Phantom's Girlfriend (Natewantstobattle x reader)

Chapter 17

Y/n's perspective:

After Phantom left, I started wandering around the castle. I had been given a tour of it before but I have never really had a chance to look around without Phantom.

The castle was absolutely beautiful. There were detailed works of stone and wood covering the walls and ceilings. Most of the castle is black, brown, and red. It gives it a very earthy and homey feel that I really like.

As I am walking down what I have heard called the main hallway I notice a dark hallway that I don't remember Phantom taking me down when he gave me the tour. I look around to make sure that I'm not being watched before walking down the hall.

It's so dark I can barely see anything past a foot in front of me. I keep my hand on one of the walls so that I don't get lost. When I'm about 15 or so feet into the hallway I hear raspy breathing coming from somewhere in the hallway with me. I stop in my tracks and start looking around to see if I can see whoever it is. Just as quick as I heard it it was gone. I take a deep breath before I keep going.

I get a few feet deeper before I hear it again. This time I force myself to be brave and actually speak up this time. "Who's there?" I am trying to sound brave, however, I don't think it worked too well.

The hallway is quiet for a second before a second raspy voice calls out from the quiet, "Are you the queen?" This stuns me but I guess technically since there is no queen right now.

"No, not yet"

The voice chuckles, "ah you're his new plaything aren't you?"

I get annoyed at this, "I am no one's plaything. We are just dating nothing more or less than that."

"If you say so y/n"

I stand there stunned that this other person knows my name.

The other person laughs, "Maybe you won't be so bad for him." I don't know what to think anymore. Without saying another word I start walking backward out of the hallway. Eventually, I break out into a run while I hold my dress up so I don't trip.

Servants watch me concerned as I go past them. Lots of them ask me if I'm ok as I go past them. I don't answer any of them. I just run to my room and slam and lock the door.

I go and lay on Phantom and I's bed. I nuzzle my head into his pillow and let the smell of Phantom surround me. After a few minutes of laying like that my phone buzzes in my pocket.

I groan but pull it out and look at it. It's Phantom texting me to check in on me. I looked at it for a while unsure if I should tell him about what happened.

Eventually, I come up with a text simply telling him that I really miss him and that I think I'm going to take a nap. He believes it easily enough and tells me to sleep well.

After that, I get up and head to the closet. I start taking off the outfit that Phantom had picked out for me and look around the closet. There is a black button-up in the laundry basket, I pick it up and put it on. It smells like Phantom and I feel safer.

There is a knock at the door, I take a deep breath before walking to the door. There is a servant at the door, a bit surprised to see me changed. "Lady Y/n I was instructed to take you to lunch," the servant says nervously. She can't be more than 17. I feel really bad for her.

"I'm not feeling very good right now. Is it possible to have my lunch brought to me?" I ask calmly and nicely. She nods nicely and I tell her what I would like. After she leaves I go and sit at the table in our room.

I can't wait for Phantom to come home.
