Chapter 155
THE ESCAPE BATTLE III
FIRA’S POV
I could feel the stinging sensation in my back. I could not breathe even though I tried so hard. My eyes were settled on my father. “Dad?” I could not shout. I had no courage to do that.
Before I dropped on the ground, Pyro’s wolf form catch me. “Dad.” I was whispering that over and over again while the tears were rolling in my cheek. I forced myself to grip the shoulder of Zephyrus. “Dad, my dad, please単et him. Protect him and make sure he’ll be alive.” I coughed with blood on my mouth.
I could see the sadness in Zephyrus’ eyes. He held my father and changed into his wolf form. Even if I did not hear a response, I believed he would do that. I inhaled deeply and exhaled harshly. I was doing my best not to close my eyes.
“Fira, please stay with me.” I was hearing the thoughts of Pyro. I was glad, he could control the monster in him. I was opening and closing my eyes. I was managing to breathe in and breathe out.
The wolf of Pyro ran as quickly as it could. Before we finally reached the boundaries, he whispered. “Fire.” The flames swallowed the whole area, causing to the guards to not come with us. They could not catch us.
I shook my head when the vision was started to be blur. The darkness was going on and off to my eyes. I could see my world was spinning. “Pyro?” I was sobbing when I felt that my life would not take long. I did not want to die.
I have a daughter.
“Hold on, please, Dearest! We’re almost there!” His thoughts kept repeating to me to not give up.
I gasped for air. I managed myself to be strengthened. I would not die! I won’t!
I thought of the moment when I gave birth to Ember. Even though Pyro was not beside me at that time, I remained imagining that he was there. That was the happiest day of my life. Janus was there, holding my hand in all the pain that I was experiencing. I cried so loud, I screamed so bad. However, I surpass everything.
This escape battle was the same as the battle of giving birth to a child.
Fight, Fira. Fight.
I closed my eyes and only saw the adorable face of Ember. She was smiling on me while hugging me and saying, “I love you, Mama!”
“I love you, too, Ember.” I shook my head when the dizziness was consuming me. I need to fight!
I hugged the wolf form of Pyro and whispered in his ear. “I love you, Dearest.”
“I love you more than you love me, Dearest. Stay awake!” His thoughts were panicking. He doubled and even tripled the speed.
“I can’t一” I collapsed. I could hear Pyro was calling me in his thought, but I could not hold back.
*****
When I woke up, I had an inhaler nebulizer in my nose down to something inside my body. I blinked two times when the light was filling my vision.
Am I dead?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Damn. You’re awake!” A sigh of relief was let out from Pyro when he walked closer to me. I had a hard time breathing in and out. My body was aching so bad, especially my back that was beaten by Jina.
“Mama!” Ember climbed on my bed and then hugged me so tight. She was sobbing. “I can’t take this if you died, too. Papa Janus leaves me. I don’t want my Mama to go.”
“Shh. Your mother won’t pass away.” Pyro held her back.
I realized we were in the Hospital. In the human hospital. Last time, Zephyrus talked about being here because her woman was taking her job as a nurse. I really had no clue, but he explained to me very well what was the hospital looked like and what a nurse did. It was like a clinic in the Elemental Kingdom.
I was about to caress the back of Ember when my father popped inside my head. I looked side by side. When my eyes viewed Zephyrus, my attention went to him. I opened my mouth, but I could not talk. The pain was severe.
Pyro noticed that I wanted to talk. “Just tell me what you want to say. We can hear your thoughts.”
I nodded my head and then say it in my head. “Where’s the father?”
My eyes were focused on Zephyrus. It was not his usual to look down. Therefore, I had a guess in my head, but I did not want to predict it.
“Where’s my father!” I repeated in my head. When they remained silent, I stood up recklessly even though it pained me so much. I could not move when Eira started to cry. The sound of her sob echoed in the room.
“Hey, it’s not good in the baby.” Colden embraced her compactly. Her face was buried on his chest while hugging him so tight.
I aggressively took off the oxygen in my mouth. Although I was unable to breathe easily. I managed to speak. “Where is he!”
Ember cried out loud, causing me to surrender. Pyro shook his head. He enveloped I and Ember with his big arms. “I can take care of the two of you. I promised I一”
“I need my father! Dad!” I was like a crazy woman who was screaming, looking for him, but that would not make difference.
“She passed away, Fira.” Zephyrus knelt down in front of me. He cried with his heart out. With his attitude, funny and taking all serious matters as a joke, Zephyrus was serious at the time with his tears crawling down his cheek. “I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!” He rubbed his hand. “Just kill me! When we arrived at the hospital he?”
I hit him over and over again. “I told you to get him and protect him! What happened!”
“I’m so sorry.” Pyro joined us, crying with his ripping heart.
