Aphmau's POV

I should probably be telling my mom (the queen) about this, but instead i just keep watching him. I don't think that he would be doing anything bad because I think of him as the brother i never had, but always wanted. I trust him.

I watched him for a while. He just kept doing the same things over and over again, when all of the sudden he opened the gates.

I saw a man with black hair and blue eyes out side of the gate with an army of guards. He looked as if he was wearing a black scarf around his neck and mouth and he was also wearing a jacket with his hood up.

He walked inside and gave Zenix an evil look. Zenix then bowed his head as if he was in shame. I started to panic. "Meowki follow me" I said as i slipped on my boots.

I was about to open my door to go out when mom opened it. "Aphmau! your awake! good!" She said quickly. "ya. Meowki woke me up a-" I was quickly cut off by mom. "No time to talk sweety!we have to go! now. Follow me!" She said hesitantly but quick.

I followed her to the kitchen. She started to pack a backpack when we heard people come inside. Mom pushed me and Meowki into a big cupboard. I heard a group of people walk in.

" Ah! Hello Katherine! " I heard a deep voice say. My mom didn't answer. "Hm Giving me the cold shoulder huh." The voice said. " I don't associate with people like you!" My mom said in a angered voice.

"Where is she?" The voice said. "Who?" My mom asked. " YOUR DAUGHTER! WHERE IS SHE!" He screamed. My mom didn't answer. " Take her outside,and look for the princess. She could be anywhere by now." The voice said. I heard everyone leave. My MOM! THEY TOOK HER! THEY JUST TOOK HER! I NEED TO GET HER BACK! I thought to myself in anger. I jumped out of the cupboard and went out the window in the kitchen. I then snuck to the front of the castle and hid in a bush.

It wasn't to hard since it was still dark out. They were burning down houses and slaughtering many innocent people. I wanted to cry at the sight, but i had to be strong. I ninja skipped to another bush. Meowki followed close behind.

I then quickly ran up to my mom. "It's ok mom! E-Everything will be alright." I whimpered as I took the rope off from around her wrists. "No! Sweet heart don't worry about me! You have to go! now!" She replied quickly. "N-NO! I-I'M NOT LEAVING YOU!" I said as i started to cry. My mom now with her arms free, stroked my hair and looked into my eyes. "Aphmau. I love you, but you HAVE to go. I will always love you and soon you'll understand everything and it will make so much more sense." She said.

I stared into her eyes and then i hugged her. I started to cry when something..Dare i say magical happened. WE floated up into the air and separated, mom raised her arm at me and her hand started to glow. The light flew from her into me and it was over, we floated back down together.

By this time everyone was standing around us including the weird scarf guy. I stood up and looked at everyone. The weird scarf guy was looking at me and i could tell that he was smirking. "Hello. Princess!" He said. I backed up a little. "Oh i'm sorry! We haven't properly met. I'm Zane! The high priest of O'Khasis!" He said as he walked forwards a little bit. "Hi. I'm Princess Aphmau of Shirewood and I demand you leave!" I said as i stepped forwards. "Oh, But I can't" Zane said as he was clearly pretending to be sad.

"W- WHY NOT!" I stuttered a little. "Well you see. I was here to defeat this village and take the Queen and the Princess back to O'Khasis with me! So i'm on duty here, but don't worry! We are leaving in an hour." Zane smiled. The O,Khasis guards crowded me. They put cuffs on my hands and grabbed my arms. They put me in a carriage with my mom and Meowki followed me. " Oh Irene! I've failed you!" My mom said as she started to cry.
