Alpha King of Fire

CARTER’S FOLLOWING US

FIRA’S POV

Pyro brought us to the mall. Ember was so excited, she would play in the Timezone. There was a huge stretch on my lips as I watched them playing basketball. Ember had a different trip when it came to sport. She wanted to try everything she saw.

She shot the last ball, it exactly hit the basket. “Yehey! I won!”

Obviously, Pyro was intentionally not placing the ball properly to make her daughter happy. He was a great father. “Yehey!” He imitated how Ember reacted, causing the kid to chuckle. Pyro could do anything for her child. In his few-word attitude, I could not see it when he was with us.

After playing basketball, they went to the gun game. My daughter was really unpredictable. Sometimes she was playing barbie, something a boy game. I did not mind, what mattered was her gladness.

Pyro and Ember tried different kinds of games. I was just observing them while sitting on the bench. They looked so good together even though Ember’s face did not really look like him.

“Dearest, I’m just gonna buy something to eat.” I gave him a peck on the cheek before I walked out.

I memorized the way going back to them when I traveled around the mall. There were so many choices of food. I wanted to try it all, especially the chocolate bread called Moshi Manjo. It was small with fillings of chocolate that were composed of rice flour or buckwheat. Surely, Pyro would like this because of the flavor. I bought that. I was elevated when I walked back to where they were.

“Sir, we can’t control the man. He’s eating all the food in my restaurant. Can we just call the cops?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Although I was far from the incident, I could hear a waiter talking to someone. They had a problem. Maybe I wanted to help therefore I heard that. I followed where was the sound of waves came from. I shut my eyes and concentrated. I went down at the escalator and found the back of the man standing while talking to the waiter.

“This is frustrating. The man would create a scandalous scene in the mall.”

“Kyrie?” I scrutinized his voice and found that he was him.

He twisted his body to look at his back. “Fira?”

“Oh, what’s the problem? Can I help?” I walked near him and peeked on his back. There was a man eating all the food in a restaurant. He was not paying all of those. The thing was he had a knife in his hand and threatened people that they would kill whoever came closer to him.

“Don’t draw closer! I will cut you with my knife!” He was pointing his knife at one of the guards.

“Don’t go there, Fira. It’s dangerous.” I ignored Kyrie’s warning to me. He held the phone and dialed a number. I guess he was calling the police.

I went near the scene and suddenly appeared in front of the man. “Are you hungry?”

The man started at my face. His eyes were sharp as if he would going to stab me with his knife at any moment. Instead of answering me, he continued what he was doing. He paused when I stretched my hand to give him the Mosh Manju that I bought. In the Human World, I realized that money was one of the important things. If you do not have this, you can’t it or buy the food you want. Unlike in the Elemental Kingdom, hunting was the main source of food for survival.

“Maybe you’re the worst person. You’re just starving. You can get mine.” I put the plastic on the table. He grabbed it immediately and ate it. The people around us were startled by what I did. The man stopped being violent, he placed down his knife and ingested the food peacefully.

When I saw the guard was trying to approach him and hit him with a baseball bat. I ran as fast as I could. In just a blink of an eye, the baseball bat was in my hand.

“Humans need to look at different points of view before being harsh to someone.” I threw the baseball bat at the side and guard the man while he was eating. When the other wanted to go near us, Kyrie commanded not to disturb him.

While staring at the man, he was a beggar, a dirty guy who was living in the street. I felt pity for him. Humans could not see how miserable his life was. How hard to have nothing in this place.

“I’ll pay for his food.” I talked to the man who I thought was a manager.

“Can you also pay the damage he caused? All of my customers are afraid! They ran without paying their orders!” He rushed towards me. “Can you, huh?” He pointed at my face using his forefinger.

“I’m sorry. I don’t have more money.” I answered with honesty.

He was about to push me on the forehead using his forefinger when someone twisted his finger. “Ouch, ouch, ouch!” He was twisting his body as he writhed in pain.

“Who told you to be harsh in my woman?” Pyro was grinding his teeth in annoyance.

“Stop, it hurts!”

Pyro pushed him. He laid on the floor and almost had a bump on his head if there was no obstacle. “I’ll report you to the police! You!” He pertained to Pyro. “You and you!” He pointed at me and then to the man.

“How much do you need?” Kyrie walked near us with his hands inside his pocket.

“I’ll just give you money for settlement.” What a cool man in his formal while long polo shirt, light brown pants, and black shiny shoes. Kyrie grabbed the man in his arms and talked to him in private.

Pyro glanced at me with his shaking head. “You卪ade me anxious. Next time speak who you want to meet so I would not be overthinking wherever the damn are you.” He grabbed Ember, located her in his arms, and walked out from me.

I burst out of harsh air. Okay, I smelled fight again.

“Pyro!” I rushed to hold his arm. He just removed my hand and walked faster. I peeked at Kyrie and then at the beggar.

I had no clue. Living in this place was complicated. I was about to speak to Kyrie when I saw someone at the back of the crowd. My mouth was barely opened when the figure of Carter was there. My body shook in dread. He smirked at me. I concluded that we could not escape or hide in Human World.
