"Aaron! Ein had potions, he took over the camp! He has Aphmau!"
Aaron didn't waste any time as he started to run to the cave, he looked behind him on the way to see Zane running from Garroth
He wanted to help them but he couldn't
He had to get to his fiance
He couldn't let Ein hurt her more
He ran past them and went left while they went right
He soon got to the cave, pushing past everyone until he stood in front of Ein and Aphmau
Aphmaus's eyes lit up when she saw Aaron and she tried to get away, only for Ein to grab her and put a knife against her neck
"Aaron, just the man I've been looking for. You know, you could've stopped ALL of this if you just killed me in those woods. A real Alpha would have but you didn't and here we are, again cause of your failure. This time, you have something I want, something you're going to give back. You wouldn't upset me, would you?"
Aaron stared at him, fear and anger filling his body
"You're going to give them back to me!"
"Aaron, don't—!"
Ein pressed the knife harder against Aphmaus's neck to shut her up
"Quiet! Are you willing to let me kill her? It's quite simple. Just give them back!"
Aaron looked at Ein, his red eyes quickly returning Ein's tail and ears
"Now let her go!
Ein made a mocking sad expression as he took the knife off Aphmaus's neck
Aphmau pushed back Ein's arm farther and jumped off the boulder they were on.
Aphmau started to run towards Aaron but before she could get to him Ein shot a green beam of energy at Aphmau, which pierced her chest and hit her heart
Aphmaus's eyes widened as she fell to the ground, Ein laughing loudly behind her on the boulder
Aaran ran over to her, scooping her dying body into his arms
"Aphmau? Aphmau! Aph please,,"
Tears filled Aaron's eyes as he held his dying fiance in his arms
"FC,,, I love you..."
Aphmaus's voice was the weakest and most hurt he had ever heard
Aaron's tears fell onto Aphmaus face as he pulled her body into a hug
"Shu, stupid potato. I love you too"
"Please tell everyone I love them. Tell Zane he was the best best friend to me"
"I won't have to, you can tell them yourself. Save your energy, Shu, you'll be okay"
Aarons's voice was cracking and weak just like Aphmaus
Even as she was dying all she could think about was her friends and making sure Zane knew that he was her best friend and above all her other 'best friends'
Aaron held her body, sobbing into her shoulder as he felt something inside of him changing as he felt Aphmaus's heartbeat for the last time
Ein would never walk out of that cave if Aaron had anything to do with it
