Revenge Journey Of The Phoenix

Adapting

She didn't die...

But how? What happened after that scene under water? And what happened to the real owner of this body? According to the details in her head now, the girl was hit by a car on her way home from school. Due to the strong impact of being knocked down, she even fell, which was the cause of her death. And luckily, if what is happening now can be called luck, her soul occupied this body.

"You're life is really difficult. " she murmurs.. "But even though it was very difficult, your mother didn't abandon you, unlike mine." She began to think. "Jenny... I now the owner of this body. You love your mother, so I promise I will help her. I will also love her like you do. I will give her everything that you don't." She clenched her fist.. "And those jerks, I will make sure they pay triple. No, I will make them crawl to the ground. The entire family of Reyes and DeCordova!" She said, with her chest full of anger. She fixed herself and started to get dressed.

"Jen-Jen, are you okay? I'm done paying the bills at the hospital. We can go home now. " Her mom... She's back.

".... Yes Ma, Lui must be looking for a car." She took the bag that was placed near the hospital bed.

"I'll lift it, get out, don't lift it and your fracture might come back." She grabbed the bag she was holding.

"But I'm okay?"

"Oh no! Go outside and I'll just get it, wait for me outside the door."

Margaret smiled, "Okay.. " then she went out.

"Ready to go back home?" It was Doc Cervantes' voice.

She turned back. She was right. The man walks closer to her. He is no longer wearing a hospital uniform. Wearing white long sleeves with the two buttons open at the neck, and the sleeves folded up to the elbow. Black slacks with black shoes, fair skin, care with any lotion probably.

"Handsome.." she whispered to herself. "Yes.. I'm just waiting for Mama, getting the bags." She answered the question.

"Am also going out.. If you don't have a ride yet I can drive you all guys home."

"Thank you, but Lui already got a car. She's just waiting for us to come out." She politely declined the offer.

"Well, if you........"

The door of the room she was occupying suddenly opened.

"Jenny, Let's go.... Doc!!!" Her mother immediately smiled when she saw the doctor her daughter was talking to. "Thank you doc, I'm really grateful for your help when my daughter came here." Her mother even bowed while thanking the man.

"That's okay Ma'am, it's normal for us as doctors to help those who have an accident." David said with a smile.

"But...."

"Ma, we should leave.. Maybe Lui is impatient to wait." Margaret interrupted what her mother wanted to say more. "I'm sorry doc, but we have to go. We might be late if we don't start moving" She turned to the man.

"Then, okay. Rest well. Don't do anything hard.. And don't forget to call me if anything happens."

"Well do.. "Ma, let's go. Lui is waiting."

"oh!! Okay-okay, doc, thank you again." Her mother said goodbye.

"Be careful on the way" He waved to them too.

Margaret just nodded and walked away without looking back.

Outside the Hospital,

"Jenny! Auntie!! Here..!" Lui shouted while waving. She was standing on the other side of the road next to the taxi that was probably their car. "It's been a while since you've been out, did something bad happen?" the girl asked worriedly.

Nothing.. We just met Doctor Cervantes in the hallway of the Hospital. " she answered while approaching.

An elderly man got out of the taxi. The driver.

"You can get in now. We have to hurry because we might get caught up in heavy traffic on the highway." The man explained.

"En." She agreed

There is really traffic in Manila especially at night. Rush hour, so there are many cars on the road. One of the country's biggest problems.

They got in and the car started moving. Her mother keeping the conversation with the driver. Lui started to feel sleepy and finally fell asleep. She remains silent.. Thinking and starting to adapt the situation. Based on the memories of the host of the body. They live in a squater.. In the Bagong Silang. It is said that after street dwellers from India and China were relocated there from the 1970's onwards. Her mother is a vendor.. Small stall that serves as support in their daily life. But that's not all. The investment that her mother uses is from debt. Loan sharks.. They are cruel.. They will get their money from you no matter what. They have people. Goons to be exact.

"Your life is difficult" Margaret whispered to herself. "But no need to worry.. It's easy for me to overcome this situation.. Since I am the eyes of the PHOENIX. Earning money is easy as pie. " she said smiling to herself. "Wait for me Family Reyes and Family DeCordova.. I'm coming for you soon..." She folded her arms and closed her eyes.

"Jenny.. Lui.. Wake up. We're here." Her mother called.. She was dozing off.. She turned to Lui.. The girl was confused.

"Are we home yet?" It's Lui.

"Yes.. You and Jenny can get out now and get the other bag.."

"Yeeeyyy!!! We can finally rest well!" Lui jumped out of the taxi. "Jenny, let's go! Let's go!"

"En. Coming.." She answered with a smile.

"Thank you sir!" her mother thanked the driver because they got home safely.

The driver just nodded and started the taxi again and left completely. Margaret looked at the door near her..

That's their home for sure.. She secretly clenched her fist. New home, new people to mingle with, new body, new identity, new life. And also... New beginning.

"Jeniva!!!!!" Is your daughter okay?" They turned around at the same time at that loud yell. A fat woman was walking towards them. She was carrying a small bag.

"Sely!! By the mercy of God. That happened to her was not that bad." her mother happily answered...

"Ma!!!" Lui shouted as she ran closer to the fat woman. "What do you bring?" She asked.

"This child, why are you yelling?" She said to her daughter. "Help your auntie and Jenny put the bags in. And I'll also put in the jackfruit that I cooked. I immediately stepped aside your shares when you called and told Jenny is going to be discharged now." She pushed her daughter

"Jenny, are you okay? Is there anything painful with you? I was worried about you and your uncle." She asked her full of love and concern. The uncle the woman refers to is the construction worker, the woman husband. She knows because of the help of Jenny's memories.

"Thank you auntie, don't worry, I'm really fine." She looked at the plastic bag in her hand. "Is that a dish?"

"Oh yes! It's your favorite, isn't it? You and my Lui are the same. That's why I cooked it. " The lady answered happily. "Come in and get something to eat. I went into your house earlier and cooked the rice."

"I'm still bothering you Mare, Thank you.."

"What's up with you? You're our family... Don't be thankful... Let's go in, let's go in!.. Lui! Hurry up there and get something to eat too. Come with Jenny and your auntie Jeneva."

"Im coming!" Lui carried the small bag into the house. She also followed.

"Then... Let's begin adapting your life Jenny." Margaret whispered to herself as she stepped inside the house.

In the inside is a small studio type room. there has a kitchen, and the CR door is in the corner next to it. The table is in the other corner next to a small and old refrigerator. At the end was a bed that was probably her mother's bed. This space... Just as big as her own shower room in the Reyes family. She bit her lower lip. She will leave this place together with her host's mother, and Lui's family. That's a promise to Jenny for borrowing her body.

She went inside.. And joined the three who were busy setting the table so they could eat. And they started eating. After eating, she insisted that she will wash what they used to eat. Her mother was forced and agreed. While Lui and Aling Sely said goodbye and are now going home so they can rest.

"Wash your body and sleep, baby. I'm just going to prepare this banana so I can sale it tomorrow. You will be going to school tomorrow? Are you sure you do it?" Her mother is still worried.

She approached her and held both of the lady's hands.

"Mom, thank you.. You know, I'm very lucky because you're my mom. I know it's hard too, but you still didn't give up. You never let me down." The words Margaret uttered were words she knew Jenny wanted to say for her mother. "I love you.. And I promise, I will do everything so that we can leave this house."

"What are you saying..." her mother answered crying. "I love you because you are my child, why would I leave you? I am ready to make sacrifices for you." The mother gave her a tight hug. "Did you know, I was so scared when I heard what happened.. It was like heaven and earth fell on me. I don't want to lose you my baby. " and she really started crying..

Margaret returned the hug to her mother now. Thinking... "Your real daughter is gone.. But her body remains.. So I will fulfill her duty as your daughter from now on."

"Thank you..." That was the only word she could say now.

"Oh hey! Lie down now. Get some rest. If you want to go to school tomorrow, you can. Just be careful, okay?"

"En..." She replied smiling to her mother.

She fixed herself up and lay down on her mother's bed.. And she closed her eyes... But when she closed her eyes, she suddenly went to a place she didn't know...

"What.....???" She murmured

Her surroundings are full of things that sparkle.. It's like ruby.. Diamonds and gold.. But in the middle of that nest-like thing.. There's a fire.. No it's not just fire..

It's a BIRD that burning on fire.?????
