PROLOUGE
It all started with a newborn baby girl.......
Dropped at the corner of an orphanage and later found by a feminine worker she brought the baby in and they took care of her
At the end all the workers found it strange that every two years the children that were raised in the orphanage finally had their accepted homes except for the Girl who was found finally they gave her a name; Alice.
The workers hoped for someone to come in one day to adopt her but no one did and it went on till she was 16.
The orphanage out of a good heart and sympathy for Alice decided to pay for her school fees so she could attend school because of this Alice felt a little lonely and hurt inside she's stayed in the orphanage since she was little why won't anyone take her in, she kept wandering to herself she distanced herself from people because they always leave, no one stays forever in this world.
The orphanage decided it was time to let her go, they paid her university tuition fees and a portable house to stay how could anyone be so nice to pay for her tuition fees and at the same time buy a house for her she felt very appreciative for why they would help a girl like her that has not future desires or dreams she would like to pursue but little did Alice knew that her life was just about to start with just a spot of color green...........
GREEN SPOTS
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock why is it so loud! i thought to myself in frustration , stood up from bed and did my usual stretch, showered and now school. I hardly eat breakfast so i just left and took the bus
Spotting a free space i quickly stole it before anyone else could and since listening to music has been a habit of mine I decided to listen to some throughout my bus rides i took out my phone attempting on putting it on i saw my reflection on the dark screen of my phone
'at least i still look pretty' i utter, almost about turning it on i noticed something at my neck side
'whats that' I stare in confusion at my reflection on my phone
i turn on my phone and set it to camera pointing towards the direction of my neck and took about three pics before returning it back to my face, looking at the pictures i got shocked seeing as spots of color green gathered on a spot on my neck
'is this some kind of joke it can't be a stain' i mutter not wanting to cause attention It won't come off i tried but to no avail i won't bother I'm sure it will go away.
---------------------WEEKS LATER ---------------------
It's been two weeks and my neck is fully design with green what is happening to me i spoke as i stare into the mirror in my bathroom i quickly took my shower then wore a turtleneck to hide my pretty design i got from only God knows where I took a cab to the nearest hospital around here before i turn into a turtle. Reaching there i waited for a while and finally seated with a doctor in front of me.
'so, what is the issue Miss. Alice.'
'Well, um... for starters' i pushed the turtleneck down a little which reveals my new skin color i saw the doctor eyes widening with shock .
'Ok that's a problem' he stood and left which got me confused 'hello patient on a chair here' he suddenly arrives with two nurses who were also surprised with what they saw they conducted series of test quite exhausting i have to admit after that they requested for me to wait in for the results.
The following forty five to forty six minutes the doctor came in walking through the hall holding some papers and going through them like as if its the end of the world.
'nothing' i hear the doctor say as he finally reached towards where I was.
'no disease no illness your body is perfectly fine'
'that can't be true should i show you my neck again' how can it be true it's not like i want a disease but how....
'i think maybe its a skin reaction have you been using a new cream lately or did you recently relocated' i sighed at the doctor's question 'its alright doc i'll handle this myself' i appreciated him before taking my leave finally arriving home I changed to a less cover-able outfit cause the heat back there was no joke i sat on my bed
'What is happening to me......' it was already evening i didn't realize how much time i spent in the hospital i cooked up my favorite meal before slumping on the couch and watching TV eventually tiredness consumed me telling me it was time to head to bed
i did the dishes quickly and went straight to bed closing my eyes and slowly drifting to my wonderland a voice pulled me back
'hurry and see'
Shit! Its... its morning already I'm all sweaty.
'at this process someone just kill me' i hit back first on my bed discovering i have school today i quickly lodged myself into the bathroom to see if the green stuff has gone but i think it got worse because damn my full back is green
'what is this' i utter in frustration i took my shower obviously not in the mood to eat i left immediately for school
--------------------FAST FORWARD ------------------------
In one of my class currently and we were given a self-project to do after school. Class was done for the day it won't kill if I do the project now I head in for the school laboratory. Following the instructions i grabbed a small container filled with water, poured any chemical solution into it then slightly put a drop of your blood normally if it were to be humans instantly the color will change to blue I wander what the color would be like for animals i tried and damn it was the opposite , completely opposite
i cut myself a little and put it in the container and to my surprised all the water dried up right before my eyes to say it turned to a different color that would have been better but instead it evaporated out of thin air, shocked i left school to my house only to see a package at my doorstep.
'what now.....' i picked up the small package then head inside my room and ripped it open it was a book with a write up 'PANDORA'
Strange i opened the book then began reading..
Long ago there live a woman; Pandora who held a box designed with shiny diamonds close to her everywhere she went many questioned what could be so precious in there which made her carry it wherever she goes to
But only Pandora and her husband knew what occupied that box her husband was the one that shared to her about his discovery concerning the box he mentioned to her about the evil presiding in that very same box she carried around and warn her never to open the box but Pandora out of curiosity wanted to see for herself so at night she took her chariot and her men and head to a far and quiet place they reached their destination, Pandora couldn't wait to open the box as she was about doing so
Her husband who knew what Pandora was up to and secretly followed them and as he saw Pandora was about opening the box he rushed to her but at the end it was not enough to stop her she opened the box and doom filled the country everyone in it turned to stones the Guardians didn't know how to remove the evil from that country but only how to stop it from spreading to other parts of the world and fully turn the world into stones. They came up with a solution and selected a green phoenix in form of a human to stop the evil from spreading but no progress has been made. In the year 2021 the world will be in chaos and everything will turn into stone if a way is not found.
'2021, this is 2020 Dec. 18 shit! i have to tell..... wait if i tell anyone I'm pretty sure they will term me as a psycho i have to find it myself'
Days went on with Alice doing a lot of research gathering any information she can find but it was all useless
------2020 Dec. 23---------
i began pacing around where in this world is this green bird animal it should show and do its job
'its you' a voice said
'whats that'
'you are the protector'
i must be hearing shit i need to lie down for a while
i lie on the bed not knowing when sleep hit me i had a dream............
In a windy desert there was a woman holding a box and a man running towards her i saw another figure, me?
i woke up and that's when it hit me that must be Pandora and her husband running to stop her but why was i there
'you are the protector' the voice said to me again
i need to go for a check up cause at this point i might pass out i went to the bathroom my eyes lit up with utmost shock my whole body green!!!
'great now i can't go to the doctor'
'um... hello' i don't know what I'm expected to hear
'hello'
'you're real.....' I asked please let this be my imagination
'yes I am but please don't faint'
Too late.
----------------------- FAST FORWARD ------------------- Currently in the sitting room I cleared my throat
'hey voice can you explain to me why I'm green' i said giving in to the voice I'm just trying to find and explanation to all this
'your the Phoenix the world needs you'
'please sign me up for things that does not include saving the world and besides am probably sure i am running mad judging from the way i am actually having a conversation with myself'
'this is no time for joke in a couple of days this world will be nothing but stone figures occupying it' the voice switch to a warning tune that is when i knew it was serious
'ok fine what should i do' i submitted looks like my life just took a U-turn
'well lets join heads and find a way to stop the evil from spreading'
'okay now i have questions now' my mind is all messy can't think straight anymore
'go ahead'
'first things foremost the box and the Pandora shit happened a long time ago right' i asked in a confused tone
'yes but since then the country still remains its stone like habitants because its hosting the evil Pandora released
'but they created this phoenix stuffs so am sure they were protectors before me' like seriously so they should go meet them because if I say I want to save the world I'm gonna do the opposite not because I want to but because I can't
'yes they were other protectors but strangely they left'
'ok second there's no need to join heads we are already one'
'really now....'
'sorry' I giggled 'ok next question um.. how old are you'
'That is completely out of what I expected to you to ask but I'v been existing for several years and help put the protectors before you on the right track' the voice concluded
then a question popped in my head one that got me afraid to ask not knowing how the answer would be like but it slipped out anyway 'the protectors before me were they my.......' i couldn't finish too scared to.
'yes they were your parents' the voice finished it for me and then my heart sank
'do y-you know how they got missing'
'it remains a mystery to us but they left you to us'
i breathe in 'okay'
'so how are we going to end this evil'
'honestly I don't know' the voice said
Wait! 'how about we go to the desert and find the box'
'ok...'
'then close it since when it opened it brought all this doom so lets just close it'
'wow I must say that's brilliant'
'thanks but how will i get there am sure its like a million miles away'
'use your wings'
Damn i got that, well i mean i know I'm the phoenix so I'm suppose to have wings but damn that would be so cool
After a while of the voice i have no idea where its coming from instructing me on how to use my wings i finally i got it right wow i can't believe it i turned into a phoenix a green cool one lets get this party started
My journey began, i flew over so many fucking cities it was so cool i knew after this i will spend up to five days puking my lungs out well thats if i make it out alive that's when we reached there the city where Pandora lived in
'so this is the place'
'yes this place no one can see it, its no longer on the map but mystical creatures can see it'
'that would be easy its just to close the box right'
'right but don't get killed '
'thats blunt' i asked
'now go it will soon be new year we use 4 good days to fly over here year we don't have much time'
i reached the city desert and there i saw Pandora and the box with black colored smoke emitting out of it
'will i get killed'
'only if you inhale it'
i flew over over and landed on the sand with my body the wind was being a serious bitch
i tried turning back to phoenix but i couldn't so i walked towards with full energy cause i don't want to be carried away by the wind i see the benefits of being fat now. I reached out for the box trying to close it and i could have sworn that i saw Pandora's head move
'not so fast darling' her eyelids open as her mouth turned into a smile
'voice didn't you say that everything was a statue' me whispering to the voice
'well lets re-adjusts that'
Ugh.... i hijacked the box from her hand running away from an angry looking black eyed Pandora
'now will be a good time for me to turn into phoenix don't you think!' i shouted at the voice
Immediately I turned and started flying away for my life
'ok wow thank you, to where'
'the mountain that sparkles'
like seriously there's a mountain like that oh found it. I flew over there and stood on the mountain and i saw Pandora rushing towards me this woman's leg is as fast as a cheetah
'quick what should i do next'
'shout guardians'
i did and the ground began to shake, the box shined so brightly and sucked Pandora into it and everything started coming back to normal
'you saved the city'
'i did I really did huh nice work voice'
'Its Erin'
'your a guy I thought you're a girl'
'yeah yeah lets go home'
'you mean my home'
'lets just go home'
it took another four days to get back home and as soon as i did i puked for two hours straight
'i'v been waiting to do that' i layed on my bed
'that was one journey'
'yeah and you save the world from chaos'
'guess you will be staying with me' Erin said in exciteness
'yep!' i heard a knock on the door
'strange no one ever comes to visit'
'do you know who it may be' Erin asked
'nope'
'coming' i shouted because the knocks were getting louder
i opened it and saw a grown man and a woman i think its his wife
'hi' i wonder who they might be and i was shocked as they both rushed and gave me a hug
'we missed you Lea' i heard the man say with his deep voice, whose lea?
'sorry but who got the wrong person' i politely said
'no' the lady already in tears looked me in the eye
'i will know my daughter when i see her'
Confusion swirls around me are these really my parents i must be dreaming right......?
THE END
A girl who thought she had no purpose to fulfill turned out to be the protector of the world......... but what will she do now her parents is back in her life CHECK IT OUT IN
