In all towns there are thieves. So what will happen when all the lords children come to Phoenix Drop and Aphmau and her group of thieves decide that they want to steal from them? What would happen if the lords children fell in love with her by accid...
It's been a few days and we are still stranded on the beach. We have been searching for villages on the island in hopes of seeking help, or something to steal but no such luck. I'm really disappointed but we have a new plan.
Today we decided to start chopping down trees and Lucinda will use potions on the wood so it ages enough to be able to use on the boat. Apparently you can't use new wood because it will rot away quickly.
Katelyn has called everyone to start discussing jobs. Since Vylad and Cadenza are actually pretty good cooks they are on cooking. Everyone else is either gathering food or helping to re-build the ship. There are competitions going on as to who can carry the most wood.
There is another issue though, we are trying to save our food on the boat for sailing or emergency so we need to find other sources of food. When Garroth was walking the other day he said that he had found a clearing were animals gather. I think we should go hunting, I know killing animals is bad and all but it's the force of nature. It's just what happened.
I want to go with Garroth so I need to go find him. When I find him he is standing next to Laurance and McCloud talking about how to re-build the boat.
"Hey Garroth I need your help with something" I say sneaking up behind him
He turns around frightened and I smile
"We are running low on food rations so I want you to come hunting with me" I say "Will you?"
"Of course, I'll show you the clearing" he replies
"Thank you so much, I hope you two don't mind" I say smiling
"Of course not" Laurence says
"Aye it be ok lass" McCloud adds
I tell Katelyn that I'm going with Garroth and she seems a little skeptical about it. Just a little.
"KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF OR ELSE I SWEAR I WILL CUT OFF YOUR HANDS!" Katelyn yells at Garroth making everyone turn our way "AND IF YOU SO MUCH AS LOOK AT APHMAU THE WRONG WAY IT WILL BE THE END OF YOU!"
After the kind words of support from Katelyn, Garroth and I head off to the forest. We try to be quiet so we don't scare away any animals. But Garroth put his hand in my waist which caused me to laugh slightly because I'm ticklish.
"Don't tickle me!" I whisper pretending to be angry
"Aww ok" he sighs laughing
We keep walking until we have made it to the clearing that Garroth had spoken about. I jump up to the trees to see which animal will be the best and easiest to take down. I see a griffin that is about hip height that will be easy to take to take down if we can keep it on the ground.

I come down and tell Garroth what I have seen. We decide to wait for it to go off on it's own so we don't get hurt by any other animals. We have to wait about half an hour because it needs a lot of water. Eventually it does and Garroth and I move in.
While waiting I used some herbs around where we were sitting to make a tranquilliser dart. This should keep it down. I've killed animals before because it's what has to happen. It's survival. It still feels upsetting but it's either them or us.
We come in and I shoot it with the dart, it drops to the floor and Garroth closes his eyes and stabs it. Unluckily for him one of the wings of the griffin was still coming down so he gets knocked back. I finish off the job of the Griffin and I tie it up. Katelyn and Nicole know hot to chop up raw meat and stuff.
I try to wake up Garroth and he opens his eyes.
"Aphmau? I love you" he says all to quickly and he presses his lips to mine
"Garroth are you ok?" I ask quickly pulling back
"Where am I?" He states confused "oh yeah I was about to kill that animal"
"Ok I thing getting hit and done something to you, let's get you to Lucinda"
I make Garroth stand up and we walk back to the camp site, luckily the Griffin wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be so we had no trouble pulling it. I guess that's magical animals for you, but are they really considered magical when there are billions of them?
"Great Job" Katelyn says and she calls Nicole to help her cut up the meat, pulling it to the other side of the beach so no one has to see blood
Garroth tells me that he is going to go see Lucinda. When he leaves I decide to go to we Here Katelyn is so I can help her with the meat. I walk past the ship and all the boys aren't wearing shirts. They are also lifting up very heavy objects, I know Nicole can lift heavier but Mother of Irene. Well this was a surprise, not a bad one though. I pretend I'm not looking and I walk past the, so I can speak with Katelyn.
They already have cut up the meat and they are disposing of all the insides. I kind of want to throw up but it's also cool.
"Hey Aph, perfect timing" Katelyn says "Can you go tell all the boys to put their shirts back on?"
"Katelyn seriously? Like, are you really complaining?" I say sarcastically
"Well yeah" She shrugs
"Katelyn is a bunch of hot boys with 6 to 8 packs lifting heavy objects with no shirt on, what is there to complain about?" I ask
"Is that really what you think of us" a voice questions behind us
I turn around and see Gene smirking
"I swear if you tell anyone what I just said I will kill you" I say
"Oh please, I'll kill you in bed" he says flirtatiously
"THATS IS! GO KILL YOURSELF!" Katelyn says ditching the heart of the griffin at Gene
"What is wrong with you?" He yells
"What is wrong with you, Aphmau is to innocent for your crap?" Katelyn yells back
"Katelyn calm down, it was just a lame pick up line" I say giggling
"Hey it wasn't lame" Gene says pouting
"Well anyway I'm going to go check on Garroth" I say walking away
"No Aphmau, please don't leave me alone with the devil" Gene yells
I wait for a second and I hear Katelyn punch him. I then continue walking towards Lucinda and Garroth. Lucinda smiles at me and says that she needs to go get the heart of the griffin because it's an ingredient in some potions.
"Hey Aphmau, thank you for waking me up" Garroth says "Umm I'm sorry about kissing you"
"It's ok, you were acting so weird though" I say laughing
"I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you though" he mutters think ing I didn't hear
"So anyway how are you?" I ask
"I'm doing much better thank you" he replies hugging me
I smile and we talk for some time while Katelyn is chasing Gene down for trying to flirt with Me. She is so over protective.
