Three Years

Chapter 9

*Aphmau's POV*

I woke up to the sound of knocking. I opened the door and it was a guard. "Yes sir?" I said as politely as I could. He woke me up. That's uncool. "I had requests from the lord to speak with you privately about something." I looked behind me. Garroth was still asleep. "Okay. Let me get ready than I'll meet you out here and we can leave wherever you want." He nodded and shut the door.

I walked to my satchel. I picked up a dress and threw it on. As I brushed my hair, something came to mind. Mirinath. I completely forgot about her. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote Garroth a quick note:

Dear Garroth,

The lord has requested a guard to speak with me. I will be back in a little bit. In the mean time, do you mind taking care of Lilith and going to look for Mirinath please. I think I left her some where in the forest. I hope she's okay.

Yours truly,

Aphmau <3

After I wrote the note I headed out. The guard was standing by the door. This is when I noticed what he looked like. Shimmery green eyes, that sparkled in the sunlight. His hair was pitch black and it looked so soft. His skin was golden brown or tan. He was gorgeous. I snapped out of my trance, blushing.

"Where are we going?" I ask. He pushes himself off the wall. "I'm going to bring you to the forest, right outside of town." I nodded and started to walk.

The guard told me to sit. There were already chairs set up. I sat on one side and he sat on the other.

"So why did you need to speak with me?" I asked, folding my hands and placing them on the table. "Aaron has decided to stay with the lord and he requested that he gets Lilith." My heart sank for two reasons. One, he was leaving me. Two he wanted to take Lilith. 

I curled my hand into a fist and slammed it onto the table. "Who does he think he is!? Why would I give him Lilith? If he wants her so badly he can come get her himself." I said, outraged. I was using my anger to hide my sadness. I hate how he keeps doing this to me. Leaving then coming back. I've had enough, "Also tell Aaron that he's not aloud to see me after that. I'm done with him." I said standing up. 

"I'll tell him for you." He said. We shook hands and went our separate ways.

*Lily's POV* (this is new isn't it? XD)

Aaron is so stupid. I thought he would be able to fight through the brainwash, but I guess not.

Let's make this clear: When Aaron walked into my house, he was completely over me and in love with Aphmau, but as soon as he walked into my office, he was hit with the spell. I wanted Aaron again, and if that meant making some other girl sad, then so be it.

I have complete control over him, unless he gets kissed by her. I doubt that will ever happen though. I won't let him see her again. Can't have my plans ruined my some snob and if that happens, she'll have to pay the price.

"Aaron?" I said. "Yes honey?" He replied. I loved when he called me that. "The guard has returned with a message for you." He walked into the room. "Where's Lilith?" He asked. The guard cleared his throat, "She said that you need to see her to obtain your daughter. Also after that she requested you don't speak to her." He sighed, "Fine. I'll head to the inn and get Lilith." He slammed the door as he walked out.

I turned to the guard and smacked him. "You know that I don't want the two of them together. It could become a... problem. Especially because of the spell." He rubbed  hid cheek. "I'm sorry, but there was no convincing her otherwise." I sighed. Nothing better happen, I thought.

*Aaron's POV*

I was so irritated. Couldn't Aph just cooperate and give me Lilith? Then I wouldn't have to deal with her and Garroth. 

"Hello Aaron." The voice said.

'Oh my Irene do you always have to bug me?' I asked.

"You are making a horrible mistake. I know deep down you still love Aphmau." 

I felt like it was right, but I shook my head.

'Look I'm over her. Done. I don't need her anymore.'

"That's what they all say," it said, "but they realize they are wrong most of the time. And I know that you don't want to leave her. "

'Look me and Aph are DONE. Get it? D-O-N-E.'

I heard it sigh, "Listen to me Aaron, I don't trust this Lily. I sense some weird power coming off you. It's not good though."

'How could you sense anything if your just a voice?' I said.

"I'm more than you think, but that's not important right now. Anyway, don't take Lilith away from Aphmau again. It's not easy being away from your kid, you know."

'What about me? I'm going to miss her too.'

"Do you actually love Lily?" It asked, seriousness filling it's tone. 

'To be honest, I don't know. It's weird. Like I'm being forced to love her.'

"Hmm. Interesting."

And then the voice was gone. I sighed, as I reached the inn. I entered and went upstairs. I knocked on Aph's door. "Oh it's just you." She said. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were on awkwardly. "I'm here for Lilith." She nodded and walked across the hall. She knocked three times, then the door opened.

Lilith stepped out and saw me. Aph picked her up and walked over to me. I went to take her, but she pulled Lilith away. "Lilith will choose who she is going to go with. Stand on that side." She placed Lilith between us. "Okay so what you're going to do is walk to whoever you want to be with." She nodded.

Lilith looked at both of us, then walked to me, then to Aph. "I want to be with both of you." She said. I bent down, "We can't." She pouted, "And why not!?" She shouted. Aph spoke this time, "Because it's-" she stopped in the middle of her sentence and covered her mouth with her hand, like she was about to cry, "we have to move-" this time small tears fell, "on." After she said that, she broke down. 

My heart hurt to look at that. 

"Go to her. She needs you, Aaron." The voice said. I ran to her, wrapping my arms around her. "Shh it's okay." She cried more. "H-how? Y-you keep leaving me and I-I have to hope and pray my heart doesn't shatter into a million pieces." I rested my chin on her head, "I know, I'm a huge idiot. I always mess things up and never realize how you feel. I only see how I feel. I want to make it up to you, somehow." Then I had an idea. "Aph, stay here. I promise I'll be right back."

"Okay. I'll wait. I promise." She gave me a smile. I ran out of the inn, this idea being one of my best.

HEY GUYS! I'm so excited to write the next chapter. Any predictions on what might happen next? I'm going to try to get the next chapter up today. I would hate to leave you with suspense. That makes me feel like a bad person.  Anyway I hope you all had a great day! I'll be honest, I hate Lily. The way I made her makes me hate her so much. I wanna punch her in the frigging face. WELP I'LL SEE YOU ALL IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!!! BYEEEEE!!!! :3
