A Thief In Phoenix Drop

Ch34-Forced Again

Ivy's P.O.V.

THAT LITTLE BRAT APHMAU HAS ANNOYED ME FOR THE LAST TIME. I know that she has been sneaking into the kitchen with the Ross guy and talking with the chef. Teony or something. She had been talking about me, I know she has because I have heard them.

Last night I followed them back silently so now I know where the thief hideout is. I need to decide what to do with this information because I don't want to just give away the location. I want Aph,au to suffer,

I know she has captured the eye and heart of a few of the noble's. Ok maybe a lot of them but I'm not going to give up. I know she can't really be nice and sweet she is a thief for Irene's sake. I need to expose her. Make Garroth hate her.

I know that she stayed here for a while. She was really unhappy and she wanted nothing more than to go home and see her friends, maybe if I force her to stay using blackmail then she will become so unhappy here that she will hate the nobles. Then they will hate her back.

She is in the kitchen right now. I'm going in there and blackmailing her right now. It seems stupid but I'm to angry to care, I storm into the kitchen shocking everyone in there. Shelby and red head are playing cards. Teony and Ross are fighting over how to put the topping in an apple pie and Aphmau is drawing.

Aphmau's P.O.V.

We where all laughing and having fun in te kitchen when we are interrupted. Ivy is here and she looks furiousl she storms over to me and slams her hands down on the counter.

"Listen here sweetheart" she says, Venom dripping from her mouth "You are going to stay in the castle where I can keep an eye on you. You are the heart and soul of the theirs guild and if you're gone they won't be able to keep on stealing. I know the location of the thieves guild. And I can share it with the Lord Of Phoenix Drop and have you all arrested and killed, unless you want that. Now what will you do?"

I stare at her, completely shocked at what she has said. I can't really be forced to say here again. I have had so much fun being home again. I can't believe it's come to this. Please Irene, not again. I feel tears welling up in my eyes.

"Don't do this Ivy" Ross' voice breaks my thoughts

"Stay out of this!" Ivy says pointing her sword at him

We are all unarmed so we can't fight her off. My knives are being sharpened, and the ones in the kitchen won't do anything against answers. She is wearing armour so we cant use hand to hand combat either. If I don't stay then my friends will be killed. If I try anything they will be killed.There is only one thing I can do.

"Fine...." I say

"Great, now follow me, the rest of you, leave now" she orders

Ross, Shelby and Red all sadly leave. They are going back to the cave. Teony is making lunch so she can't leave. I follow Ivy down the hallways. She is leading me too my room. Tears of worry, sadness and concern for the theirs fill my eyes but I can't cry. down the hallway we see Garroth and Aaron. They stare at me shocked and I smile sadly. They follow us to see what going on.

We go to my old room and she basically throws me in there.

"Now, the Lord Of Phoenix Drop is going to be busy for the next few days sorting out what to do with you" she says "Now I hope that you enjoy your time here, not really"

She closes the door and I sink down to the floor crying. I just want to go home. I can't believe this is happening again.

Garroth's P.O.V.

I can hear soft sobs coming from where Ivy took Aphmau. I'm so confused as to what's going on. I'm going to get some answers from Ivy. I really want to go comfort Aph but there's a bigger problem.

I find Ivy coming out of the throne room.

"Ivy what's Aphmau doing here?" I ask

She looks at me and blushes. She crosses her arms and tries to make her chest... more visible. It's kind of uncomfortable for me.

"Oh well she is a thief we captured" she smiles, trying to sound flirtatious and sickly sweet "She will be staying here for a long while. I'm so nice, I am keeping her in the old room she had and not the dungeon"

She is now tracing her hand over my chest. I step back a little bit be used she is making me feel really uncomfortable.

"Ig you where nice then you wouldn't force her to stay here" I half yell

"Don't you see, I did it because she was a really bad person" Ivy states

"How would you know?!" I ask "You don't know Aphmau, Is is who she is, I love her for it"

"Wait what? You love her?" Ivy says looking confused and shocked

"Yes I do, now I'm going to my room" I say and I storm off

Aphmau's P.O.V.

I have dried my tears and I'm looking through the room . Everything's the same. All of my dresses are there. My bed is made and flowers are in a vase. All and all it's still beautiful. I guess no one wanted to change anything.

Suddenly I am pushed to the ground and a sword is pointed at my back. Out of fear I scream accidentally. I know it's Ivy.

"Shut up you brat!" Ivy yells "Now you have taken everything from me. You are going to die!"

Suddenly she is pushed off of me and I see Dante pushing her off me. She is pushed out the door and he punches her arm while he is cut in the arm with her sword. When she realises that she cut a noble she runs away.

Dante picks me up and I am shaking a lot. He sits down on the bed and I sit next to him. I feel my tears slowly start to fall down. Dante runs his hands through my hair and I just let out all my tears. I'm so upset about this. But at least I have friends here.
