Aarmau: Remember Me, Remember Us, Just Remember

Chapter 138

Zack's eyes lock onto her scar because frankly, he's afraid to look at her eyes although the thought of what happened to his daughter is just as hard to see. He desperately searches his mind for a way to get out of this because he seriously doubts this is truly his Aphmau. Maybe Michael survived and it's a trick? Or it could be Elizabeth playing a game.

He forces his eyes to hers and takes a deep breath. "Before I say any more, how do I know this isn't a trick of some kind? My daughter is not a werewolf and she does not have freaky white eyes. How do I know any of this is real?"

Aph steps back into Aaron and shivers as his hands gently close over her shoulders. "Aph?"

She shakes her head and sighs, "I can understand what he thinking. I have to try something different."

As her eyes turn back to their normal warm amber she crosses over to grab the chair from the desk by the wall and places it in front of Zack. She rolls her eyes as she sits down and is aggravated that her feet don't quite touch the floor.

When she looks up at him she can't help but notice his eyes are staring at her feet. He seems a little more relaxed so hopefully, she's doing this right. "Yeah I'm short so clearly I didn't get my height from you or mom. I understand what it feels like to be tricked and lied to. I've spent the last year stuck in a virtual reality created by the Guardian Force. It's still hard believing I'm free and if it wasn't for Aaron's constant reminder I'd be going crazy about it right now. So let's start over but you need to know this doesn't excuse anything you've done over the last 24 years. When we're done you will be taken to a place to live out the rest of your life and you will be cut off from everything. And if you think Elizabeth can save you with her magic, think again."

Zack blinks a couple of times and shakes his head. "Elizabeth only saves herself and tortures the rest. So you want an exchange of information? But you already said you know everything I've done so why bother?"

Aph nods in understanding, "Because we want Garte home safe and that's the only information you have that is worth anything. Don't think to use it to bargain with because I have other ways of finding him. It's just you're the easiest route."

Zack frowns, "How do I know what you're telling me is the truth?"

Aph shrugs, "You don't just like we don't know if you're being honest with us."

Zack sighs, "If you are my Aphmau, I haven't spoken to you since you were a little girl so how do you know everything I've done?"

Aph smiles, "You told me in your sleep."
