Rising Phoenix

[DarkPhoenix]

"I don't understand," Sara said pulling back from Desiree, and looking in a bag of herbs and potions. "Whatever she is under is more powerful, than anything I can whip up." Sara said, leafing through a small book of shadows that she carried on her. She never knew when it came in handy. "Can you guys tell me anything else about how this happened, the more information the better it can be to fix this."
Tony and Carmine both looked at eachother, Tony had left out his relation to Desiree, he hadn't known how to tell her. And even now he didn't want to tell her.
"She is my..." Tony began but Carmine cut him off, seeing how difficult it was for him to tell his wife.
"She is a friend of mine, umm...her parents were attacked and killed by demons. He came here to finish the job, he poisioned her with something." Carmine said quickly, glancing at his older brother.
"A friend?"Sara asked, glancing at Desiree. She eyed her for a moment, then looked back at Carmine. "I hope you don't mean special friend, she doesn't even look that old. Is she even 18, Carmine?"
"Wait, you think me and her. That's sick. She's my niece." Carmine blurted out before he could take it back. Sara's eyes widened at that, Tony looked toward the window and Carmine looked down.
"What do you mean she is your niece? Who's daughter is she?" Sara asked, looking down at Desiree, she stood up moving toward Tony. "Tony what is going on?" she glanced back at Carmine, he kept his head down not wanting to meet her eyes.
"She's mine." Tony said finally after a moment of silence.
"SHE"S YOUR DAUGHTER!" Sara said so loud that most of the 3rd floor could hear her.

__________

Desiree awoke to a voice, "Desiree. Desiree honey wake up." Desiree looked around trying to see where the voice had come from.
Desiree got up slowly, she had been lying on the floor in the kitchen, she ran her fingers thorugh her hair as she got up. She moved over to the kitchen door and tugged open the door. "God damn it." she muttered. "Think Desiree think." Ok, if this place was exactly like her old house than the training room would also be there as well.
_______________

"Sara please calm down." Tony said trying to get Sara to ease down. She had unknowingly caused some of the machinery to levitate with her telekinetic power. "Someone could walk in here any minute."
"I don't care about those people." Sara yelled, Carmine had closed the door but he was pretty sure that she was loud enough to be heard through the door. Carmine closed his eyes and begun muttering in latin, a concealment spell.
"Why didn't you tell me that you had a daughter? How could you lie to me like this?" Sara asked, not really caring for the answer.
"I didn't know about my daughter. Jade had kept her a secret." Tony said.
"He's telling the truth." Carmine had finished the spell.
"Yeah right, of course you would protect him. I can't believe you knew about this Carmine and you never said anything." Sara said,
"He didn't tell me either." Tony said, and quickly added before Sara turned her wrath on Carmine. "Jade cast a spell on him, he couldn't tell me or anybody anything about Desiree."
"Jade." Sara said, repeating the name. "This is the offspring of yours and Jade's daughter." Sara said, starting to calm down.
"I had no idea, I just found out this morning."Tony said, moving a little closer. He could see that the equipment that she had been levitating had begun to come down.
"Wait, does that mean she died?" Sara asked, remembering what Carmine had said earlier.
"Yes." Carmine said, starting to relax. At least he didn't need that protection spell that he had been trying to remember in his head.
"Oh." Sara said, she glanced down at Desiree and then back at Tony. She didn't exactly know what to say, she couldn't really be angry. Pissed, she could be pissed. But she couldn't be angry about it. And unfortunately that b!tch Jade was dead, she she couldn't be mad at her. She glanced down at Desiree, and being mad at this girl would be just ridiculous. She might not like this new addition to the family but she would accept it, for her family.

[DarkPhoenix]

Gailen walked down the corridor impatiently he hadn't expected her to wake up so quickly he didn't think he had been gone that long. He reached out with his senses letting it flow through the whole house, until he finally felt her prescence. He smiled as he clutched the dagger that Desmona gave him.

____________-

"This will be ok, I will handle this. I mean it's not like you cheated on me or anything." Sara paused, and looked down at Desiree. "How old is she?"
"She's..." Tony paused not knowing.
"She's 17, she'll be 18 in May or June." Carmine answered, Sara glanced at him. She was still not liking the fact that he had known about this and hadn't said anything.
"I'm not exactly sure what to do about this," Sara said, rubbing her head and sitting on the bed. "What did Elias say about this?"
"What do you mean?" Tony asked confused.
"You did consult him didn't you." Sara asked staring at him.
"Oh. No, I didn't even think about him." Tony said, mentally kicking himself for not thinking of it earlier.
"Elias." Sara called out, looking out toward the window. "Oh, the blinds."
"Concealment spell." Carmine answered, glancing out the window. People will pass by not even thinking about what was going on in the room.
Suddenly blue orbs filled the space, right next to door, taking the shape of a young man. "You called." Elias said, looking at his surroundings and then seeing Desiree on the bed he came forward. "Who is this?"
" A sister witch, maybe you could heal her or something. It seems she was magically induced into a coma or something." Sara described to Elias, as he put his hand over Desiree's head. "I tried a couple of spells out of the book and even some potions but I'm not sure what I am fighting." Elias closed his eyes and placed his hand at her head and her belly.
"Ok, something is wrong." Elias said, and then tried again. "There is a barrier over her body, something is keeping me from helping her."
"Well, how can we help her?" Tony asked.
"The only way we could probably help her is if you get the person to reverse the spell." Elias said, looking back at them all.
"What if the person is in there with her?" Carmine asked.
Elias was quiet for a moment thinking, "Then you better hope that she kills them before they kill her."

[CanadianHalliwell]

Fantastic. I love this story especially Desiree. Are we going to meet the Charmed Ones?

[DarkPhoenix]

( Oh thank god, someone else replied. I thought the only person who was reading my fanfic was Trojan and I....*No offense Trojan, you're still my number one fan* I do plan on including the Charmed Ones, they will be minor characters for the first story, since I want to focus on Desiree and her powers. But the charmed ones will be in it promise.)

"Desiree." A voice echoed across the room in a whisper, Desiree looked around. "Desiree you must kill this man. That is the only way you will be able to get out." Desiree frowned at the voice, it sounded familiar. Very familiar.
"Mother?" Desiree said in an awe of horror, "Mother is that you?" Her mother was dead, how could this be possible. She moved around the room wildly.
"This is no time for sentiments Desiree. You must kill Gailen otherwise he will kill you. Show no mercy to him." her mother's voice rang out through the room, Desiree thought about it for a moment. If this was right then her mother was telling her to kill a person, it did sound like her mother.
The door was suddenly knocked open and Gailen strode in the room, with a mischevious smile on his face. "So I see you woke up, and you ran..." he paused studying the room, his brows furrowed as he looked around.
The room had been essentially built so Desiree could practice self defense, on one side of the wall there was weapons, ranging from daggers and swords to guns. On the otherside practiced dummies were standing all against the wall.
"This isn't a normal room." Gailen commented looking around and sliding the dagger out that Desmona gave him. "Most people would have been trying to find a way out of this place, but you came here. Why? Did you think you would be able to stop me?" Gailen asked.
"As a matter of fact, the thought of killing you crossed my mind. Especially if that is the only way to get out of this place." Desiree still wasn't exactly sure if this was a dream or some weird of consciousness that she was in.
"Kill..me?" Gailen said threw laughter. "You. You're mortal. At least part of you." Gailen quickly became serious. "But there is no way. Ready to die?" Gailen asked playfully as he moved in toward her. He had to give the girl credit most people mortal or not would have cowered in fear of him, but Desiree stood her ground.
"I hope you are." Desiree said standing still and waiting for Gailen to come toward her.
They stood eyeing eachother for a moment, Gailen's hand shot out with the dagger aimed at her head, Desiree countered by bringing out the Sai blades that she had behind her back, and aiming one into his shoulder blade and then elbowing him across the face, making him stumble backward. She followed up with a roundhouse kick, making him stumble back a couple of steps.
"Well, looks like you are just full of surprises." Gailen said, and rushed toward her. Desiree did a leg sweep knocking him to the ground, she rolled out of arm and legs lengths. Gailen flipped back up slashed out, slicing part of Desiree's cheek.
"The only real surprise for you will be this," Desiree spun back around and did a kick landing right in Gailen's chest. She ran at him and followed up with two quick punches to the chest, and raised her hand to punch him again but he blocked and caught her hand. Using all his strength he threw Desiree sending her sailing across the room, she slammed into the wall hard on her right side and dropped the Sai blades.
Gailen strode over to Desiree and lifted her off the ground with one hand by her neck and aiming the dagger at her midsection. "Say goodbye baby." he whispered with a smile.
Desiree brought her elbow up, cracking Gailen's nose and with her other hand, she grabbed his hand with the dagger and twisted it back on him, stabbing himself with the dagger. "Goodbye baby." she moved back away from him as he sunk on the ground, she turned her head away from him, she didn't want to see the expression on his face, she wasn't ready for that.
Desiree glanced down at the body and he was gone, and slowly everything began to fade white.
__________
"Ok, she has a cut on her face." Tony said while bending over Desiree's body examing the cut.
"You can back up a little you know." Sara said, from behind Tony. Carmine and Elias were both backed up away from the bed.
"She must be fighting him." Elias commented.
"This guy might kill her, oh god." Tony said starting to panick.
"Desiree can handle it." Carmine said, reminiscing about a time that she had flipped him over when he had tried to sneak up on her.
"I'm not so sure, is that a bruise on her face." Tony said, starting to notice a bruise beginning to form on the right side of her face.
"Oh she is going to be pissed when she wakes up." Carmine said, noticing the bruise.
"There must be something we can do." Sara said, looking over at Elias.
"I'll check the elders." Elias said, getting ready to orb out but suddenly stopping in the process.
"What's wrong?" Sara asked, making Tony look up away from Desiree.
"I think it's over, I just felt it stop. Whatever was holding her has released her." Elias said.
"Well how come she isn't waking up," Tony said, looking back down at Desiree. Desiree eyes slowly began to open and adjust to the light, seeing Tony staring down at her.
"Can you please give me some space." she said weakly.

[CanadianHalliwell]

I'm glad that Desiree woke up. I can't wait to hear about her powers. And I'm sorry I thought I had replied to your stories before now.

[finalfantasy543]

[glow=blue,2,300]Hahaha, took me awhile, but I finally got to start reading it It's pretty tight so far, good job man. I like it, and I bet Trojan does too, as it is FULL of DRAMA, haha. Keep us posted, I'm just dying to see how Tony's kids react to Desiree hehe.



Edit~ Hehe, 5 Stars, and Two Thumbs WAY up, haha.[/glow]

[Assassin Witch]

You bet ya, Final. I LOVE this. Glad more people are reading this.


Ok...so, she's up! YAY! Sara wasn't that upset when she found out Desiree was Jade's. Lota drama! And I can't wait for the kids to find out either. Time to bring her home. *waits for DP's GREAT idea on it..hehe*

[DarkPhoenix]

Tony paced back and forth in the living room, staring out the window. He looked back at the clock, reading 7:30, it was getting late. Desiree and Carmine were supposed to be back 4 hours ago.
After Desiree woke up, she had kicked everybody out of the room. Desiree had needed time to think things over about what had just happened and if she had actually killed Gailen or not.
Tony was reluctant to leave and go home, but Sara had convinced him that there was nothing for him to do there if she didn't want him to be there. Overnight the police and Desiree's attorney's had decided that going and living with Tony's family was the best action that they could take. Sara and Tony had rearranged the the attic so that Desiree could be up there and have her own space, but they still hadn't told the children.
"They still haven't come?" Sara asked, walking into the living room. "You know dinner is starting to get cold and the kids are beginning to get restless. What did Carmine say when you called him?"
"That Desiree was still buying clothes, and that they would be here in a little while. That was hours ago though. Do you think something happened, maybe I should call again." Tony said.
"Calm down, we still have to worry about telling the kids. Besides if she went shopping it takes us girls a while to buy things. Besides she is going to have to buy a lot, with the fact that most of her clothes were destroyed in that explosion." Sara said, trying to calm her husband down. "But if we had known they were going to be so late, we might not have needed to use so much magic in the attic. I'm praying we don't have any backfires right now."
"God, I don't even know what we are going to tell the kids right now. I'd rather be at work right about now." Tony said, sullenly. Sara stared at him for a moment.
"Why would you say something like that." Sara said, looking at him disapprovingly.
"You know I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I just don't know which is worse, fighting evil or dealing with the kids when I tell them I have a daughter." Tony said, Sara breathed for a moment.
"You have an idea on what to tell them, because I only got to the part where we introduce Desiree, they will be shocked. Hopefully the will just accept it and not ask many questions." Sara said, while sitting down on the couch.
"I hope so." Tony said, not wanting to explain to his children the complicated situation. Tony watched his wife smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" Sara asked frowning at him.
"You." Tony said smiling at her. "You have been real good through all of this."
"What can I say, I'm perfect." Sara said grinning at Tony.
"God I love you." Tony said coming toward her. Sara smiled at him and stood as soon as she did her smile vanished. "What's wrong?" Sara moved past him toward the window. Tony turned around and looked out the window, both stared out in horror.
Two police officers escorted Desiree in handcuffs toward their house. Desiree was shaking her head rolling her eyes and Carmine was walking behind with a smile on his face.
"ok, what the hell did she do?" Sara asked, moving toward the front door of the house.

[Assassin Witch]

lol! She ruined a nice romantic moment for them. Aww. Can't wait for the kids to find out.

[jade]

Great Job!

Jade

[finalfantasy543]

[glow=blue,2,300]LOL come on man, update. What happened?[/glow]

[DarkPhoenix]

"Police are bringing some girl here," Daniella said loudly from the top of the stairs, making both Sara and Tony look at her.
" Police!" Nick exclaimed from all the way in the other room, Tony and Sara both looked over to where they heard him. Nick had been in the kitchen and he stopped and looked out of the window. Adam came running right behind Nick. "Woah, hottie in handcuffs." Tony frowned at the comment and Sara pulled open the door.
"The police are bringing a prisoner here." Adam said, peeking out the window.
Standing right across the family was Desiree standing in handcuffs, in the middle of two uniformed policemen. One of the policemen had been about to push the doorbell.
"Are you Tony Cassella?" the older of the two policemen asked, Sara glanced at her husband. Daniella rushed down the stairs and Nick smiled at Desiree.
"Yes, that's me." Tony said slowly. "I'm confused on what is going on?" Tony glanced behind and saw his younger brother smirking, making him more confused.
"Uncle Carmine, what are you doing here?" Daniella asked, seeing her uncle.
"Uncle Carmine? Where? I don't see him." Adam said, from below all of them. Making everybody look down at him, making the boy feel smaller than he already was.
"That's because you are to short." Nick said, and then he picked up Adam and placed him on his shoulders.
"Uncle Carmine!" Adam waved enthusiastically. Tony rubbed his head and Sara was beginning to get angry.
"Children?!" Sara said, getting agitated at all of them. "I'm sorry, Officers go ahead."
"Well, ma'am and sir. There was a bit of an altercation at 'Carrie's Boutique'." the older officer said, Tony looked down at his name tag that read Boule. "It seems this young lady here gotten into a bit of a fight with another young lady there."
"It was not a fight. Gosh Michael, how many times do I have to tell you. I wanted the shirt and then she wanted the shirt, then she snatched it out of my hand and that's when I might have pushed her." Desiree said, shrugging. "But she provoked me."
"You pushed her into a clothing rack and her and the rack went down." the younger officer said, looking down at Desiree.
"Yeah well, she provoked me." Desiree said, she paused for a moment and it looked like she was going to say something else but then her hands came up from behind holding handcuffs with them. Officer Marcott, the yonger officer, smiled at Desiree. "Told ya I could do it."
"So you win the bet. Ok, I guess this one doesn't go on the record." Officer Marcott said to Boule. "But she is banned from going to 'Carrie's Boutique.' " Tony and Sara blinked in utter confusion.
"So she is just free to go?" Sara asked, trying to figure out if she was understanding everything right.
"I know this seems a bit, "Officer Boule tried to think of the word. " unprocedure like. But it was a minor offense. I just don't want to have to come pick her up from anymore stores."
"So that is it?" Tony asked.
"Yeah, as long as you are her father, then I see no reason to keep her that long." Officer Boule said, and Marcott nodded in agreement.
"Father?!" Nick and Daniella exclaimed in unison.
"It wasn't suppose to come out like this." Sara whispered to Tony as she looked back at her children.
"Their gonna be pissed." Tony said.

[finalfantasy543]

[glow=blue,2,300]! I love this fanfic! Hehe, and I love Desiree Dude, moooooooooore![/glow]

[Assassin Witch]

LOL! Nice way to find out about their halfsister. And I love the cop. Desiree won the bet so she's clear. NICE.

[DarkPhoenix]

"I still don't understand how you got out of those handcuffs?" Carmine asked, Desiree as they sat on the couch in the living room. Tony and Sara had taken the others into the kitchen to explain Desiree's prescence.

"I'm double jointed." Desiree said, as she read a text message sent from her friend, which read: Come back quick, Sheila is moving in on hwb. "I'm going to have to hurt somebody." Desiree muttered to herself, Sheila was a rival from her highschool. Sheila had been trying to get with Sean, the guy Desiree was currently dating. Desiree would have to solve this problem and do it quickly. Of course, she didn't think she was going to be going back home any time soon.

"What does HWB stand for?" Carmine asked, leaning over her.

"Hottie with body." Desiree pushed him back, with one hand and closed her cell phone with the other. " Don't be nosy. What the hell is taking them so long in there?" Desiree asked, starting to get impatient.

"It's probably not an easy thing to explain that they have a step-sister and that she is going to be living with them." Carmine said, while stretching on the couch.

"I guess," Desiree said, while walking over to the fireplace, she looked at the mantle and saw many pictures in frames all across. She surveyed the living room, calculating some of the value of the furniture and home interior.

"I still can't believe that you got in a fight over a t-shirt." Carmine said in disbelief from the couch. He watched Desiree, as she moved around the living room. For a moment, he didn't understand what she was doing, but then he realized that Jade did the same thing. She had been analyzing and calculating every little thing.

"It was a tank top, and it would have made certain aspects of my body." Desiree said, running her fingers though her hair. "Besides that biatch started it." Desiree had a very open relationship with her Uncle Carmine, she could say anything in fron of him without him getting all parent like.

"Yeah well, today was fun. It was the first and last day I go out shopping with you. Hell, we were supposed to be back here like 3 or 4 hours ago. And now I am hungry." Carmine said bitterly.

"Boy you loved it." Desiree said, picking up a picure of the Cassella family. "Besides I got you like 5 different numbers." Making Carmine grin.

"Yeah that was about the only good part." Carmine said joyfully.

"Who is this girl?" Desiree said, pointing Terry out in the picture. "I didn't see her before."

"That is...your sister." Carmine said slowly, now wondering where Terry was. "She must be out somewhere, I think she might be at work."

"Work? They have jobs. I mean the teenagers" Desiree said shockingly. "Well, I guess it would make sense." she said, looking around the room. By the looks of things it didn't look like they had that much money."What do Tony and his wife, Stacy do?" Desiree asked, for a moment Carmine was confused on who Stacy was. Then he realized that she meant Sara.

Carmine paused for a moment, thinking of how to answer the question. "Umm...well Sara has a little store, that sells..uh..." Carmine hesistated not knowing how to say that Sara owned a Wicca shop, especially to Desiree, who didn't know anything about the wiccan religion. "bookstore with other stuff. And then Tony..." Sara's wasn't that hard to explain compared to what Tony did. "He is a uh...sales...representative...travelling..." Desiree frowned at him, trying to make sense of what Carmine was said.
"What?" Desiree asked confused.

"An advertising agent." Carmine was finally able to say. "Yeah, and he is always on the road."

"Oh well, that won't be anything different." Desiree said, thinking about both of her parents always leaving at home alone. She had spent a lot of lonely nights with just her and the staff. Of course some of those nights she had thrown parties, and she jsut paid the staff for keeping it secret.

"Well, he's not gone all of the time." Carmine said, sensing some of what Desiree was feeling. "But sometimes he does have to go away on business."

Desiree was just about to say something else, but they heard the front door open and then slam shut. Terry started walking right up the stairs, but paused and looked down at Carmine and Desiree. "Hey Uncle Carmine." her eyes shifted over to Desiree, and for a moment they stared at eachother. "Hi." she said. "New girlfriend Uncle Carmine?"

"God no." Desiree blurted out. She glanced over at Carmine.

"What do you mean 'God no.' I would like you to know that many women find me irresistible." Carmine said, trying to defend himself against the insult.

"Wait, if she isn't with you then who are you?" Terry asked, making Desiree turn back toward her.

"You're sister." Desiree said bluntly, making Terry stare at her shocked.


(Ok, tell me what you think of the way I spaced it out. I was trying it out. )

(Would also like comments on the story )

[CanadianHalliwell]

I really like how the story is progressing. I can't wait when Desiree finds out about her powers. I prefer the spacing. It makes it easier to see who's talking.

[DarkPhoenix]

"What?!" Terry said, in disbelief looking Desiree over. "Sister?!" Terry said, incredulously, "Who the hell are you?"

"You're sister." Desiree smiled at her, not really caring about how she told Terry. She wanted to get this done and over with, quickly. Patience was not a thing that Desiree ever had.

Terry shook her head in disbelief looking at Desiree. "You're lying." Terry said, she looked over to her uncle. "Uncle Carmine, she isn't telling the truth is she?"

"Damn it, Desiree." Carmine said, to his niece. Then he looked over at the one, standing on the stairway. The shock on her face was saddening." You're parents were supposed to tell you. I'm sorry."

"What?!" Terry said, she quickly moved down the stairs, and looked Desiree up and down for a moment. "My sister?" she frowned looking at Desiree. "But she's black." Desiree rolled her eyes at the comment, and then realized that Terry had a point.

"Oh god, i'm mixed." Desiree said more to herself than anybody else, just realizing that Tony was Italian. Which made her half Italian. "That would explain some things."

"Dad!" Terry shouted from the living room, rubbing her forehead. This new found discovery was beginning to give her a headache.

"Terr." Tony rushed in from the kitchen followed by Sara and the others. "What's wrong?" he looked over at Desiree and Carmine.

"Who is this girl? She says she is my sister. What the hell is she talking about? She can't be my sister and Uncle Carmine agrees with her and..." she couldn't speak anymore looking over at Desiree.

Tony looked over at Carmine, who just shook his head. "Sweetie--" Tony began saying.

"Don't you sweetie me, just tell me the truth." Terry said, somehow the way she said it made Desiree want to smile, she could like this girl.

"Yes, she is my daughter." Tony said, looking between Terry and Desiree.

"Why do you have to say it like that?" Desiree asked, making everybody look at her. "It's not like I'm a burden or something."

"I didn't mean it like that." Tony said, looking at Desiree.

"Is it because of the whole police thing earlier, because i thought you guys were ok with that, besides I didn't even get charged with anything." Desiree said, staring at Tony.

"Police?" Terry confused, looking around at the others.

Tony could see that the situation was beginning to get out of hand, he looked over at his wife. Sara could see the anger and the anxiety beginning to build up, it was only a matter of time before the children accidently used their powers because of their emotions. Sara whispered the words:
[glow=red,2,300]equus sedo aequus quislibet[/glow]

Suddenly, a feeling of calm flowed through everyone, and Sara took it upon herself to explain everything, without letting things get out of hand.

[Assassin Witch]

OMG! The scene between Desiree and Terry, that was classic.

"Oh god, i'm mixed." Desiree said more to herself than anybody else, just realizing that Tony was Italian. Which made her half Italian. "That would explain some things."

That was hilarious^.

And Carmine trying to explain what Tony and Sara did..lol

And spaces are better, DP.

[finalfantasy543]

[glow=blue,2,300]Hahaha, nice. The story is pretty good so far. What powers does everyone have though? Or are you going to incorporate that into the story? Either way, it's great. Spacing seems to work better for everyone else, dosn't matter to me.[/glow]

[DarkPhoenix]

"How dare you do this to me, you're own Father?!" the old man gasped, as he took slow gulps of air, while lying on his death bed. He had one hand, clutching his heart and the other gripping the bed sheets. He felt as if at any moment, his hurt would burst. The old man's eyes narrowed up at his attacker, his own son. "Mochi Rae--" he began to chant but he was quickly silenced by the blade of a dagger pressing into his neck.

Cyre kept the blade at his father's neck staring down at him, "I'm sorry father but this is how it has to be." Cyre said, with a devilish smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "It is time for a change, kicking out the old or in this case killing the old, and in with the new and improved."

"So you betray your own father, the king. You are weak. You couldn't challenge me to a fight for the throne," the king began coughing, a bit of blood coming from the corners of his mouth. "Do you think you are just going to become king, when I am gone? Have you forgotten about your mother, she will never relinquish her title."

"She won't have a choice if she is dead." Desmona said, strutting into the room. King Arabolis' eyes widened at the sight of his daughter. "Don't look so surprise, you knew the day would come."

"My two children turn against me," King Arabolis' closed his eyes for a moment, trying to get past the treachery that had been commited against him. "This is a sad dady when a man can't trust his children, but it is even a sadder day when I would be outsmarted by the two of you." Cyre and Desmona stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out what he meant.

"What are you saying old man?" Cyre questioned, pushing the dagger into his neck a little more.

"I didn't become king, from my dominance over others. You have to have to be intelligent to run the kingdom, and..." King Arabolis began coughing again, "that is the thing neither of you ever had. But your sister does."

This brought a smile to Desmona's face, "She's dead. In the ground." Desmona had a triumphant smile on her face.

"Did you think you're assassins, could take out my Jade. Are you really that stupid?" Desmona stopped smiling, and both her Cyre stared at the old man.

"She's dead." Cyre said, looking over at his younger sisiter. "Right?"

"Of course she is." Desmona said, blinking at the old man, trying to figure out if this man was playing a game with them.

"You're sister, is very much alive and very angry." King Arabolis said, loving the look of horror on his children's faces. "You must forget what her symbol is, she is the Phoenix. Strike her down, and she will rise more powerful than the first time. Her vengeance will destroy the both of you." the King said with a fierce intensity that made both Cyre and Desmona begin to get a little afraid. "My granddaughter has come into her power, I felt it a two nights ago. Her power will make both of you weep in shame, at your powers."

"You stupid old man, I am not afraid of a little girl. You just said it yourself. She just came into her power. A couple of more assassins, and she won't be a threat to the throne." Desmona said, beginning to get angry. Cyre stood idly by, not knowing what to say.

The king began to laugh, he could see the unease in both of them. "Yes you both should be afraid, of the events that you put into motion. Ce'lina will have you're head on a sticks, children or no children. You have commited a crime against the family."

"Mother will be to concerned with other things, than to worry about what has happened." Cyre said, speaking up. "We have initiated a bit of a..." he paused finding the right word. "war with another royal house. She will be so busy with that, and the loss of you that she might just get killed off in the process."

"What you foolish children don't seem to get is that, even if your mother was to die. And I laugh at the thought, of you two or anybody else fighting against her. And winning. The next heir to the throne is neither one of you nor Jade for that matter." The king said, he could feel his heart beginning to fail. The life was sucking right out of him.

"What do you mean?" Desmona said, she hadn't planned on this happening. She looked over at Cyre the same time he looked at her. "If neither one of us, nor Jade then who, only blood can inhabit the throne, and we have made sure there are no more relatives to get in our way." Desmona said, gaining back some of her confidence but as soon as she had it, she suddenly lost it when she figured what the old man might do.

The king smiled with wisdom. " I think you figured out, who will be the next heir to the throne, after me and your mother."

"Nobody will accept it, she isn't even full Sidhe. They will revolt." Desmona said, shooting daggers at her father.

"They will accept, what is." King Arabis, answered, slowly the life drained out of him. The King stared at the both of them coldly, those piercing silver eyes staring at them.

Cyre stared at the old man a moment longer, before he raised his hand, and waved it in front of the old man's face. There was no flicker of movement in him. "He's dead." Cyre said, getting ready to touch his body. Desmona pulled him back.

"No, we can not touch him. It is risky enough that we are in this room, let's go. Mother will be here any minute, when she feels his spirit being pulled away.Before we get caught." Desmona said, pulling her brother.

"Wait, I don't uderstand something." Cyre said, stopping Desmona at the door, "Who's the next heir?"

"Hold on," Desmona turned back into the room, forgetting something fundamental about the plan. She took a step forward.

The air shifted in the room, as a portal pulled right in front of them. A figure appeared right in front of the portal, "You summoned me." an elf said, looking confused as to where he was. He glanced over at the bed, seeing the fallen king. Then he looked back at Desmona and Cyre. "What is going on?"

"You're death." Desmona said, smiling coldly at the elf. Elf reached for a weapon in his pocket, but Desmona reached her hand out and reached her hand out, shooting an electric bolt at him. The elf went sailing back, and lay dead against the wall. Desmona waved her hand, and a vile of poison appeared next to the King's drink."That is the only good thing dad gave me. Handy to have the same power. Now they will think it was an assassination attempt involving the elves." Desmona waved her hand, and a vile of poison appeared next to the King's drink. Desmona moved back toward the door, but Cyre blocked her path. "What?"

"The heir? Who is the heir?" Cyre said, confused.

"Oh my god, Desiree. That half-blood b!tch, will be the heir to the Seelie throne if we don't have her killed first." Desmona said, rushing past Cyre.
