10 Ch.10| My Dad. (1/2)

It was early into the next day when Pierre finally called back, the ringing had woken up both Arius and Dante. That night, Dante had somehow ended up sleeping beside Arius.

”Anwser it.” Dante whined as he opened his eyes to see Arius covering his head with a pillow.

”You do it.” Although Arius said that, he hadn't realized that Dante had really decided to do so.Dante climbed out of the bed and accepted the call. He held the phone to his ear without speaking.

”You were right to want to find the girl.” Pierre sighed on the other line. ”As it turns out, she's immortal.”

Dante was shook, he quickly brought the phone to Arius's face. He whispered urgently to him, ”Hey!” Yet the only reaction from Arius was a grunt. Dante panicked for a moment before putting the phone back up to his ear.

”Oh, did I wake you up? You sound tired.” Pierre had seemingly took Arius's grunt as a response. After not getting any words from the other line he continued, ”Right, well her immortality is definitely different from yours. Also, we don't have her yet.”

”This is Dante.” The child finally said after a moment of white noise over the phone. A long silence followed, but after a few seconds Dante could hear inaudible shouting. Dante felt slightly offended by the reaction, but he didn't say anything.

”Where is... Phil?” Pierre calmed down.

”Asleep.” Dante looked over at Arius whose face was buried under a pillow.

”Did you hear what I said before?” Pierre asked warily.

”Mhm.” Dante replied while turning towards the nightstand. ”You said that this one girl is immortal, and so is my dad.”

Pierre choked on his words, ”Your 'dad'?”

”Yea, so who are you?” Dante didn't feel the need to explain that he was adopted just yesterday.

”When the f-!” Before he could hear Pierre finish speaking, a man's hand reached over andquickly took the phone. Dante looked over at Arius who was sitting up with the phone next to his ear. He was running his hand through his hair, Dante felt that he was either frustrated or thinking.

”Calm down, Pierre.” Arius said sternly.
