"W-wait... Thanatos."

Thanato POV:

I look back at Cla-father waiting for an answer. "Yes... father." Felix walks towards me after a few seconds of silence. "His Majesty wants you to live with us, Your Highness." 'What is he talking about? Didn't he come here to kill me?' I look over at father. "Didn't you come here to kill me? I was sure that was why you came." Their eyes widen. I put a finger on my chin, 'was I wrong?'. "U-um... Your Highness, we never wanted to kill you. We saw how you were treated so we came here to help." 'Really?' I tap on Felix's shoulder indicating him to put me down. I walk over to father. I tap his leg and he bends down to my level. "So... you didn't order them to do this? I always thought you did." His eyes widen as Felix stares at us confused. He shakes his head and my lips make an 'o'. "I'm sorry, father. I thought you did it." I bowed and walked back to Felix ignoring the body. 

Felix was carrying me down to the Imperial Palace and everything was so bright and colorful. I think Felix noticed me eyeing every little because he started giggling. I look over to him and point to the rose garden. "Do you want to see the roses?" I look at him like its obvious then nod. He smiles once again and takes me to the roses. He lets me down and walk over to the patch of red roses. I wanted to pick one up when I prick my finger. "Oh." Felix's eyes widen and he quickly runs over to me. "Your Highness. You shouldn't touch the roses they have thorns." I look over to him and sigh. "Its not like its my first time getting hurt Felix. I'm fine." After I said that Felix had this weird look on his face while father looked like he was trying to figure out what we were talking about. "What's with that face? Oh. That's what you look like when your sad, huh? But... why are you sad?" 'Why would he be sad? Was it because of me?' He smiled at me and grabbed my wounded hand. "You shouldn't be used to this Your Highness. I should have protected you. Its my fault." 'What is he talking about?' I look over at father, who finally heard what we said, for answers. He just sighed at me. '???? What's wrong with them?'

After a few minutes, I finally realized why they were sad. "Ah. You don't want me to get hurt." I look over at them for confirmation. Felix smiled while father just sighed again. "Pap- uh? Papa who's this?" I look over and theirs a little girl who looks like me. 'Must be Athanasia.' father looked at her and walked over to me. "His name is Thanatos, Athy. He is your twin brother." Felix said with a smile as big as the sun. 'I'm gonna need sunglasses for his damn smiles.' Athanasia looks like she's seen a ghost. "Um. Hello my name is Thanatos... Athanasia right?" It took her a while but she nodded. "Yeah I'm Athanasia! You can just call me Athy though. I'll call you... Thano (Th-on-no)!!" 'Wha-' "That's a great name Athy!" Felix ran towards Athanasia and picked her up. "Um... Thanatos is fine." Athy shook her head when Felix let her down. She ran up to me and hugged me so hard I fell. "No no no no! Your Athy's twin brother, which means you have to have a nickname too!" I sigh and give a small smile. "Fine. Thano it is then." father and Felix looked surprised. "Felix. Your eyes are about to pop out of your head." He gasps and looks away with a blush. "Felix, were going to have tea. Set it up." Felix smiles once again and nods.

We were sitting awkwardly with father in front of me, Felix behind father, and Athy at my right. "So... why were we separated, Thano?" Father was about to say something when I spoke up. "Because my name means death and father didn't like that."  Father and Felix's eyes widen. "If your wondering... I remember everything from the moment I was born... until now." I say with a close eyed smile. Neither of them could utter a single word. Athy looked like she asked something forbidden, then I pat her head. "Its all fine now that I know he didn't do anything bad on purpose though. It was the maids fault." I looked down coldly. She looked confused but shrugged it off. I was drinking the tea but almost spit it out. "W-what is this?" 'Its tea but... it taste like straight sugar.' "Can I have something less... sweet please?" I like sweets but this... is nothing but sugar. "Well we have what His Majesty and Her Highness have." I nod and wipe my mouth. 

I finally got the tea father and Athy had and it was definitely better that the other. "Thank you." Felix smiles and walks over to me. "This tea is called Lippe tea, Your Highness." I nod and thank him then drink some more. 'This tea is the tea Athy made a remark about. It taste's like flowers are blooming in her mouth... just like Diana. I don't know why Diana didn't like me though?' I smile then frown and it seems Athy saw that. "Are you okay, Thano?" I smile again, pushing my feelings down and look at her.

"I'm fine Athy... thank you for caring."

I know the characters are acting a little occ (out of character), but I found that I like it better this way.
