Aphmau's past ~=* A forgotten memory*=~ [Discontinued]

~*~Chapter 10~*~ Catching up

"Angel Wings, where are you??" I called out as me and Laurence raced to my camping sight. As we got closer I could see a faint glow behind the vines, and a silhouette. I gestured towards it and put a finger on my lip, motioning to stay quiet. We slowly crept up to the vines, and then I grabbed for my sword charm, and Laurence pulled the vines away, revealing.... A small wisp...
It cried out when it saw me and Laurence, "Aphmau?? Is that you?? Oh I thought you'd--him..shadow--whatttttttt???"

I was confused, I've never seen this wisp before , yet it acted like it knew us. " Um.."  I hesitantly replied," I'm fine but...do I know you?"

"Aphmau, you don't recognize me?? It's me AngelWings!" The small wisp flew in nervous circles

"Is that really you? Why are a small wisp, I thought you were a butterfly." I replied

"Oh that's my solid form, I was injured while being stuffed in that ugly cage."

"Though it was made out of gold.." Laurence shot back

The wisp humphed "Shush, I haven't forgiven you for what you done, but anyways that cage started sapping my energy, so now I'm in this for, recovering from the attack. I don't have enough power to stay in my solid form basically."

I brushed away my hair from my face and sat down, patting the ground next to me for Laurence to sit down too. He was still annoyed but, he smiled and sat down. AngelWings remained floating but finally settled on a low branch.

"Tell me, what happened with you and the Shadow Nights? What took you so long to come back?" AngelWings asked, not looking at Laurence anymore.

I sighed and leaned back against my out stretched hands, supporting me. I told her everything how I was in the fight, then washing away the curse with my powers, and then what the voice said right before I fell asleep. I hesitated, should I tell her about my dream?..I closed my mouth and said."That's it mostly." But Laurence looked at me straight in the eye, and tilted his head. He knew I was holding back on something but didn't say anything. I looked down, then my stomach grumbled, I just realized how hungry I was. "Who ready for some food? (MEHH WANT FUDDD, tehe, anyways)
Laurence sat up to the sound of food, "Man when was the last time I ate food?eh." I grinned, prepare for some 12 year old cooking skills, which are terrible." Laurence chuckled"I've probably ate worse."

I gathered mushrooms, water, and chicken to cook. While Laurence gathered twigs and branches. Once there was a pile of wood ready, AngelWings flew at full speed at the nearest twig, and sparked a small flame but quickly grew into a good sized campfire. I was looking around for a good pot to use, and luckily I found a big gourd that was hollowed out and was easily in half, Laurence also found a holy log with holes along the side. I was big enough to fit over the campfire and still be able to feel the warmth of the fire.

I borrowed Laurence's sword, a shining green, jade? nah probably Emerald. I sliced the the gourd open and carefully filled it with water, carrying it to the campfire, placing it on top of the log. Laurence dropped the food inside, and i started stirring creating some mushroom stew and cooked chicken. i set down the bowl and looking at my reflection...i looked like my Mother, when she was young. I had seen a picture hidden in her wardrobe drawer. I sighed and let the soup boil for a bit, I looked up to see Laurence looking at me again, I tilted my head, and he looked away blushing. A slight smile pulled at the side of my mouth, but the thought of my mom made my shoulders sag at the thought. I poured the soup into bowls and quickly devoured mine, Laurence did the same.

I got up and dusted off my shorts. I couldn't stop thinking of my mom now, so I turned and spoke.
"Hey guys..um I'm going to head by the falls ok? I'll be there if you need me..."
And turned walking down to the mini beach.

I sighed and slumped against a tree, and started to think of my mom, where did she go? Why did she leave me? I now know that for sure, the butterflies that saved me was her, but why did she run away?..I stared at the water flowing down into a pool, then flowing again into agendas stream, looking at the moon reflecting of the surface. I crawled to the edge looking at my reflection again, hazel eyes staring back, my moms hazel eyes, the black hair, the only difference now was the scared look I had. I could never had been brave as my mom, running away from me was probably the hardest thing she did.  My eyes sight stared to blur, and the reflection rippled, distorting the image.

"Plonk..plink..zip..splash.." I looked up as a rock splashed right in front of my face, I laughed and look up. It was Laurence, I didn't know he was so good at skipping stones. He grinned from down the river, "Now there's the smile I look forward to." And walked over. I quickly wiped away my tears hoping he wouldn't notice.

"So, why are you out over here? You ok?" He said as he crouched down and dug around for perfect skipping stones.

"Heh yea I'm fine." I replied, trying to keep the quiver out of my voice

"Mhm.." He agreed half heartedly, then stood up, and flicked another stone. It skipped 4 more times then sank down into the water.

I was impressed, the most amount of skips I could do was only one. "Wow, how did you do that, I'm complete trash when it comes to skipping stones."

"Heh, I was always better than my um..sister, Cadenza...My.....d-dad taught me...before he died..." He stared up at the stars without another word, just a blank face.

I admired him now, my mother hadn't died, yet I was sitting here crying like a 5 year old. And now Laurence, his father had died, and he had no reaction to it at all.

"How do you do it?......" I asked in a small voice

"Do what?"

"Stay so calm..."

"Oh...." He looked away. We didn't say anything for a while, so I piped up.

"Sorry if, um it's a sensitive topic, I shouldn't be nosy."

"No no it's fine...just....." He took a deep breath and look strait at me. "When your a shadow night..you can't feel, you let go of all emotion. But now that you wiped away the curse somehow.. I guess there's still some... side effects......."

"Oh..." I wasn't sure what to say next though, I yawned and asked."May I?"

He looked at me confused, "sure?"

Then I leaned over and..

Rested my head against his shoulder(MAUUAAHAHHAA Srry no kissing yet >:))
By then I was blushing like mad, I guess Laurence was too, but he smiled. That's what I wanted to see.

"O-oh ok, um g-good night aph." He stammered still blushing, his face was rosey .

"Good night Laurence, sweet dreams." And we both fell asleep on the spot. But we would never get sweet dreams, not tonight. I would get the shock of my life, maybe his too.....

"Hello? W-who are you..." Said a deep voice. "My name is----..."
