The Phantom Prince ✔️

Chapter 11

"There's something that you need to know..." Arthur began nervously.

I looked at him curiously.

"I... I am sorry." his eyes met mine and I was startled by the sorrow and guilt in them. It was like he felt all this was his fault.

Why was he blaming himself?

He didn't do anything wrong. He was also a victim here.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked still confused.

"Amy... She got hurt because of me."

There were tears in his eyes and his voice broke as he spoke.

"What do you mean? It's not your fault dear." Miranda said as she wiped his tears and smiled at him.

"N.. Nwot his fawlt." a soft voice almost whispered.

We all turned towards the voice in surprise.

Amy... She was awake.

"Amy! You woke up!" I said hugging her.

"Daddwy he save my liwf!" she said pointed to the trembling boy who was trying to hide the fact that he was crying.

"No... I am the reason she is like that now." he said in agony.

"Why don't you start from the beginning... Tell us what happened?" Samantha asked kindly.

We all took a seat and waited to hear the story.

The boy hesitated and bit his lip thoughtfully.

The white haired boy looked at him and nodded to us.

"Can I say?" Jonas asked.

We nodded.

"Sure. Go ahead." Juliet said and switched on a recorder.

"My name Jonas and Arthur my brother. Luna is friend we made when we... There."

We looked in surprise at each other. We didn't expect that. The boys were nothing alike in appearance.

"Father... He sold us to them. Coz we killed mommy. We bad boys who made mommy dead."

Arthur flinched and closed his eyes.

We looked shocked.

"Wait... Can you elaborate on that?"

"What is elabowate?" Jonas asked.

"To explain." Arthur said not looking at anyone.

"Oh.. Okay... Mommy became dead after I born. Father say it our fault. Coz we monsters and freaks and...and..."

Arthur covered his mouth with his hand.

"It's okay. You don't have to say it."

Arthur's voice shook as he spoke but Jonas was unusually calm. His voice was plain and even like he was reading from a book.

Jonas shook his head and continued.

"At first he ignore us. Didn't notice we there. Brother says it's coz he sick. But then brother say something strange and he start hurting us....mostly him... One day he no want us no more... Say he found someone... buyer who want buy monsters like us."

"What did your brother say?" I asked.

"Father crying and screaming... Telling mommy to come back and no leave him... Brother ask what wrong and he say he want mommy back... So brother say," but father... She is sitting right there on the dining table's chair".... no one there but Arty see dead people."
