Aphmaus Proposal

Just a Faded Memory

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Laurance' POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Aphmau! We can defeat them! You don't have to do this!"

Aphmau...

"I do, Laurance! I can't risk this village being burnt to the ground because I didn't make peace when I had the opportunity."

But you still are, just instead, it's me who will burnt it to the ground.

I can't let her go. Not again. She can't leave me.

An infuriating pain snuck up in my head. My face started to squish up to prevent it from over taking my actions.

I opened my eye's, and saw I was now in a different scene. The scene I dreaded most.

The scene with the most anger. The scene where I almost left.

"Oh, Laurance."

He had a smurk arise from his face. His black hair covering over half of his face. The enemy was now talking to me.

"Just remember, she's mine now."

If he hurts her even more...

His words combined with the tone he used to fill it with definition infused me with more anger than you could ever imagine. I was infuriated.

I will kill you.

No. I can't let him take over. I would not be me anymore. I would be a Shadow Knight. I would be evil. I would be inhumane.

I tried to stiffle him inside of me. I tried to keep him hidden deep in the cage with everything else.

I can't let her last memory of me be of him.

My mind was telling me to stop. To stop me from transforming, but another part wanted me to forget.

To forget all emotions. To forget all family. To forget all life is worth living. To forget about everything I have done. To forget about everything that has happened in my life. To forget about her.

I can't. I won't.

As a substitute of my enemy unhinging itself, my body started to run.

To run to him.

To kill him.

Guards began to surround me. I wanted to hurt every single one of them. Hurt them for hurting her. Cut their throat. Anything I would do would never match the level of hurt they have done to her.

Somehow, I didn't let myself. I knew that if Iet myself do it, she would never forgive me. I had to honor her request. Her request to let herself be taken away by the enemy for them. For Phoenix Drop. For her family.

"Laurance!"

She cried those words from the carriage almost in motion. It was filled with despair. Her voice almost about to be gone. Her body almost shutting down.

"Get away from him!"

She was now talking to the guards swarming around me like bees to their hive.

She needs to let go.

"I'll be alright, don't worry about me."

My words sounded weak as swords were pressed firmly against my neck, almost slitting my thought, though, that wasn't the reason. The real reason why I was weak was because my heart wasn't how it should be.

Instead of just an organ inside of me, it had a real purpose. It's usually a stationed part of me implanted in my body, but now it isn't in its usual formation. Now, it is meant to be a part of me that is broken. A part of me that is meant to make you break. A part of you that is meant to be forgotten, but is impossible to at the same time.

I need her to be able to forget a part of her heart. To let the piece breaking off of her soul to fall and shatter to the ground, making me just another chapter of her life to forget.

So, this is why she needed to forget her memory.

She needed to forget me so she could move on. So she can find something within that cruel, evil man, and create love.

You're so hypocritical Laurance. That is exactly what she would need to do for you.

That doesn't matter now. Right now, all she needs to do is let go.

"I'm a part of the past. Please, just guide yourself through the future, and don't look back."

That is all I am. A missing fragment of her life needed to be missing.

I will miss you, my love.

And with those last words, my vision started to become a blurr. It was all just a foggy memory.

She was just a dream, and that is all she needed to be. She needed to be a faded memory.

Author's note-

This is what I meant. It is my favorite chapter. The emotions have the potential to be so deep, but me as the writer decided not to.

Thank you guys so much for show tunning in, and I hope you enjoyed!
