Aphmau 's pov
If I could turn back the clocks I would. . But I can't. I want to get up and pretend that today isn't happening and that my boys are in their room. Laurence, Garroth and Dante are waiting for me down stairs . Zoey making breakfast. But I know it's not. I have to face the day

I get up out of my bed.
I grab my sword and run my fingers through my hair.
It will have to do
I walk downstairs and see Laurence and Dante.
"morning boys "I say
"Lady Aphmau.i wish I could say good morning but ...
"That's not the case "I say
"They will be here and we still can't find Nicole "Dante says
"I wish I could do more for her but Zane got that old man wrapped around his finger "I mutter
"We're still looking "Laurence says
"If we don't find her in three hours. I don't know...
"None of us will come to any harm Lady Aphmau. I assure you "Laurence says
"Wheres Garroth "
"Finalising the plan off attack "Dante says
"I see "
"I should get to my post but I will see you both at the wall"Dante says
I nod
Dante opens the door
"Oh and Dante,Thank you "
"Just doing my job M'lord "Dante says with a faint smile before he walks off
Laurence closes the door
"Who's the suspect "I say
"Brian "
"What "
"The mole. It's Brian. Garroth gone to arrest him "Laurence says

"Oh and Dante doesn't know that "I say
"No. There's evidence to support our claims as Lady Katelyn she's been watching him for some time and well. It's true M'lady. I'm sorry "
"I understand "
"He didn't do alone as Lady Katelyn said "
"What...
"It's someone closer than we think"Laurence says
"Who"
"I don't know "
"Garroth and Dante they would never "
"I know but Aphmau we have to look at them "
"Even we are suspects "I say
"M'lady you and I both know we would never "
"I know Laurence. However if we have to look at our own we will. I'm not going to just bury my head in the sand"
"Lady Aphmau how are you feeling "
"Honestly Laurence. I'm terrified"
Laurence hugs me
"You wouldn't be the first to say it"He whispers
"I've sent everyone away and then if we fail. We could die and Garroth will have to go back to O'kahisis and I just want this to end "I say
"Aph... it will.. just breathe. "
"I can't do anymore... I can't fight this anymore "
"You can't give up Aphmau... not yet
I look up at him
"This might be our last moment together alone. Lady Aphmau I won't let them take you but war is a dangerous thing. I hope Irene today is in our favour. But if she is not there is something I would like to do if I may "
I nod
Laurence places his hand in my cheek and kisses me
I place my head against his
"I will never leave you."
He takes my hand
"I know"
"I will always love you regardless of what ever happens today "
"I love you too "I say
"We should go "Laurence says letting go of me
I nod
At the wall
Me and Dante run to the wall
This was really happening
I get up
"I thought you we're arresting him"Laurence mutters to Garroth
"I've been tracking his activity. He thinks he knows the plan but he doesn't know what's coming "Garroth says
I look ahead and see Zane and the Lord of Scaleswind
"HAVE YOU FOUND MY DAUGHTER "
"No we haven't. Zane please listen to me. What can I do to make this stop"
"I've told you Lady Aphmau.. Marry me."
"Lady Aphmau think about this . If you marry him...Garroth says
"If I marry you will this end now "
"Possibly "Zane smirks
"THEN FINE I'll marry you "
"Yeah. If you make it through this war alive "
"What ..."
"Get ready to FIRE"
"Let's get off this dam wall. "I say
We clamber down the ladder.
"Garroth,Dale stay here. Lead the operation. Me ,Dante and Laurence are going to track down the traitor "
I see Brian running back towards the village
"Lets get him"I say
"No. We need to follow him . He could lead us to Nicole"Laurence says
I nod
We slowly begun to follow him.
"The old lords house"I mutter
"The underground bunker. That's where he's headed "Dante says
"Lets go "Laurence yells
We walk after him
"Dante go find Nicole in that bunker. Me and Laurence will arrest Brian "I say
Dante nods before heading towards the bunker
"So what's the. Pl...
"BRIAN "I yell
"Aph I thought we were supposed to be discrete "Laurence says
He begins to run
"After him " I yell
Laurence runs ahead of me and tackles him down
"Get off me "Brian mutters
I catch up with them
"Brian you are under arrest for the acts of Espionage and Treason against the village of Pheonix drop "I say as I try to catch my breath
"You have no proof "
"Oh we do .. mountains "Laurence says
Brian pushes Laurence of him and begins to run
"Laurence are you
"Aphmau I'm fine just go now "
I nod and run after him
I run through the village and I see him
I jump on his and hold him down
"We can add resisting arrest to your charge if you'd like "
Aaron walks over to us
"Are you alright Aphmau"
"We've got our traitor "I say
He gives me a strange look
I turn around and see Laurence
"Good job M'lady "
"Aaron would you mind throwing him the cells. I have a war to finish  "I say 
He nods and I hand him Brian
Me and Laurence race back to the wall and we see Nicole
