The Unexplained

Hey guys! It's Nyx, and welp...

Another song thing! This is Phe's song, and while it may not really revolve around her personality, it's more about the challenges in life she faced as she grew up. She was constantly bullied for her appearance and often turned away on the streets for that same reason.

So yeah! Hope you guys enjoy the chapter as well!!

-Phe-

Abby teleports us right onto the porch and I get us inside to see Cas lying on the couch, obviously in pain, and Jack next to her, muttering words in elvish. She is unconscious. His head snaps up, and his eyes widen with worry.

"Shit, Phe, help her over to a chair." I manage to do so, and I step back, leaving Abby in Jack's capable hands. I move to walk away, but Abby turns her head to me.

"Stay."

I blink and turn. "Sorry?..."

She hisses as Jack prods the wound, before looking at me. "What happened?...what did he want with you?"

I purse my lips, clasping my hands and I slowly sit in one of the comfortable chairs. "He...He's an element bender..." I whisper. Jack's head shoots up, his eyes wide, and I quickly continue. "Modified..."

Jack scowls, then continues with what he's doing. "Then he's not one of you. Don't call him one."

Abby sighs, patting Jack's head in the way a woman would do to a small child. "Go on." She prods.

"He wanted to...reproduce..." I mutter, "Create a whole new generation and stuff...whether I wanted to or not. I get that he could always use his blood to modify more, or mine, but he told me there had to be pure ones in the mix?...in a way?... I don't know..."

She looks a bit disturbed, but says nothing else.

I look down at my hands. "I-If you hadn't come..." I trail off, and she glares at the floor.

"I would never leave a friend behind." This is her response, and for a couple minutes, none of us speak.

"Your grandfather is Satan...isn't he? Your flames...they're not blue...but..." My simple questions pierce the quiet atmosphere.

She tenses this time, and I see Jack's jaw clench. For a moment, I see the same anger that had filled her eyes earlier in the Facility flash in her eyes. A muscle ticks in her jaw as she stares down at what Jack is doing. There is another long moment of silence before she answers me.

"Maybe...although, there's no point in lying to you, is there?" She looks at me and smiles slightly. "You're much too smart, seeing as you've already connected the dots." She looks down. "My flames may not be blue, as you said, but I am his granddaughter. I am not proud of where my power comes from, nor am I proud of the people I once called parents...but I try not to let that control me." She looks at the unconscious form of Cas, who is lying peacefully on her side, her hair splayed over her face. "I've always just wanted to keep her safe...which is kind of stupid, in a way for...strange reasons..." She laughs softly. "My mother...whose name I would rather not say, never cared for Cas, so I can be glad for that. She wouldn't have hurt her and tried to control her like she did me...but our father..." She trails off. "That's a story for another time..."

Silence falls and I clasp my hands, ignoring the slight pain from the few, small wounds Merlin had inflicted upon me. I blink, then my eyes widen slightly. "W-Wait...Jack, what're you doing here?" I ask, realizing that he's not supposed to be.
