Chapter 56 Lineage of the Phoenix-3

Carrie claps her hands, jumping in place, and smiles. "Yes! That's how it's done, baby. Now go, I

no longer need you." She gestures Amber away and before Amber can protest, she makes her vanish

again. Sending her back to her infinite time in limbo, where she had sent her after killing her years

before this present day.

"Now! Let's see how good your Phoenix lineage is shall we? If I put your heart back in, and give

you a taste of blood from your own little heart of course because I certainly am not giving you my blood;

it should be enough to get you back to normal."

She grabs the heart off the box and glances at it carefully, the small thump of the heart is still

heard.

"Now, since technically, you are part vampire, you need a dead heart, so!" She glides her hand

over the heart, returning it to normal. The thumping of the heart stops again and she forcibly presses it

inside her chest.

Without hesitation, Emma jolts up after just a few minutes. Gasping for air. Her mouth is dry, and

her eyes are filled with tears; and though she tries to move, she realizes she is tied to a chair by her

feet and hands. Though other times, she could easily break the chains, she realizes they have an

enchantment, preventing her from breaking them.

She tries, again and again, to break free but to no avail. "No need for agitation darling. You'll need

your energy for what's coming." She turns, her eyes wide to the sound of Carrie's voice.

"Carrie!? Why? Why did you betray us? How could you do this to your own daughter?"

"Oh gosh up girl! I'm not the only one that had been keeping secrets now am I?" She grips Emma's

cheeks harshly and pushes her against the back of the chair.

"I don't understand Carrie! What do you want from me?" Emma's voice breaks, the tears freely

running down her cheeks.

"Oh save me the pity won't you? What I need from you is simple." She gets up, grabbing a small

knife and bringing it forth in front of Emma's face.

"I only need your blood, that's all." She cuts Emma slightly on her wrists, making the blood slowly

pour out and down to two small containers she had previously placed under Emma's sides.

"Why? What do you want from my blood?" Emma's voice was broken and on the verge to break

into tears again.

"Oh, naive child. It's not just your blood I need! You now carry the blood of five other wonderful Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

creatures in all existence. Do you know how powerful that blood running through that dead body of

yours is? You don't! Do you?"

She turns, grabbing a little of the blood with her finger and examining it with amazement in her

eyes.

"Oh, dear child! You are going to be my little helper from now on. So sit tight! We have a long long

time to working together. " She gets up walking away and opens the door to the room.

"And don't bother yelling. We are all alone in the middle of nowhere! No one will ever hear you, or

find you." She turns, winking at Emma and chuckling, closing the door with a harsh thud behind her.
