---Aphmau---

"Aphmau how much longer." Zenix said.

"Where at Nahakra village so we're almost there." I said. We rode past Nahakra and towards Falcon Claw and O'khasis. We rode up to Falcon Claw and stopped.

"Let's put our horses here." I said and walked through the village gates and saw everyone I left. The guys followed me to the stables and we put our horses there.

"Ok now to O'khasis." Zenix said and we walked back to the gates and to O'khasis. We reached the gates and Garroth stopped us.

"I'll tell them who you guys are. They know me." Garroth said and walked to the gates.

"S-Sir Garroth." The guard said.

"Yes and the queen of Phoenix Drop Aphmau and her brother Zenix. Let us in." He said and the gates opened. We walked through and everyone looked at us.

"Oh my Irene!" Some girl yelled and pointed to Garroth.

"He's back!" Another girl yelled. Garroth rolled his eyes and pulled me and Zenix to the castle.

"He's in here. I swear Aphmau if I get stuck here I'm blaming you." Garroth said and we walked into the castle.

"Garroth are you sure you want to be in here. I mean you could just wait for us." I said.

"I'd rather face my father now then later." Garroth said and ran to the thrown room.

"I guess we have to find Zane ourselves." I said.

"Ok then let's split up." Zenix said and went one way. I went down the other hallway and looked through every door. I found a room that looked like a work room. I walked in and looked around. I looked on the walls and found my bow sitting on the wall with the arrows.

"Found you." I said and went to grab my bow but a sword stopped me.

"So you did come back for the bow." Zane!

"Give me the bow back and I won't hurt you." I said. I turned around and his sword was to my neck.

"Now why would I do that. It's in my work room and my castle so I own it." He said.

"Give me the bow. It doesn't belong to you." I said. He laughed and pulled my arm and put his sword to my neck as he was behind me. His sword was across my neck pushing my head up and my arm was behind me with his and trapping it in place.

"Well it does now." He said and smirked.

"Ok then." I said. I had something up my sleeve waiting for the right moment.

"Good girl now say goodbye to the world." Zane said. Or you could.

"Zenix!" I screamed. Zane put his hand over my mouth.

"Shut up he can't save you. I have a force field around us so he can't get to you." Zane said. Dang it he's ahead if me. I bit his hand so he took it away.

"Help! Someone please!" I screamed and Zane laughed.

"What did I just tell you." He said.

"You never said it was sound proof." I said and kicked him. He fell and I grabbed his sword.

"Oh you are so stupid." He said and grabbed the bow and aimed it at my heart again. I was pointing the sword at him and he was pointing the bow at me.

"Give me the sword." He said.

"Give me the bow." I said.

"Nope. Sword first." He said.
