Chapter 23
The Story
“Girl, I ask that you try not interrupt, if you have questions then wait till the end” Nix states.
“To start there are a few things that are going to be hard to hear and there will be some things that you will want answers to straightaway but you must wait until the end.
The day that I was born was the first time I was entranced by the world all the supers we met were amazing and there were so many kinds. We lost our first feather when the other was twelve, they were pushed in the lake by the shadow walkers and that meant that the loss of our first life as my other couldn’t swim. Then we loss two feathers back-to-back we were taken to an old building and the shadow walker clan tortured us until we died and as they were burning us, we came back to life so they killed us again. The problem was that the loss of two feathers back-to-back damaged the other to such an extent that they came back a little unhinged there were times over the next ten or twenty years that the other begged me not to engulf them in our fire as the didn’t want to come back. But you see I can’t control how the fire happens its instinctual I couldn’t control it. So, after roughly fifty feathers the other gave up and because we stopped being one my fire wouldn’t light on the last death which meant we died again but this time permanently.
The second and the third others rejected me when they turned twenty-three and therefore, we didn’t continue with our lives.
The fourth other was abusive and mean and I really hated bringing that other back time and time again, I am fairly sure I went through over five hundred lifetimes with number four so that was tiring and I was hoping that things would get better but it didn’t happen. Finally, after a thousand years the other died of old age I can tell you that I was so happy. I thanked the goddess daily when that hell was over.
The fifth other was anti super, I am fairly sure that they were a human that got trapped into a super by accident I mean they hated being out in public and they never talked to any other super they lived alone and had such a boring life, but that was nothing and once they turned twenty-two, they found out what would happen when they turned twenty-three so they killed themselves a day before their twenty third birthday. There was nothing I could do so I died before I was ever born which was a new experience.
My sixth other, well they were one of the first others that I liked. She was a gentle girl, but she was also the first other that taught me that not everyone is who they are meant to be. For example, those that are gentle are they gentle for real life or is it an act, for twenty-three years I believed everything that she said and did but that was where it stopped. When she turned twenty-three, she became something else, I gave her the story and what the prophecy was and she was shocked and scared but she accepted me after we joined as one everything went downhill super-fast. It was like I was joined with a completely different person. She wasn’t gentle and kind she was mean, bitter and revengeful but what really hurt was that she managed to hide all her nasty behaviour from me which should have been hard but she did it and it killed me. For over two thousand years I had to live with that nasty bitter thing. Eventually we died and it was hard and painful as she tied to bargain for another shot. But the thing is nothing we did during our time was good so we left a horrible nightmare and history behind.
After that, all supers became kind of scared Phoenix’s so whilst we still have all the power and we were in charge but we made sure to be fair and even with our punishments should the supers require it. After a time, a really long time I was finally reborn with you.
I was scared and resentful of you from the moment we opened our eyes for the first time, but I slowly saw things that were happening that you didn’t know about, I watch as your twit of a sister poisoned you when you were one and then being left in the park, your tragic life continued for years when your mother was killed when you were four that was when I realised that I could trust you. I witnessed all of you pain and suffering, I witness you beg to end your life and not let harm come to the Sib’s but what really changed my mind was when you defended Skky after Jameson’s wife and child died when you were ten years of age. You knew there was something about Skky’s story that didn’t add up but you gave her the benefit of doubt. You were there as Jameson broke and shattered you stayed up for days just sitting with him and when you finally passed out that was the day you realised that there was something wrong with Skky and her story.
You confronted her and I remember that she threatened to kill you if you spread that nasty rumour, that was the first time you stood up to her and slapped her across that face. It was also the first time that Jameson witnessed the cruelty that you suffered due to Skky’s hands. But when he went to retaliate you begged him not to as she was our sister but what you didn’t know was that Jameson was already suspicious of her.
He knew something was wrong.” Nix says while looking at my face. I am sure that she could see the tears running down my cheeks.
