Life As A Divine (A MCD Fan fiction)

Chap. 3 ~ He's Back

We follow Dante to the docks, confused at to what's going on. When we arrive, Aphmau is met with an unexpected guest. Katelyn. She's aboard her boat, facing the sea, starring at something.

"Katelyn!" Aphmau yells, excited to see her dear friend. "You made it!"

"Katie?" I question, knowing something must be up from Dante's tone. "What's going on...?"

"It's good to see you, Aphmau. You too Anna." She replies.

"I missed you so much! You have no idea." Aphmau exclaims.

"I can imagine you feel the same as I do..." Katelyn states.

"But?" I ask, knowing there's more to her unexpected visit.

"Enough talk... I brough you a little birthday gift, for Alina." Katelyn explains.

"Well, why are we out here? The party is over in Kiki's barn." Aphmau states.

"Because I need help with this particular package." Katelyn replies, moving out of the way so we can see what she was blocking.

When we see the 'package', Aphmau becomes lost for words. My head begins spinning with rage.

"What the?!" Garroth yells.

Without thinking, I take a step forward, wanting to kill Zane... Garroth catches on and immediately grabs my left shoulder, then my right arm, holding me back.

"Suprise." Katelyn states.

"Well, look who it is." Zane smirks.

Aphmau begins stammering before spitting out one word. "Zane..."

~~~~~~//~~~~~~

Zane begins pacing in his cell, in the old guards station. Aphmau, Katelyn and Garroth stand together, trying to think of something to do. Something about seeing Zane made me immediately fall back into old habits. I have my brother's hoodie on, with the hood up. I'm hunched in a corner, leaning against a wall, starring daggers at Zane. Not making a sound. Too afraid... Too angry... To... Overwhelmed to speak. Just starring.

"I-... This can't be happening!" Aphmau stammers. "He died!"

"Calm down! I'm just as shocked as you are..." Garroth adds, trying to calm Aphmau down, which really should be my main priority to, but... I just can't.

"I wasn't expecting Zane to appear out of the nether at all, trust me." Katelyn adds. "When I saw him, I was just as shocked."

"Please! Tell me he wasn't the only one. What about Laurence and!?" Aphmau asks,

"I'm sorry. There was no sign of anyone else but Zane." Katelyn explains.

"I'm going to speak with Zane. He's my brother. I should be the one to do it." Garroth says.

"Go ahead. I can't look at him right now." Aphmau states.

"Alright." Garroth replies.

"I'm sorry to bring him here... But I wanted you to be the one who passed judgement on him. He's hurt you in more ways than one." Katelyn says, referring to Aphmau.

"My home... My people... My family... My husband... My brother... My heart... He made me into a mindless killer and yet she gets to make the judgement." I mutter to myself, very mad, very annoyed.

"Thank you... But he's done more to Anna than all of us combined." Aphmau says, standing up for me.

"I know... But what are the chance's she'd make a smart choice? She's blinded by rage... And fear." Katelyn explains, trembling at the thought of what he has put us all through. "You can tell that just by seeing him, she's acting... Different."
