The Hidden Princess

14

---Aaron---

Zenix, Malachi, and I got back to the main land and I grabbed the vile of water and the flower and ran to Phoenix Drop. I saw the gates and ran in. I ran to Lucinda's cabin and she answered the door.

"Aaron I'm so glad you found them. Hurry in. I need to make the potion before she's gone for good." She said and I came in giving her the things she needed. she ran to the kitchen to make the potion and I ran to Aphmau. She was laying on the bed, her breathing was slowing down fast and her heart was stopping it's beat.

"Lucinda hurry she's dying." I said.

"Hold on." She said. She came running in with a vile of rainbow water that was glowing purple and black.

"Give this to her or she'll be dead for good. Hurry." Lucinda said and gave me the vile. I pulled Aphmau up closer to me and poured the vile of the potion in her mouth. She was still alive so she could drink the potion without help. She was just dying not dead. I put the vile on the table and let go of Aphmau.

"Please work." I whispered. Lucinda looked at me and then back to Aphmau.

"She'll be fine as long as she wakes up within the next hour." Lucinda said.

"I'm not risking it." I said and moved over to Aphmau. I put my ear to her chest and could here her heart beating faster and faster. I checked her breathing and it was perfect.

"She's alive. She's not dying." I said.

"So she'll be fine now. She just need to wake up." Lucinda said. I smiled at her and looked at Aphmau. She started to move in her sleep. Soon she started to open her eyes. She opened her eyes and sat up. I hugged her and she looked shocked.

"A-A-Aaron." She said and hugged me tight.

"Aph it's ok. You're alive. Calm down." I said and stroked her head. She started to cry into my shoulder and I hugged her tighter.

"A-A-Aaron I didn't want to die. I-I-I-I t-t-t-thought that I was going to die a-a-and never get married or see my adopted son grow up." She said crying. Zenix ran in with Malachi and Levin and they saw us.

"She's ok." Zenix said. I nodded and hugged Aph closer to me.

"Is she ok." Malachi said.

"She's ok Malachi. Just a little scared I guess." I said. Aphmau stopped hugging me and I wiped her tears away.

"Aph stop crying. You're ok now." I said.

"O-O-O-Ok. If I'm with you then I'll be fine." She said and I smiled.

"Mom." Levin said and ran over to Aphmau and me. I picked him up and hugged him. Aphmau took him from me and hugged him.

"I'm so happy to see you." Aph said. I smiled and looked at Malachi. He looked sad so I walked over to him.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yea I'm just happy to see you're family happy again." Malachi said. Aphmau walked over and looked at Malachi.

"Do you have a home or family honey." Aphmau said.

"No. Aaron brought me back from the island." Malachi said and Aphmau hugged him.

"Welcome to the family Malachi." Aphmau said.

"You're taking me in." Malachi said.

"Yup." Aphmau said.

"Mom." Malachi said and hugged Aphmau. I smiled and picked up Levin.

"Malachi how old are you?" I asked.

"Seven." He said.

"Well Levin is five and he's your new brother." I said and Malachi jumped on me hugging me.

"I have a family now." Malachi said.

"And two uncles. Zenix and Aphamu's little brother Jacob are your uncles." I said.

"I'm going out to the village. Guys come on." Aphmau said and took my hand. She's so adorable I'm glad she said yes to marrying me.

---Aphmau---

I ran to the plaza dragging Aaron with me. Levin and Malachi were following us and Zenix was running to do something.

"A-A-Aphmau!" Jacob yelled and ran over to me. I hugged him and smiled.

"I'm so happy to see you Jacob." I said. We stopped hugging and I looked at Malachi and Levin.

"Guys. Come say hi." I said and waved them over. Malachi walked up to me and Levin hugged Jacob.

"Malachi this is Jacob. My brother." I said.

"Hello." Malachi said.

"Sis did you adopt again." Jacob said.

"Yes and this is Malachi my new son." I said.

"I'm Jacob. Her younger brother." Jacob said.

"Mom can we go to the castle." Levin said.

"Sure. Malachi come on." I said and took the boys to the castle. I took the boys to their new room and let them in.

"Mom this is amazing." Malachi said and hugged me.

"Well you're both welcome. Now you two get to know each other more and if you need me I'll be down the hall to the right. It's the first door." I said and left them in there and went to my room. I opened my door and saw a beautiful white wedding dress and a note. I picked up the note and read it.

Aphmau I hope you're feeling better if you're reading this. If not then Aaron I'm sorry for your loss. Anyway I made this dress for Aphmau so she'll look amazing at the wedding. I'm so happy for you guys and I hope you're happy with each other forever until death.

I smiled at the note and put it down. I looked at the dress and smiled. It was white with purple accents all around and it had a dark purple belt around the waist. It had a dark purple bow in the back and it had purple and white heels with it. The vale was white with purple accents on it too. I smiled at the dress and put it up. I put the heels and vale away and shut the closet doors. I turned around and saw my bow and arrows on the wall. I wonder if Lucinda put them there. I changed into a purple crop top and black shorts and walked over to the bed. Aaron walked in and saw me.

"Hey Aph." He said and hugged me.

"Hey." I said. He stopped hugging me and pecked my lips.

"I love you so much." He said.

"I love you too." I said and kissed him. He kissed back and pulled me closer. We stopped and I smiled.

"Get changed I'm going to bed." I said and got in bed. He took off his armor and put it up. He set his sword near the bed and got in. He was in a pair of sweat pants.

"Night Aph." He said.

"Night." I said and went to sleep. Today was not the worst day ever. Considering I was dying for half of it.
