The Pure One -✔- Book Two of the Phoenix Trilogy

Chapter 2 Angelic Genes

The defeaning sound of crushed bones was the initial trigger of her hell on heaven. The excruciating pain she felt after was beyond explanation. She was still alive. Although, it was one of the rare moments when Venus wished she died instead, but truth be told; luck was never on her side.

Just imagine an aligator gnashed its teeth on your middle body--mouth locked tightly--your spine and abdomen crushed together, then it made a death roll breaking the rest of your bones. It was the kind of pain that she had to hold her breath in and released air as slowly as she could for the tiniest passage of air to her lungs brought an extreme, tormenting agony a person could ever experience to endure.

One of Venus excellent quality was the strenght of will, she never gave up no matter what the circumstances she may have. However, this time was an exception for the affliction was unfathomable...She felt her life was fading away as her greatest regret flashed back unto her. It was true as they say; your life will flash right into your eyes the moment you were dying.

Venus had only one regret. It was the day when her mom died. She shouldn't had let her went to the grocery or better yet, she should had gone with her. At least that way--kidnapped or in death--they never were separated. Eversince she was younger, both her and her mom were always on the run or so she always knew deep inside, since her mom never told her the truth. She would just simply tell Venus that she was accepted for a better job someplace else. They never stayed in one place longer than a year; the very reason why Venus never had friends. How could anyone be able to when she had different schools annually.

It was only in that place where her mom got an accident that they were able to stay for almost two years. Looking back, Venus knew now that they shouldn't have stayed longer; maybe her mom would still be with her now. She never minded not having peers anyway but not having a mom was something Venus was never prepared of. She was her bestfriend...

Her reminiscing was cut short by a sharp cracking sound of bone! She was in her spirit form but how the hell did she feel every bit of it? Venus was delirium, the pain was unbearable. She was sure that if this was her physical body, she peed her undies already!

Crack! Heck! Forget about pee! Try crap! Oh God please! Make it stop! Venus pleaded for the first time to a God she barely knew but always believed.

Crack! Another bone snapped back into place. It vibrated throughout her body sending stabbing pain that took her breath away. She made a gurgling sound as her scream tried to escape on her lips but was met with blood that was oozing out of her mouth. Her tears and blood were mixed together in a pool of misery beneath her. The protruding crystal rocks on her back curved her body into an awkward angle.

Just hold on a little bit more, child. It is almost over, you're angelic gene is now activated. It is healing your spirit back... Be brave, little one... The melodic voice rang inside her brain.

You freaking son of a cow! Why you made me jump just like that and never warned me about this! I trusted you! You're supposed to be an angel! I'm supposed to be in heaven, not hell! Make it stoooopp!! Venus yelled back in her mind. She never realized the fact that she could move her jaw now as her gritting of teeth made a grinding noise.

If I did warn you... You wouldn't have jumped...

Crack! The last piece of the puzzle sounded as her spine was fixed. Her body jerked upwards then glowed.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Her shriek was ear splitting. It was crisp and clear. Just as the light diminished--a brand new Venus was revealed. Her eyes shot open; lavender orbs were sharper than before; white hair turned to golden locks that hung behind her back with no sign of the blood that flooded the crystal rocks earlier. Her gaze landed to the man who made her dive down the cliff. He stood few feet away from her, smiling like he never did her wrong...
