MC Diaries : A Garmau Story

XXVIII. Not Again

A/N - You likey de cliffhanger? Well, Drama~Llama told me things... I has ideas now... MUAHAHAHAHAA

Garroth's PoV

I grabbed my sword, and Aphmau grabbed hers.

"Aphmau, get back in the house." I ordered.

"Garroth, I can figh-"

"Well, according to what I've been hearing," Gene raised his sword. "Aphmau, you, are eating for two!Correct?"

"None of your business." She growled.

"GARROTH!" Dante ran up the hill, katanas in hand.

"Hello, brother.." He crooned. "You wanna FIGHT?" He stomped his foot to the ground, and like before, the shadow knights arrived.

"APHMAU, GET BACK IN THE HOUSE!" I yelled as I ducked a swing.

"GARROTH, I'M FIGHTING!" She dodged a blade. I couldn't stop her. Soon, others came, and the fight scene from months ago returned, but this time, people spared a moment or two to tell Aphmau to run to safety because of her 'condition'.

-a few hours later...-

"THERE'S A CLEAR SHOT, SASHA GET HER!" Gene yelled. Sasha pulled out some kind of gem, and pointed it at Aphmau.

A soul chamber.

I tried to get in front of her, and so did a few others, but it was too late. Aphmau staggered backwards as an eerie gray light surrounded her, taking her soul; she tried to fight it, but it was too much. It lifted her up, and she fell to the ground as the chamber collected her soul. I took my chance. I charged at Sasha, hoping to get the stone, but they disappeared once again, into the shadows, leaving Aphmau's lifeless body on the ground.

"APHMAU!" I rushed toward her. (All of you R gonna kill me... BUT U HAVE HOPES FROM THE LAST TWO TIMES I DID THIS RIGHT?) "no.. Aphmau.. What've they done to you?" I cupped my hands to her face as the rest of the fighters came by my side.

"She.." Laurance kneeled beside me. "She's.. Gone?"

"F-for t-the t-t-time b-being..." I tried to fight the tears, but they came rushing down at the thought of my beloved gone.

"But the baby still lingers inside her." Lucinda put a hand on my shoulder.

"S-so t-hey.. They could k-keep her? F-for six m-m-months?" I stuttered.

"Not necessarily that long, I mean, they can't keep her forever, she has to come back every now and then.." Lucinda looked disappointed to tell me this.

I cradled her lifeless body as tears streamed from my eyes, people coming with their sorries, I didn't want that. I didn't need their apologies. I just needed my Aphmau.

"Dad, what's- WHAT HAPPENED?" Malachi rushed out of the house, Levin at his side. "Was it.. Was it a soul chamber?"

I nodded.

"Mama?" Levin pointed.

"Mama.. She.. She's, um... " I sniffed. "She.. She's not-"
