Staying Alive

Some days passed and today was Shin Fenixs birthday.

It was 06/06/06 today, Fenixs birthday but she didn remembered it.

As she was woke up, she heard a loud happy birthday from her parents.

Cmon Fenixi go take a bath and freshen up. I made your favourite dumplings and udon noodles with bun rieu.

Fenix hated how special and nice this day is. She quietly went to the table and had breakfast while her parents adored her.

”Look, its the brainless girls special day ” mocked the coercers at school. She didn had any friends but she also didn wanted to make one. She liked being bullied, and that was the weirdest thing for world but not for Fenix.

It was year starting of the school and new admissions came. One of the new admission students was a girl named Nova Elara was observant,mysterious,normal girl.

The teacher today gave the new admission students their seats and went away for zero s period in school schedule and Nova Elaras seat was right next to Shin Fenix.

”Hi,Whats your name? My name is Nova Elara. Actually, can u please show me what book publication and course is our biology book?? Pleaseeeee. ” Said Nova as soon as she sat down near Fenix.

Fenix without saying and looking just gave her the bio book.

”Thanks ” said Nova.

Nova found Shin Fenix very strange. The way Fenix sat with her mask on 24/7 and the way she didn even speak nor told her name was quite mysterious to Nova. She decided to make a bond of friendship with Fenix.

”Hey, whats your name? ” asked Nova starting the conversation that was about to continue without any reply but only questions as Fenix stayed silent and didn even looked at Nova.

”Are you mute? ” asked Nova politely again thinking that maybe Fenix is mute.

Fenix just nodded her head in disappointment and scoffed in disbelief.

”Finally ” cheered Nova, ”at-least you scoffed ”said Nova.

”Hey stupid nerd!Whats going on ? Chit chat with the new slut? Oh ” started one of the coercers.

”Hey slut,say something ” said another one holding Fenixs cheek harshly. Fenix yeeted the boys hand.

”Leave it ! This slut is like that only. Her future husband will have to shove his dick forcefully cuz she never opens her mouth. ” Laughed off the coercers.

”This ain funny you buttfaced students ” Said Novak being annoyed at the stupid abusive behaviour of them towards Fenix.

”What the heck did you say? ” Asked the coercers, it was clearly showing on their face that they were perfectly annoyed.

”Whatever I said is the truth, youll are truly buttfaced and let me tell you that youll have dung in your heads. ” As soon as Nova said this she got a loud headbarge on the iron desk. Her head was surely bleeding but her eyes purely showed hate towards those coercers.

”What will you do now? Tell the teachers ? ” Laughing it off they went away.

Nova got up to go to the dispensary when some students got up and went to her to tell her something creepy that made her more suspicious about Fenix.

”Don mess with them. Theyll soon disappear. ” Said the students.

”Disappear? What do yall mean?? ” Asked Nova being confused.

”Whoever bullys Fenix disappears on the day of her birthday and today is her birthday no one could find them after they disappear. Rumor has it that Fenix disappears them but no evidence was found when investigation was done. Fenix is possessed by a monster. Stay away. Are you new here in zermatt? ” told the students.

”Yeah Im new. I dont believe it. I know shes kind of creepy but I don think shes possessed and I don believe that Fenix disappears them, anyways see youll in next period gotta go to dispensary. ” Said Nova as she bid bye.

”So her name is Fenix. Sounds the most rarest name,never heard of it before. Nice name……

What if she really disappears them? Or is possessed by monster? ”Thought Nova.

”I wish I had a friend. Life feels so ugly with no friends. I thought if Id change school and place Id have a friend and have a peaceful life but nothing changed. ” Talked Nova to herself controlling her tears that were threatening to fall down because of her self respect being hurt by those coercers.

Fenix heard this on her way as the stairs to go to the dispensary and washroom was same and Fenix was going to washroom and Nova to dispensary.

”How stupid. Changing places in hope of having peaceful life. How foolish it is to wish for peaceful life when you can have chaos. ” Thought Fenix.

Fenix went into the washroom and as she entered

the students ran away being startled by her. Looking at the series or mirror and reflection she started having a hypothetical conversation with her reflection like always.

”Still not figured out but I hope Ill figure it out today when testing it on a human body. ” She said to her reflection. Fenix was talking about the deadly solution she created to bring the world to doom. Fenix stared at her reflection for a while with intense breathing and she started washing her hands aggressively. It was her urge to harm herself that she was controlling right now because she was at school and not at her home or lab.

”Is that true what the students said ? I think I will follow Fenix to see what she does. She surely is suspicious and creepy. Thats it Im gonna follow her and know about her. ” Decided Nova.

As soon as the clock 2:45 The bell rang and students start to disperse. Nova went behind Fenix and today Fenix did not went to the starship to catch the train. Instead she went behind the group of coercers who coerced her for whole year. Nova got more suspicious watching Fenix going behind them and she quietly followed.

Fenix one of the coercer sneakily covering the mouth so that she can scream, Fenix took her towards her favourite dark alley and removed her hand from the mouth of the girl and whispered with puppy eyes in an eerie tone ;

”Honey don scream, just call your other friends politely by telling them to come this way. ”

Oh hearing this the girl tried to hit Fenix and run away, snapping back at the girl Fenix said with a creepy smile on her face ;

”Honey don leave me, You think hitting me will work? It won work. Call them or else shall I kill you? ” Said Fenix with her hand on the girls neck.

The girl called the other girls and boys and

soon when they came in the dark alley searching for the girl, all Nova could see was Fenix pinching and twisting their neck nerve which made them unconscious.

”Is that ninja technique or shaolin?????? ” Did she just killed them or they just went unconscious? Does this mean shes the one who makes the bullys at school disappear? ” Thought Nova as shivers went down her spine, she kept following Fenix until she reached home and before entering home Fenix dragged the unconscious girls and boys that were carried on a dustbin cart into the lab and locked them.

Nova was watching all this from the campus hiding behind the tree and now she was more curious to know what Fenix did with the boys and girls who bullied her every year on her birthday.

Nova went towards the window of Fenixs bedroom to watch her and she carefully watched her observing every move that was suspicious according to Nova of her like, taking the journal out and writing something on it and Nova also noticed her behaviour at home which was more silent and some short talks with parents and how her parents loved her but she looked offended.

”Strange what she gonna do with them? ” Thought Nova

Nova watched Fenix going to the lab at 2:56 at night when everyone was asleep.

Nova watched Fenix tie the girls and boys to the chair and collecting the blood by cutting the skin over the hands and calves. Nova noticed how Fenix kept smiling and looked relaxed and felt happy torturing the half fainted and half awake boys and girls while they struggled to get rid of the pain Fenix was giving them by cutting the skin and taking the blood out and storing them in a sline bottle.

Nova kept her hand on her mouth forcefully so she won scream while the tears appeared in her eyes. It was Novas last that was threatening to haunt her again.

Nova watched how Fenixs lab looked terrifying with that extinct machine. Nova saw how their most of the blood was suctioned out leaving their bodies looking almost black. The boys and girls were begging to leave them but Fenix had something else in her mind. She switched the big strange machine and then took her deadly solution out and made the girls and boys drink some of it forcefully and then she took a sample of their nose swab and tried to keep it at the holder of the machine and setting the machine to produce the electrons and strings visible only till 3 metres and she tried to connect the swab with one of the strings and noticed how the electrons had some change in it and the strings started vibrating more vigorously.

She then noticed that it spreaded to the other near electron and blasted. At the same time the boys and girls started coughing and sneezing and screaming in pain, she noticed they were having shortness of breath and cardiac pain along with a smashing feeling in their brain and soon it seemed like someone sucked their soul out. Their body was left black and their eyes has blood, their brain was popping out of the cranium more like their head blasted.

Behind her the window of the lab was Nova noticing all this with tears and fear in her eye.

Fenix got out of the lab and got freshened up and went towards the window of the lab and catches Nova by her hand. Fenix had a psychotic smile on her face with fierce eyes. She saw how Nova was shaking and hyperventilating and continuously murmering to not to sell her.

”No ones selling you. Im not gonna do anything to you. You thought I didn noticed you from the alley. No matter how much quietly you walk like a cat, I have ears of dolphin and brain of a psycho.

Are you scared Nova? ” Asked Fenix in a terrifyingly scary tone which made Novas panick attack worse. Seeing Novas state Fenix was confirmed that Nova was having panick attack.

Fenix hugged Nova tight until she calmed down, Nova tried to get herself free from Fenixs hug but Fenix hugged her tighter and whispered in her ears;

”Don look,When I let go…..run for your life ”

Nova freezes in her spot being dead scared, it seemed like the words got stuck in her throat. Nova ran away crying and struggling to remove what was inside her head : her terrible past that came back today when she saw Fenix.

Today was again complicated for Nova. She had a struggle in her mind and continuous anxiety in her heart, fear in her soul and tremble in her body.

Fenix took the cranium of the girl in the lab mercilessly and shakes its part of mouth and whispered ;

” laugh with me , its the first step of my victory, its the first step of my success ” Fenix laughed psychotically as on the other side Nova trembled and cried with fear.

Humming the song of Oh my darling, Clementine Fenix smiled with the laughing cranium in her hand.
