chapter 30
Hennessy/Nix cont.
Well number six was horrible not as bad as number four but close. Six lied, cheated and stole anything thing that wasn’t nailed down. She preyed on the weak and if she thought that she could pull one over on you she totally would. Her mother wasn’t much better, from a young age she convinced number six that she was destined for great things and that when the time came that she needed to do anything within her power to make sure that she accepted.
Her mother with the help of dark witches gave number six potion to take daily that made Nix see the opposite of whatever number six did.
If number six bullied someone it would show Nix that she was being bullied. But that all changed when she turned twenty-three and Nix saw for herself after six accepted her that she was the one that doing all the harm, Nix tried to talk to her, tried to reason with her and show her that being kind, firm and compassionate wasn’t all bad but number six wanted power and that started the reign of hell for Nix.
From years Nix went through life after life with the hope that just once she would turn over a new leaf and become good and live up her prophecy. But that never happened. It was number six that brought on the hate from the shadows. She would wax on about how strong and fierce that the Phoenix were she would tell them most of her races secretes which would bring about greed and hunger for more power.
The shadows attacked the phoenix and poison and slaughtered many. But as Nix said that they can’t die unless with honest means as they were a direct representation of the Sun god and goddess and to die by anything other than honest means couldn’t happen.
For centuries after the night of complete devastation or what was believed victory for the shadows the surviving Phoenix took off and hid vowing never to enter the world again until the prophecy could be completed.
Eventually, number six used her last life and thus Phoenix awoke back with the goddess. While the goddess tried to apologise about number six Nix shut down and wouldn’t talk. It was exactly two hundred years later that I was born and Nix was reborn with me.
I watched with tears running down my face as when I opened my eyes for the first time. Nix was angry and pissed about being reborn again. When my mother left when I was five months old telling my siblings that I was fine and being cared for that I was home alone screaming and crying as I was hungry and laying in filth. When Tito came home and found me alone and in my current state, he cleaned me up feed me and then called the others. From then on, they were a constant. Nix used eight feathers from the time I was born until my fourth birthday. It was on my four birthday that she started to realise that I wasn’t what she thought I was. From that day on she was more present for my life she tried to protect me and treatment as someone different.
I giggled as we both tasted coffee for the first time. Nix’s eyes rolled back in her head and pleasure and caffeine coursed through her body. She would jones for a cup of coffee just like me and when we had that hit, she would silently thank me.
I watched as our lives continued. It was sad seeing everything from this end seeing what she went through and what she knew. I became pissed when I learnt of everything that Skky had done and laughed as she referred to her as ‘the twit’ I watched in horror as I saw what she did to Jameson’s wife and unborn child and all the horrible things that she did. I vowed right then and there that she will pay for each and every transgression from the day that I was born.
I laughed when Tito went dancing with the spider that I found and tried to heal, Nix was so wary of the sibling and I could understand that. She was left unsure how to be around them. I watched as the dark shadow caused me to drive off the road and caused me to crash my car. It was only when I watched through Nix that she was sort of drawn to the shadow it was like she wanted to be near him but she hated him at the same time.
I watched as my family came to rescue me only, I rescued myself instead, well Nix did the rescuing. I laughed as we flew for the first time and felt the dread that Nix felt every time we had to go inside.
“You like the outdoors huh?” I whisper to the dark I laugh as the fireball dances around at my words.
Finally, I watched our conversation from early about the prophecy and our fates. Nix has fully accepted that fact that I will not accept her. In her words I am too good and gentle to ever accept what I need to do to fulfill the prophecy and what fate has decided. While I can’t say that I liked or even enjoyed what she witnessed and suffered in a previous life part of me thinks that it would be better to run and hide and hope that someone one with a better chance comes along and can help Nix with what needs to be done.
“What should I do?” I ask the empty space I watch the fireball shimmers slightly and dim like it knows that I am giving up.
“I don’t know if I can be what Nix needs me to be” I say as I sit staring at the fireball. “How do I know if I am strong enough? What happens if I am not strong enough?”
“How can I be strong enough?” I whisper to the fireball.
“Who says your not?” The fire ball hisses back at me.
