OK guys he's the chapter 12...well times goes by and I'm just wasting it for you. OK like normal, I'll shut up and you guys enjoy :3

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING


His eyes opened up, he was empty in the room...he was alone, no one was there. "Mercedes?"Although no response came out. Phantom looked at the bed it looked like Mercedes didn't even get up from the bed, the sheets would be on the floor.

'Please...' echoed in the room, "MERCEDES!...that voice, that was Mercedes' voice. Mercedes where are you?" Phantom put his hand through his hair, he felt a painful bruise. "Ow!" Phantom screamed out in pain, "Damn it, how did this-..." Phantom went through his memories, he then remembered, "ATHENA...SHE TOOK AWAY MY PRINCESS...that means..."

Phantom ran off, he looked for anyone that saw Mercedes or Athena although no one was there...no one that was alive. Phantom saw a the maid that he threatened when he came in with Mercedes, it was too late she was dead from a arrow through her stomach. Her eyes were open, Phantom closed her eyes and he laid her down.

Phantom went to the engine room, he was lucky he found the captain alive. "Captain how did you survive?!" The captain looked down, "I'm sorry sir...I saw them...i saw them her take away ." Phantom's eyes fell in darkness, but then he relaxed, "Captain, it was not your fault...Who exactly did you see take Mercedes?"

The captain looked at the thief, he saw that Phantom wanted an answer at that very moment, "Well I saw three girls one of them was , then other girl had long blonde hair that were in pig tails and had purple eyes." Phantom hissed out, "Orchid!" The captain nodded, "Then there was the last girl, she had red blood eyes and had long black hair. Then there was one boy that looked like Orchid without the long blonde hair."

Phantom knew exactly who the boy was, 'Lotus...hmph this is war Lotus, I swear if you touch my princess I will kill you. A girl with long black hair and red eyes...I know red eyes anywhere...Anilla!'

"Master Phantom...where should we fly to?" Phantom got out of his thoughts, "Well I don't know where Mercedes is...but I do know where a certain new Queen of Elluel might be."

For a moment the captain questioned the thief, "But Sir Phantom, how do you know that there's a new Queen of Elluel? And also may I ask who is the new Queen?" Phantom chuckled, "I saw it in a dream and the new Queen is Athena...Athena Pierce. Now, get this ship to Elluel so I can have a little chat with the new Queen."

The captain nodded and started the engine of the Lumiere, Phantom knew that Mercedes was getting weaker he felt it, his own body felt weak or it could have been the guilt that he let her get taken away.

Phantom headed to his room to try and to take the thoughts away of that. Suddenly a white light passed him, he got himself on guard, "Who's there?!" The light went in front of him and should a figure...it was Mercedes, she was on a wall with chains on her arms and legs, not letting them get close together, her body not even touching the ground.

Phantom gasped and felt dead inside, Phantom also saw that Mercedes was bleeding all over her body: her head, her chest, her legs, and even her arms. Mercedes looked up and looked at Phantom with cold dead eyes, "WHY ARE YOU HERE?! I RATHER DIE THAN HAVE YOU HERE WITH ME!" Phantom's heart broke when he heard those words, he whispered to her, "Mercedes...I'm sorry, I promiss you that I will save you."

Mercedes screamed, "NO, DON'T COME NEAR ME! GET AS FAR AWAY FROM ME AS POSSIBLE!" Phantom's heart broke like glass, "M-Mercedes!" She screamed again, "GET AWAY FROM ME LOTUS! DON'T COME NEAR ME!" Phantom looked at Mercedes again, he saw Lotus right in front of her. Lotus grabbed her by the chin and kissed her roughly, Phantom wanted to grab Lotus and kill him.

Mercedes screamed with pain, when Lotus let go of her Phantom saw that she was bleeding by her lip and that she had a scar and it looked very recent. The image faded away, "NO!" The light almost disappeared but Phantom yelled at it, "WAIT..was that image in the present?"

The image changes into Aria, she nodded, "Phantom...please save Mercedes I know you love her, even more than you love me. This is the last time I can ever see you again, please don't make me think I wasted that."

Phantom smiled, "So you were the one who warned me about Lotus and Orchid going after her huh. Well thank you Aria I promiss to protect Mercedes...thank you for all your help, Aria." Aria smiled, "Don't promiss me Phantom...promiss Mercedes" And with that Aria disappeared, Phantom smiled, "I'll always remember you...Aria."

The captain specked from the intercom, "Sir Phantom, we are in Elluel." Phantom said with a smirk, "Good...I should go pay my old friend Athena a visit. Don't worry princess...I'll save you."
