Chapter 55 Lineage of the Phoenix-2

Carrie runs uphill with all her might. She fled the scene as soon as she was able to hear the

whispers outside from Dylan and Alarick. Though they have great senses, they still don't match hers NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

since she is still considered one of the moon goddesses. Even if she was thrown out of that realm.

She runs towards her hideout in an old rugged cabin. She holds her robe and dress in her hand as

she bypasses many branches and trees. Quickly as she can, she bursts to open the door and closes it

harshly behind her.

She wears a small ring on her right ring finger. A small box in her left hand that she holds tightly.

She quickly scavenges around the cabin, panting and trying to ease her heart from thumping so loud in

her ears.

"There!" She says as she glimpses towards a loose wood on the floor. Using her magic, she lifts

the wood off the floor along with many other pieces. Magically, she chants, making a pathway appear

out of nowhere, creating a tunnel down to a secret room she creates with her magic.

Her magic is seemingly so surreal; making objects and furniture appear of thin air. She opens her

robe, a few small jars she holds in a pouch.

She takes the small jars out, with extra of the ugly potion she had created earlier today to bring

back to consciousness Harou and Candace's baby.

She places them on the small table she creates, alongside a small cauldron and a ladle. "Ok! Let's

see if I can remember this. If I can just bring that girl's body here, I can have enough blood to complete

my ritual and be able to freeze Selene's stupid curse for just a few seconds. Enough for me to enter

and get back home."

She begins by puncturing the heart she holds inside the small box. "Ok, Emma! Let's see how

good you will work for me shall we?" She extracts a bit of the blood and pours a few drops inside the

heart of that wretched green potion.

A few seconds later, the heart begins to pump on its own again. "Yes! It worked." She quickly

places the rest of the potion down and opens the other jars. She reaches into her pocket and brings out

a beautiful crystal in a white and pink glitter tint. She tosses the crystal inside the cauldron along with a

few pinches of each jar; slowly, she conjures the spirit of an old witch friend.

"What do you want from me, Carrie?" The spirit calls out. "Can I not rest peacefully the rest of my

time here? Why must you torment me with your presence?" The spirit is annoyed and irritated by her

presence, but knows not to test her either.

"Aren't you glad to see me, darling? Now that is very ungrateful of you dear friend!" Carrie looks at

her sternly and moves slowly towards the spirit.

"Just tell me why you have summoned me? What ugly deed do you have cooking in that mind of

yours this time? Don't tell me you're still trying to break Selene's curse keeping you from entering her

realm?" The spirit chuckles making Carrie feel irritated.

"Amber! Focus. This time it's different. I think I found the right crystal. I've been working non-stop

on my spell. I think I have it this time. All I need is a little help from you." She turns her back towards

the spirit, bringing forth the pink and white glittered crystal and the cauldron along with a small vile

containing a small portion of blood she extracted from Emma's heart.

"What is this? How did you get your hands on the blood of the Phoenix clan?" Her eyes are wide,

gasping as she sees the blood and suddenly realizes the heart itself is present.

Carrie chuckles and glances over towards the small box containing the heart. She walks slowly

towards it and picks it up in her left hand while holding the blood in her right.

"Oh, you mean this? Just a little keepsake I wanted to hold on to. This, is precisely where you

come in my little transporter!" She smiles evilly at her, and Amber gasps, unable to comprehend how

wicked Carrie has become.

"I want you to bring me her body here. I need her to help me. In case my potion doesn't work, I can

just get more blood from her." Amber's eyebrows narrow. She's confused and doesn't understand why

Carrie would need the blood of a healer from the Phoenix clan.

"Ok, I don't understand Carrie. The last time we talked, you said you needed the blood from your

sister's daughter, the girl you stole from her. Then you said you needed the blood from her brother,

which you stole from your sister. . . Why did you steal them away from Artemis again?"

Carrie rolls her eyes and grunts. "For the last time! I stole Artemis twins because she pissed me

off. She and Selene were the ones that cast me out of the gods' realm. When I tried getting back in,

Artemis stopped me. She threatened to kill me next time I tried getting back in."

"But, I thought you were immortal? How can she kill you?" Amber's eyes squinted and her hand

gestured forward questionably.

"Well, she can. Ok! Look, it's hard to explain. Only a god can terminate another god. Unfortunately,

since they cast me out, I am no longer a goddess, but rather more like a deity. I'm immortal, but not a

goddess anymore ok. Now enough! Take the damn blood in your hands and do your thing, I need the

body of that girl here. NOW!" She pushes the small vile with blood against Amber's chest, making her

take a step back.

Amber holds the blood in her left hand and chants over it with her other hand circling over it whole

she chants.

Her eyes closed, a vivid light in blue and gold circling around her in a cloud of smoke. Her

humming and chanting gets louder and stronger as the cloud-like smoke thickens.

Before long, the smoke merges towards the ceiling of the underground hidden room where they

are and comes down quickly like lighting on top of the table where the heart is.

As the smoke fades, the figure of Emma's body is left in its place.
