Tae and I happily ate our delightful rice noodle soup. We both watched children laughing nearby with their colorful lanterns in their hands. Tae giggles and faced me.
"This is the best night I ever had," Tae said, smiling.
I smiled back and said, "Mine, too."
Suddenly, an explosion released on the nearby street. Tae jumped up. I looked over at the explosion. Smokes were flowing in the air.
"Tae, I think we should—"I said, turning around to face Tae, who was no longer there. I gave a confused look, "Tae?"
"C'mon, Jing!" Tae yelled, half way to the other street.
"What?" I yelled, couldn't believe my eyes.
Tae disappeared to the other side. I ran after her and stopped when I saw a kid, who was playing with his wooden yoyo. I looked over at Tae, who stood, staring at the kid.
The little boy continued to play. Suddenly, his eyes glowed brightly white. He spoke the words of the fire spirit legend, Ring of Fire.
"Tae, get out of his sight!" I shouted to Tae, standing behind a building.
Tae just stood there. She refused to move and hide. She clapped her hands together and started chanting words that I did not understand.
The little boy looked up and gave an evil grin. He stood in an awkward position. His arms stretched out and his legs spread apart. He looked at Tae, who still chanting and whispered, "Prepare to go to hell."
"Tae!" I yelled, jumping out behind the building. I started to run towards Tae and tried to save her before the kid release an attack, but it was too late.
A big, bright flashes and I can feel the heat of burning fire. I knew, I lost Tae.
