Truths Desire ~ Emerald Lodge (Aphmau fanfic with inserted characters)

Capture

*Aphs POV*

I'm so glad Lucinda and Zane are back safe...although I did realise there is something strange... Their eyes are green... which is odd but I don't want to question them, they are back and thats all that matters. Although they haven't actually been in the same room as each other yet, but Zane is antisocial so that's not surprising.

"Oh Misty, I'm so glad Zane and Lucinda are back, it's amazing!" I couldn't hide my excitement, it was just brilliant to finally feel like everything was okay again. But not everyone felt the same way. Misty shook her head slightly, staring are the floor. Gripping her hands in mine, I made her look at me. "What's wrong Misty?" She sighed and fell back into silence. It was a while before she spoke again. "Something just isn't right, and it's not just Snow's disappearance. Something about Zane and Lucinda, I just can't quite put my finger on it. If I were a strong enough witch I would be able to use witchcraft to help, but I'm not so it's out of the question." I smiled lightly, gripping her hands tighter in mine. "Please don't worry Misty, everything will turn out okay in the end."

As I spoke these words, I doubted myself. The thought ran through head several times, but when is it really the end?

*Lucinda's POV*

Ugh where is he! Aphmau is in easy grasp but stupid Zane is no where to be found! I swear if he tries to undo brothers work ill kill him!

I sat in the lobby area, surrounded by everyone else. Apart from Zane. Aphmau was walking around, being as cheerful as ever, but I had no time for that, the plan must go forward, I want to make brother proud! Until we had finished with our task, Snow could not come to finish off what we...no longer need...that's including that idle and useless apprentice of mine, well... I'm sure if I gave her more time she would adapt and develop... but brother needs me more! Plus why waste time on something that is only going to be killed? Forget about her now, I have more important things to attend to.

It was at least an hour before Zane finally showed up. Since we had both been set our missions and sent back, he hadn't looked at me once, thankfully. If he had that would have completely compromised the whole entire mission! But now it was time. Out of the corner of my eye, Zane nodded and walked outside.

Aphmau followed after him, and so did Aaron. "Zane where are you going?" Aph exclaimed, trying to grab his attention. His only response was, "I'm going to get some fresh air, you can come if you like." That was my cue. I walked after them, not acting too suspicious. As I walked through the door of the lodge and out into the snow, I knew this was no time to screw up.

*Zane's POV*

I stopped near a bush, shrouded in icicles and a thin layer of snow. Aphmau was speaking to me but I was half ignoring her. My she was going to have fun with this, she doesn't deserve to be loaded down with Aaron, when she could have so much more if she was with brother. That's what's brother wants and we won't fail him, she will love him if it's the last thing we do.

I turned around, locking eyes with Lucinda. A green beam of light shot between us for a second, invisible to the human eye. They it disappeared. Connection built. Now we all had a mind link, it was time to start the task.

I turned to Aphmau and spoke, slyly. "Aphmau, can you please help me and Lucinda to find our brother? We lost him in the woods during the storm. Now we really should find him. He requested to meet with you first, im sure you may know him..." Aphmau jumped back, trying to get away from us but there was no where to run. She tried to refuse but Lucinda put her under a spell. Perfect timing. She spoke like us now, as if she were half asleep. "Of course I would love to come help you find your brother! I want to meet him!" she stepped towards us but Aaron held her back.

*Aaron's POV*

I grabbed Aphmau's shoulder and held her back. I shouted at them, enraged. "Lucinda! What did you do to her!" Suddenly I was jolted backwards. I flew into the lodge, forced by magic which Lucinda had attacked me with. My back smashed against the base of the electric fire which burned in the centre of the lodge.

Garroth ran up to me, a worried expression on his face. "Aaron! Aaron are you okay?!" I sat forward, rubbing my hand across my sore back. Lucinda and Zane stood in the doorway, Aphmau standing between them. Lucinda only said one thing, "Do you know about Ultima werewolves Aaron? You probably should..." then they were gone.

Me, Misty, Garroth and Kim stood side by side, watching after them, as the disappeared into the snow. Fading. Magic hiding them from the seeing eyes. They were invisible. Invisible and gone.
