The Rejected Phoenix novel Chapter 6

Chapter Six.

Subtitle : her grandmother.

** General POV **

Melanie began to panic as soon as Charlie went out of sight.

She sobbed as tears roll down her eyes.

Why did she agreed to come here anyway?

Why did she just come here of all places.

She could have just stayed back at home and pretend nothing happened between her and the alpha king.

At least she would still have a roof over her hed and food to eat even if everyone detested her.

Killing herself out here by offering her body as burnt offering to a fire beast was an insane option.

But she's already here.

No going back..

She sniffed and dried her tears before walking towards the border that lead into the desert.

Her sandald where dried and broken since she had being managing them for three years..

She had lost them while those two rogues kidnapped her.

She only hard a leggings on and her brown rusty hoodie.

As thick socks covered her feet.

As she stepped into the border of the desert and huge and blinding wind hit her hard in the face.

She shivered and screamed moving back.

After the wind has settled down she ambled back towards the desert.

Her eyes that was filled with tears seconds ago was now replaced with a face of determination.

She was ready to sacrifice herself to the beast if she would have peace of mind and forget about her heart that was hurting.

She was ready to take the risk.

As she stepped into the desert one more time a different kind of feeling hit her.

It was a feeling of dangernyet it screamed power.

She was scared to bones.

It was dry and carried around a banished humor.

She was afraid to the core for her life.

It was cold and freezing.

She had just a hood on and a pair of torn dirty leggings with a layer of sox.

It was a rough thing to encounter.

The breeze churned at her ears as it made angry sounds.

She shuddered and bite her lips.

It was as if someone was seeing her.

"Who's there? "

She asked.

Her voice echoed in the dark as it made multiple more voice as it echoed along the way.

"Pleaseee don't harm me... I just want to pass.. "

She added.

There was a sudden fuss in weather. It got too breezy that her hair was flying around in four different directions.

Her cloths fought to hug her body as it flew along.

A huge and dark figure appeared in front of her.

It was so huge that she almost fainted.

The beast was huge and looked like it had wings.

She whimpered and moved backwards.

With every step she takes the beast takes one after her.

And when the beast spoke it has the most unusual voice ever.

It was as sweet as a flute bread and was as melodious as her mother's lullaby.

She widened her eyes in surprise.

"hmmmm. How long would it have taken you to find me? "

The beast asked.

She cringed.

"please don't eat me... I'm just gonna pass here and I won't come back again... "

She muttered still going back.

"pass to where? I've waited nineteen years for you to come to me and now you want to pass? How redundant!"

The beast was angry as it reflects in its feminine voice.

Melanie could tell the beast was female from the way it talked so sweetly yet it's dark figure betrays it's sweet voice.

She still couldn't pin point what it was exactly.
