บท 53: Two Worlds (III)
Phil continued to feed me until I felt stuff. It didn't hit me until now that I was dancing in his palms. How could I fall for his tricks?! I couldn't believe that food swayed me so easily. It was like stumbling into the lion's den and never coming out. The abyss was scary.
"Oh my, it seems my little sister has been starving." Phil wickedly smiled. It was a smile that was enchanting where anyone who was watching would be fooled by it in seconds, but for me, I knew what it meant. Death!
"Thank you, older brother, for taking care of me." I nodded. This was my last resort! I can not think of anything else but this.
I reached up and kissed him on the cheek. With the best of my ability, I gave him the most beautiful smile. Eat that you damnable Demon Lord! I continued to curse in my head.
There was dead silence in the shop. I didn't realize that both Phil and I both attracted everyone's attention. When I say everyone, I mean it. Maybe it's because Phil looks so fantastical that he drew the eyes of everyone around him. I don't know, but it made me very uncomfortable.
Don burst out laughing so hard that he literally fell off the chair. I couldn't help but stare at him funny. I'm not sure what he was laughing about. I swear any more challenging, and he's going to die from laughing.
"You guys are always like this?" Don pushed himself up and sat back up.
"No." I quickly stated. If it was like this every day, I'm going to have a heart attack one of these days. This gave me a chance to slip in my chopsticks and steal his food. Kuhhuhuhuh, I chuckled to myself. Now I'm going to eat all of your food!
Phil reached over and flicked me on the head before I could take anything. "If you overeat, your small belly is going to get chubby. If you're not careful, you'll have an upset stomach."
Hyuck. Phil hit a tender spot. I unconsciously looked down upon my stomach and noticed that he was right. He just called me fat! Why I ought to-
"Little sister, you shouldn't scowl so hard. Were you so hungry that you wanted to eat the rest? I can not let you do that. I must watch over my little sister's health." Phil patted my head again. I think he was getting used to this.
This is foul! I screamed in my head. Don't you see that I'm a growing girl? If you're going to play the sister and brother role, feed me more! I disapprovingly place the chopsticks down. All I could do was quietly watch him eat the rest of his food.
Well, no matter, my hands slipped into my pocket. Hoping to find a gold coin, my hand felt an empty space. This is not good. I don't have a single gold in my pocket.
With lunch done, we went out into the streets. It was a busy day, where large crowds of people were walking. The loud honking of horns, the blaring noises, and the chattering of people's voices could be heard. I couldn't help but look around with interest. I have never been to Tokyo, Japan, before.
"Come on. Let me show you around the mall." Don pointed towards a ten-story building. "It's one of the best there is."
We entered the store. Something glimmer in the corner of my eyes. It was a jewelry shop. I couldn't help but stare through the window. Hundreds of different types of jewels, gold, and silver, danced in front of me. My eyes were glued to the vast amount of treasures.
I couldn't help it. My feet automatically brought me into the store. The smell of gold was irresistible.
"Hello, welcome to the Blue Sea Jewelry store." A young woman called out but stopped when she saw me. My face was glued to the glass in front of me, drooling at the gold necklace and rings.
"Berry." Phil and Don came up behind me.
"Buy me this one," I commanded, pointing towards the gold coins there.
"You're kidding me, right?" Phil stared at me.
"It just looks so delicious." I couldn't help but pull back my drool from spilling over.
"Delicious?" The lady asked, confused. "These are the purest quality of gold coins that we have. It cost about $2058."
Don held back in a gasp. Phil was turned towards Phil and understood right there on how expensive it was.
"I'll cover for you when we get back." I quickly stated. I really wanted to try out what the gold on earth would taste like. Did it have exciting flavors, or did it taste bland, especially out of all the gold that I have seen in the room, the one I was looking at looked the most delicious?
Don sighed and pulled out his card. He slipped the card towards the lady. The lady stared at me with wide eyes and back at Don in disbelief. She quickly wrung up the bill and pulled out the six gold coins in the case. Gently she wrapped it in a case and handed it towards me.
"Thank you for your business." The lady bowed.
I snatched the gold off the counter. Already I could taste them in my mouth. The best treat that the world has to offer is in my hands. Turning around hunched over like a scourge, I picked one up in my hand. I walked out of the store and was already heading towards the exit. The gold was quickly going directly into my mouth until Phil snatched it out of my hands.
"Noooooooooo!" I cried out in complete despair. "My candy!" I was jumping up, trying to grab it out of Phil's hands.
"Calm down, brat." Phil hissed under his breath. "This is not the time and place for this."
"What are you talking about?" I growled. My hands were scaling up his body and bee-lining towards the gold coins.
Phil was viciously pushing me back from trying to get to my goal.
I wanted to taste the gold in my mouth, not only that I was compelled to eat it now. It has been seven days since I have tasted the sweet nectar of gold in my mouth. My mind was frazzled, and the only thing I could see was the gold in Phil's hand.
What's wrong with me? Such thoughts crossed my mind. Why is this urge so strong? I couldn't stop myself. At that moment, I blew a fierce fire across Phil's face. "Give me back what is mine!" I hissed. My skin was turning into white scales with gold markings, and claws were quickly forming.
"Berry!" Don called out and ran towards Phil to grab hold of me.
At that moment, I could see red. How dare he? How dare he take my gold! My body shifted and formed into my original dragon form. With a snap of my tail, the store's glass broke into a million pieces. My claws dug in deep into the ground, and my white wings unfurled.
Screams could be heard from the people as they ran out in fear. People were pushing past each other, others almost stumbling upon one another trying to getaway.
"Phil!" Don ran towards Phil, who was covered in smoldering flames. He tried his best to take out the fire.
A gust of power burst forth from Phil's body, and black energy erupted around him. The flames disappeared in seconds, and his body was unscathed. Only his clothes were burnt.
"What the hell is going on?" Don called out with worry. "What happened to Berry?"
"I don't know, but it seems the curse of gold is true." Phil jumped back as my tail whipped towards him. A thundering like sound continued to echo all around the store.
"Give me what is mine." Red eyes glowed dangerously towards Phil. My tongue flickered out, tasting the air. I couldn't tell who was his foe or friend anymore. Everything swirled, blending in different colors. No more did I see Phil before me, but a different person in front of me. A young lady with black hair and pale skin. She wore entirely in black. Her eyes gleamed wickedly with a hint of mischief.
"I see you are still hung up on gold." The lady in black spoke. "You still choose gold over me. Then so be it." She cackled with laughter.
With a deadly blow of fire, I spat towards her face. The fire cut perfectly in half unharming her. It made me more furious than before. It was her, I knew it was her that cursed me in this state. This was the only sanity that was keeping my mind intact. My anger boiled in rage, and the strong urge of gold made me more fierce than before.
"You did this." My tongue flickered out, stressing out the s. "You cursed me to have this unquenchable hunger." I lunged forward with my claws outstretch. With a swipe, the side of buildings was crushed. The lady perfectly dodged my attack and threw her own black arrows at me.
Each one, I blew out fireballs that explode on impact. "Give me back what is mine!" I roared. A jet of flames spread outwards, making the whole area around me blaze in flame.
"Kahahahaha. You think that your hunger will be quelled? You should have not betrayed me!"
A massive blast of energy punched me in the guts, causing me to fling out of the building itself. I flew backward and hit the nearest building. Cars crashed into one another, people screamed as they ran, and buildings crumbled.
