Princess of Phoenix Drop

The Hooded Man

Aphmau POV

"What?!" Galatea calls. "I thought he was the head guard not your boyfriend." She continues obviously confused. Garroth ignores her remark and stutters out. "M-me and A-Aphmau d-d-dating?" I look at him, "I'm so sorry! I know you'd never want to date this." I say pointing to myself disgusted with my looks my character. "I know you'd never like me, the ugly and not so good if a character I am. But I had to. To keep the villagers calm." I say my voice shaky. Am I really about to cry? I'm so so weak.  I feel arms wrap around me in a hug, I look up and see Garroth hugging me I hug him back."A-Aphmau it's not that I don't think your pretty or a bad person, it's just... That, well. I may or may not....." He pauses.

          "You may or may not what...?" I say. "Enough with the love! It's grossing me out, what I want to know is how are you two going to rule a kingdom! And manage to find your parents in enough time for the villagers to not question you two?!" Galatea says annoyed before Garroth could answer. "I-I don't know. But we need more people to help us, Galatea do you know anyone?" I begin, "someone you'd trust with your life. Because I know one person but we're gonna need more than four people to do this." She rubs her chin thinking. "I know a few people."

~In the woods~

"Where are we again?" I ask, "we're close." Galatea says unfocused. "Galatea! What is it we're close to?!" I ask frustrated. She ignores my question and continues on. She stops walking and begins to crouch, "what are you doing?" Garroth asks. We hear a leaf being stepped in and Garroth pulls out his diamond sword pointing it to where the noise was heard. Suddenly I'm attacked and I drop to the floor, a man with a black hoodie was on me pining my arms on the ground with one hand the other next to my neck. "Put your sword down." The man said, his jacket was unzipped and he didn't have a shirt on so I was staring at abs. His hood had a willies red bandana thing that covered his face only his nose and mouth were see able.

Garroth throws his sword down with a loud clank. The man on top of me grip slightly loosens perfect. Using my right leg I knew him on the side making him let go of my arms to flinch. As he does so I push him down and jump on top of him. I grab Garroth's sword and point it at the man. "What is your name?" I demand. He smiles. I look up at Garroth and Galatea they seemed to be amazed with what I just did, "ugh. What are you smiling about? And what is your name?" I say coldly as possible. "Huh. G-Galatea?" The man asks looking at Galatea, "I'm sorry but....I don't recognize you." She answers slowly. "I-it's me. Aaron." He pushes me off of him and looks at Galatea. Her eyes slightly water, "A-Aaron...?" They run up to each other and hug tightly. Galatea pulls the hood off his head to show dark black hair and dark eyes it looked good on him though.

"I thought you were dead!" Galatea says shakily, still in the hug she begins to play with Aaron's hair. "I thought you were dead!" Aaron calls back his voice still deep but it was shaky. "Are you two like dating?" Garroth asks I playfully hit his arm, "Garroth that's a personal question they don't have to answer until-" I begin but get cut off by Aaron. "No, we've never thought about things like that." He says somehow his voice no longer shaky.

         "Oh that makes sense." I begin, "is this who you were looking for?" She looked at me and gave an uneasy smile, "n-no but he should help us." She answers. "Great the more the merrier."
