A busy street...
A lot of stall was left unsecured...
And just a reach off hand, I grabbed a number of fruits...
No one look my way, so I acted normal....
"I did it, look red!"
I happily show the fruits hiding in my cloth...
Where behind a wall heading to the dumpster where I used to live...
Used to live...I'm now with people i could call family...
"Only six, I got thirteen"
Red boasted lifting his glasses...
"How did you fit it there?"
I asked he looked at his cloth and said to me
"Trade secret?"
"Ehhhh, you can't say that were partners"
Hearing my word he giggled...
Using my previous place as a guide we arrived at a run down house
What welcomed us in that house is our family
"What did you get?"
One of them asked i lifted my cloth which they reacted
"That's a lot"
Red approached the kids and said
"You think that was a lot, look at mine"
"wooow"
I placed the fruit in the table...when the sun is up the table is in the side of the house...
That way the sunlight won't touch our food...
"Jar, heading there again"
I looked and saw Arwin
"Yes" I said...
"Is it really exciting there...well look at what I bought"
Seeing the red bag in his hand i couldn't say i was that happy, can we even eat that?,
"oh!"
"Can't you react a little stronger"
Arwin said...
"No can do, boss is waiting for me"
I said as I ran away from him...
in the side of our rundown house is a layer of garbage....
Hiding behind it is a stair heading underground....
It smells bad but it's nothing compared to the place I used to live...
I could see rat running in the pipe...
I could hear the droplets of water..from the pipe that was far and near me...
First time coming here is scary...but time solve almost everything...
"Awesome!!"
"I bet on the red!"
"Me, me I bet on the blue!"
The sound of cheers, I'm getting near to where I'm suppose to go...
A large arena await me...
The spectators are watching from above betting on who will win...
Inside the ring is a kid with a tattered cloth...he's wearing a red headband...
He's enemy is a scorpion monster...its not large but its stinger could kill him if he got hit...
The end of the stinger has a blue ribbon attach to it...
The hype was up...
The kid only have a knife and his body was close to dying...
While the scorpion is still alive and energetic...
The battles flow changed when jar arrived...
"Boss"
He mumbled when he saw the kid inside the ring...
He aimed his palm toward the dying boy and seconds after it glowed...
"....Jar is here"
The boss mumbled as he take a stance...
He charged toward the scorpion...
The tail was going for the kid at the time of his charged
The knife that the boss was holding begin to glow and as soon as it touch the scorpions tail...
It got caught in a fire...
Making it easy to slice it off...
With the pain in his back the scorpion lost its mind and charged toward the boss...
But died when a hot knife goes through its head
"huff huff huff"
The scorpion lost its life and the boss raised his arm...
"...With that the winner is Reeed!!"
"Who would have thought he will have a chance."
The voice of the commentator...
"Amazing kid"
"Damn you kid"
"I lost my money"
The cheers of the audience...
In a certain room
"Here's your pay kid"
A frog man said to the boss...
"Thanks"
The boss said as he check the content of the check...
"Let's go jar"
He said to me...
This place is an illegal arena...
"Your power is always amazing, with this we could fix our house"
He said...I was happy that he praised me...
He was like a father while the other kids is like my siblings...
The nanny said I would like to have a family...she wasn't lying when she said that after all
Before we leave boss ask me to heal him, he don't want to worry everyone he said...
He was fighting in the arena long before I arrived...
And when he invited me, he doesn't know i have this power...
Only me the boss and wite have a power the others don't have one...
"All done, boss"
I said as the glow in my palm faded...
"This power of yours really is amazing"
"hehehe, thanks"
We arrived at the house...
What await us is the warm smile of my family...
"Boss"
"Jar"
"The two is here"
They said as they organize the table and the food we collected through out the day...
"Boss!"
One of the kid moved his chair toward the boss and said...
"Look"
He reached his hand..it contains a number of glow stone...
It's a currency we used here...
"Where did you get this?"
The boss asked which the kid responded...
"I was cleaning shoes boss!"
The boss brush the kids hair and said
"That's amazing, you could buy a toy with that"
"Really!"
The kid said excitedly which the boss nod...
We ate the food in the table...we didn't get full but even with that everyone was happy
Even if your not full at least your not gonna die of hunger...
Knock... knock..
A knock on our door...
How could someone find this place...I thought.
The other kids also panicked...
The boss calmly approached the door and said
"What do you need"
"...We are here to inform you that we found a belonging in a crime scene, and the victim lived here"
Died...who?
"Do you know the name?"
Our boss said...I could see his body trembling ...what's happening
"Umm, yes sir, the named of the dead soul is Wite, do he live here"
The kids was about to answer when the boss look at us
He's eyes was filled with tears..
'don't say anything' the boss said nodding his head...
"No no one with that name lived here, maybe it was a long time ago"
"I see...sorry for taking your time"
