Chapter 12: The Phoenix Games


    I stood in the mirror and watched myself. I wore a ck leotard which captured my hourss figure


    pretty well. My breasts were huge, even made a little cleavage. My waist skinny, and my thighsrge,


    God really took her time when he formed this Venezun beauty that is me.


    Marisa came over and hugged me from behind. "Hey, good luck out there,"


    I held her arms for a short while and we broke off our hug. She looked at me in the mirror as well, she


    ted the fis on my head. And dug in her sling bag to grab a red flowery Aliceband, the flowers


    looked like they were on fire which spoke to me. "Marisa, aww. I love it,"


    She kissed me on the cheek. I pointed at the mirror, "how do I look? And be honest,"


    She scanned me and shook her head. "What? You look amazing,"


    "Thanks. I feel so naked."


    Jessica walked up to us. She wore the same ck leotard, the first thing I did was search for her bulge.


    But it seemed to me that she pulled it to the back because I couldn''t see it. She folded her long slender


    arms and smirked. "Ready?"


    She''s so fake. I used to like her a lot but each time I see her I want to cry.


    "Hmm... Bessy..."


    "It''s... Bethany, The Bethany Wright," Marisa corrected. But leave her to let her say what she wants.


    "Barbie, I wasn''t talking to you,"


    "Being called, Barbie could never be an insult. It just implies that you wanna kiss me. Now, skedaddle


    because this," she pointed between us all, "disrespect, will NOT be tolerated,"


    Jessica parted her lips to say something but Ms Janis came into the girl''s locker room and demanded

    attention. "Okay, girls and boys. I just wanted to say good luck on the field today. I know this has been


    a dream to many of you and today your dream might be a reality. Kick arse out there and do your


    absolute worse. After all, this game is about the beauty of death, Jessica!"


    Jessica went over to Ms Janis, who acted strangely today. Normally she would be downright a bitch


    towards me but not today. She was friendly and I appreciate that.


    Marisa turned to me and gave me two thumbs up with an enormous smile stered on her face. "Good


    luck again, and have fun out there,"


    I giggled. "Thanks, and thanks for standing up to Jessie for me,"


    She didn''t reply. She just grinned and was off.


    Ms Janis had us all stand in two rows, boys and girls and told us that in official games the two teams


    would be called and when we hear our school''s name, we go on the field. But right now we just


    followed her onto the field.


    There weren''t many spectators, a few supporters and a few actual fans who came to see the try-outs.


    We said The Phoenix Rite and got on our birds which were already on the field. I stood on the cement


    field, soon it will be covered in ashes. The field wasrge, and enclosed by the stadium seats that are


    all around us.


    The game has 24 yers, 12 boys and 12 girls. But today we were about 100 who tried out. We had to


    fight until there were either 12 girls or boys. The twelve is automatically on the team. But in this case,


    11 boys because one boy has a certified spot.


    Karan ran onto the field, why he waste? I had no idea. He wore sporty which caught me by surprise.


    I didn''t know he was also trying out.


    "Oh, everyone. This is Karan, he''s from Tah-bani and he was on their team. He was the best yer and


    now he''ll be joining us. Please give him a warm wee," Ms Janis weed.


    We all pped hands and cheered. We started the game, even if Karan wasn''t already promised a


    spot, he would''ve been on nheless. He was real good, he killed fast. Burning witches with his


    natural me. I joined him, I didn''t know that was allowed.


    The game went on for about an hour and there were only three yers left. Karan, myself and Jessica.


    Our birds pped their wings as we all decided what to do next, staring each other down in suspicion. I


    could feel the fans watching in anticipation, sitting on the edge of their seats. Nipping their nails.


    I couldn''t still think about what Karan''s next move is. I wanted to kill that son of bitch that did something


    to me although I don''t know what it was. I just know she did something. I lit up my hand, holding tightly


    onto the cor of my bird. I mustered as much me as I could, and sted Jessica with all I''ve got.


    It happened so fast. That''s what Karan did as well. We burned her, watched as our me ate through


    her stomach and spreading out to engulf all of her. She screamed. Never heard anyone scream that


    loudly before, her throat will be sore when she wakes up. She looked at me in pure hatred, but I


    couldn''t mind. This was my turf, and she had to know. Her ashes fell on the ground, some flying into


    the audience. She and her phoenix became nothing but a pile of grey dust.


    Karan chuckled and looked at me. Two yers left, the winner bes the new captain since the


    previous one just burnt to death. His scaly green eyes darted at me with a massive smile on his


    slithering glittery face. He lifted his hands, he''s going to use both his hand for me. His ck fingertips


    caught me first, and so did my red hands.


    Game-on.


    I was much more terrified than he was, still holding onto the cor of my bird. Which made him even


    more confident in winning the fight. But I wasn''t nning on letting him win that easily.


    I decided to trust my bird, they are very much ying this game as well, and we''re a team. I let go of


    the cor. He shot the first ze, my bird covered us with his big wing and flew higher to quickly restore


    its wing. He followed, shooting again. This time I made a me shield, his me shot against it but


    couldn''t prate. My heart sunk in relief because I wasn''t sure if that was going to work or not. I shot


    mes as well. He blocked it with a spell. I''m not the best with spoken spells without wands. Heck, I''m


    not even good at performing spells with the wand. I depend on my fire for everything.


    He shot again, I caught him off with a ze of my own. The fire burnt out, which appeared to impress


    the crowd. If we were going to shoot mes, we were going to have to touch each other directly. Since


    if the me touches each other it dies.


    He said something, a spell and breathed out an enormous me that came directly at us. We stood and


    watched in panic, it neared us so fast. Started burning us before it could even touch us. I said one of


    my favourite spells, "Twidroba!"


    The fire consumed us but my bird and I turned to ashes without experiencing any of the pain that would


    spells that''s more or less the same.


    I could feel how I slowly became nothing but air, saw as my ashes fell to meet the rest. I saw until I


    couldn''t see it anymore. Until I couldn''t feel my quickened heartbeat anymore.


    *****


    On earth my friends are Derek, he''s a fairy, Sindra and Kin. A vampire hybrid. I walked over to her and


    her friends to check upon them.


    "How''s it going here?" I asked.


    Kin gave me a warm smile. She has the sexiest smile I''ve ever seen. I wish I could take it but her soul


    doesn''t y, she gets real scary. I looked over at Vincent, he had nasty skin. He had an outbreak of


    e. Ew. Nasty.


    "Laura''s phone got stolen. Someone broke into their home, came through the window," Kin informed.


    I was shocked. That''s terrible. "What happened? Did you get hurt?"


    I hoped she didn''t get hurt.


    She shook her head. "No, I''m fine. It just happened so fast. My phone was on the table at the entrance


    area and it got stolen. But it''s okay, I''ve been looking for a really good excuse so that my parents could


    buy me thetest iPhone. They only rece phones when it''s a real need,"


    I nodded my head. I''m d that everything worked out good for Laura. I looked over at my friend


    Jason. I like him. He didn''t seem to notice that I''m here, even though I wore this bright flowery crop top


    with my white high waisted shorts to show my legs. That''s just how he is and didn''t bother me so much.


    But it did bother me. I don''t know why even.


    Maybe I like him. Maybe I don''t. Not sure. I''ll find out as time goes by.


    I looked back at Vincent. He has a nasty face with all that giant pimples and ck and whiteheads.


    Gross. I looked at Laura again. She is so beautiful, I''m obsessed with her I wish we could be friends


    but I''m way out of her league. Poor things phone got stolen and that via break-in, that must have been


    terrifying. I can only imagine.


    I thought about the situation. I found it a tad bit strange that Laura''s phone got stolen since I stole the


    phone spiritually. Also, the window got broke, like when I entered their home. And what about Vincent?


    Could his face be like that because of me?


    Do my spiritual actions have physical consequences?
