The Rejected Phoenix novel Chapter 7

Chapter seven.

Subtitle : reborn of the Phoenix Princess.

** Still on general POV **

Melanie groaned in pans as she opened her eyes.

Her back arched and she was squirming.

Her tummy made a loud growl, she was damn hungry and needed food to fill her empty stomach.

Her throat was soggy and dry, it longed for a drip of water on it.

She opened her eyes abruptly and looked around the strange room.

It was neat,bright and looked elegant.

The room was fit for royalty, she wondered where she was.

The last thing she could remember was her fainting while having a conversation with a huge bird only for it to turn into an old lady and say it was her grandmother.

The next and last thing was she fainted.

She shrugged her shoulders and yawned sitting up on the bed edge.

** Melanie's POV **

I shrugged off my shoulders.

"must be one of my frequent nightmares"

I thought to myself as I sank my hands in my hair.

I had no idea who mounted me here.

"I see your awake.. "

The familiar new voice echoed from behind me.

I flinched and hurried back on the bed in fear as I mounted to the Corner, my eyes glaring at the old lady angrily.

The lady sighed and walked over to me with a tray in her hands, I quivered in fear.

"you need not to be afraid of me dear.. I know you've been hurt badly, really bad beyond repair and it's hard for you to trust anyone aside from yourself.. I'm not asking for your trust but for you to loosened up and open up to me..

I'm truly your grandmother when I said I was... "

The old lady spoke to me in the most kind and mild voice anyone has ever used to speak to me except my mother of course.

"you... You.. How can I be sure your not fooling me old lady?"

I asked.

She sighed again and touched my hair gently. I shivered but let her touch me.

Somehow I felt her touch was not harmful at all and it gave me a welcoming feeling.

" this mark here is a mark every lady in our lineage has... I was born to a family of six... My father, mother where both having powers. My father was a werewolf king just like yours while my mother was a phoenix.. I was the eldest of the children in my household, I took after my mother and was phoenix..., The last of my kind as I was tagged.

My next sister was a fox.. She was hunted and killed by the black witch four decades ago after they took her pearl..

My next brother was a dragon.

He was the most powerful of all dragons but has since being exiled to the immortal wolrd to guard the net between the good and evil.

My last brother was a vampire... He still roams the human world up till date and does not plan on returning. He has quiet a good life.

We were the cursed lineage.. We where cursed my the almighty being so that our spiritual powers where scattered and non of us had harmony with each other...

Right now our household is scattered...

The reason your power hasn't showcase yet is because your not reborned and your firebird has not being hatched....

And don't ask me of a firebird.

A firebird is a guardian bird that every phoenix has apart from his or her original soul bird.

The soul bird and the firebird are connected and bound for life such that the other can't die while the other one is still alive..

You haven't name your bird and take good care of it first.. "

The old lady explained.

Somehow I was getting a clue of what she was saying.

The mark she had on her wrist was a jet feather mark.

I had the same mark, so does my mother...

I was starting to believe she was my grandmother...

Rmcold tears welled up in My eyes.

"I'm.. I'm.. A phoenix.. A phoenix princess? And I was ridiculed and called a weak girl, weaker than a human.

My mate rejected me the first time he set his eyes on me...

I was hated by people I called family.. Where were you grandma?

You never thought of saving me or my mom! "

I busted my heart out and looked at the old lady with anger and untamed emotions laced on my face.

She sighed and bend her head holding my shoulders with both hands.

" I'm so sorry grand daughter.. There was nothing I could do.. My powers has already being binded with this desert when I decided to create a firebird for you.

I lost my powers to leave this desert for ever.

If I do so I would die within seconds of stepping out of the boundary."

She muttered and pulled me into a deep hug.

I allowed myself to crash in her arms as I savoured the feeling of being loved and cared for by someone which I haven't had in a long time..

Suddenly the old lady coughed hard and let go of me.

That was when I noticed her mouth which was now bloodied as she vomits blood on the bed.

"grand mother! "

I didn't know when I exclaimed and hold her by the wrist...

I was worried for the old lady.

Come quick hold my hands! "

She muttered with strenght and I found myself hurrying towards her.

I took her hands and soon before I could even blink my eyes we had disappeared and appeared in the open dusty desert..

The atmosphere was really terrifying like the first time she was here and she sulked in her breath.

She collected the large egg from me and kept it nearly in a corner.

Where it will be unharmed.

"now I'm going to create a flame which will burn us both into ashes. "

I shuddered at what she said with yes widened open.

"after that you will be reborn as the new phoenix princess known to earth.

My body will be gone and my soul will be divided into two.

I will leave behind part of my soul in this earth inside of this necklace so you should hold it tied in your hands even if the fire will cause you pain.

Do not let go of me..

After you are reborn I will be long gone to the immortal world.

You then should give the necklace to your mother and let her keep me in her heart...

Let her know that I will always love her only. "

Grand mother explain as I could feel the pains in her heart echo in her voice.

I too was heartbroken.

I looked at her with an pale face and engulfed myself in her arms.

I cried and sobbed for God know how long until she was able to coax me to shut up.

"we have just three minutes left.

We must hurry... This is my final goodbye to you granddaughter. Grandma loves you so much.... "

She muttered and kissed my forehead for five seconds.

She then slipped the jet necklace into my palm and clasped it for me.

She then closed her eyes and I could feel her fire began to burn with fury.

It burned and grow into flames which engulfed us both.

I yelled and yelled in pains as I felt my body get roasted in the flames...

The pains were excruciating and hell.

I was in a world of torment.

"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggvrrrrrrrgggvghhhhh! "

I yelled and I felt every single bone in my body crack broken as my body finally went numb and I closed my eyes to welcome the dark.

The jet necklace was still clutched in my fingers as I held it closer to myself.
