Hoseok's POV

I tried to free myself from his grip to release my hands but it was of no use as this creature kept chasing her.

She was running until a red flamed hand made by Yoongi probably just pulled her up from the front, making her fly but the octopus grabbed a cycle and threw it at the flying hand, causing the hand to break midway.

The girl fell on the high platform at the top of the building and peeked down at us. I saw Yoongi running towards me and making a sword with his red flames, throwing it at the tentacle.

The tentacle detached from its body, causing me to fall to the ground and setting me free. He walked past me as I fixed my clothes.

I bowed at him but he just walked toward the octopus so I frowned at him. I followed him quickly. "You know it's an essential custom to bow in front of the Sorcerer Supreme."

He peered at me and nodded casually. "Yeah, I'm aware of the customs." Both of us made blue and red flamed ropes respectively and threw them at the octopus to keep it away from climbing the building to reach her.

But to no use because we were both being dragged by it using the mystical ropes. She slowly stood up on the platform, staring at the octopus in horror while we were flying, more like hanging because of the ropes.

It threw its tentacle at her but she moved aside, the tentacle landing on the concrete platform, breaking it like nothing.

Another tentacle was thrown at her but this time Yoongi threw his red flame turning it into a feather which just softly tickled her body. Yes, Yoongi can change the forms and structures of things in reality. Her eyes were big in shock as she moved back.

But now the octopus turned its head to stare at us and used its tentacle to throw us off. But seems like he was pissed at Yoongi because it didn't catch me unlike it did for Yoongi.

But before I could land on my face to the ground, I moved my hand, creating a blue portal that opened to a safer spot on the ground. But not so safe because I just slid across the street like I was skating, hitting my head on the wall slightly.

I saw the girl fisting her hands and stomping her feet, causing silver flames to emit from them and the broken concrete platform just broke a bit more in the shape of a star and fell on the octopus who was busy squeezing Yoongi.

The octopus turned around to glare at her, and that's when Yoongi pulled his hands out and used his spells to pull out a lamp post from the street and throw it on the octopus.

"Hey, tentacles!" I screamed and it turned when the lamp post penetrated its eyes. I used my spell to pull the lamp post back, along with its eyes. Eww, were those the nerves attached to the eyeball?

Gross.

Yoongi was released from the octopus and so was the hold of the creature from the building as all of them were falling to the ground. But Yoongi floated with his powers and I created a blue hoop, making it pass through the girl so that she is now teleported beside me.

She stared at us in amusement when Yoongi approached us. "Why was the octopus after her?" Yoongi asked eyeing her suspiciously. She tried to run away but he caught her wrist, stopping her.

"Yoongi, clean this mess," I muttered and he looked around but that's when she yanked his hands off her and ran away. In front of our eyes.

"She just ignored me," Yoongi mumbled beside me, looking at her running form. "Like you do to others," I mumbled and we exchanged poker faces before I made a teleport hoop again.

We entered the hoop and there she was hiding behind a wall, trying to search for our presence. She sighed, slumping her shoulders, and turned around only to flinch.

Yoongi pointed at her. "You ignored me." He looked at her with a stern face while I put my hands behind my back. She looked at us nervously. "Look we won't bust you. I just saved your ass from that octopus." Yoongi tried to tell her.

She rolled her eyes and stared at me. "You both have powers too." We nodded and I tilted my head at her. "So do you."

Yoongi looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "What?" I nodded, pointing my index at her. "She just used it a while ago. To fight the octopus. The silver flame that just broke a concrete in the star shape."

Yoongi looked back at her in shock. "Why didn't you use them to fight?" He asked in disbelief but she bit her lips. I sighed. Yoongi used his hands to change reality, fixing things back together. More like acting like a builder of broken buildings.

I made a teleport hoop, taking us to the nearest cafe, and asked her to take a seat. She was unsure but then agreed after some time.

"Look, kid, we won't hurt you providing that we are the same kind." I tried assuring her. But Yoongi certainly had a different approach. "I don't care if I hurt you. But why was that octopus after you?" He asked.

I can't with him.

She looked at the pastry displayed for us. Okay, so this is how it goes. "Can we have four pastries please? Different kinds."

"On it, sir." The lady from the counter replied and her eyes lit up. My lips curved up. "So since we spent some cash on your palette, would you mind explaining to us why that octopus was trying to eat you?" Yoongi asked patiently, gritting his teeth.

Okay, maybe not so patient.

Oh Lord, this is going to take a long time.
