Chapter 16

HER NAME IS PHOENIX 1

"Why did you lie to me? why didn't I remember anything from that day until now?",Kiara asked her ocean blue eyes beginning to glisten with tears and her lips quivering.

"I'm sorry but at the same time am also not sorry,I did what I had to do to protect you just like I promised them I would",Max replied, staring at everywhere but her face. He's not sorry he lied to her , neither is he sorry he erased her memory,he had always blame himself for what happened that day which is why he is determined to not let it happen again.

Kiara was shocked ,she wasn't really expecting an apology,she just wanted an explanation as to why he did it "Listen to me Kiara",Max said as he raised her head so she could stare into his eyes "No body must know you've remember what happened that day,i will explain more to you when the time is right but please for now just trust me,and i know you might be feeling angry ,you have every right to be angry but please keep it in check",He said wiping the tears that stained her cheeks,and then he patted her head and said "Get some rest,when you're well rested then we can have this talk ,but until then,get some rest".Kiara could only nod her head as she watched her brother exist the room .

Next day 8:25 pm Gen V

Music could be heard blasting through the speakers,the smell of alcohol combined with the pheromones everyone was giving off filled the air,Kiara could hear the blasting music from her room,it was destroying her beauty bath;she was in the bathtub filled with rose petals and a wine glass on her hand,the conversation with her brother kept replaying itself in her head,but she shook her head to remove the thoughts 'no negative thoughts tonight is my night,my time to shine,so let's focus on having fun' she said to herself,then she heard a loud knocking on her door she groaned "Wren who's at the door",she asked the AI she had installed in her room.

"It's miss Bella, should I let her in ?or do you want me to take a message for you miss Kiara"Wren said .

"Let her in",she said as she got out of the bathtub, taking a robe and putting it on she headed for her bedroom to get dressed ,she took off her robe and as if Bella has been waiting for her to undress she burst into the bedroom and Kiara couldn't help but let out a scream "Bella!!!!The fuck are you doing, I'm getting dressed get out".But she stood there staring at her"Woah, babe you've gotten even curvier than before and what with the red tats",She said moving closer to her

"Tats?Red?Red tats?what do you mean?",Kiara asked.

"Look in the mirror ",Bella replied,and she turned to look at the mirror what she saw was beyond anything she's ever seen before.

ZYPHER

After the shock on Mon El's face disappeared upon seeing Mereolena,he felt fear,then he felt anger,after all these years,after all the training he did he was still afraid of her,he was angry that even after so long he was still afraid of her,angry that even after all these years she was still stronger than him but then again it fueled his resolve to get even more stronger,he worked up to her "Hey ,it's been a long time,and seems you've gotten even stronger than you were the last time Mereolena",He said offering out his hand for a handshake but she took his hand and drew him to her, putting his head on her bosoms but then again he thought 'why I'm not surprised ? she's still the same even after so long'.He felt her hand on his hair as she patted it"Yeah,it's been a really long time Octavius",She said with a smile as she disengage from the hug "Heard you're going out to look for your mate".

"yes I am",he replied.

"As much as I would love to go with you ,Nero already asked me for a favor".

"No ,it's fine,you only just came back after so many years you should rest".

"yeah,I should do that,but I really want to know how strong the Phoenix is,I want to fight her",She said with a grin on her face .

'phew,Thank the Gods Nero already asked her to stay here,I don't even want to know what she'll do when she sees her'.he thought

"We should be on our way now,when I get back we can do some catching up while training,what do you say".

"I'm in,you better don't back out later, cause I won't go easy on you",she said and laughed,then she watched Mon El and Nero board the ship, whilst listening in on their conversation with a sly smile on her face .

"She won't kill him right?", Mon El asked Nero

"She won't,I told her to go easy on him",Nero replied,then she telepathically sent a message to her "Try not to kill him ".

"I can't guarantee that".

As they both board the ship they heard the screams of Patek before they took off.
