Phantom Hollow Musn't Hurt The Precious!

Judas flinched at her words. They cared about him? He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came. Nothing did. Not even a squeak or a whine. He just couldn't make anything. He looked away, casting his glance elsewhere. For once, he was found speechless. Something began to fester inside. A feeling he had not felt. No...it couldn't be...Was this guilt?

Finally, he found his voice inside himself. "Ever since my fa..the one who raped my mother to give birth to me took me in, he made me hate wolves. I saw them as cruel, uncaring thieves. Stealing the lives of others. He tried to change me, to become him. I killed him soon after, and I vowed that I would kill all wolves." "No. Do not give in" warned the voice. But he ignored with only a snarl in reply to it, and went on, still avoiding her gaze. "I have killed so many..it became a normal thing. I grew not to care for their lives...and now I see it...I became the one thing I vowed I never would become. My father." For the first time in his life, he choked back a sob. The unfamiliar feeling felt odd. He did not want these feelings. Yet he had them, and there was nothing he could do. And then came two words he never thought he would say in his entire lifetime.

"I'm sorry."
