Aaron -

Where could she have gone? She couldn't have gotten too far, right?

Y/n -

I saw Aaron walking in my direction, so I hid behind a large tree that was next to me. I decided to climb it since Aaron could probably still see me if I just stood behind it. I sat on a branch and waited for Aaron to come closer.

His footsteps were getting louder and I caught a quick glimpse of him. Swiftly, I jumped down and hit the back of his knees with my stick, causing him to collapse. "Hello." I exclaimed with my staff to his neck.

"Where did you come from?" Aaron asked.

"This tree." I explained, patting the tree with my free hand. "So, how was kissing Aphmau?" I mocked.

He ignored me. "Where do you plan on going?"

"Umm... that's not important. So-"

"Tell me where and why." He interrupted me.

"I... I don't know."

"You don't know what?"

"I'm not having this conversation here."

"Okay, then let's have it somewhere else." Aaron said, grabbing my staff out of my hands and running off.

"AARON?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING - FOR FUCKS SAKE!" I started sprinting after him for what seemed like miles. He led me into a cave and this is where I made a dumb decision. I followed him inside. Of course, he pushed a boulder over the entrance after I entered the cavern. "What is wrong with you?!" I yelled, snatching my staff back.

"You said you wanted to talk somewhere else."

"No I didn't. I said that I wasn't going to have that conversation there."

"Well, how about this place?" He mocked.

"Do I have a choice?" Aaron nodded his head 'no'. "Well, fuck." I sighed and sat down on the dirty cave ground. "Why should I tell you this?"

"Because you want to. You're holding something in that you want to get off your chest but you're afraid."

"I'm not afraid."

"Then tell me everything." I sat there silently for a moment.

"I need to find my parents, more importantly my mother." He looked down at the ground, but I kept going. "I need to get my revenge. She ruined my life and she has only gotten benefits for it. I need her to know the pain that she put me through. I've gone numb from it by now though."

"What did she do?"

"Ugh, do I have to go through this?"

"I mean, only if you want to hear my story as well." His story? Hm...

"Well, it's kind of a long story, so strap in." I said. Aaron sat down and pretended to 'strap in' by wrapping his arms around himself protectively. I laughed a little bit, but continued. "She never wanted a daughter. When she was pregnant, she was almost positive that it was a boy. So, when I was born it was a complete disappointment. She didn't even want to keep me at first, but my dad made her. She didn't really show me love, unless we were at some fancy party since she didn't want people to think that she didn't like me. Then later on, she made me get married to some rich prince who..." I stopped and wiped my right eye although I wasn't crying, since I let out all of the tears for this story years ago. "He tried to rape me and kill me. So, in self-defense I killed him."
