Chereads / The Phoenix's Second Life / Chapter 5 - Your Brother and I

Chapter 5 - Your Brother and I

I spent half the day with Charlotte yesterday and the half with my mum and brother. My mother tries to spend at least 3 hours a day with me and my brother and always makes sure she has dinner with us. Our father tries to spend the weekend with us, and also tries to train my brother and sister as much as he can. But todays the day where I have to ask Dickhead for help aka Kai. I stood waiting at the front door. The door swung open, it had to be Kai who opened it seeing as he lacks respect. There he stood he was extremely cute, but his personality is so sour, his hair is getting longer, he wears it in a ponytail, and it touches his shoulders. His eyes are a deep purple they glow ever so slightly when trying to read my eyes.

Kai POV

I can't hear anything on the other side of the door, which means she's here. I feel excited to see her again, she's a mystery, I wanna find out why I can't read her mind. I know that Asmin can resist my mind reading as well as his parents and older sister. But if I focus enough, I can read their mind, but hers it's silence. I hate being in crowded spaces, or areas, but when I look at her everything goes silent, its peaceful. I try and being nice to her, but it doesn't come out right, I end up saying the wrong thing. I feel like she probably hates me. I opened the door and her touched the floor, I had no idea it was that long, it looks like gold, her eyes almost feel like they're burning. I'm beginning to believe that she's more powerful than anything or anyone I've come across. Her face was like caramel, so smooth. When me and my sister got run out of our empire Rusa, the Pyro empire took us in. Pyro empire is one of if not the most powerful and dangerous empire in this world. They say that Roy Pyro is a heartless ruthless man, however when he's around his family he's a loving doting father and husband. I can see why Phoenix is quite pretty, like a flower that shines under the sun.

Phoenix POV

"Sadly, my sister is sick so it will be just the two of us." He said, his lips forming into a grin from ear to ear. "She told me you needed my help with something".

"Wow could you try and not look proud of yourself" He really does have a God complex. "Follow me", I said while walking towards the garden.

"Before I help you. I want you to answer my question" he said, folding his arms and looking down at me. Staring into my eyes he looked away in frustration.

"Depends on the question. Will depend on whether I can answer it" I said which was the truth, I'm forbidden by my parents to disclose my identity. But if it's to save them I'll have to disobey my parents.

"What's your rank with spiritual power?" He said, appearing as if he's being careful with his questions, so I have to answer. In a way I feel like he already knows who I am.

"I'm a rank 3, when I get older my rank will become rank 5"

"How do you know your rank? You haven't been tested yet"

"I answered your question. So will you help me now?" Maybe I shouldn't have answered that question but since I've read the book, I already know what will happen, I know what Phoenix rank was already. I feel like he's testing me, I didn't think an 8-year-old would be this smart.

"That was the deal. What do you need me to do?" He asked

"Something is planning to assassinate my family. The only problem is that I don't know who it is all I know is that it will happen on the 6th of August. I need you to help me investigate. I know you can read minds, maybe you can help me prevent the assassination from happening."

"So, you're telling me that, you know your family will be assassinated, you just don't know who, what or how it will happen."

"Yes, that's corrected."

"How do you know all this will happen"

"Just trust me" I said

"That's the problem I don't know if I can, I can't use my usually way to see if you're telling the truth. I also find it strange that you know these things."

"Well, you considered my brother to be your friend. Do you not?"

"I also find it strange the way you talk, I mean for a child who's turning 6 you sound older. The way you pronounce your words, you use the correct tenses. But yes, I considered your brother my friend. I'll help you".

"Well. We have to run away together. We will have to go to the other nobility lands and start there. The only people who would have anything against my family would be them. Then we will go to the Church."

"That will take months to do by foot do you know how big the empire is. It's huge, unless you can find something that can fly it will take too long. And by that time, I'm sure your father would find us. And kill whoever land were on, he'll assume that they kidnapped us."

"Don't worry, I can find us an animal that can fly, but it's a 2-day trip"

"Oh yeah, I'm sure we'll look tasty to the night creatures. Why don't we bring some cutlery, for them to drain us dry."

"Wow, you sure are sarcastic and pessimistic. As long as we keep moving, we will be fine. Plus, I can make fire from my hands. And you can read minds, so you'll know before they even come" I said feeling proud of myself.

"This is a dumb idea"

"So, you're saying you're a pussy"

"Why do you even know what that means"

"Puss, Puss"

"Fine, we will do it. But he I die I'll haunt you forever."
