Maya Heart: Sequel (Descendants 2)

Phoenix Pt.2

Maya's P.O.V

I sat up, coughing, gasping for air. It felt like I hadn't taken a breath in years.

My breathing became labored as I sat up, finally starting to force some air back into my lungs.

"W-What happened?" I asked looking around at all the people who just sat there and stared at me. It was starting to get creepy.

The last thing I remembered was....my mother.

My eyes became the size of saucers and I leapt to my feet, scanning all the faces until I could find hers. Fear filled my body in a second.

"W-Where is she?!" I stuttered, still having trouble catching my breath

No response.

I took a step forward and only then felt a swish at my legs. I looked down to see my self in a full length white gown, that was admittedly gorgeous, but definitely not my style.

"What the-" I said looking down at the fabric, touching it softly

"M-Maya?" My head snapped up to the voice

Carlos was looking at me with concerned eyes

"Carlos? What's happening? What's going on? Why is everyone looking at me? What th-" I was cut off by him rushing into my arms, and squeezing me so tight I thought I might just puke.

Well that could have been the sea sickness too.

"Oh my god May," He sobbed into my shoulder, it took me by surprise and I hesitated before returning the gesture

"I-I thought you were dead" My eyes widened at this

I released myself from his grasp so I could look him in the eyes "I DIED?!"

"Maya!" I guess this is when everyone decided to come out of there trance and rush over to me. I still had no idea what the fuck was going on.

Everyone all started talking at once and it was way too much for me to handle. I didn't even like crowds to begin with, but now all the attention was on me, and I was not having it.

"Guys." I tried once "Guys." Again "Guys!" Now I'm starting to get mad "GUYS!" Fire shot up around me as I started to yell, making everyone back away hurriedly

I was petrified.

I had to stay calm. I couldn't hurt someone. Not again.

"Mal, care to explain why fire is coming out of random body parts?" I said, my voice shaking

I choose my purple haired friend, because I thought she would be the best person to handle this situation...I thought wrong.

"Well, er- you kinda ummm...." Mal stuttered, forgetting how to talk

"Can anyone explain what happened?" I asked desperately hoping someone had some insight to what was going on

"The Phoenix"

My eyes flicked over to where the voice came from, but there was too many people to see who had said it.

"Who said that?" I said still looking over in that direction

The answer to that simple question shocked me.

"I did" There stood Gil, arms crossed over his chest, his dopey smile long gone

"Okay" I started, raising my eyebrows at him. He was as dumb as a rock "What does that mean?"

"It means that's what you are, a Phoenix" He explained now starting to take steps closer towards me
