Aphmau x Zane:The Memories

Finding Lady Irene

Aphmau POV

I felt someone holding my hand I tried with all my strength to hold it back, and my body moved. 

I still couldn't wake up, but I held that hand, I hope that's a good sign.  I remember my son Levin and Malachi.  My friends,  but I feel like they betrayed me, and I know that's wrong.  Then it hit me, I was going to kill them at the Wolf Tribe.  I can't believe that I wanted to scream and cry out but only one tear escaped my eye leaving me to fend off my emotions. 

I wake up outside a castle, an astounding castle was an understatement, it had two purple windows on the front, it also had a strange symbol at the top of the pure white marble.  

I smiled, purple was my favorite color, I felt safe for a moment.  Then I felt my body going away, fading, I was getting lost, no, I'm already lost.  I was gone but then I saw the matron herself, Lady Irene opened her mouth and spoke softly, "This is not the end yet."

I suddenly felt my soul slip from my old body and with that, I was reborn in a forest, but I was a 4 year old and on instinct I started crying.  I had no memories and no idea where I was.  I don't remember anything at all.  Then there was a blonde man in front of me, but his eyes caught my attention, his striking blue eyes shone like the sea below a sunset.  I sniffed and spoke softly saying, "Dada." I tilted my head to the side, I was confused and scared and yet,

this person made me feel safe.

Garroth POV

I saw Lucinda run with all the guards like Laurence, Dante, Dale, and some of Aphmau's close friends.  I started to follow them as well to see what was going on.  

We arrived at Lucinda's house and to Aphmau's temporary bed, Aphmau had been resting there for the past 5 weeks.  I stood shocked to my place, Aphmau was fading,  I rushed went to her side trying to grab her hand but, my hand just fazed through hers.  There was nothing we could do to help her but stand there and watch as she fades completely. 

 Then I heard crying right after Aphmau faded completely.  I am still a guard, wether Aphmau is here or not, so I ran out to see what was crying.  I followed the crying into the forest and saw a baby, I was in shock seeing a crying baby with an uncanny resemblance to Aphmau.  The same raven black hair, the same perfect tan skin, and the same caramel brown eyes.  I didn't enough stop to think if this kid was Aphmau's child, but I knew that I needed to protect her no matter what.  I picked the baby up gently and went to Aphmau's house on the hill.  I put her in Aphmau's purple canopy bed and put a small blanket over her.  

I left the house to go find Zoey because I couldn't look after the child, I still had patrol.  I get this feeling though, I feel like the child is Aphmau, but I then again I did just lose her.  After I found Zoey I told her about the kid I found in the woods.  After she nodded she walked off to take care of the kid.  After she walked off I went off to find Laurence and Dante.

Once I found them I told them about the child I had found in the forest, "Zoey lives in Aphmau's house and she is fully capable of taking care of her," Dante said trying to get me to calm down a little since I was still frantic about everything happening, "I know, but we do need a someone over there just incase someone tries anything," I replied finally calming down, or at least being able to hide how worried I really was.

"We can take turns guarding the house, I'll take the night guard, Dante takes afternoon, and you take morning, how does that sound," Laurence said smoothly, we all nodded agreeing with the plan.

Aphmau POV

I woke up and I realized I wasn't a child anymore, strange.  I looked out the window and it seemed to be morning, I looked down and realized that my clothes were ripped.

I got up and went to my wardrobe to get dressed.  I looked at the clothes I have and decided to wear a lilic purple shirt with lighter lace on it, on the back of the shirt was a lilac purple bow on my lower back, along with a pair of white shorts, and a thin black belt with purple floral design on it.  After I finished changed I looked out my door and noticed Garroth on a purple chair to the side of the door.  I thought about how cute he looked, his hair was messy and in his face.  

I know he's my guard but I care for him so I didn't wake him.  I decided to move one of my chairs up to the window in my room and looked out into the forest.  

I was focused on the pure green leaves with sunlight bouncing off of them, that is until I heard Lady Irene herself talking to me in my head.  She was talking about my past, the thing I had forgotten so long ago.  From what Irene was said summarized, I was lonely.  My parents usually not with my due to their line of work.  They were lords of a village, they ruled over it together with a gentle hand.  

I was sad, lonely, and broken from what I could tell, but then I remembered my mother and father very vaguely.  I couldn't remember what they looked like, but I knew they were kind and loyal to their village, together their village thrived with kindness and everyone had hope, except me. The problem was many neighboring villages hated our village, they envied it's success. 

So you see, they attacked and burned everything including the villagers that lived there, I was devastated to see my home burn in front of me, and I started to remember the people's screams of pain, but my memories were wiped and I was put in this world.  I had a horrible childhood, but the thing that was the worst was that, my mother was always there for me and I forgot her!  I never even got to say a goodbye!  I'm the worst daughter ever, and my mother is,

Irene.

How come no one knew, or did they just not tell me?  Before I asked myself too many questions I noticed Garroth waking up, he seems shocked about something.  Probably that I was a baby a second ago.  I then asked him the question I had in mind, "Did you know?"  I dreaded the answer because I felt as if I knew the answer already, and I didn't like it.  He opened and closed his mouth until he finally replied, "I'm sorry we lied, but we had to protect you."

Lies, I've been told lies from the beginning, I loved Garroth, but somehow, I felt like that was also a lie.

"Garroth, can you bring Dante and Laurence here, I have something to say to them," I asked Garroth, he nodded and then he was off.  I was left alone to my horrible thoughts that attacked every corner of my mind and being, was it all true or was it fake?  I can't trust, I just cant after what happened, after what happened, they are liars.  I walked to my kitchen to get a snack since I started to get hungry, thinking this much can't be healthy.  I looked in my fridge seeing fruits, meat, and other kinds of healthy fresh food.  I sighed and grabbed an apple and bit into it.  If only this apple could have been poisoned, I wouldn't need to be a lord, but then,

 why did I become one in the first place?
