• Chapter 7

    "Ok which part of this is a tiny favor?" Zach carrying two full grocery bag with both of his hand.

    "Well you are a strong guy, Zach. These are nothing to you right? Cara tried to flatter Zach. Cara carried one grocery bag on one hand and on the other hand is holding Helen's hand. Helen eating the last of her ice cream cone.

    "Nice try, Cara. I have known you too long to know that's not a sincere compliment." Cara could barely see Zach face behind those grocery bags to see what his mood is.

    "Oh come on. What buddies are for?" She and Helen giggled.

    "I don't think this is one of them, Miss Cara. Is your car far?" Zach asked.

    "Nah just in front of there." replied Cara.

    Cara and Zach put the grocery bags in the trunk. There were getting ready to get in the car when Helen tugged Zach's hand.

    "That old chinese lady with her grandson going to be robbed."Helen pointed it at the old woman who were just came out from the store. She is carrying a bag of grocery with her grandson following her from behind.

    Zach looks at them and try to see if any danger surround them. He saw a man came out and jump on the old lady and snatched her handbag. He pushed the old lady until she fell down.

    Zach came into their aid just in time and punch the thief face. The thief then pulled his knife and launch himself to Zach. Zach gracefully blocked it and make the guy dropped the knife. Zach then turn the thief hand behind his back. Pulling his hand up until the thief kneel down and screaming. The security guard came and took the thief away. Zach gave the granny her handbag.

    Cara, Helen and the grandson picked up the groceries that was laying around and scattered on the floor when the thief attacked the old lady. Cara offered the lady a ride home. The lady agreed. The old lady patted Helen hair and smiled. Helen smiled back.

    At the old lady house, the old lady insisted that they go inside her house. The old lady then tell them that her name is Mrs Ong. They talked awhile. The grandson come back with the tea and a plate of biscuits. She then took a wooden box out and gave each of them a pendant jade with a red thread on them. They of course refuse but the old lady insisted on it.

    "Please, the jade will protect you from evil. You must wear it always." Mrs Ong said in worry voice.

    "But Mrs Ong, we can't accept them." Zach replied.

    "You have save me and my grandson. I am truly indebted. " Mrs Ong smile. She then put her hand on Cara. "You must protect Helen."

    "Umm what u mean Mrs Ong?" Cara was confuse. What she need to protect Helen from.

    "You will know in time." Mrs Ong gazed behind Cara and Zach. She can see really clearly their spirit guardian, a knight and a wolf. Both of the spirits really worry about something.

    They talked about few other stuffs. Then they have to leave since Zach has to go to his martial art class. It wont be nice if an instructor came later then his student. He has to set a good examples to his students. They said goodbye to Mrs Ong and thank you for her presents.

    While in the car, they were all quiet. Cara, Helen and Zach already wear the pendant on their neck because they didn't want to offend Mrs Ong. Zach playing with the necklace with his hand. It was weird but he couldn't help but trust the old lady. He can sense something isnt right already. He was worried of Naomi. Then something been bothering him. He turned his head to Helen.

    "How did you know Mrs Wong going to get robbed?" Zach asked.

    "Sir Kip told me." Helen answered.

    "Who?" Zach has never heard of this guy before.

    "Its Helen's imaginary friend." Cara explained.

    "What?" Zach eyes widened with shocked. How can an imaginary friend knew that going to happen.

    "Hes not imaginary friend. Hes your protector Cara." Helen sulking.

    "I will explain later, Zach" Cara doesn't feel like explaining it right now. Again the car fell into a silent until they arrived to Zach's Martial Art class. Cara dropped Zach off and went home.
