Chapter 9: Shopping Spree
A Few Hours Later
Astrid lay on the cold floor, his chest moving up and down at a steady rhythm. 'What the hell...how does she still have so much energy after all that's he thought as he stared at Sienna who was dashing between two large trees, to and fro, a wide smile on her face.
'Honestly! She is a monster.'
"Astrid! Sienna! Play time is over, it's time for Sienna and her Mom to go." Astrid's mother shouted to their hearing.
"No....I don't want to leave, I want to continue playing with Astrid." Sienna replied with a pouting expression.
Sienna's mother came out and met up with Astrid's mother, her bag on her shoulder, she walked up to the tree Sienna clung unto, grabbed her ear and began pulling her to come along.
Sienna wailed in pain as her mother dragged her, constantly kicking and complaining on how she wanted to stay longer.
"Astrid! Stand up, let's escort Sienna and Misha" Lia said as she walked passed Astrid who was on the floor and caught up with the mother daughter pair.
"Ugh fine! Is not as if I have a choice anyway."
"What! Is that a complaint I hear"
Astrid immediately felt a chill running down his spine, "No! Am coming" he said while swallowing hard.
He immediately stood and ran to meet his mother, and together they escorted Sienna and her Mom to the gate of their house. On their way, they could see Orion walking over, a visible vain popping on his head making Astrid to sweat.
"ASTRID! You think you can just ditch training huh! Well just know your next training is gonna be triple of this one"
Astrid tried to reply but his words where stuck in his throat, while Sienna decided to step in front of Orion.
"You! Didn't I warn you last time, you bitch! Am tired of your bullshit...the next time you beat Astrid like that I will fuck you up."
Everyone stared at Sienna's pouting, red face with surprise, hell if their jaws wasn't attached to their faces it would have fallen off.
The adults turned and looked at Astrid's shocked face at the same time. "I..I..I can explain." Astrid said while chuckling with sweat awkwardly pouring down his face.
Lia walked over to Astrid, her eyes burning hot, "Astrid! I thought I warned you about using those words, now see what you've taught innocent Sienna." She said as she stormed over and slammed her fist on his head, making Astrid scream in pain.
...
"Misha! Thank you for coming once again" Lia said with a bright smile on her face.
"It's always a pleasure Lia! After all, we will soon be family." Misha said before looking at Sienna, "Sienna dear, tell Astrid good bye before we go."
Sienna nodded and walked over to Astrid who was lying unconscious in his father's arms due to his mother previous attempt to kill him (I quote). She then gave him a little kiss on the cheek before looking at Orion.
"Don't forget what I told you! If I find out you had beaten Astrid, I will beat you as well" She said before walking away. Her words made veins pop on Orion's head, how could he, A Blade Archon of the Elements, be treated as such by a five year old child.
He glanced at the unconscious Astrid, and smiled, 'Of course...it's all his fault, you better not wake up because what I will do to you.'
Lia smiled at Misha, "We will be expecting your visit once again." She said as she watched them get into the black Mercedes parked Infront of the gate. Misha replied by nodding with a smile before the car drove away.
The parents with Astrid in Orion's arms walked back to the mansion, conversing and laughing.
"Honey! Don't forget, me and Astrid have to go to the shopping mall when he wakes up."
"Hmmm! It's no problem, just come back home in time."
Lia began pouting, "Who do you take me for, your daughter." Her words made Orion laugh out loud.
...
About three hours later, Astrid woke up from his little nap, looking at the ceiling with a lost and confused expression written all over his face, which later transformed into anger.
'Damn you mom! Knocking me out just because of some bullshit Sienna said, who gave the idea that am the one who taught all those shit.'
He glanced at the clothes he was wearing, 'And I got dirty again, fuck it, it's just to take a shower and change.'
He took off his clothes before burning them and entering the bathroom. After taking a long shower, he came out and walked over to his wardrobe to check for new clothes, only to see that the wardrobe was empty.
'You have to be fucking with me! How could my clothes finish at a time like this, who even gave me the dum idea to burn all old clothes I wear.'
Astrid sat down on the bed, the towel still on his waste, 'Me and mum have to go to the mall right now, but how do I go without clothes? Darn it, this is bullshit." He said while scratching his blue hair.
"Maybe mum will be able to do something about this" he said, standing up to leave the room.
"Mum! When are we going to the Mall," he shouted desperately upon reaching downstairs.
"In 2 or 3 hours dea...why are you wearing a towel like that, go and put some clothes."
He chuckled awkwardly, "you see! That's the problem, i don't have any clothes...I burnt all my old ones."
She looked at him in shock, with her mouth agape, "Who the hell gave you that idea!"
"I dont know!" He replied, his face puffing up.
"Okay, then we will just have to go to the mall now."
He looked at her with his eyes wide open, "are you reading the room at all, I have know clothes, how am I supposed to go to the mall."
She smiled mischievously, "You will see"
