Chapter Twelve : Like A Phoenix Arise
CRIMSON QUINN SPEAKEASY LOUNGE
The Next Morning, I'm sitting at the round bar counter with my drink of rum. I take a swig of it and Sonya sits down beside me her bottle of cider.
"Day-drinking, aren't you?" Sonya asked, taking a swig of her bottle of cider.
"Yeah. Guess I needed something less alcoholic to start off my morning day." I said with a snicker.
Sonya and I exchange small playful smiles at each other. But she knows me well.
"I know you, Violet. And I know that Cody Asher is sort of worrying you." Sonya said.
"I'm not gonna fib and say that it's not. Cody Asher is up to something, I just know it." I told Sonya.
Sonya and I exchange worried looks at each other; she and I gently holds each other's hands on the round bar counter.

- 3RD POV -
At the Arrington Facility, Cody Asher sits on an air mattress in his cell room, cross-legged position with his eyes closed, humming a melody to himself.
His humming summons a few scorpions to crawl from outside the window and through it.
A scorpion uses its claw to cut Cody Asher's dampener zip-ties.
Cody Asher slowly opens his eyes and looks at the scorpion and gently pets it by soothing its head with his index finger.
"Very good, you know what to do, little scorpion." Cody Asher said, slowly getting up to his feet and grins, menacingly.
Cody Asher's cell room door falls down flat on the floor and he slowly walks out into the hallway.
The few scorpions crawls into the main room and starts stinging the orderlies with their tails, poisoning them with their scorpion venom.

ARRINGTON MORGUE
Cody Asher stealthy walks into the morgue and pulls out a drawer with Eleanor Reese's pale dead body covered with a cloth.
Cody Asher plants a kiss on her forehead, which makes Eleanor Reese gasps awake, upon resurrection.
𓆸𓆸𓆸
"How am I alive?" Eleanor Reese asked, having dressed herself in a pair of scrubs.
"I resurrected you with my dark voodoo magick." Cody Asher said, in his Australian accent. "Unfortunately, I could not heal your scrape wounds."
"I don't mind the scrape wounds." Eleanor Reese tells him. "But I do, however, would like some new clothes."
Cody Asher smiles a little. "And just out of curiosity, what will you do now, that you've been resurrected?"
"I'm still composing myself, Cody. But I'll figure out something." said Eleanor Reese.
Cody Asher and Eleanor Reese exchange slyly smiles at each other.

JEN'S DINER
That afternoon, Christine Avery and I are sitting in a booth table across from each other with our paper food trays of French fries and our milkshakes.
"So, have you sensed any uneasy vibes?" Christine Avery asked me.
"Not really nope." I said, and suddenly, senses anuneasy vibe from someone. "And I just did."
Christine Avery looks at her older twin sister Eleanor Reese. "Oh, crap."
I turn around in the booth table and looks at Eleanor Reese. "Oh, crap. Eleanor Reese?"
Eleanor Reese grins, menacingly. "Hi, Violet. Did you miss me?"
Christine Avery slides out of the booth table, upon looking at her diabolical psychopathic twin sister. "This can't be possible. You're deceased."
"Like a Phoenix arise." Eleanor Reese said, pointing to her scrape wounds on her forehead and cheekbones. "And I do love my scrape wounds, by the way."
Christine glances at me, noticed that I haven't said much of anything. "You need to leave."
"I'll see you guys around." Eleanor Reese said, walking out of the diner.
Christine Avery crouches down to me, worriedly. "You okay? You still have your chronic stress?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine." I said, reassuring her.

BENTON HOME
That evening, I'm in the kitchen, making myself a peanut butter jelly sandwich. Jonny slowly walks into the kitchen.
"Hey, Vinnie." Jonny said, sitting at the kitchen countertop. "You okay?"
"Eleanor Reese." I tell him.
"Yeah. Christine Avery told me and the guys that she's been resurrected somehow." Jonny said, a bit confused.
"My guess is Cody Asher." I said, taking a bite out of my peanut butter jelly sandwich. "He must've used his dark voodoo magick to resurrect Eleanor Reese."
"But are you okay?" Jonny asked me, worriedly, slowly walking around the kitchen countertop and gently leans backwards on the kitchen countertop. "You haven't been yourself?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine." I said.
Jonny and I exchange worried looks at each other. And my phone buzzes in my jeans pocket. I pulls my phone out and looks at it.
Christine Avery
I answer my phone. "Hey, Christine."
"Hey, Sweetums. The guys and I are at my loft apartment." Christine said on the phone.
"Okay, I'm on my way." I said, hanging up my phone.

CHRISTINE AVERY'S LOFT APARTMENT
That night, the Benton Gang and I are sitting around on the sofas.
"Eleanor Reese has been resurrected?" Cherry said, bewilderedly.
"Violet and I saw her ourselves at Jen's Diner." Christine Avery said.
"Cody Asher." I said.
"So, the Redheaded She-Devil returns from the deceased. How great." Cherry said, sarcastically.
"But Cody Asher's somewhat prophecy still remains." Ava said.
"I don't care about Cody Asher, I just want Eleanor Reese deceased again, even if I have to kill her myself." I said with a dark look in my brown eyes.
Christine Avery and the Benton Gang looks at me, worriedly.
