Aphmau's POV

"C'mon guys! I see the gates!" I yell, picking up speed. I'm planning to head to Bright Port myself to tell Dante it's safe to come back if nothing else goes wrong. I hear some shifting and fumbling behind us. I look back at the horses and see Zane and The Stranger shifting as they slept. Garroth had to reluctantly knock them out because when The Stranger woke and saw Zane, he nearly tried to kill him. We tied blindfolds around both of their eyes so a fight wouldn't break out again. The Stranger is gritting his teeth and a tear runs down his cheek. "Laurence.. Look." I whisper, pointing to him. "Really? You forget I'm halfway blind right now.."  my mutters in my ear. I giggle nervously and I tell him what I saw. "Oh.. Is he the blur of black and red?" he asks. "Yeah.. I think." I nod and wrap my fingers around his hand. "I can't wait to see your beautiful smile again, Aph.."

I wake up and go to the washroom. I get ready to take a shower and I pull my shirt off, then I look in the mirror. I see red spots on the right side of my neck.. L-Love marks!?! Oh my Irene, oh my Irene, oh my Irene, "OH MY IRENE! WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!" I shriek, noticing my legs are a bit sore. I blush crimson and try to keep cool. I wrap a towel around me and I go back into the bedroom, noticing Laurence asleep in the bed. His clothes are... ON THE FLOOR!?! I back up to the wall and sink down, with a thud. Laurence stirs and opens his eyes. A wave of cold hits him and his eyes go wide. "Wh-What happened!? WH-WH-WHA?!" he says, noticing he's in my room, laying in my bed. I start crying softly. He looks over to me and blushes a really, REALLY bright red. I squeeze my eyes shut tight and he wraps up in a blanket. "Aph- Aphm-mau...? Wh-What happened l-last n-night?" he asks, his voice quavering. "I-I d-don't k-know.." I sob. He picks up his clothes and rushes into the bathroom, then returns a few seconds later fully clothed. He kneels down and hugs me tight. "Wh-whatever ha-happened... I am so, so so sorry..." he mumbles into my ear. I hug him back and we stay like that for a bit. I have no idea what happened and I am so scared.. Please, Irene.. Let this be some scary nightmare...

My eyes fling open. "LAURENCE ZVAHL!" I scream, shooting up. "Uh-oh.. I should run." Laurence's voice says from downstairs. "Good luck Laurence." Lauren giggles. I race downstairs with my hair falling down from it's original ponytail. "You better run!" I yell, chasing after him. I catch up to him, backing him up to a wall. "H-Hey, A-Aphmau...! Wh-what's up...?" he asks nervously. "More like what's DOWN in eight months!" I say with an enraged tone. (Thank you, Lady Katelyn! XD) There was an awkward silence. Then I notice his skin got paler and his nose started bleeding a little. "...Wh-wha..?" he manages, with a lump in his throat. "You did..  'things' to me last night, didn't you!?" I snap. He glances at my neck. "D-Do you h-have h-hickeys?.." he mumbles, swaying a bit. I notice nearby villagers watching us. "You, Mr, are coming with me." I say, grabbing him by the ear. "H-Hey! OW!" he yelps. We trudge back off towards my house. "We're taking this upstairs, Mr!" I drag him in the house and Lauren, Zoey, and Haylee are giggling. At least the boys are asleep in their room..  I pull him upstairs and when I shut the door he's in the line of fire and can't get out, mostly because he can't see and, I'm blocking the door.

Zane's POV (Well this never happens!)

I awake to thuds against the wall. Ugh, that stupid Aaron must be awake. I pull my mask up over my ears and curl up on the hard mattress. "U-Uh.. B-baby br-brother... I kn-know yo-you probably d-don't c-care, but.. H-here's some breakfast.." a voice I recognize to be Garroth's mumbles by the door, and he opens the cell door and puts a plate of food by it. I wait until he's given Aaron his food and left to look up. He left a plate of eggs and bacon. I mean, it looks good.. but I don't really want to eat.. But I need to. I go grab the plate and sit back down. I pull down my mask a bit, and nibble on a strip of bacon. I have an eating disorder, so I would always finish a piece of my food on the time it took the others to eat all of theirs. I curl back up on the bed and try to come up with a plan... (SPOOPY! *ghost noises*)
