Pheonix by Mackinze R. Smith (summer reading list .TXT) 📖

my name is Phoenix, my parents were shadow hunters. Shadow hunters are Demon hunters who are half mortal and half Angel. I live in the old abandon Eastern state Penitentiary. My brother who is also my best friend is only a year older than me tho, My brothers name is Cross. We are assassins for hire. We do the job that most people wont. We don't ask questions we just take out the target. People could say we kill for a living. Cross and I were on our longest mission when i met the Vampire. His hair was a short cut dark brown, he had pale skin and had memorizing pale green eyes. He wore and old silver cross necklace around his neck it hung half way down his chest. I've often wondered why he wore that. It was around midnight, when i went to him, out n' that road. I asked him " what are you doing out here at this time? ", " I could ask the same about you? " he answered. I then asked him what his name was. He said " my name is Ralph, what is your name?" he asked with a seductive slur. " I replied " my name is not to be know." He begged me to tell him my name I finally gave into his begging, said " My name is Phoenix. " Ralph smiled his cocky smile and he said " that is such a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman." I blushed and he smirked at me, then i asked " you really think i am beautiful? ", " yes i do babe " he said.I turned away from him and was silent for a few minuets.then I turned back around and said " Don't call me that.", Ralph asked " why cant I call you that?"That's when i started yelling. I yelled " because i am not your girlfriend!" I knew it was my chance to get away then so i jumped into the trees and ran across the branches till I reached cross.I hadn't noticed Ralph had followed me, until he kissed me. Cross freaked and fell out of the tree and hit his head.i had to bite Ralph's lip to get him to let me go.When i jumped to the ground next to my brother he was unconscious and his head was bleeding.My medical training kicked in and i ripped Cross's shirt and tied it around his head.Ralph came down beside me and we sat there until cross woke up. When Cross woke up he almost freaked again but before he could Ralph said " Dude,I am so sorry you girlfriend is very beautiful, are you alright?" Cross and Me were laughing so hard,Ralph's Expression didn't help us. Ralph was so confused that I had to explain that Cross was my brother.That's when Ralph started to walk away mumbling to himself.I grabbed his arm and turned him so that we were face to face. That's when cross got up and said "i think i am going to give you guys some privacy", jumped back up into the trees. "I LIKE you ALOT Ralph, but my job doesn't allow me relationship time. that's when Ralph asked me out. i was trying to control my emotion, but i just couldn't. Ralph took hold of my face and pulled me toward him and kissed me.
