Chapter 30 - : 30 : The Phantom Carriage Mystery : Echos Of Memories!
The lights flickered back on.
The ghost bride was gone.
"...Okay," Aiden said, voice low. "This is getting old."
Luna clung to his arm again, now with real tension in her grasp. "I don’t like this anymore. This doesn’t feel playful. It feels... sad."
Ivy’s voice was unusually small. "She said he never came..."
Lysandra, who had been unusually quiet, stepped closer to the photo. Her fingers brushed against the glass.
"This wasn’t just a wedding," she said. "This was meant to be perfect. And it wasn’t."
Aiden nodded slowly. "Something went wrong. The question is... what?"
Luna narrowed her eyes, still holding Aiden’s arm tightly, her tail flicking behind her. "Wait..." she murmured, her ears twitching as her gaze locked back onto the wedding photo. "That girl... the one we saw dancing with the boy in the passage..."
Everyone turned toward her.
"She looked like the bride." Her voice was steady, but laced with suspicion. "Her face, her smile—it was the same. But the boy... he didn’t look like the groom."
Aiden blinked, his brow furrowing. "You’re right." He stepped up beside her, studying the photo again. "If that little girl resemble the bride this much then the boy should too. I mean his hair color and eyes looks different in the photo."
