Christopher's P.O.V

Rebecca stared at the vial in wonder. "How are you able to contain flames!?" My father laughed and said "Phoenix flames are magical. Though it is difficult to capture the flames. Being able to get a vial of these flames is very rare." After the explanation of how to get phoenix flames, Rebecca asked "What are they for?" I smiled and said "These help unlock, improve, and control your powers. All mythical creatures manage to unlock them over time, but some of them ingest these flames." "You're supposed to drink it!?" Rebecca screamed. "We all have!" Erica said. I nodded and Alex said "Well, except Silver. He was born a werewolf so he already controlled his powers."

"Werewolves are real!?" Rebecca asked. "Wow, you're loud!" my father said. "Though there is another reason why I'm here." I looked at my father in confusion. "These flames are flames of the Phoenix King." he said. Erica, Alexander, and I flinched. "He said that when his daughter drinks the flames, your all off bodyguard duty." my father said. "What!?" Alex yelled. "We have to leave Becca on her own..." Erica mumbled. "I'll give it to her, but there's a catch. We stay and train her in hand-to-hand combat, teach her the different creatures in this world, and talk to her about her kind." I said.

Don't forget you love her and you don't want to leave her!, said Alex's voice in the back of my head. Shut it!, I replied. Oh? The boss found his crush? Then I got to hurry up and meet her!, said Silver's voice. I was blushing and I was angry. Rebecca and my dad looked at me confused, while Erica and Alex smirked. Then my father sighed after finally figuring out what was happening. "Stop teasing him you two!" he yelled at the nymph and the other dragon. They paled and quickly nodded.

Rebecca's P.O.V

What's happening here? This is the second time Christopher stared of into space. "I'll agree to your terms son. See you all soon." Draco said, melting into shadow. After Draco left, Chris glared at Erica and Alex, who grew afriad. "Please don't hurt us!!" Erica yelled. "We're sorry for teasing you! Please don't kill us!" Alex screamed. "You're lucky I'm not using you both for target practice!" Chris said. They nodded.

Chris walked towards me and handed me the flames. "Drink. We all had to." he said, his emotion turning into a happy and innocent smile. "Really?" I asked. He nodded. "Will it hurt?" I said in a seductive tone. Alex and Erica stared at me like I was crazy, while Chris said "I forgot to tell you two this, but Rebecca has a different personality each day. Sometimes she's normal, sometimes she's like this." They still looked confused. Chris sighed and said "This won't hurt Becca."

I put on a pouty face, but took the vial. A cork was containing the flames and it was warm to the touch. I uncorked the vial and brought it to my lips. I leaned my head back, closed my eyes, and chugged the flames. After chugging the flames, I put my head back in place and looked at the trio. The room started to glow and they stared at me in awe. "Wow..." Alex mumbled. "Beautiful!" Erica yelled. "Ya..." Chris said.

I stared at them confused. They pointed at my arm. I looked down and my eyes widened. My arm was on fire, but I wasn't in pain. "Cool..." I mumbled. The fire started to go down and the room started to darken. After the fire was out, the end of the day bell rang. "I guess we start training you tomorrow!" Chris said, smiling.

"So how was your little walk with Alex?" I asked. I was home in my apartment, lying on my bed, on my phone, talking to Erica. "Good, but even if I want to go out with him, it will never happen..." Erica said, sadly. "Why not?" I asked. "Because he's a fucking handsome dragon and I'm an ugly nymph..." she said. "Listen, you're one of most beautiful girls I know, and if Alex can't see how beautiful you are, then he's blind!" I yelled.

"Thanks for cheering me up!" Erica said. "No prob!" I said. "Now, about you and Christopher..." she said. "Sorry! Got to go make dinner for myself! Bye!" I said, pressing the hang up button right after. I looked around my small apartment and grabbed a pillow. I stuffed my face in it and screamed. You dense idiot Chris!

Christopher's P.O.V

"So you and Erica, huh?" I asked. I was in my room, lying on my bed, waiting for my mom to finish dinner. I was on my phone, talking to Alex. "I wish! It would never even work out..." Alex said, depressed. I sighed and said "Why not?" "Because she's fricking beautiful and I'm fucking ugly!" He screamed. "I beg to differ. There's a reason why we're known as the Two Kings of St. Francis!"

"You did not just play the 'King' card!" he yelled. "I just did!" I yelled back, smirking. "Okay then. If you wanna be like that, you give me no choice! What about you and Rebecca?" Alex said. "Talk to you tomorrow." I said, hanging up. I laid back on my bed, stared at the cieling, and tgought about said girl. "Rebecca, you dense idiot..."
