Aphmau's Life - Secrets Revealed

Chapter 18 - Royal Present

Aphmau's POV

I saw fire. Red. Sadness surrounded the air. I saw a man in armor walking. I followed. Surprisingly, I could float. I flew towards the guy and saw a red castle in the distance. Am I in the nether? That place mother always told me about?

I awoke.

I sat up breathing heavily. I realized that it was all just a dream and I sighed. My friends were sleeping on the ground with sleeping bags. It was morning.

I rubbed my eyes and looked out my window. Hope was curled up next to me. She looked so cute. I smoothed out her coat with a pet.

She purred and curled up into a ball a bit more. I got up quietly and tippy toed to my door. I heard someone talking down the hall, but I didn't bother to listen. I yawned and went to the bathroom. When I came back everyone was starting to wake up one by one. By the time everyone was awake it was time for breakfast. We went downstairs and I sat in my seat.

I heard someone sit in the seat next to me. I looked to see who it was. It was GARROTH! After what had happened last night he was the last person I wanted to see. I squealed and turned away.

Garroth chuckled a little. ZANE! He was on the other seat next to me. GREAT, JUST GREAT! I tried to avoid looking at each one of them and just eat. " Ah! Aphmau!" The king looked over at me. " I have prepared your gift for you, from me after breakfast so I just hope you like it." I smiled at him " I'm sure I will".

Once we all were done with breakfast we all got up. Everyone except for me gathered together in a bundle. I shrugged at them and looked around the room to see if I could see my gift. I then felt someone grab me from behind and the I saw a blindfold.

" Whats going on?" I asked kinda shocked. " " Were taking you to your royal present!" It was the kings voice. " I was lead to somewhere and stopped. " OK take off the blindfold." I took it off. I was just in a room with everyone around me. This has been a wonderful birthday party...the only thing that could make this party better is-... I saw a door across from me open. I tear rolled down my cheek and onto the floor when I saw my present....Mother
