The tale of the shadow phoenixes

Chapter fourteen.

James hurried to the musician’s house. He was about to enter when he hear a soft, beautiful song echoing quietly through the musician’s house. Out of curiosity James vanished then appeared in the shadows of the house. The person singing was….Arianna. As she worked she sang:

“Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three. Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be if we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. Are you, are you coming to the tree? Where they strung up a man they say murdered three. Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be if we met at midnight in the hanging tree.”

She ended it on that note. Her voice had been pure, beautiful, and sweet. “So you DO sing.” James said softly. Arianna started. “James Aragorn Riddle! You scared me!” She exclaimed. James smiled sheepishly. “Sorry. I came back for my chess game.” James said. Arianna had blushed a dark maroon. “Sorry I startled you. Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone I heard you.” James said sincerely. Arianna studied him for a second then nodded gratefully. “…but you are a really good singer, with a really beautiful voice.” Arianna shrugged. “I don’t know…” she began. “But I know.” James said, grinning. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you overcome you’re..stage fright. I’ve had a lot of experience…Tom’s socially awkward.” James said. Arianna laughed. “Riggghhht.” She said. “We’ve better go. I don’t wanna be late for supper, my mom will have my hide.” James said. They hurried off, talking all the way and James? He’d forgotten all about his chess game.
