Chapter 175 KYRIE’S LIFE

FIRA’S POV

I missed watering the plants in the Elemental Kingdom and in the Red Moon. When I said that to Pyro he surprised me by bringing various kinds of plants and all of those were flowering. I was smiling and humming as I took care of them.

“Mama, can I go to Kyrie?” Ember was pulling my skirt.

“I don’t think, he's there?” I peeked in our neighborhood. His house was just located next to our house.

“It’s his day off today, Mama.”

“Ahm.” I scratched my nose and brought down the water container. “Wait for me. I'll finish this.”

“Ah, huh! Yehey! I’m gonna eat ice cream again!”

After a few seconds, I was done. We walked to the road and tapped the doorbell. There was no one answer or opening the door. We waited for about five minutes.

“Love, I think there’s no一” My eyes bulged when Ember was climbing on the yard. “Ember, what are you doing?”

“Shh.” She put her forefinger on her lips. “Mama, I think there were uninvited visitors inside his house. I can see ninjas.”

“Huh?”I tiptoed and peeked on the inside. Ember was right, there were two people wearing all black. Only the eyes were exposed.

I held Ember0ls hand and lifted her in my arm. The kings were not around if I waited for them, Kyrie would be in danger.

I cupped the cheek of Ember. “Just stay still. Don’t move inside.”

“But Mama, I have the power of fire. I can help!”

“You’re too young, Love. Just trust Mama, okay?”

She pouted her lips as she was nodding her head. I brought her down on our gate and then gestured to her to go inside. I climbed into the yard and jumped inside. I alert my eyes and ears. I could hear them talking.

“Get all the things you can get. His house is full of treasures.”

I concluded that they were thieves. I closed my palms and settled down my knee and hands on the carpet. I closed my eyes as I was shifting into my wolf form. In the blink of an eye, I was a small wolf, but a dangerous one. My fang was sharp as a knife. My eyes were scary as if you were going to melt in just one stare.

I slowly walked to the back door and hid on the back of the sofa. Kyrie was sitting on the floor while his hands were fused and his mouth was covered with clothing. I showed my fang when I jumped. They were all shocked. I ran towards the thieves and threatened them that I would bite them. They were not afraid of me, they pointed a gun at me and fired it. Fortunately, I was fast and immediately dodge on my left and rode on the other one. I had no intention to hurt them. I was just showing him my wolf form as my way of making them scared. Good thing, it worked they ran as quickly as they could.

Kyrie was in surprise while he was viewing me. His eyes were widening. I walked closer to him, removed the clothing on his mouth, and released his hands from fusing. Then, I immediately turned my back on him. I was about to leave him when he talked.

“Thank you.”

My wolf form just nodded on him. Even if I talked he would not understand or hear me because that was just in my head. My feet stepped one and paused when he talked again.

“Why did you not bring Ember here So I’ll cook for lunch?”

I was in shock. If I were a human he would probably see how wide my eyes were. Did he know me? Why and how?

“I saw you changing with your wolf form in the front yard.” He stood p as the smile was formed on his lips. He brushed my fur in a gentle way. “Don’t worry, your secret is safe to me. Honestly, I found it cool.”

I could not change into human form. I would be naked in front of him, so I ran and jumped to the inside of our house. When I got back I was fully clothed. I caught him in the kitchen preparing ingredients for his recipe as if there was nothing happened.

“Are you okay?” I walked closer to him. I checked every corner of his face and shoulder.

“I’m fine. This is not the first time.”

“What do you mean?”

“Someone sneaked into my house one year ago. Then, last two months ago. I was not scared, they were just getting what they wanted in the house and then left. That’s it.” I grabbed a pineapple on the table and cut it into small pieces.

“Why are you letting them?” I was observing every move he made. He looked relaxed, but when he looked into my eyes there were mixed emotions unsaid.

“Fira, every person has a dark secret.” He placed water in my front. “Drink that.”

“Tell me.” I grabbed the water and drank that.

He guided me to sit in front of me while he was sighing. “I raised by the thief.”

I could not move when the revelation kept repeating in my head. He was looking down while playing with the peel of the pineapple.

“When I was young, my father couldn’t buy me food or even a school project. I was envying my fellow kids because their lunch box was always full. They had so much food and could get whatever they wanted.” He blew a frustrated sigh again and looked up. “One day, he brought me all of the food that I desire to eat. He even brought me some clothes. Starting that day, all of my requests were granted. Only to find out that my father was stealing in the bank to have money.” He prevented the formation of tears in his eyes. “He stole to buy me everything that I need. He did that because he loved me so much.”

He looked directly into my eyes and continued. “I have the biggest mistake of hating him. Of thinking that I hope he is not my father. I was just a little boy, not knowing anything until the content of the news was…him.” He took a deep breath. I knew that only one push and he would cry, but he made himself strong. “He died. The cops shot him in the head.”

I could not believe his story. It was so painful, just like the death of my mother and father. ]

Parents can do everything for their children. That is what I learned.

“I felt bad for you. I’m sorry for hearing that.” I held his hand and comforted him. I would not expect that he would go near me and hugged me. I just let him. That was how friends were, accompanying each other.

“Fira?”

My eyes widened when I saw Pyro was standing in the entrance of the kitchen while holding Ember’s hand.

“Pyro…”

It was too late, he punched Kyrie in the face.
