The Phoenix Twins: Selene and Serenity

"Where am I," I groaned as I felt my body ache from the sudden fall. "Ouch." I felt broken glass all over the ground. I tried to get up but it was almost impossible. I couldn't move and I couldn't find my voice to yell for help. Serenity could always feel when I was in trouble or hurt. She will come for me. I really wanted to believe that but then I heard another loud THUD! and then a BOOM! "Help!" I shouted. I began to hear sirens and loud horns. I knew this was my fault. Everything bad that happens is always my fault. "Where are you Serenity." Before the accident, my life wasn't so bad. I had a great childhood. My twin sister Serenity and I lived in a beautiful castle on the planet Callisto. Our mother was the current Phoenix King. In our galaxy, people are born with a spirit. This spirit allows you to control an elemental power. You can either be born with a fire spirit, a water spirit, or an air spirit. If you just happen to be born with all three you are considered a trinity spirit. Those are really rare but my grandmother, who I was named after by the way was one. She was super powerful and strong. She was married to my grandfather who was the Phoenix King who passed down his spirit to my mother. That's the only unfortunate part about being a Phoenix King. The only way to get the phoenix spirit is to kill the previous one and let the spirit pass on. When the time comes my mother will choose one of us to pass it down to. That makes me hope it's not me. I don't want to drive a dagger into my mother's heart. I wouldn't want Serenity to have to do that either but she is braver than me and stronger. Since we were little she could already control all three spirits. I have yet to control even one. That's why our parents decided to let us go to the spirit temple and train. Phoenix King heirs never needed to train since they slowly developed each spirit and automatically knew how to use them and control them. I would never admit this to anyone even my own sister but I am glad I don't have a spirit. I know it makes me different and weird but I will rather be normal than a warrior. I just want to live my life and be happy. I think the only reason I want a spirit is because of my father's. I know they bond more with Serenity because she is outgoing and loves to fight. They both trained her the minute she started showing her powers. I know both our fathers love us equally but it hurts more when my father spends more time with her than me. My father V is strong and an amazing warrior. He is a fire spirit. I loved to hear all the stories of how he fought alongside my mother during her first life. See a Phoenix Spirit can die and be reborn so they have many lives. My mother is very cautious though she has the lowest amount of lives lived than most Phoenix Kings. She told me her mother, Selene, would tell her that her father Alexander was very reckless with his lives before he met her and died very often. As a child that scared my mother and she tried to protect her lives. I wish I could have met my grandparents but my mother says if I get the Phoenix spirit I could be able to meet them. That used to make me want to be the Phoenix King when I was younger but now I know I don't stand a chance.  The minute we started training at the spirit temple I was already lacking the most important thing and the minute all the other people there found out I was picked on constantly. If Serenity didn't come with me I would have been miserable every day. I mean I am miserable every day but still, she makes it easier to be there. Serenity is my best friend and I don't know what I would do without her. I look up to her and she has always been better than me. She is even prettier. She will make a fantastic Phoenix King and I will stay by her side until the end. "Watch where you're going freak," a girl sneered. "Sorry," I said softly. "Don't say sorry to her," my sister came fuming behind us. Serenity let out her fire spirit and held up a fireball. "You wouldn't," the girl taunted. Serenity simply smiled at her and threw it at her. The girl shouted and ran and ran until she was out of view. "STAND UP FOR YOURSELF SELENE," Serenity shouted at me. "You know I can't," I whined. "Can't and won't are two different things," Serenity stated. "Don't worry I got your back." "I know," I said as Serenity embraced me. We giggled all the way to the training grounds. "Are you excited to go back home," Serenity asked me. "Yeah, I miss mother and our fathers," I said softly. "Hey, stop, one day you know they," I stopped her before she could finish that sentence. She nudged me and went ahead to train with a group of spirit holders. That was another thing I didn't want to think about. When Serenity becomes the Phoenix King she will kill our mother and our Fathers will throw themselves in her burning flames and die with her. Their love is so strong that you want to be with them in this life and thereafter. It was a loving concept but to actually have it happen scared me more than anything. Serenity and I will be left all alone. I didn't want to think about it. What I did think about was having someone in my life that loved me that much to want to die with me. To not be able to live if I didn't live. Why was life so cruel? Why can I not be normal and just live a long life where no one dies.
