Chapter One

Nineteen Years ago

Jonathan Kent brought out the cake as everyone started to sing Happy Birthday to Phoenix. He sat the cake down in front of him and Phoenix stared at the five burning candles as his daddy told him to make a wish. He looked up at his daddy smiling as he thought to himself, ¡§I wish, I wish for a friend. A friend I can talk to about anything.¡¨ The last note to the song was sung and Phoenix blew out all five candles in one breath.

Jonathan and everyone cheered as he cut Phoenix the first slice and put it on a plate. Three sets of big eyes were looking up at him expectantly. He laughed as he gave Phoenix his plate as the pretty little blonde was practically bouncing in her seat, ¡§Me next, me next.¡¨

Jonathan laughed out loud as he cut her a slice, ¡§Alight Chloe, settle down. My goodness you¡¦re a hungry one.¡¨

¡§Daddy says that all the time.¡¨ She told him as she dug into her cake with gusto.

Phoenix laughed as his daddy handed Pete some cake, and watched him walk back into the kitchen. He knew that his daddy was sad, sad about mommy being so far away. He looked over to see Chloe eyeing his untouched cake, ¡§Here.¡¨ He told her and pushed it over to her which made her squeal in delight.

Jonathan walked back into the room with a present in his arms and set it down on the table, ¡§Why didn¡¦t you eat your cake son?¡¨ He said as he saw Chloe stuffing her mouth with more.

Phoenix giggled and smiled at Chloe who smiled back with chocolate all in her teeth, ¡§She wanted it more than me daddy.¡¨

Jonathan mussed up his hair and asked, ¡§Do you want another piece son?¡¨

Phoenix shook his head making his silky red hair fall around his shoulders, ¡§I want present.¡¨

Jonathan snorted, ¡§I bet you do, well, here you go.¡¨ He pushed the gift over to his son and watched him tear through the wrapping like there was no tomorrow. He cold not help but beam when he saw his precious sons emerald eyes light up with glee at what he saw in the box. He knew the telescope would be perfect for his son. Phoenix carefully picked it up in his small arms and cradled it as Pete giggled, ¡§What is it?¡¨

Phoenix snorted and looked over at him, ¡§It¡¦s a telepoke.¡¨

Chloe laughed, ¡§Silly name,¡¨ And then she grabbed her tummy, ¡§Ouch, I had too much yummy.¡¨

Phoenix laughed and carefully put his telepoke down and he ran to hug his daddy, ¡§Thank you daddy. Now I can see closer to mommy.¡¨

Jonathan closed his eyes to keep the tears from falling as he picked his son up to hold him, ¡§Yes, now you can see closer to mommy. I¡¦m sure she¡¦ll be smiling down as you smile up.¡¨

Phoenix wrapped his arms around his daddy¡¦s neck, ¡§Love you daddy.¡¨

¡§I love you to, happy birthday son.¡¨ Jonathan told him as he kissed his cheek and set him down so he could run and play with his friends. He looked over at the picture above the fireplace of Martha smiling warmly, ¡§I miss you sweetheart.¡¨
***************************************************

Later that night after his daddy put him to bed Phoenix stared out his window at the stars twinkling down at him. He pushed back his covers and slowly crept to the window to look up at them. He smiled as he looked through his telepoke, ¡§Love, Mama.¡¨ As he said it a soft warm breeze blew his hair into his eyes. He shook his head and crawled back into his bed. He stared up at the ceiling as a small tear fell from his eye. He quickly wiped it away as another one fell.

He sat back up and heard a small voice, ¡§Why are you crying?¡¨

Phoenix squinted at the shadows, ¡§Who there?¡¨

He watched as a small boy with golden skin and dark hair stepped out of the darkness. Phoenix pulled the covers up around him, ¡§I¡¦m not crying.¡¨

The little boy smiled, ¡§It¡¦s ok to cry.¡¨

Phoenix looked back out the window as the boy told him, ¡§I like stars.¡¨

Phoenix turned back to look at him, ¡§Me to. My mommy is up there shining with them.¡¨

¡§Really?¡¨ The little boy asked looking up at the sky, ¡§Where?¡¨

Phoenix shook his head which made his hair catch the moonlight, ¡§I don¡¦t know where, but I know that she is.¡¨

The little boy smiled and stepped closer, ¡§I¡¦m Kal, what¡¦s your name?¡¨

Phoenix looked at him and decided he liked Kal. Kal knew how to listen, ¡§Phoenix.¡¨

Suddenly the door opened and the lights came on all at once as Jonathan looked around the room, ¡§Son, who were you talking to?¡¨

Phoenix squinted at his daddy due to the sudden appearance of light, ¡§Kal.¡¨

Jonathan looked confused, ¡§Kal?¡¨

Phoenix nodded and pointed but Kal was not there. He looked around the room but no one was there, ¡§He really was here daddy. He had pretty skin and funny hair.¡¨

Jonathan smiled and walked over to sit on the bed next to his son, ¡§Looks like you got you and imaginary friend. What an interesting name, Kal. I like it.¡¨

Phoenix looked confused at what his daddy was saying and then remembered the wish he made when he blew out the pretty candles. Sure Pete and Chloe were nice, but for some reason Phoenix felt like he needed more.

His daddy hugged him told him to tell Kal night for him as he turned the lights back off. He closed the door and Phoenix waited a few seconds and whispered into the dark, ¡§Kal?¡¨

¡§Beside you.¡¨ A warm whisper said in his ear.

Phoenix turned his head to see Kal sitting beside him, ¡§I thought you went away.¡¨

Kal giggled, ¡§I¡¦m your friend. I¡¦ll never go away.¡¨

Phoenix pulled the covers up around them, ¡§You promise?¡¨

Kal smiled, ¡§For as long as you need me.¡¨

Phoenix yawned and whispered, ¡§Forever.¡¨

Kal smiled as he watched Phoenix fall asleep next to him. He reached over to touch a soft pale cheek and run his fingers through the length of soft silky hair. He moved over closer to him to put an arm around him, ¡§Mine.¡¨
*********************************************

Present 2001

Phoenix rolled over only to open his eyes to have sunlight hiss in his beautiful face. He growled loudly and pulled the covers over his head. He heard feet padding down the hall and, ¡§Rise and shine beautiful!¡¨

Phoenix rolled his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He let out a snore and shifted a little. He smiled when he heard Clark sigh and then felt Clark get on the bed and start crawling up the length of his body.

He quickly closed his eyes and slowed his breathing. Clark slowly pulled the clovers back from his face and sighed softly, ¡§God, you¡¦re beautiful Phe.¡¨ Phoenix slowly turned his face closer to Clark and he felt soft lips on his and his emerald eyes opened. He glared at Clark, ¡§I¡¦ll rise, but I refuse to shine.¡¨

Clark let out a bark of laughter and pecked him on the cheek, ¡§Impossible, you shine all the time.¡¨

Phoenix snorted as he looked into those blue eyes, ¡§You¡¦re flattering me and it¡¦s only seven-thirty in the morning, what did you do?¡¨

Clark sat back and looked thoughtful, ¡§I made you breakfast.¡¨

Phoenix sat up, ¡§What, not in bed?¡¨

Clark gave him his most evil puppy dog eyed pout ever. The one that could make Phoenix his slave, ¡§Ok, fine, I¡¦ll get up.¡¨

Clark smiled brightly and pulled Phoenix to his feet, ¡§I made all your favorites.¡¨

Phoenix smiled as he allowed himself to be pulled into the kitchen by the larger man only to have his eyes pop out of his head at the food that covered the dining room table. There was bacon, eggs, sausages, hams, fruits, gravy, pancakes, and a hell of a lot more.

Clark watched Phoenix¡¦s face in glee as he looked the table over in astonishment. Phoenix looked at him, ¡§A little much don¡¦t you think?¡¨ Phoenix knew what Clark was up to and he loved every moment of it. Phoenix smiled as he held Clark close. Clark put his arms around him being careful of his strength and whispered in the beautiful red heads ear, ¡§Happy anniversary Phe.¡¨
***********************************************

Sixteen Years Ago

¡§What do you mean Kal?¡¨ Phoenix asked his best friend.

¡§I have to go Phoenix.¡¨ Kal said sadly as he threw another rock into the pond.

¡§Where?¡¨ Phoenix asked as he took one of Kal¡¦s hands in his own.

¡§To my home.¡¨ Kal said as he squeezed his hand gently.

¡§I need you Kal.¡¨ Phoenix said as he moved closer.

Kal looked at his friend and refused to do what his father set him out to do, ¡§No, you don¡¦t Phe.¡¨

A tear fell from an emerald eye, ¡§You promised.¡¨

¡§I know I did. I said I would stay for as long as you needed me. You¡¦re growing up Phe. You have really good friends now who care for you.¡¨ Kal told him wiping the tears away from Phoenix¡¦s eyes with his thumb.

Phoenix lower lip trembled, ¡§I¡¦ll always be with you Phe.¡¨

¡§Like my mommy?¡¨ Phoenix asked.

Kal hugged him closer, ¡§Yes, just like your mommy.¡¨

Phoenix squeezed Kal tight as fresh tears fell, ¡§I love you Kal.¡¨

Kal stiffened at those words and then slowly relaxed in the loving embrace, ¡§I love you to.¡¨

Eight Years Later

The Source held in the palm of his pale hand a green stone in which caused his son tremendous pain, ¡§You still disappoint me my son.¡¨

Phyre cried out in pain as his father got closer to him with the stone, ¡§Father, Stop!¡¨

¡§You have to learn my son, demons do not love,¡¨ He hissed, ¡§You were sent to tempt that boy. Make him evil, but instead you went and fell in love with him.¡¨

Phyre cried out in agony as the stone still kept coming closer to him, ¡§It was years ago!¡¨

¡§And you still have not learned your lesson!¡¨ The Source raged.

¡§Please,¡¨ Phyre begged, ¡§I¡¦ll do better!¡¨

The source actually used his pleasant voice, ¡§Please! Did you just say please? The son of the Source does not say please! You are prince to the Underworld! You never say please!¡¨ The Source yelled making the very ground he stood upon quake in fear.

¡§You¡¦re my father!¡¨ Phyre yelled.

¡§Yes, I am,¡¨ The source said softly, ¡§And you are my son.¡¨

Phyre screamed as the stone touched his skin and darkness took him as the Oracle flashed in, ¡§My lord, you summoned?¡¨

¡§Indeed Oracle this stone does control him.¡¨ The Source said as he gazed down at his sons form.

¡§His home is his only poison.¡¨ The Oracle repeated.

The Source smiled, ¡§Indeed.¡¨

She looked at him, ¡§You are troubled.¡¨

¡§His power grows daily. Just look at him.¡¨ The Source said in worry and great pride.

The Oracle looked down at the handsome demon sleeping. His flawless cherry red skin, the way his glossy black horns curled around his temples with his long raven locks. Even the strange symbol on his solid chest which was a black outline of a diamond with an eight in the center took up most of his chest. The Oracle sighed, ¡§He is lovely my lord.¡¨

The Source smiled with pride from under his black hood, ¡§Yes, he is,¡¨ He told her, ¡§And one day he will take my place.¡¨

The Oracle was about to speak when the Source cut her off, ¡§Save it, come, we have work to do.¡¨

They both vanished in flames leaving the young demon Phyre to slowly wake up. He opened his solid black eyes and hissed in fury as flames danced to life all around him. He stood up and vanished in flames. From now on he would do as he pleased. Fuck the Underworld and all its bullshit rules.
*****************************************

Phoenix was standing on the bridge looking down at the water passing under it. Phyre was so attracted to him it was scary. His shoulder length red hair, his milky complexion, even the way the emerald itself paled in comparison to the beauty of his eyes. The way his beautiful face looks when scared as a speeding car is heading right for him. Wait! What? Speeding car? Shit!

Phyre moved to save him only to see Phoenix disappear in blue lights as the car drove over the bridge to land in the deep water below. Phoenix suddenly reappeared smacking his head on the ground as he rolled a few feet coming to a stop. Phyre rushed over to see that he was out cold. He had a nasty gash above his left brow. Phoenix easily and carefully picked him up into his arms and flashed to the nearest hospital. Let the bastard who almost killed his Phe drown.

Phoenix slowly opened his eyes to see a worried face looking at him, ¡§Dad?¡¨

¡§I¡¦m here son. You¡¦re going to be fine.¡¨ Jonathan told him as he gave his son some water.

Phoenix took a slow drink, ¡§What happened? Where am I?¡¨

Jonathan looked across from him and Phoenix turned to see what he was looking at, ¡§This young man saved you.¡¨

Phoenix could only stare at the man as he fumbled, ¡§Thank you.¡¨

Phyre smiled, ¡§It was nothing. I called the police from a payphone. I don¡¦t know how to swim so I¡¦m not sure how the driver of the car is.¡¨

¡§Car?¡¨ Phoenix asked.

¡§Are you hungry Phe?¡¨ His dad asked him.

He nodded his head, ¡§I¡¦ll go get you some burgers,¡¨ Jonathan nodded to Phyre, ¡§Thank you?¡¨

¡§Clark.¡¨ Phyre quickly told him.

¡§Clark,¡¨ Jonathan said, ¡§Thank you for saving my son¡¦s life. I, I don¡¦t know if I could have survived it if you hadn¡¦t.¡¨

Phoenix moved to get to him but Jonathan stopped him, ¡§No, you rest. I¡¦m fine. I¡¦ll be back.¡¨ He kissed him on the head and smiled once more to Clark as he left.

Phoenix shook his head, ¡§I don¡¦t remember anything.¡¨

¡§But I do,¡¨ Phyre thought as he said, ¡§It¡¦s ok, you hit your head when you hit the pavement.¡¨

Phoenix lifted his hand to touch the bandage above his brow and cringed, ¡§Ouch.¡¨

Phyre was at his side in a flash holding his hand, ¡§Are you ok?¡¨

Phoenix blushed slightly, ¡§I¡¦m fine.¡¨

Phyre realized that he as holding his hand for longer than was necessary and quickly let go. Phoenix just look at him, dark hair, golden sun kissed skin, blue eyes, Kal?

Phoenix shook his head as Phyre asked, ¡§Are you sure you¡¦re ok?¡¨

He took another sip of his water, ¡§Yes, it¡¦s just that.¡¨

¡§Just that?¡¨ Phyre asked.

¡§You remind me of someone.¡¨ Phoenix said as he looked into those familiar blue eyes.

Phyre laughed nervously, ¡§Who?¡¨

Phoenix blushed, ¡§A good friend I once had a long time ago.¡¨

Phyre froze, ¡§How could he remember? Those blue lights, orbs?¡¨

He watched Phoenix try to get to his feet. His head swam and he would have fallen if Phyre had not caught him, ¡§I knew you were not ok.¡¨

Phoenix grasped his arms, ¡§I¡¦m fine.¡¨

¡§No, no you¡¦re not,¡¨ Phyre told him as he helped him back onto the bed, ¡§Now stay in bed or your dad will probably spank you.¡¨

Phoenix snorted and then laughed out loud which made his head hurt. Phyre felt his blood boil in pleasure to the sound, ¡§Spank me? My dad? I¡¦ve never been spanked in my life.¡¨

¡§Really?¡¨ Phyre asked.

¡§Yep.¡¨ Phoenix told him.

Phoenix laid his head down on the scratchy pillow and watched him, ¡§Thanks for saving me Clark.¡¨

Phyre looked at him and the look in those emerald eyes tore the breath from his body. It was hard for him to form words. Here he was, the most powerful demon in the Underworld besides his father and he could not form words in front of this young man, ¡§No problem Phoenix.¡¨

Phoenix narrowed his eyes, ¡§How do you know my name?¡¨

Phyre pointed to his medical charts, ¡§Your dad told me.¡¨

Phoenix smacked his forehead only to yelp in pain. Oh, my, god, I am so stupid! He opened his yes to see Clark standing right at his bedside, ¡§Oops, silly me.¡¨

¡§Phyre laughed, ¡§Indeed.¡¨

Phoenix shyly reached you and took his big hand in his, ¡§Thank you Clark.¡¨

Phyre smiled, ¡§So, you¡¦ve never been spanked.¡¨

¡§Nope.¡¨ Phoenix told him.

¡§Well, you can never get too big to get one,¡¨ Jonathan said coming through the door, ¡§Here¡¦s your food,¡¨ He said as he saw his son holding Clark¡¦s hand, ¡§Oh, Is this a bad time?¡¨

Phoenix dropped Clark¡¦s hand and blushed furiously, ¡§No! Thanks dad, yay cheeseburgers!¡¨

Phyre stepped back a little startled, ¡§I think I should go.¡¨

¡§Nonsense,¡¨ Jonathan said, ¡§I got you a burger to,¡¨ He said handing it to him, ¡§After all you did save my sons life and my sanity.¡¨

Phyre smiled as he inhaled the cheeseburger. It had been too long since last he had one.

¡§How long are you in town for?¡¨ Jonathan asked.

¡§For a while, I guess.¡¨ Phyre told him.

¡§Do you have a place to stay?¡¨ Phoenix asked biting into another cheeseburger.

Phyre shook his head no and Jonathan patted him on the back, ¡§Then you can some stay with us. We have plenty of room.¡¨

Phyre shook his head, ¡§No, I couldn¡¦t intrude.¡¨

Jonathan squeezed his arm, ¡§I insist.¡¨

Phoenix smiled at his dad¡¦s persistence and that smile made Phyre accept, ¡§Well, ok, thanks Mr. uh?

¡§Kent.¡¨ Jonathan told him.

Mr. Kent, thank you.¡¨ Phyre told him just as the doors blew open and a blonde blur zipped past him, ¡§Oh Phe! Thank goodness you¡¦re ok!¡¨

She was hugging him so tight he felt like he was turning blue, ¡§Chloe, can¡¦t breathe.¡¨

¡§Oh, sorry,¡¨ She said releasing him as she watched him take a deep breath, ¡§You look like crap.¡¨

Phoenix rolled his eyes and Phyre stopped his growl as Phoenix said, ¡§Well, it¡¦s thanks to Clark that I am still alive and allowed to look like crap every now and then.¡¨

She turned to look at him and whistled as she looked him over. She actually whistled, oh my god! That¡¦s Chloe for you. She¡¦s blonde, beautiful, and smart as hell. But when it came to guys she knew them all too well. No wonder we have become such good friends.

¡§Earth to Phoenix, hello, come in Phoenix,¡¨ Chloe called out as he turned to look at her, ¡§You have been discharged. Come my brother the truck is this way, we is a going home!¡¨

Phoenix took a deep breath, snorted, and then proceeded to crack the hell up. Chloe imitating Pete is funny as hell. He slowly got to his feet thanks to the help of his dad. His head swam a little but he managed to walk out between Clark and his dad with Chloe skipping ahead in front of them. Phoenix looked at his dad, ¡§I¡¦m hungry.¡¨

¡§You just had two cheeseburgers.¡¨ Jonathan told him.

¡§I¡¦m hungry again.¡¨ Phoenix told him.

¡§Good lord Phe.¡¨ Jonathan laughed as Chloe smiled at Clark who was grinning like a damn fool.
********************************************************

Present 2001

Phoenix held the strawberry to Clark¡¦s lips and pulled it away making him bite nothing but air, ¡§Hey!¡¨ He whined grabbing Phoenix around the waist just as Phoenix crammed the strawberry into his mouth and made pleasurable groaning sounds as he chewed.

Clark let him go and Phoenix ran to the other side of the table, ¡§That was sneaky.¡¨

¡§It was yummy,¡¨ Phoenix said as he ate the last piece of bacon, ¡§And so was that.¡¨

Clark sighed deeply and shrugged, ¡§Guess I¡¦ll do dishes then.¡¨

¡§You cooked, I can do the dishes.¡¨ Phoenix told him as he picked up a plate.

¡§I can get them done faster,¡¨ Clark said picking up some bowls, ¡§Go watch your cartoons.¡¨

Phoenix¡¦s mouth dropped open, ¡§Hey! Pirates of Darkwater is cool and you know it!¡¨

¡§Of course and you just watch it because you think the lead character is hot.¡¨ Clark said while making a face.

Phoenix got a look in his eyes that made Clark worry, ¡§We could role play.¡¨

¡§What?¡¨ Clark asked hiding his interest at the fun proposal.

Phoenix slowly walked around and the table picking up plates and pans, ¡§I can be the poor prince on the bad mans ship being held captive, and you have to swoop in and save me before he makes me his.¡¨

Clark snorted, ¡§With that mouth he would more likely feed you to the Constrictus,¡¨ His eyes widened as he covered his mouth, ¡§Damn.¡¨

¡§I knew it!¡¨ Phoenix shouted, ¡§You were watching!¡¨

Clark quickly took his items to the sink, ¡§I don¡¦t know what you¡¦re talking about.¡¨

¡§Liar,¡¨ Phoenix mumbled and then said smoothly, ¡§Do you want to?¡¨

¡§Want to what?¡¨ Clark asked while turning on the water and added some dish liquid.

¡§To save your true love,¡¨ He said rubbing his hands along Clark¡¦s stomach and slowly down his front to gently hold him, ¡§From the clutches of an evil man.¡¨ He whispered in his ear that made Clark shudder.

Phoenix squeezed Clark just a little and dish liquid shot off all over the wall as bubbles filled the sink. Phoenix laughed out loud, ¡§That was easy.¡¨

Clark growled as he now had another mess to clean up, ¡§That was a low down dirty thing to do.¡¨

Phoenix smiled and kissed his lips, ¡§I know.¡¨

Clark picked up a rag and started to clean up the mess Phoenix caused him to make as he watched him go get more dirty dishes. He waved his hand over the wall and the mess was gone. He then put his hands in the water and pretended to be doing the dishes thinking, ¡§That game does sound like fun, only I¡¦ll make the scene.¡¨

Phoenix came back in and saw Clark with a rather large knife in his hand as he stabbed a chair. He dropped his plate as Clark yelled, ¡§Stay back, it¡¦s not safe!¡¨

Phoenix looked around, ¡§What the hell are you talking about?¡¨ He yelled as a pate flew by his head. He yelped and went to the floor spilling dishes everywhere, ¡§I said down!¡¨ Clark yelled.

Clark jumped over the chair and then preceded to sidekick the chair into the nearest wall as he went to Phoenix¡¦s side, ¡§Are ye alright?¡¨ He asked in a horrid pirate accent.

Phoenix cried out as Clark lifted him up over his shoulder, ¡§Have you lost your damn mind? Just look at my chair! Look at that hole.¡¨ Clark turned around fast and Phoenix cried out as Clark ran them into the living room only to turn around and look over Clark¡¦s head to see him throw the knife into the kitchen, ¡§Got them!¡¨ He cried out.

He then put Phoenix down and went to kiss him only to cry, ¡§Look out!¡¨ And they both fell over backwards onto the couch with Phoenix on top. Clark looked up into those dazzling emerald eyes, ¡§How was that?¡¨

Phoenix was shaking with rage and hysterical laughter at the goofy grin on Clark¡¦s face, ¡§My hero.¡¨

Clark grinned wider, ¡§I think you¡¦re safe now.¡¨

Phoenix actually raised an eyebrow and looked around the room and then back to Clark waiting for another surprise, ¡§Are you sure?¡¨

Clark leaned his head up to nibble on Phoenix¡¦s lower lip, ¡§Well, maybe not from me.¡¨

Phoenix rolled his eyes and then ground his hips into Clark which made Clark groan as Phoenix said softly, ¡§I didn¡¦t think so, now what about that chair?¡¨

Clark¡¦s elbow hit the TV remote and the television clicked on, ¡§Fuck the chair.¡¨ Clark said as he continued to plant kisses on Phoenix as Phoenix slowly removed his shirt to reveal a smooth, flawless, ivory chest. Clark¡¦s breath left him, ¡§So beautiful.¡¨

Phoenix suppressed a laugh as Clark combed his golden fingers through his silky red hair, ¡§It¡¦s amazing how you have red hair Phe.¡¨

¡§Why¡¦s that?¡¨ Phoenix asked him as he nibbled on a finger.

Clark sighed, ¡§Because there is not one freckle on your entire body.¡¨

Phoenix smiled, ¡§Do you look for them while I sleep?¡¨

Clark smiled, ¡§My little secret.¡¨

Phoenix playfully punched him the shoulder, ¡§I wish I could tan. I am deathly pale compared to you.¡¨

¡§And you could not look anymore stunning.¡¨ Clark told him and stole another kiss that was just as sweet as the last billion.

Phoenix turned this head so that Clark could get at his neck and his breath suddenly left him. He went deathly still as his eyes glued themselves to the TV screen. Clark noticed, ¡§What¡¦s wrong?¡¨

Phoenix reached for the remote and turned the volume up, ¡§Phoebe Halliwell, the successful columnist for Ask Phoebe, Wife of Cole Turner was killed early this morning when an explosion went off in her home. Police officials are saying that Mr. Cole Turner may be responsible for the death of his wife. If you have any information on Mr. Turner¡¦s whereabouts please call the following number.¡¨

¡§Phoenix, you¡¦re shaking, what¡¦s wrong?¡¨ Clark asked him as he smiled on the inside, ¡§A charmed one is now dead and the new source is gone to. The Underworld can be mine to rule now,¡¨

Phoenix turned two frightened eyes on him and the smile inside Clark faded, ¡§What is it? Tell me.¡¨

His voice was slow and shaken, ¡§That¡¦s the woman from my dream.¡¨ He turned back to the screen to see the sister he didn¡¦t even know about smiling back at him.
