Fires Collided

⁵

I stayed in bed for a very long time.Trying to sleep.But no.I couldn't get my mind off of my father's words.I went down to the fireplace and sat in front of it.I started playing with it.Then I sent a fire message to my father.

"Sorry for disappointing you.Wasn't my intensions.But I can't change it father.About the thing I wanted to talk to you about the other day.Why haven't you told me that we come from a very old Dragondeth bloodline?I wouldn't have been so shocked once I figured out that fact by going through books.Placing dragons in them so I wouldn't find out about it?Smart move.But as you wish I won't come back for Chrismas."

And sent it.I couldn't sleep.But I heard someone."Whoever you are.Come out.I'm not in the mood."He chuckled."Who said I'm hiding?"I stood up and turned around."Yeah I'll leave."I was passing by him when he grabbed my arm and whispered."Daddy issues isn't a good look on you,love."I chuckled as I bit the inside of my cheek."Mommy is disappointed in you.How does it feel?"I sighed."I'm going to be honest.It was pretty expected."I chuckled."But I expected more than disappointment from my father.So I guess that's good."I took his hand off of my arm slowly and walked away.I was just about to open the door he set a guard between the door and me.I wasn't going to be a hardass and annoy him even though I wanted to do it so much."I'm listening."I lied down on the couch.I got the blanket next to the couch and wrapped it around me.

I said I was listening but I wasn't.I slept like a baby right on that couch.I woke up to a finger poking me."What?""What are you doing here?Did you sleep here?"I got up and stretched my arms."And you are?""Marigold Hatch.But I doubt it'll stay that way.So call me Marigold Fern."I chuckled."We got a fanatic.Anyways.What time is it?"She rolled her eyes."It's almost breakfast time."I sighed."Thanks.Bye."I wrapped the blanket around me and over me as I walked upstairs.

"What happened to you?"I rolled my eyes at Silver."I have been waked by one Marigold Hatch.Sorry.Marigold Fern."Silver laughed with the rest of the girls."So you met Mari.She says she's in love with Fern.I mean this is the second day she's been here."I chuckled."Yeah I don't have time for this.Mama is hungry."I changed and left.A flame came while I was eating."Rosalind Monroe?""That's me."The flame wondered around me."It's you alright.Headmaster says that you have visitors.Follow me."I turned to Silver."I should go."I grabbed my stuff and left.

I followed the flame to the headmaster's office.There was two people.One woman and one man.They were talking about me."Here you are Ms.Monroe."I stepped forward."Please excuse my manners but what am I doing here again?If this is about the uniform thing yesterday I changed after I was warned."Headmaster laughed."No Ms.Monroe.As my flame said you have visitors."Then the people I talked about turned around."Rosalind?""People mostly call me Rose but yep that's me."I am so confused right now.So...confused."Do you know who we are?"I shook my head."So ill mannered that son of ours.Not even mentioning about his parents who raised him for years to his daughter."

"Grandma?Grandpa?"They nodded.I stepped closer."Ms.Monroe you have the rest of the day off by the request of your grandparents.You may enjoy it with them.If you wish to join your classes you may."I nodded and grandpa offered his arms for me and grandma.I said I wanted to change if we were leaving the academt and after I changed he took us to his carriage."C'mon.Go in.It's not going to eat you."I went in and they drove to a very fancy restaurant."Mr.Monroe.What a pleasure to see you here.What can I get you?"After they ordered it was me."I just had breakfast but I'll get a salad to not be rude."

"If you don't want to eat then don't.No one is forcing you."I smiled."Then I'll just get a glass of sparkling water."The waiter nodded and left.While they were eating and talking with me a man in fully black clothing showed up."Mr.and Mrs.Monroe.What a pleasure to see you here."They offered the man to sit down with us.But he seemed way familiar.More than he should look like."I'm sorry I am interrupting your conversation but can I get your name sir?"He was so serious nothing was understandable just like Dresden."Pheonix Fern."I couldn't help but chuckled."Is there something funny with my name?"I shook my head.

"No of course not.But I have question.How does it feel to raise a bully?I mean...what did you had to do to get your son to be a bully?I am very curious.I am not trying to sound like I'm snitching him to you I just want to know what you did or our wife did for him to turn out the way he turned out."He was furious.His head was on fire.I grabeed the flames over his heand and started playing with it."You're just like me.Short tempered.At least I know how to control it."Then I killed the flame with my bear hands and looked him in the eye.

"How dare you talk about me and my wife like that?"He threw me to the wall with his strong fireballs."Talking is easy.But it helps."I grabbed his fireballs and started jugling with them."This is fun."But he recalled his fireballs and then started choking me bear hand.That's when I sent a fire message to Ralph himself."I understand the way you act.Really I do.Your father's grip is tight when he's choking someone by the way.It might even leave bruises.Telling from exprience."

Then grandma and grandpa got him off of me."Get your hands off of my granddaughter Pheonix!"Then they got me out of there and got me into the carriage."You provoked him."I chuckled."Not my fault that it was easy.Somebody certainly skipped his emotion control class with Dresden."Grandpa's frozen face formed a smile."Do not encourage this!"But then grandma smiled too and I just burst into laughter."I'm sorry."But all the ride back to the academt we talked about how funny it was.Right when I was getting out of the carriage I got a fire message.

"What are you up to Monroe?!"

I think I pissed Ralph off enough.I sent one back.

"Nothing.Absolutely nothing.I am as innocents as a newborn baby.But I gotta admit.Your grip around my neck was nothing to next to what your father has done.I was able to talk when you did."

This'll keep him pissed off for the rest of the day.
