron and Harry.

"It's fine, you needed help. Even though you could've done without it."
Ron said.

Ron and Harry both apparated home, and I apparated with Mia clinging to me.
