She saw black spots dance in front of her eyes and she felt herself slip away into darkness. "Phoenix?" she breathed out softly.

Phoenix finished undoing the straps on her wrists. "I'm here." he murmured. "I don't know how to get you home." Phoenix said, more to himself than to her.
"Home? I was kinda sure that I don't belong in your home," she muttered, her eyes closing on their own accords.
"Yeah, well I can't leave you anymore." Phoenix said. As gently as he could, he picked her up.
She winced slightly, feeling herself drift away. "But you will, eventually."
"No, I won't." Phoenix muttered. He ground his teeth together as he pulled out his wings. "God, this hurts."
"Tell me about it," she muttered softly, sarcastically. She wanted to sleep, but at the same time, she wanted to stay awake. "The bond was already broken before you came here, Phoenix."
She opened her eyes, using the last strength she had. "You made it very clear to me on that night," she stared in his eyes. "So I don't really understand why you would come. Why you would care. After all, when I would be locked up in this pretty palace, you could go back to heaven, where you want to be."
Phoenix sighed. "I am not leaving you here in this palace or here on earth. I'm not going anywhere. Rose, I refuse to lose you by someone else or my leaving."
Was she hallucinating? That had to be it, it had to be the blood loss. She let go off his hand and closed her eyes again. "I'm crazy," she breathed out softlt before passing out.
Phoenix growled in frustration. He set off, flying to his house as quickly as possible.
Rose shivered, her body was getting colder by the minute.
Phoenix stumbled as he hit the ground. "Ari!" he called. "Help me." Ari came running out. She winced at the blood seeping through Rose's shirt. "Take her inside and set her on the couch." she said.
Rose awoke in cold sweat. "It hurts," she grumbled weakly.
Ari looked over at her. "I know, Rose." she muttered. "Phoenix...knock her out. The sewing will not be pleasant." Phoenix nodded, quickly blacking her out.
Rose felt hersf black out, and she sighed of relief. That was better.
Phoenix placed Rose on her bed. Ari had finished sewing her up and now she needed to rest.
Rose woke up, cringing as she felt her side. "Phoenix?" she mumbled.
"How bad is it?" she muttered.
"Not life threatening." he answered.
"Well, that's good, at least," she muttered. "I guess."
Phoenix nodded. "You need to rest." he said.
"I'm fine," she tried to sit up and winced.
Phoenix shook his head. "You're stubborn, as all heck."
"You know me so well,"she grinned teasingly at him. She shook her head and hugged the blankets closer to her. "I wanted to ask you something."
"Why did you save me?" she bit her lip as she looked at him.
Phoenix crossed his arms. "Because I love you." he said softly.
She bit her lip. "I love you too, but this isn't going to work, Phoenix," she said quietly.
Phoenix took a deep breath. "If that's what you want." he muttered.
"You know it's not what I want," she told him, biting her lip hard. Tears were trying to overwhelm her again. "I can't be with someone who will leave me anyway."
"I'm not leaving you!" Phoenix exclaimed, throwing his hands up. "Dammit, Rose. I am not going to leave you. I may want heaven but I want you more."
Her eyes widened in confusion. "Y-You aren't?" She stammered, looking at him.
"No, I'm not." he said. Phoenix sighed and walked over to her. He sat beside her, gently putting his forehead against her's. "I love you. If any one thing was going to keep me on earth, it's you."
Rose watched him as he pressed her forehead to hers. She closed her eyes. "I love you too. I... I'm glad," she breathed out softly, feeling utterly relieved.
Phoenix wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled his nose into her hair.
She hugged him close and buried her face in his neck. She never wanted to lose him.
Phoenix pulled away after a moment. "You still need to rest." he said.
She groaned and shook her head. "No I don't," she grumbled. ((I have your profile picture as a poster! :D))
Phoenix smiled a bit. "Yes, you do. Ari will tell you the same thing." he said.
"No she won't," she muttered, shaking her head.
Phoenix chuckled. "If she was the one to have me bring you up here solely to rest, than yes. She will."
"I don't want to rest!" she pouted at him.
Phoenix shrugged. "Too bad. I will keep you company but you're going to rest."
She glared at him, crossing her arms slightly.
