The Hidden Princess

---Aphmau---

The strike of lightning caused me to hug Aaron. I'm not a big fan of lightning.

"How can there be lightning if it's sunny and not raining." Aaron said.

"Someone is coming. I'm not sure who but someone is coming." Lucinda said.

"And they need lightning to make an entrance." I said.

"Apparently yes." Lucinda said. The lightning got closer making me hug tighter onto Aaron. He smiled at me and hugged me from the side.

"I'm not letting anything hurt you." He said and I nodded. The lightning stopped and a demon appeared in the plaza. People stepped away from him and towards us.

"Why are you here!" I yelled.

"Oh honey I'm here for my son. He's somewhere I know it." The guy said. Son?

"I'm not coming back with you! I left that island for a reason!" Travis! Oh crap he's a demon!

"Oh son come on. What do I have to do to make you come back." The guy said.

"You're the demon warlock. I'm your son. If you mess with anyone here you're dead." Travis said.

"Travis don't give him ideas." I said. The demon warlock saw me and smirked. What is he gonna do.

"Who's this lovely lady. Your wife." The demon warlock said.

"No she my lord. I have to protect her and that's what I'll do. She has a husband and that's the man holding her." Travis said. A light appeared around me and I was instantly moved to the hands of the warlock. He put a sword to my neck.

"Protect her now." The demon warlock said.

"Aphmau!" Aaron yelled and grabbed his sword. Travis pushed him back and walked over to us.

"Give my lord back." Travis said.

"Ok. Would you like her dead or alive." The warlock said.

"I'm not answering that." Travis said.

"Travis get me away from him. If I die then so does my baby." I said.

"So she's pregnant huh. Travis get her husband we have things to discuss." The warlock said and Aaron ran over.

"Aphmau don't do anything." He said and I nodded.

"You want her and the baby alive then you need to make a deal with me." The warlock said.

"I don't make deals with demons or Devils." Aaron said.

"Ok then. Your loss." The warlock said and pushed he sword closer to my neck.

"She could be dead in a second unless you make a deal." The warlock said.

"Aaron don't do it." Mom why!

"Oh Lady Irene I thought you were dead." The warlock said.

"I am. I'm a ghost. Give me my daughter back now." Mom said.

"Deals honey deals." The warlock said.

"No deals. Give her back." Mom said. Instead of answering the warlock moves his sword from my neck and stabbed me in my arm. He then put some black powder over my head and I fell to the ground.

"No deals then this black powder will kill her in an hour unless you can find a cure." The warlock said and disappeared.

"Mom." I said and she looked at me.

"Honey you'll be ok. I know how to take that off you." She said and picked me up.

"Aaron get Lucinda and Zoey to her room now." Mom said and Aaron, Zoey, and Lucinda ran to the castle.

"Don't worry honey. You'll be fine." Mom said and ran to my room. When we got there, Lucinda, Aaron, and Zoey were in the room. Mom placed me on my bed and Zoey looked at her.

"You need a black flower, river water, Lily flower petals, healing and regeneration potions, a rainbow flower, and the blood of a person related to Irene. Use Scar's blood." Mom said and they all ran to get the things. Aaron looked at me and held my hand.

"We will save you." He said.

"Aaron I've had so many near death experiences I can't die today. And me having a baby doesn't help. I don't want this baby to die." I said as tears started to form in my eyes.

"I'll keep you and this baby alive if it's the last thing I do." He said and kissed me. He stopped and they ran back in with everything but no blood.

"Scarlet isn't here. She disappeared." Zoey said.

"Then use mine. I am Irene after all." Mom said and a vile of blood appeared on her hand.

"How do we mix it." Lucinda said.

"The order I said all of it. Only you have to mix the healing and regeneration potions together before you put them in." Mom said. They started to mix everything together and when it was done the final product was glowing a rainbow color.

"Ok now Aphmau drink this before you faint." Mom said and handed me the vile of the product. I drank it and gave the vile back to mom.

"Now it will start to work within two minutes after drinking it." Mom said.

"How do we know for sure." I said.

"You'll start to glow a purplish-White color." Mom said. We waited for a few minutes and I looked at my hands. Purplish-White!

"It's working." I said.

"Ok now this is the part that may be weird. But someone of Irene's life has to kiss you. I can't." Mom said.

"Who's of your life." I said.

"Aaron." Mom said.

"What. How." Aaron said.

"I'm not explaining now kiss her." Mom said and he did. I kissed him back and soon felt stronger and stronger by the second. We stopped and I stood up. I felt powerful, like I could kill that warlock in a second.

"Now Aphmau what just happened is that you're healed and your powers are now unstoppable." Mom said and I smiled.

"So what now." Aaron said.

"You're having a girl." Lucinda said and I looked at her.

"I'm having a girl." I said and she nodded. I smirked and hugged Aaron.

"I'm gonna have a daughter." I said and he smiled.

"She'll be the new princess of Phoenix Drop." Aaron said and I smiled. Besides almost dying today was actually the best day I could ask for.
