Chapter 25: The Halfas
Danny's turned his head into a direction then his eyes went wide.
"Danny?" Jagger called then Marabel looked at him.
"Something wrong baby?"
"I heard Magenta's voice just now..."
"My sister's voice?" Jagger asked then Danny tried to retrace her words.
"'Does anyone wish that I were alive, so undesirable I am in this body?
Why do you look at me like that?
This face that is rotting... I want to die, want to die
Get me out of here, please
It is impossible for anyone to say and feel...' That is what she said..."
"My sister is being tormented!" Jagger hissed then Marabel tugged his pants.
"Honey, how is it possible that Danny could understand Magenta's words when you couldn't even pick up her voice?"
Jagger looked at Danny then he walked towards him.
"Jagger?"
"Let me take a taste of your blood."
"What? ! Why? !"
"Just a small prick. Nothing bad..." Jagger said then Danny handed Jagger his hand then Jagger opened his mouth and pressed Danny's finger against his fang. Danny softly groaned then blood came out of finger. Jagger licked the small drop of blood then gagged.
"Jagger?"
"Just as I thought... Your blood is like the my sister's... Takes one to know one..."
"So... What are you saying...?"
"That because of you being half ghost and half human you might be able to locate Magenta." Marabel said then Danny blinked.
"Save it, Marabel. It's best that we do this step just get all the six princes to help us at least."
"Six?" Danny repeated then Marabel climbed on his shoulder.
"You see sweetie, there are seven princes but one of them grew selfish... That prince was Dante Flare."
"Dante grew jealous back when Magenta came to Underland because all the other princes were so friendly and close to her." Jagger said as he was twisting one of his lock of hair.
"Dante became so furious that he took over Underland with an iron fist. Even scared the other six princes." Marabel said then Danny looked and tried to locate where he heard Magenta's voice.
Where are you, Magenta...? He thought. In the castle hidden by tall trees, Magenta was sobbing softly.
"Someone... Anyone... Brother... Marabel... Danny... Help me..." She whispered.
