Amber's POV

I was staring outside waiting for Aaron to come back. He took too long and saw that the storm was brewing in, so I went to where everyone was gathered in and everyone saw my sad face and asked "Are you ok? You looked outside for a long time and you look sad. Aaron, would never take this long to come back." Lucinda said. I said "He left into the forest and I am going to find him. I don't care if I freeze,  I rather find him." Garroth grabbed my hand as I was going to leave and said " Please Amber, don't go out there. It's freezing and you won't survive and I can't risk losing you after when Zane is captured." I said "If there is a chance that Aaron is still alive then, there is a chance that Zane could be alive too. I'm going to risk that chance now." And I left with a few potions to help me and I went into the forest. I searched in the woods and I started to shiver and then I saw something red and big on the ground near what I thought was a cave and then I went closer and saw Aaron on the snow lying there. He looked like he was tired and frozen, so I grabbed him and carried him to the cave and went inside a bit ad found wood to make a fire. I used my magic and made a fire big enough to get me and Aaron warm, I also hugged him to use my body heat to get him warmer than me.  We stayed there for the whole storm and suddenly, it stopped and Aaron woke up with a jacket on top of him.  He saw me in a corner freezing and trying to use my magic and then he stopped me saying " Amber, you're freezing cold. How did you find me and also why did you come out here?" He gave the jacket back and made a new fire and saw that he was healed by me and saw me weakly smiling.  Then, a wolf came in and saw me freezing and went up to me and snuggling me and laid down beside me and kept me warm.  Aaron was surprised and asked " Is this wolf a friend of yours? And that bandage on him, its your bandanna ." I told him "Yeah, this wolf was injured so I used my bandanna to fix it up. He lying near me to keep me warm as a thank you." We stayed there and then we left and the wolf followed us until, we saw the lodge and we ran to the door and then I said "Guys! Open up, its me and Aaron! We're back!" And then I forced open the door and saw that Zane came back and Lucinda too. I whispered to Aaron "Their eyes are different. And they seem like they don't know we were coming back, which is strange." 

Aaron's POV

I saw the same things that Amber saw and then we went upstairs where Garroth was hiding in a room and saw us and ran to hug Amber. "What happened when Amber came for me?" I asked. He said "Well, Zane went missing and we found him and then suddenly, Lucinda disappeared and she came back like nothing happened to her like Zane. Zane doesn't believe that I'm his brother. I also asked if he knew that Amber was his sister and told me no, but said that he knew you as a friend." We went downstairs to talk to Zane and I said "Do you remember me, Garroth or Amber?" He responded "Yes, I remember you and Amber, but the name Garroth doesn't ring a bell to me and I also remember Kim and Lucinda." Garroth looked sad and Amber comforted him while I questioned Zane and after, I questioned Lucinda. After, I left and found Kim making food in the kitchen and then Kim saw me and ran to tell me "Aaron! You're back! I'm glad and you did see Lucinda and Zane? They look strange and Aphmau is in a room upstairs waiting for Amber. So, can you get Amber and tell her that Aphmau is waiting for her?" I went back to the living room and told Amber "Hey Amy, can you go upstairs because Aph is waiting for you upstairs." (Amy is Amber's nickname ok sorry).

"Hmm. Hey, Aph are you ok what do you need?" Aphmau was siting in the upstairs living room and saw me and told me to sit down. "I want to talk to you about Zane and Lucinda." she asked. "Well, obviously they're under a potion that are almost impossible to make called Forever Potion. I haven't seen one in real life, but for our safety and others we don't go near them or talk to them, because they could be instructed to capture us and use the Forever potion on us." We talked about what we should do and we prepared for it. Me, Aaron, Garroth, Kim and Aph were in a bedroom telling everyone about the potion and what we should do about it. "Guys, have you guys realize that none of us have seen Gene ever since me and Aaron came back?" I said worried. "He's in the mansion somewhere." We split up and searched everywhere and he was nowhere to be seen so we gave up and went back to the room and saw that Lucinda and Zane were coming upstairs so we hid in the places that the room had to offer. Zane and Lucinda came into the room and was  talking "What should we do for brother Lucinda?" Zane asked. "Well, we could make more Forever potions and give it to the others." Lucinda said. And then, they left the room, I made a signal to not get out yet, since I was going to check and when I checked, they surprised me and tried to grab me. Everyone noticed and jumped out of their hiding spot and tried to drag them away from me. But, Lucinda teleported me, Zane, herself and also by accident Aphmau and disappeared in thin air. We teleported to the front of the lodge and Lucinda put a spell on Aphmau and her eyes had a green circle in it and then she looked at me and did the same, my eyes had green circles and as just as we were about to leave Aaron and everyone else went outside and we all looked and Aaron saw the circles in my eyes and Aph's ,he got mad and we disappeared.

Aaron's POV

"I can't believe it. Amber's gone so is Aph. " I said angry. I got mad so I punched the lodge and it shook and everyone got scared and saw that he was sad. Garroth went up to me and saw that I was crying. He told me "Aaron, I may not know how long you know Amber for, but I want to help you in any way to save them all of them." I agreed and we went inside and I was worried of what would happen if, Amber had a potion on her. Garroth told us "They could be anywhere, but most likely in the forest or a hidden cottage in the forest also we know that Zane and Lucinda are under Forever potions and could put the potions on Aphmau and Amber too." We talked until we went to bed. Since, we weren't so certain to sleep on the first floor so we slept on the second floor altogether. We had to calm down Kim from fainting again and Garroth crying about Amber. 

Sorry, for the last short part of Aaron. I want to continue to the next chapter so sorry.
