   Legend of the Fire Bird
Chapter 1:
Rule Number 3

Derek was returning to a small town, which he lived, to get back to his girlfriend, Amy. He had a big smile on his face and a million thoughts running through his mind.
Today's the day. He thought as he ran a hand through his silky red hair.
When Derek entered the town, he didn't see andyone for blocks. Until he came near Amy's house. It seeed most of the men from the town were there. They had guns, bat, and clubs.
“What’s going on here?” Derek asked, looking about the people.
“guess what Amy told us.” One man responded. He has black hair and a slim figure. "Right when she found out she told us.” Derek’s eyes went wide. He looked past the people to Amy’s house. A girl with long brown hair and blue eyes has looking at him with a blank face from her door. A tear formed in her eye and raced down her cheek. Finally she closed he door with little sadness shown on her face.
“And you people want to kill me to take my powers, right?” Derek looked back at the black haired man.
“You got that right bird boy.” He smiled with greed.
“Plus you think I’m to much of a threat to you and this town now?” Derek lifted a hand to run it through is hair again. Everyone seemed to flinch. Derek laughed and put his hand on his hip. (which is strange considering he has a girlish figure.) “Now,” He flipped his hair out of his face. “Let’s see if you all have what it takes to kill me.”
With that, Derek kicked the bat out of the black haired guys hands and hit the man next to him with it. Then the man that had the bat. Everyone ran at Derek, their arms flailing with the weapons they carried. Someone hit him in the shin with a crowbar. Then someone else gave an up ward punch to Derek’s chin. Then to his stomach. Derek snapped his neck and threw him at four guys who then fell backward on their butts.
Finally, someone fired a gun. Right above Derek’s bottom rid which began to bleed.
Derek grew angrier then he’d ever been when he touched the blood. His once emerald green eyes turned golden yellow. Two lumps bulged out of his back. They tore through his shirt and grew into a pear of crimson wings. The wings knocked people several feet from Derek’s back.
Another bullet pierced Derek’s left wing. Derek dropped the bat and a flame grew in his hand. He threw in at the first man he seen with a gun. It hit the gun and the man dropped it. The flame heated up the bullets inside. Then the bullets burst. One flew up and broke through the man’s chin and up into his brain. Some of the other bullets hit men in their thighs, arms, and necks.
Oh good God! What have I done?! Amy thought while she curled in a corner of her house. Tears rapidly ran down her hot, pink cheeks. Amy jumped at the sound of a gunshot. I didn’t mean for all this to happen! I should have known. People are to selfish!
“Dammit!” Derek yelled after a man smashed his right elbow with a crowbar. Then a couple more times before Derek spread fire over his hand, grabbed the guy’s face and kicked someone in the stomach with the point of his foot and made the person throw up. The man Derek held on to was screaming in pain.
While Derek’s one good arm was occupied , a blonde guy with shoulder length hair jumped on Derek’s back. His arm wrapped tightly around Derek’s neck. He pulled out a large knife and began to cut off Derek’s left wing with the bullet hole.
Derek couldn’t stand the pain any longer. He let go of the man he had given third degree burns and killed. The blonde felt a hand grab his shoulder so he held onto Derek’s wing he’d been cutting. Derek ripped the kid off of his back along with his beloved , blood covered, wing.
“Fuck!!” Derek shouted at the pain.
In Amy’s house and in the other’s houses, women and children of all ages where crying and whimpering under their blanket on their beds.
Derek let out a yell that sounded more like a screech when someone cut him deeply in the shoulder.
“You bastard! I’ll kill you!” Derek threw the guy onto the ground and stomped once on his head. “That’s it! I’m sick of you all!” Derek felt two types of fire burning inside of him. One would possibly kill him and the other would save him.
A swirl of fire circled Derek’s arm. He jumped up and off of someone’s back, out of the mob. He continued to run as fast as he could with a limp. The remaining me followed.
Good. Be like a bunch of stupid lamb and follow me. Derek thought as he ram, holding his right arm.
After getting a block out of the city, Derek stopped. His eyes had a fiery look in them. The others stopped out of curiosity but stayed ready to fight.
“Now. This will either kill me for doing it in human form…” Derek turned to face then “…or it will just hurt a helluva lot!” he used his left hand to lift his right arm and point to the people and the town. “If you are all so interested in my powers, they your gonna’ get a kick outta’ this.” Derek grew an evil smile.
The fire that circled his arm moved faster and grew bigger and bigger. Even after his arm wasn’t visible. The fire grew 12 times larger then Derek’s arm.
“Ready?…” Derek yelled over the roars of the flames.
Everyone winced. The fire was hurled at the people and the town. The father the fire went the more is spread out.
“I’m sorry!” Amy sobbed. Her head in her hands.
“I trusted you.” Derek muttered right before his inferno hit Amy’s house.
A couple moments past before the shock of what just happen past. He stared blankly at the large flames in front of him. They went farther then the little town. Slowly he gathered and angry and slightly sad look on his face.
There was a splashing sound at Derek’s feet. He looked down. In the shirred grass he seen a puddle, rapidly growing next to his shoe. The next this he realized was that the blood was coming from his arm. It had been burned off.
Damn them!… Derek turned his back to the flames and limped away.
Derek got about half mile away before he collapsed from exhaustion and lack of blood. He turned on his back and gazed at the smoke filled sky through the leaves on the tree he laid by.
A sigh was released from Derek’s throat. Then he reached into his pocket. He messed with something round and took out an engagement ring. Derek let out another sigh
I guess it wasn’t meant to happen… Derek squeezed the ring in his hand at his side. He opened his fist and gold and diamond dust slipped through his fingers onto the grass. He could almost hear Amy yell “I’m sorry!”
“Rule number 3, never tell anyone about being a phoenix.” Derek thought aloud. He could feel the other fire building up inside of him. “Not even the closest of most trusted person you know…”
Derek knew he had just, in a way, put a curse on all the future generations of phoenixes after him. But he also knows he may have helped. He cringed at first but then a peaceful look soon crossed his face as a sapphire flame engulfed him and left behind a dark pile of asses on the ground.
The new phoenix was being born.
