2 Moons - Fairy tales Slashed

CH 29 - Not a Baker

Wayo POV

Was he a prince? The Kongtanin heir Ming was talking about? Why did he say he was a baker and not tell me? The way father acted, did he know?

"Are you okay Yo?" Park asks worriedly.

"Yes, I'm okay." I try to smile, but I can't.

"Park!" Monty looks at him. "Why are you with Yo?"

"It's obvious." Elephant shakes his head.

"Shut it, fatso." Monty snaps, before turning to park. "Omg, you fell for Yo, after I warned you."

"I ...was just talking to him." Park waves his hands.

"Asking him out?" Monty squeaks. "You can't, P'Pha will tear you limb from limb."

"We know things Park." The twins surround him and nod. "Yo is to be admired from afar, but never touched."

My chest hurts, would P'Pha care? He's a prince, he wouldn't want to live here, would he? Will he really be at the ball?

"Did you guys see P'Beam?" I ask.

"Listen Park." Monty carries on. "Yo is..."

"I would never stand a chance against a..."

He stops talking, looking at me worried and stays quiet. "You look pale."

"Yo!" Ming yells. "Help me with P'Beam."

I hurry to Ming, who's holding my drunk brother's arm, and take the other. Ming doesn't say anything but he's giving me a look.

"What got into P'Beam?" Mont shakes his head, it's the afternoon.

"He's upset Forth left." P'In sighs following Ming, his troll behind him.

"That stupid Forth." P'Beam yells. "Just waltzing in and away when he feels like it."

"Why hide from him the day he left?" Ming asks.

"It's hard to see the person you like go." P'In says wisely. "I'm going to be sick, not an afternoon drinker."

"Next time I see that bastard, I'm going kick his ass." P'Beam carries on.

"Why join him?" Ming asks P'In.

"Free drinks." P'In says before throwing up nearby if he's this bad P'Beam will be the same later. The trolls holding the back of his shirt so he doesn't roll down the hill. I look at the troll's arm when a flash makes me close an eye, something on his arm is twinkling. He realises I'm watching, he lets go of the shirt hiding his arm from me, he picks up P'In and gives me one look before walking towards the house.

"That troll worries too much about In." Monty sighs.

"You want Park to be that way with you." Elephant laughs.

Monty waves his hand and a fish jumps out of the water, biting Elephants finger.

"Oh my...B..b..lood." Park sputters.

Monty catches him as he sways and faints.

"He fell into my arms." Monty says in awe. "I'm keeping him."

"He fainted." Elephant snaps, throwing the fish back.

"Still keeping him."

We leave with P'Beam while they argue. I know Ming wants to ask me but P'Beam's never that drunk, he remembers everything the next day, we stay quiet and get him home.
