Chapter 18

---Garroth's Pov---

I wake up at about 6 which is...well... the normal time i have to wake op to start my shift. I yawn and go to turn on the lamp on my nightstand when i grab a bracelet. Whats this? I pull it up to my face and sit up. Oh yeah its Aphmau's charm bracelet.... theres only one charm. I stare at the charm bracelet more confused then ever. I hear a faint laughing and look up. "Hey Garroth." I squint and drop the bracelet, gritting my teeth. "Laurence.... dont hurt Aphmau." He laughs. "I wasnt planning on it.... yet." He smiles evilly and i begin to get terrified. "Anyways. I just want you to know that i wont be the one to kill Aphmau. I love her too much to hurt her." I make my hands into fists. "Oh and by the way Garroth.... you kiss her again and she wont be able to heal you again. Before i leave i just wanted to tell you that a scrawny idiotic guard like you wont be dating a direct descendant. Ill make sure of that." He laughs and disappears. I grab the bracelet and put it under my pillow. I look over at Aphmau and realize something. Its her birthday. I head out of my bed and throw on my armor and helm. "I wont let Laurance touch you again." I walk away my hands in fists.
So every shadow knight is after her. Just the more reason to keep her safe

---Aphmau's Pov---

I wake up to slamming on the door. I yawn and get a casual outfit on leaving my hair down. A purple shirt and white shorts. I also threw on some sandals. I answer the door to see Zenix standing there. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY APH!!" I sigh. Forgetting that it was today. "Heh... Hey Zenix" My birthday isn't my favorite day of the year. In fact it is one of my least favorites. 4 Years ago on this day i ran away from Scaleswind. I dont think Zenix remembers exactly why i always hate this day but thats ok. Hes just trying to make me feel better about my situation. "You ok Aph? You look totally spaced out there." I shake my head. "Oh yeah im fine! So where do you want to take me first?" I sighed. "You know me so well Lord Aphmau. We actually wanted to get your advice on something before we started building something." I nod smiling. Anything but something that has to do with my birthday. I walk with him to Kiki's barn which supposedly had everyone who is wanting to talk about this. "Wait here Aph, i just wanna make sure everyone is there." I nod my head, though slightly confused. A few seconds later he comes back and waves me over. "Zenix why is it so dar..." "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" I see basically the whole village pop out and scream. "Oh my Irene guys! You scared the heck out of me!" I laugh and so does everyone else. Zoe runs up to me. "Here Aphmau!!!" She hands me a silver necklace, with a purple jewel. "This is amazing!! Thanks Zoe!" I hug her. "Here let me put it on!" I give it to her and she puts it on. "Perfect Fit!!" She squeals and Kiki walks up next. "Aphmau i saw this frame and immediately thought of you." She hands me a picture of Sean Connery riding on Thorgi. "This is so adorable!!!" I hug Kiki. "Im glad you like it!" After everyone gave me their gifts and i said thank you to everyone we were all dancing. I look around and notice that Garroth was never here. I dance next to Zenix and he picked me up. "Zenix!!" He laughs and puts me down. "Have you seen Garroth?" He shakes his head. "No actually i havent seen him all day." "Hm. That concerns me. Maybe i should go looking for him." "Dont. Garroth's a big boy. He can take care of himself." I laugh. "Fine but im doing it after the party." He sighs and picks me up again. "ZENIX!" He laughs and spins me around. "I hope i puke on you." He smiles then puts me down. When he puts me down i start to get a massive headache and i fall. "Hey Aph? You ok?" I nod. "Uh... yeah may i talk to Kawaii-Chan?" He nods. I walk over to Kawaii-Chan, and she looks immediately concerned. "Are you ok Aphmau-Senpai?" I shake my head no. "Kawaii-Chan..... do you feel that too?" "Kawaii-Chan is confused. What is Aphmau-Senpai talking about?" I look down. "I just have a feeling that uh...... i cant really explain. Just like something bad is about to happen." Zoe walks up. "Hey Aph you alright?" I start to get dizzy. "Uh yeah. Do you feel that Zoe? That feeling like something bad is abput to happen?" I fall over again but Kawaii-Chan caught me. "Aphmau-Senpai? Kawaii-Chan doesnt feel that way, and shes a magicks user." I nod my head. "Its not just that though i just dont feel.... right." Zoe starts to look concerned "Aphmau have you had too much sugar or something because you arent looking good." "Im fine. I guess im just a little dizzy from not getting too much sleep." They nod and i walk back to Zenix. "Are you feeling better?" I nod. "Uh....yeah." Me and Zenix continue to dance until i start to see stars. "Zenix..... im not feeling to good..... my head is pounding." I fall over and he catches me. "Aphmau do you wanna just sit down?" I nod and he helps me walk to a bench. I spot Garroth and i start to feel extremely sick. "Zenix i think im going to get sick." He walks me over to a bathroom that was near by the barn and i puke. As soon as Garroth runs over i get even more sick. Then i spot it.
"That..............charm....."
Then i black out.
