Chapter 25: Birth Mother

A couple days passed, Sasha seemed to settle in with the others, but something about just seemed a bit.... Off. Aphmau would feel a bit uncomfortable around her, but Emilia, Donna, Zoey and Thorgi don't trust her one bit.

Emilia: " I don't think it was a good idea to let her stay."

Aphmau: " I know, but maybe it's because we have never seen her before and she isn't from anywhere near here that's causing her to feel a bit out of place."

Donna: " I don't know, Aphmau. She reminds me a lot of how I was before joining. She's using Brenden and trust me, I know a thing or two about getting boys to do some things for me. I even did that to Logan at first before getting to know him and I felt bad about it after a while, but my past problems aside. I'm telling you, something about that woman is just off."

Zoey: " Yes, she also got a shipment of poisons that have a bitter scent to them. I think we should keep an eye on her."

The four ladies looked over at Brenden and Sasha, Brenden was trying to talk to her but Sasha clearly seemed uninterested and pretty much tuned him out. After Aphmau finished most of her duties, she went back to her house to check up on Levin, where she also found Garroth.

Aphmau: " Garroth? What are you doing here?"

Garroth: " Ah, there you are Lady Aphmau. I was about to find you myself."

Aphmau: " For what?"

Garroth: " Raven returned this morning with a letter from the South Regions about a report of a mother missing her baby boy."

Aphmau was quiet for a moment, she had a few mixed feelings hearing that Garroth might have found Levin's birth mother. She took a deep breath before asking if there was anything else about the woman.

Aphmau: " How far South?"

Garroth: " Far enough that we got their report this morning. But I don't trust this, Lady Aphmau. I want to see Levin return safely to his family, but something about this seems off to me. It's so far and we don't know if this woman who lost her baby is his mother or not. There's a chance that Levin could get hurt on the journey there, maybe even worse!"

Aphmau: " What are you asking me, Garroth?"

Garroth: " ... Will you go to the Region to see if this truly is Levin's birth mother? I know this is a big ask and you don't have to do it, but.... I just want to make sure this isn't some sort of trap for Levin to get hurt."

Aphmau was quiet again, she didn't want to but she did get attached to Levin in the few days she was taking care of him. She wasn't ready to let him go, but he wasn't her's and this could be his actual mother. Aphmau shook a bit, but when she looked at Levin asleep in his crib, she sighed and looked at Garroth.

Aphmau: " Of course.... But how will I show that we have Levin."

Garroth: " With this."

Garroth handed Aphmau some sort of crystal. As Aphmau looked it over, Garroth explained what it was.

Garroth: " This crystal contains Levin's image in it to show that he's safe."

Aphmau: " Do I need to worry about anything?"

Garroth: " I... can not answer that. I have never been out to the South Regions before, so it will be as new to me as to you. Just be careful when you're out there, and we'll take care of Levin till you return."

Aphmau smiled and nodded, but as soon as she turned around, she bit her lip a bit, struggling to keep a smile on. Tears rolled down her face a bit as she walked outside. She wanted to scream, she wanted Levin to be safe but she didn't want to give him back. But she promised to herself that she would. So Aphmau wiped her tears away, took a deep breath, and started to prepare for this long trip to the South. But after Aphmau walked to the plaza, Sasha scared her by coming out of nowhere and was in front of her, causing Aphmau to scream for a moment.
