Better Together Part 3

Phoenix Prisoner

In the other room where CC's cage was, she tried everything to break out. She tried kicking the bars down or just ramming into them. She tried using her fire powers to melt or break the cage open, but it wasn't working. She even tried using a device Nathalie had given to her that would turn anything to ash. But even that wasn't working and she continued to just try to get freedom. "Quit trying Omega, you can't escape." went a voice. CC stopped what she doing and looked closely in the dimly lit room where she saw Paige confidently walking towards her. "YOU!" CC shouted and rammed into the cage again. "Yes, it's me. I honestly didn't think you'd fall for that one!" Paige snicked. "Oh, and that cage you're in, it prevents anything from breaking out of it. Made by powerful dragon magic. Not even Phoenix magic or power can break it! So get cozy Omega, you're in for the big run!" Paige taunted.

Exhausted, CC stopped and fell back before coming back to the edge where Paige was closest to. "Why are you really doing this?"CC asked her. "I've known you for a very long time. Even I know you don't care about ruling over all the citizens because you already had that chance. You aren't doing this because you felt like doing it. So why? You're a Phoenix! Just like me..." CC asked her looking down at the cage's floor. An infuriated Paige snapped around and hit the cage hard which made CC fall down. "Let's get one thing straight Omega. You and I are nothing alike! I'm more than you ever have been in your life! You're just a wannabe Alpha who got dumped at birth! You and I are not the same people." she snapped. "Oh yeah? I didn't see you at the very top of the ranks either! Last time I checked you were near the very bottom too!" CC snarled.

"Bite your tongue Omega! I wasn't the one being tormented was I?" she snapped. "Sure, Paige. I'm sure you loved being thrown down the stairs!" CC replied rolling her eyes. "So? I didn't care! I'd rather be somewhere in life than rotting like you! When I get those Wildcats their powers, I'll be able to join them on the pedestal while you rot at the very bottom serving me dishes on a silver platter!" Paige cried. "So you're doing this to impress someone that isn't your problem anymore? The one that backstabs everyone he sees?" CC snapped. "Brogan doesn't backstab everyone Omega, just when they've outserved their purpose. Which I never will!" Paige replied. "Sure, keep telling yourself that." CC replied rolling her eyes.

Paige was about to hit her cage again before taking a breather. "Anyways, you know exactly what I want. We're all alone right now, so here's the deal. Give me the stones and nothing else happens, no one gets hurt, and maybe I'll let you have some freedom, or we can do this the hard way." she explained. "So what's it gonna be?" she demanded as she placed her hand on the cage bar. "I'd rather die than give these to you!" CC snapped and backed away from Paige's grasp. "Suit yourself Omega. You wanted it this way." Paige snarled. She tapped her foot on the floor and the cage suddenly started moving. "Remember, whatever happens next, you asked for it." she reminded before walking forward.

The cage followed Paige as she walked in a certain direction. "Please Paige, you don't have to do this. Whatever you do you can't destroy these things!" CC begged. "Ha! You're a slow one that's for sure." Paige snapped. "We're not destroying them. We're just taking the power we deserve!" she announced. She giggled and rattle the cage. "One way or another Omega, I'll get those stones. However I need to do it!" she swore to her and continued to walk. At this point, CC felt helpless and didn't know what to do. She knew it was too late to try anything at this point. But then another question entered her head.

"Where are my friends?" she asked. "You'll see soon enough. It's a shame they came with you. If they knew who you really were, they probably would've never followed you here. For that matter, if everyone knew who you were, no one would want anything to do with you. Useless Omega." she taunted. Nothing to do now... guess I better just hope for the best.
