World's Clash || Aphmau Fanfic || Book: 1

• Chapter 10 •

"Listen to what I have to say, and I'll let her go." Ross stated.

Everyone was silent. Kenmur looked pissed, but he wasn't provoking Ross for Emmalyn's sake. Ross spoke once more.

"I only want one thing.... A test subject."

"Take me then." Garroth spoke up.
"My duty is to protect and serve my village, even at the cost of my own life. I will c-"

"It's not you I'm wanting, I want your so called Lord as my test subject."

"What difference does she make?" Laurence snapped.

"That's for me to know."

"I'll die before you lay a hand on Lady Aphmau." Garroth growls.

"If it means protecting my people, I'll gladly become your prisoner." Aphmau states.

"L-lady A-Aphmau no!" Laurence stutters.

"Don't fight this, that's an order." Aphmau says, walking to Ross.

"Let Emmalyn go."

"Gladly."

Ross moved the syringe away from Emmalyn's throat. Pushing her to Kenmur. He catches Emmalyn immediately, embracing her in his grasp.

"Now, if you'll be so kind, leave." Ross said to the group.

"Listen to him." Aphmau commands.

The group seemed stunned, Aphmau seemed unusually calm. Slowly the group left, clearly not willing to leave their beloved lord's side.

"We leave at dawn." Ross announced, walking over to his brewing stands and working on medicines and such.

"Where are you taking me?" Aphmau asks.

"Nowhere important, now, I want you to put ALL of your belongings in that crate over there. Be a good girl and I might consider giving you a playmate."

Aphmau didn't fight his words, she didn't want to risk provoking him. With her in his hands, she knew he could do more than torment her village with the knowledge of that.

She took off her armor, which she had out in before setting out, and began emptying her inventory into the crate.

"Alright. Thats everything." Aphmau sighed, looking at Ross.

"Hmm.." Ross searched Aphmau briefly to make sure.

"Get some rest, pet. We are going to have a long day." Ross croaked, Aphmau looked taken aback by the nickname. Pet. It kind of pissed her off, but once again she avoided starting anything with him. Not seeing any beds, Aphmau asks,

"Um. Where am I supposed to sleep? There's no beds in here."

"I suppose the floor."

"Oh. Right."

Aphmau laid on the floor, clearly uncomfortable. She closed her eyes and listened as Ross continued his ruckus while working.

After what seemed like an eternity, Aphmau slowly slipped into slumber.

The next morning Aphmau woke up in a panic as Ross woke her as he dropped an empty bottle on the floor, it shattering.

"Oops. Well that was one way to wake you, come, it's time to go." Ross avoided the broken glass and blindfolded Aphmau's eyes. He also tied up her hands behind her back so she couldn't use them.

They leave the cellar. Ross got annoyed by the unbelievable amount of times Aphmau ran into something, since he was kind of guiding her.

They walk for what seems like forever, Aphmau had no idea what so ever where they were since she couldn't see anything. She could only tell she was under trees since the sun didn't warm her skin.

She heard a switch pull and a door open up, and then she was shoved in by Ross. The door sounded again, and she was led into somewhere dark.

She was shoved onto the ground, and we hand were untied. As soon as she pulled her hands out from behind her she heard what sounded like a cell door closing.

Aphmau had a hunch of where she was, or more specifically, what she was in. Aphmau removed the blindfold and blinded multiple times from the bright lighting, after her eyes adjusted to it, she saw she was in a prison cell.

"What do you want with me?" Aphmau asked, suddenly angry.

"I know of your power, and something like that needs to be observed by a professional."

"What does that even mean?"

"You have an ability I know nothing about, so I used your friend as an excuse to take you hostage, so I can study that little power."

Aphmau looked bewildered, Ross just smirked, them turned away from her to set up.

"I will learn about your gift, even if I have to beat it out of you." Ross growled.

"I'd rather die, than give you any information about me."

Ross laughs, "That can be arranged."
