The Puppeteer Part 3

The Puppeteer - His bitter reality

After that day

William took care of the baby with love. Kissing Zylen on his forehead oftenly after he changed his bandages. Spending his time feeding the baby and Zylen, and watching television 'together'

He oftenly spoke to him even he doesn't respond.

William would find himself laugh alone at times with things he told him about his silly moment in life but pause when he saw Zylen trembled when he accidentally mentioned Frederick and Libby

..mom..

..dad..

It's true that they probably never show him affection as he hope for. Even William knows how badly his brother treated Zylen. When he bought the boy he was in mess. Thin and bruised. And the boy was hidden well to the point William never know they ever had a son.

And it was true of how much pain he had endured to be separated from his parents from such a young age. Even William struggled when he lost his parents even he was eleven at the time. Imagine Zylen at six.. and unlike him and his brother, their parents was so affectionate. Really love them and took care of them so well..

..but that old man changed both him and Fred. Looking back he could never imagine they would turn out this way.

"..Such a monster" it slipped through his mouth and he found Zylen was crying with his words

"N-no not your parents, it was me" William corrected himself thinking he sounded like he told him his parents are monsters

..but wait

William look down

"It was me..and your father.."

"But it doesn't matter now, I have changed Zylen! I will never hurt you again! And I want Fred to do the same, I know you miss them, you wanted to meet them so much don't you?" He hold Zylen by his shoulders, watching Zylen trembling so hard. "I'll give them a call wait here" William get up and took the baby from the couch and place him in the crib then quickly grab the phone.

After he press the dial he herd a female voice picked up just after a few rang "Um Hello.. are you looking for Fred?"

"Libby, it's me Will"

..mom?..

"Oh.. it's you do you want to speak with Fred?"

"Listen Libby, It's about Zy-" he was cut short when he heard his brother speak through the phone, he must have snatch it away  "Rick where the fuck are you?"

"Fred, it's me William" William replied calmly he put him on loud speaker

"Oh how ya doing Will? Haven't heard from ya for so long"

"Look Fred, I want you to come over"

..no..no..not him..not him..

"Come over? Isn't that lil bitch is there? Or did you sell him over ? Haha I knew you would be sick of him"

William heard a thud, he look over to witness the wheelchair has flipped over, he saw Zylen crawl away and quickly follow him into the room

..scared..I'm scared..

"The fuck is that noise?"

"It's your son, stop you're scaring him" William replied calmly as he enter the room "I didn't sell him, bring Libby on the phone, he wanted to meet you both" his brother is no good he have to get Libby on the call

"Bring her to the phone? Hah! What for? Leave that thing be, he's even scared of his own father"

"I told you your son wanted to meet you" he saw Zylen tried to crawl to the closet and he grabbed him to stop him
