Papa Nightmare? [Nightkiller] [English Version]

CHAP 43

(Drawing above made by me UwU)

Crescent's POV:

That simple but important question echoed through my mind 'Did I just hear it right?' I asked myself, crossing my gaze with my father without leaving his sight in disbelief. ''Really?!'' I shouted, finally understanding that I had not imagined what I heard.

My sudden scream took dad by surprise but in a few seconds he recovered and softened his gaze.

"Yes..." He answered me softly with an expression that was difficult for me to understand, however, I couldn't help but put that aside and feel excited.

"Of course I want to!" I exclaimed without containing my voice, hugging my father tightly by the neck, receiving in response a "You don't let me breathe" from him.

At that moment I felt a mixture of happiness, excitement and curiosity, linked with some fear about what could happen from now on.

"But" he added, causing my excitement levels to drop "Since your birthday is almost there, you'll meet him a few days later" he mentioned firmly, playfully touching the bone of my nose.

Hearing his words I inflated my cheekbones a little angry, I mean, are you serious? What was stopping him from introducing him to me now? It seemed somewhat unfair to me knowing that my birthday is several weeks away.

"..." dad looked at me silently, placing a hand on my head to get my attention "I know what you must be thinking but you must understand that it is necessary, before you know him you have to learn several things" I listened discouraged but starting to understand his words a little more by analyzing them carefully, if there was something I was missing it was information "We also have to pack our things to move to the castle"

"Move... to the castle?" I asked lost, without understanding the words thrown out of my father's mouth, the simple idea never crossed my mind that by asking to see my mother I would have to stop living with my uncle and my cousin like that so suddenly, in my fantasies I got to know him and visit him from time to time, nothing outside of what could be possible.

"That's right, we will start living in the castle after your birthday" he replied, getting me out of his arms to go take the cup of coffee that he had left aside in his hand. "We were supposed to live there from the beginning but because of some problems I found it complicated..." he finished speaking with a tired expression and taking a sip from his cup of coffee, which at this point should be cold, yep, it definitely was, a moment after taking the sip he didn't hesitate even a second to show a disgusted face and then get rid of it.

Coming to understand my current situation, I sadly touched the wall that was closest to me. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to this place before becoming an adult, much less to see the monster that was not with me in all these years.
