BXBX NOVEL Chapter 183 Protect Those Who Are Dear To You
FaMo couldn\'t contain his happiness. A while ago he was sulking inside that room but after knowing that they won\'t be sleeping in Tristan\'s room tonight his mood suddenly turned 180 degrees.
However, if Famo was rejoicing then this time Zhen-Zhen was the one sulking in her room. She tried her best to look okay in front of FaMo.
"Come, FaMo, let\'s sleep?" Zhen-Zhen called FaMo to join her on the bed.
FaMo gladly complied with her as he jumped on the bed. Since they were now alone, FaMo could do what he wanted.
Then suddenly yesterday\'s incident crossed his mind. He needed to inform Zhen-Zhen of what he had seen in the street yesterday night.
"Zhen-Zhen, there\'s something I need to tell you. I didn\'t get a chance to tell you this yesterday because I suddenly felt sick."
Zhen-Zhen leaned her back on the headboard of the bed while listening to FaMo. She asked him to tell her everything.
"The reason I disappeared yesterday was that I traced the source of the unknown force that I felt in the nearby area. And do you know what?" FaMo paused to give her a little bit of suspense.
"What?" Zhen-Zhen asked, urging him to continue.
"I saw a man wearing a black robe. But I didn\'t see his face, only his back. Zhen-Zhen, we need to be careful. I think there are also supernatural beings here." FaMo warned Zhen-Zhen.
"And the most interesting thing I discovered… that man has fire element within him. I could feel it even though we are a few meters apart." FaMo had become serious now.
Zhen-Zhen frowned after hearing that, "FaMo, do you think that the guardian warriors can follow us here?"
"I\'m not sure Zhen-Zhen. I failed to identify that person because I was not able to get near him. I had to go back to you yesterday. You were calling me already," he explained.
"Oh, I\'m sorry about that FaMo. I didn\'t know that you were following someone. But what you did was dangerous. What if that person was a guardian warrior and he would do something to you?" Her voice was filled with concern for FaMo.
"Don\'t worry, Zhen-Zhen. I was in disguise as a cat, remember? Besides, I can protect myself. I already recovered my lost powers."
"But you are right, we didn\'t know if he is an enemy or not. Zhen-Zhen, I think we should start our training. You should learn to control your power. I will also test how strong is your power as of this moment." FaMo paused for a moment, recalling something.
"Your father also gave you the power of other fire dragons. Can you summon them, Zhen-Zhen? Can you also feel them or communicate with them in your subconscious?"
Zhen-Zhen shook her head. "You\'re the only fire dragon whom I was able to communicate with."
"Don\'t worry, Zhen-Zhen. Once you learn to control your power and strengthen it, I know you will be able to summon the other fire dragons. We need them. We are powerful if we are together."
Zhen-Zhen could recall in her memory the other fire dragons who protected her. Just like FaMo, she also wanted to see them once again.
With a look of determination in her blue eyes, Zhen-Zhen said, "I understand FaMo. I will train hard and learn to control my power. If the guardian warriors follow us here just to kill me I will fight back to protect myself and the people close to me."
Zhen-Zhen balled her hands into fists. "I don\'t want them to use nor harm the people important to me just like what they did a hundred years ago when they used me and Mo-Mo to threaten Fa-Fa."
A satisfied smile played across FaMo faced when he heard that from Zhen-Zhen. He would teach her with all his might so that she would get stronger to protect herself and the people close to her.
"That\'s right Zhen-Zhen. Protect the people who are dear to you. And I will do my job to protect you."
Zhen-Zhen gently patted FaMo\'s head. She felt touched because of FaMo\'s overprotectiveness towards her.
"We can start training tomorrow," FaMo suggested to her.
"Alright, FaMo. But we need to hide this from Tristan. Let\'s train behind his back. He prohibits me from using my powers."
"Okay. I like that. Tristan doesn\'t need to know about this." FaMo said while smiling from ear to ear.
FaMo and Zhen-Zhen had no idea that while they were discussing these things, the man in a black robe was just lurking around outside Tristan\'s Condo unit.
"It\'s time to make my move." the man mumbled.
**********
Meanwhile, the person Zhen-Zhen and FaMo were talking about was kept turning and tossing on his bed right now.
He couldn\'t sleep because he was missing someone\'s presence. He missed Zhe-Zhen\'s warmth and her sweet scent.
"Argh! This feeling is worse than the nightmare I had every night. I want her to be by my side, not like this." Tristan couldn\'t help but complain.
"Why am I being like this? I am becoming more dependent on Zhen-Zhen... Sigh!"
Tristan turned to his side, looking at the closed door of his bedroom as if he was waiting for someone to come.
\'Wifey… come back to me. Sleep here with me… I need you here.\'
Tristan didn\'t know how long he stayed like that in his position.
One hour…
Two hours…
Three hours…
Four hours…
Five hours…
**********
In the silence of the night, Tristan woke up. Still, there was no Zhen-Zhen beside him. The room felt so cold without her. He checked his time on his cellphone. It was already 3:00 o\'çlock in the morning.
Tristan stood up. He decided to check Zhen-Zhen in her room and lie beside her. Using the flashlight of his mobile phone, he got out of his room going towards Zhen-Zhen\'s room.
"So unfair... Why she could easily sleep without me while I\'m suffering without her presence?"
Then Tristan smiled inwardly. "Hmm, She will be surprised once she wakes up this morning and she will see me lying beside her."
Tristan had never expected that once he entered her room he was the one who would be surprised. No… it was beyond surprise… because he saw something very frightening in his entire life.
