Aura's Tail. {Aphmau Fanfic}

Chapter 9: Wedding and Crash?!

As you all may know, things break. But, not always as you think. Of course, glass, bones, and fragile objects break. But, sometimes it's a mental problem. Mind breaks, will breaks, trust breaks and hearts break. Unfortunately, all of these have been broken, no shattered, for our young meif'wa. Will she? Can she, mend them, or let them remain broken?

"WHAT!?" No! I can't go back there!" Aura shouted. "Aura, people there need you. Are you really going to abandon them!?" Aaron argued. Aura sighed, knowing Aaron wouldn't back down. She stared at the ground. "Fine." She said, and without even saying goodbye, she left. It hurt for Aaron, it felt like he had a family again... but it was ripped away once more. It was dark, but Aura continued anyways. She hadn't realised how far she had ran that night, and she still didn't realise how close she was to O'khasis. Aura stopped, right in the middle of the road. Someone's watching me... She thought. Suddenly, in a flash of silver and red, her attackers struck. Aura felt a burning pain in her neck, then it numbed. She felt her heart race, then slow. Aura looked down, to see the tranquilizer in her neck. Why me...? were her last thoughts, before she fell down to her knees, then the ground. The last thing Aura saw, as her eyelids grew heavy, were three O'khasis guards, "No..." She groaned, before blacking out.

Lifting her heavily chained wrists, Aura's eyes fluttered open. She looked down, her mind still groggy. Aura wasn't in her borrowed black clothes from Aaron, but... a beautiful long gown. She traced the intricate golden designs on the soft fabric, with her fingers. Suddenly, came a male voice. "Ey, boss want's to see the cat. She awake yet?" Asked the voice. The ugly face of an O'khasis guard peered through the bars of Aura's cell. "Yeah." He said, before disappearing again. Another guard came in, but one that Aura hadn't heard or seen. She was a female, and walked lightly on the cold stone floor. The guard walked to Aura, and unlocked her shackles. "Don't try to run. It'd make things worse for you..." She said, letting Aura stand. The guard gave Aura a sad look, before leading her out of the cell, sword pointed at Aura's back. Another male guard joined her, and they walked Aura up stairs, and near a large door. As they walked past windows, Aura looked out, and up at the moon.

The guards opened the door, and shoved Aura inside. The room was dark, and it took a second for Aura to adjust to the dimly lit room. It was beautiful, and from a large open balcony wafted in the scent of roses. Then, Aura saw him. Zane's silhouette was looking out from the balcony, over O'khasis. "Greetings..." he said. "Z-Zane...? What do you want...?" Aura asked, knowing and dreading the answer. Zane turned and in the blink of an eye, had Aura pinned against the wall. He had one hand above her head, the other at her side. Aura looked into his peacock-blue eyes. Zane chuckled. "You're so beautiful when you're afraid." he purred in her ear. He was getting so close, that their noses were touching, "P-Please... stop..." Aura pleaded. "Aura, forget about him. And... our wedding... is in one week." Zane said, letting her go. Aura gazed at his face, longing to see the Zane she'd once loved. "I can't believe... I actually trusted you..." Aura said, subconsciously holding her necklace. "Heh, after that, I have this..." Zane said, pulling a crystal from around his neck. It matched Aura's but was a crimson colour. "N-N-N-No... Please... no..." Aura stuttered. She knew that when their crystals touched it would complete her transformation. Aura would become the monster she truly was.

"Now, got to sleep... my bride." Zane said, planting a fake kiss on Aura's cheek. The guards returned, and took Aura back to her cell. They shoved her inside, and locked the door. Aura curled herself in the corner, and sobbed. Please... somebody... please... she begged in her mind.

Four days later, Aphmau was getting worried. Aaron told her Aura was returning, but she hadn't. One day, she'd gotten a letter. It wasn't from Aaron.

Dear Lord Aphmau, you are invited to a wedding.

You are welcome to attend the joining of

Zane Ro'meave and Aura Boreas. You are welcome

to bring five guests, but please refrain from anymore.

We hope you will attend. Please R.S.V.P if you are.

Sincerely, O'khasis.

Aphmau dropped the letter and dashed over to the guard tower, where Jade, Charlotte, Garroth and Laurence were hanging out. "Guys, get your suits and dresses! We've got a wedding to crash." Aphmau yelled.
