Phoenix

Its eyes are blue and shine like sapphires. After death it rises gloriously from the ashes and flies away. Some myths say it never eats while others say it eats only fresh morning dew as to never harm another living being.

“I’ll teach you how to play. It’s called Go Fish. Have you ever heard of it?”

“I think so. But I never played.” It was easier to talk to Parrish than it was to talk to some of the others. Micah folded his legs to sit cross-legged and rested his hands in his lap.

“Okay, so in every deck, there are 4 ‘suits’, which basically are four patterns. However, those don’t matter in this game, so don’t let them confuse you. All that matter are the numbers.” He took out 4 cards. “These are the king, queen, jack, and ace. They look a little different depending on the suit, but all that matters is their title. You with me so far?”

[phccnix-blog]

Micah just nodded quietly, looking at the cards and suits. “Yeah.” He was able to follow so far pretty easily. “So, where does the fishing come in?”

“I’ll teach you how to play. This one’s real simple. It’s called Go Fish. Have you ever heard of it?”

Go Fish was the easiest game he could think of. Unfortunately it also involved asking someone for their cards every round, but hopefully Micah could handle that.

“I think so. But I never played.” It was easier to talk to Parrish than it was to talk to some of the others. Micah folded his legs to sit cross-legged and rested his hands in his lap.

“I couldn’t even get close to him. I tried, and I got a first degree burn. Wasn’t even touching him! It was really scary, but thankfully Jojo is heat-resistant himself. He can’t get as hot as Micah can, but he could withstand that, at least. Were any of you around with Jojo found out he was supernatural? Or started stealing bodies?”

“I think that’s when I met him.” Micah said, his head tilting a little as he thought about it. “I was walking home and this guy offered me a ride, but I said no, then Jordan pulled up.”

“Hey little boy, you want some candy?” Caden joked with a voice one would expect a creep in a van to use, prompting a laugh from Matthew and some of the people in the audience. “Did the shit-stains that raised you to that point even teach you stranger danger?”

“Yeah, that’s why I said no.” Micah answered.

“I knew him back then. But I just knew him as the friendly cop that didn’t think I was gonna jump off the roof.” Conor answered, chuckling a little bit at Caden’s joke. “I didn’t know he was supernatural until after that though.

“I’m glad he stopped by. He’s a good guy.” Parrish sat down and began tearing the plastic wrap off the package. “I’ve got some card games. Figured I’d start with the regular pack of cards since they’re the most versatile. You ever play any card games?”

Carefully Micah shifted positions so he could sit upright to play, though he shook his head at the question. “Not really. I didn’t really have free time.” His mom and step-dad had kept him busy, the only real ‘free time’ he had was usually spent out of the house just walking through the woods or sleeping. Though, he spent a fair amount of the time he should be sleeping writing in his notebooks. Micah was far from social and didn’t really have friends apart from people he’d met since being admitted to the hospital.

Em listened to Conor’s speech, and it wasn’t until he asked if they had anything to add that Em realized that xe was wiping xer eyes. The actor smiled and shook xer head.

“No. That’s… that’s perfect. God, though, I completely forgot about the Nemeton’s fuckery. I kinda miss the days when that was the biggest worry we had. Anybody else remember that time, or was that a fever dream?”

[phccnix-blog]

"I remember that, but do you remember when I got the flu after that one time I died?” Micah turned to Matthew and Caden. “You guys weren’t here yet, but turns out when you’re a phoenix sometimes your body realizes you can get really hot when you get a fever after resurrecting the first time.”

Caden made a face, and Micah nodded. “So basically my body was heating up a lot faster than my brain could keep up with. You remember that Em?”

Parrish had immediately felt drawn to Micah. Something inside him had clicked- like they were meant to be family. Not that he could really do much about it now, but after the case was over, maybe…

He had come in today with a deck of cards and a big smile.

“Heya, Buddy! How’re you feeling today?”

“Pretty good.” Micah answered with a smile of his own. “You missed Scott, he was here earlier to pick up my homework.” And Scott probably helped him out with some of it too to be honest. Micah liked Scott, he was nice. And since his mom worked there he already had reason to be there so it wasn’t like Scott was going too far out of his way to help out.

“What do you have?”

@imworthfivedollars

He had started the fire in the basement. Tired of his wife and his stupid step-son, Everett Earl Lewis had decided to just get rid of them and leave town. He’d waited until it was late, late enough that the boy and bitch were asleep, and crept down to the basement where the boy slept on the old mattress. He carefully poured the accelerant, laid some rags, rearranged some of the lighter boxes, and ascended the stairs. He stopped at the top, producing a lighter from his jeans pocket and lighting it.

He regretted nothing as he dropped it down into the small nest he had made. Maura had had a few too many so he knew she wouldn’t get up in time, and with the fire started near him he was sure the boy wouldn’t either. Him? He walked out without a care in the world.

Micah was glad he didn’t remember that night. He was doing a lot better than he was the night of the fire, he’d even kinda-sorta made friends with someone who was stopping by on a regular basis to make sure he was okay and keeping up with school. Beacon Hills was a bit too used to students being hospitalized and had allowed Micah some slack but still expected him to at least turn some assignments in.

He always felt physically better when the senior was there, but he always waited for one specific visitor. A deputy that had sat with him the first moment Micah was allowed visitors. And sure, it’d been mainly to talk about what happened, but the deputy seemed so nice. The deputy had been patient whenever Micah had gotten too anxious to continue talking about the abuse (discovered once he’d been cleaned up at the hospital) he’d been through and the subsequent attempt on his life. Micah even perked up a bit when seeing him appear in the doorway to his room.

“You’re here!”

@imworthfivedollars

When Micah had heard that someone was coming to pick him up, he’d thought it was either Lynn or Parrish. He’d gathered up his things asked the teacher about homework, and headed off to the office. But, it wasn’t one of them. They were deputies Micah didn’t immediately recognize who ushered the boy out to their car outside. They’d even cuffed him, which Micah had protested seeing as he wouldn’t fight even if they were to put a gun in his face.

Micah had never been to Eichen House. But some part of him knew exactly what they were planning on doing. He’d overheard Parrish on the phone and knew about the cell meant to hold a hellhound. That told Micah they knew he was some sort of fire user. But, they didn’t know Micah’s flames were hotter. They didn’t know that while Parrish burned a bright red and orange, Micah burned blue. 

Not that it mattered much in the end. The cuffs were removed once Micah was in front of the cell, a deputy on either side of him with hands on his arms to keep him from trying to make a run for it. His eyes locked onto Parrish in the cell, the door was opened and the boy was shoved inside. Micah didn’t even think, simply acted. He raced to Parrish’s side and wrapped an arm around the back of his shoulders. “It’s gonna be okay, I promise.” The cell was cold, but Micah was hotter. If he could warm Parrish up, even a bit, he was sure Parrish would be okay. 

The cell was meant for a hellhound, not a phoenix.

Micah could barely believe how their lives had changed over the years. They were all working towards, or accomplishing, their career goals and once a week they were making a point of getting onto a group call to make a podcast.

They were even doing some live shows, including a very special one they had been meaning to do for a long time. The table was set up, the house lights were down and stage lights up, there was a sea of faces looking at them. They didn’t have a script, they never did, so Micah was a bit surprised when he saw Conor stand with a mic once it was time for the show to start.

He cleared his throat, licked his lips, and Micah couldn’t help but notice Conor had started to rub his surgical scar from nerves. But still, his friend spoke clearly and with certainty.

"First and foremost, we want to say thank you to the town of Beacon Hills. We've all had our ups and downs here, but after the worst guidance counselor in the history of the universe, this town came together in ways none of us could have ever dreamed of. When we first moved here I didn't want to be here. I wanted to move back 'home' where I had friends and felt like a normal kid. But I met my friends, the friends who helped me through some of the worst times in my life and I am honored to say I feel I've helped them as well. We've survived a nemeton trying to take one of us. We've survived someone trying to rob us of the heart and soul of our group. We've survived post traumatic stress and new traumas. We've survived persecution and fear itself. And I don't think we could have done it if it wasn't for Beacon Hills. We may not have all been born here but I know I speak for all of us when I say that this is our home. Even if we don't all physically live here anymore, Beacon Hills will always be our home. We'd like to thank you for being the thing that brought us all together, made us stronger, and made us feel welcome. Did you guys have anything you’d like to add?"

Conor had looked towards his friends after speaking, his face asking the same question his words had. After a moment of silence, Micah leaned into the mic. “No, I think you’ve just about got it covered.”

bemamar:

“Come ooonn, I’m really hungry! You’re the one supposed to feed me.”

“Do you ever think what it’d be like if we had the same marks? If it were you and me?”

“Do you love me? And not because you’re supposed to.”

“Do you think I’ll ever find it? The one with a mark on their arm saying they have to be with me?”

“Do you think there’s more than one? More than one soulmate for each one?”

“Do you think sex with a soulmate could ever be better than this? Because I doubt it.”

“Get out of work? Just tell them your soulmate needs you.”

“God, I love you so much. I know what I said before, but you’re everything I think about, everything I want, I don’t wanna turn my back on this. I don’t care what a piece of paper says or doesn’t. I’d still want this, you, if it didn’t say a thing.”

“Hell, no! You get that erased right now! It’s not me!”

“I can’t believe you’re it. From all the people- You can’t be. I hate you.”

“I got your letter. I know we never talked before, but you sent your number and… Do you think we can meet? And yes, it’s your name too.”

“I know I always say I don’t want to know, I don’t want to get it, the marker, but knowing for sure there’s someone out there for you, no matter what… I can’t say it isn’t tempting.”

“I know you’re horny. I can literally feel it. And it’s not helping me focus at all. So can’t you deal with it?”

“I know neither of us have markers, but I’m pretty sure they’d be glowing right now if we did.”

“I know this is not ideal, but I’m willing to try if you are.”

“I know you’re scared, I’m fucking scared too, but this says we got each other for life, that’s gotta be worth something, right?”

“I thought I’d never find you. Are you scared?”

“I’m scared as hell. But I still want to go through with it, I want to be able to prove it to anyone, let’s do this, let’s get the markers.”

“If I knew sex could be this amazing, I would have searched the name a long time ago.”

“If someone had warned me I would end up here… I would still have chosen you. I’ll always choose you.”

“It’s me…? Hell, it’s me. It really is me. You’re ruined.”

“Look at it! Don’t turn away. Can you see it? It’s a perfect match. I’m sorry if it sucks that it’s me. But it’s true. You can’t run from this.”

“No! No, it can’t be! That’s not-, no that’s not it… [Name] I can’t be your name… It’s not possible because… You’re not mine.”

“Our chests might not glow, but I would do anything for you, I’d go anywhere, I love you, and if that’s not soulmate material, than I don’t want to find my soulmate.”

“Okay, name one time pretending to be soulmates got us in trouble.”

“Please don’t ask me to leave. I want you so much it hurts. I never thought it could feel like this.”

“Promise me, promise me you’ll give us a chance before you go and get your mark done. Promise me.”

“So what? Just because a thing on my wrist glows I’m suddenly supposed to rebuild my whole life around you? Please. You’re fucking insane. This is fucking insane. Get the hell out.”

“This is just too hard. This soulmate thing. I know they say I’m your only chance. But I can’t do this. I’m sorry. You’re gonna have to find another way. I can’t be your soulmate.”

“We have to talk… I’ve met him/her. I’ve met the one. I can’t do this, I can’t marry you tomorrow.”

“We’re done. Mark or not mark. We’re done here. Don’t call me.”

“What if it never happens to me? Do you ever get scared about it?”

“What’s wrong?? I could feel in how much pain you were just now. God, I’m still shaking.”

“Why don’t you ever let me see it? If you have the name already, why can’t you tell me whose is it? I thought we were best friends.”

“Yes, I’m still scared! What if this is just a mistake? What if it passes someday and you don’t love me for me? What will be left then?”

“Yes, we’re soulmates! I get it, now shut up and fuck me, because I’m pretty sure it’s one of your duties.”

“You know, for someone who’s supposed to be my soulmate, you really need a new wardrobe. Or a new whole taste.”

“You know sometimes, some people, they don’t ever find a match, right? Do you still want to know?”

“You’re it okay?? I don’t know how, I don’t know why, all I know is that you’re the only one that will do, it hurts like goddamn hell, and I don’t-I just need you to let me in, please.”

“You’re my soulmate, I don’t need something telling me that.”

“(Name)? We need to talk… There’s something I have to tell you. Or show you, I guess. Please don’t be mad. I would have never- I’m sorry. But it’s your name. It’s you.”
