-Aphmau's POV

Z had gotten rid of his problems, and now he had Aphmau. He knew her friends would obviously look for her, but that was no problem.

"Where are we going?" Aphmau asks curiously as they start driving far away from the place.

"Away." He says "No one can interfere once we've reached our next destination."

"What about mom?"

"Oh, Ziana? You don't need her anymore, she's raised you and now you're a grown woman."

No, stop! Aphmau screamed in her thoughts Take me back!

They were quiet for a while. What did he do to Aaron? And Ein?

-Kim's POV

Kim and Garroth had believed they saw Aphmau in a car that had passed them, but weren't entirely sure. They ran back to the others "Kawaii-Chan!" Kim says, finding her first. "Where is everyone else?"

"I think they're mostly upstairs right now? Zane-kun is somewhere down here though. Why?"

"Kawaii-Chan can you get everyone to come down here?" Garroth says "We saw Aphmau!"

A few minutes later and everyone was downstairs. "You said you two saw Aphmau?" Lucinda asks.

"Yes! We were walking by a road, and a car passed by" Kim replies "We saw Aphmau in the car!"

"It was driving away from here." Garroth adds.

Lucinda's eyes widen "Oh no.." she murmurs to herself. "Whoever took her is makung us choose."

"Choose what?" Garroth asks.

"Between saving Aphmau or Aaron and Ein from the forever potions. If we work to get enough of an antidote for all three, we'll never find Aphmau; if we make only one and head off to find her right away, then Aaron and Ein are stuck as they are; and we don't even know what exactly has happened to them!"

"I think it's like.., some kind of love potion?" Kim speaks up, remembering earlier. "When Garroth and I were heading out it certainly seemed like it at least."

"What?" Zane says, "It can't be, can it? Garroth?" he asks Garroth for confirmation.

"I saw it too," Garroth answers.

"Then that means something is going to stay permanently wrong no matter what we do!" Lucinda stresses.

"If we save Aphmau-Senpai then Aaron-Kun and Ein are stuck like that, and Aphmau-Senpai will be really sad for a long time! But if we save Aaron-Kun and Ein, Ein might attack us again, and then it'd be Aaron-Kun who'll be sad instead!"

"I knew coming here was a bad idea!" Kim shrieks.

"No, it's okay Kim! We'll figure this out!" Garroth says trying to calm her down.

"We need a plan." Lucinda decides.

"Think about this for a second!" Ghost says suddenly, scaring Garroth slightly who had been trying to comfort Kim before. "If only one of you can make those antidote whatevers, then they do that while the rest of us look for the lost one! Simple!"

"I think Ghost is on to something.." Lucinda murmurs. "Yes, it makes sense! I'll go start trying to get the stuff to reverse the potions, Kawaii-Chan, can you help me? And the rest of you can try to find Aphmau instead." Good thinking, Ghost!"

-Aphmau's POV

They had come to a stop for a while at a nearby town. Aphmau's body wasn't her own anymore as it had her walking farther and farther from her friends. It was the same feeling as last time this had happened.

She wanted desperately to break herself out of the control of the potion. She didn't even know who this guy was! Why did her mind controlled self ask him about her mother- oh.

Oh.

"Z" as she was told to call him before he attacked her quite obviously wasn't his real name, she had known that much. What names does she know that start with a Z? Zane, he obviously hasn't done this; Ziana, she's not even here, and she's not male, obviously! Zenix? She hasn't seen him in years! He's probably changed since high school like Gene and Ivy had.

The only other name she can come up with at the moment that starts with Z is one she doesn't know much about; Zack? The father her mother still refused to say much about? He certainly matched what little she had heard about him.. but a Werewolf? A Werewolf couldn't be her father, or she'd have been one the whole time too, right??

If this was undeed her father, why was he doing this?

-Aaron's POV

Aaron was on a little balcony, looking out at the forest. He was worried for his friend, but at the moment there was nothing he could possibly do. Garrotg, Zane, and Kim had left to go find Aphmau. Lucinda and Kawaii-Chan were doing who knows what, and he and Ein had been forced to stay at the lodge, which Aaron didn't think was fair. She was their friend, too!

Ein goes out to the balcony after spotting Aaron and his conflicted look. "Aaron, what's wrong?"

Aaron jumos a little, not hearing Ein approach. "Nothing. I'm just really confused about how everyone's acting."

Ein looks out at the forest as well, standing next to Aaron and leaning his head on the Werewolf's shoulder. "I've noticed that too. They won't let either of us do anything with this matter of Aphmau missing. You're her best friend, right?"

"Always have, always will." Aaron replies.

"Then I really don't get why they at least won't let you help find her."

"It's too late now; if I tried to find them I'd just get lost, and that causes another problem. I don't want to cause trouble."

Ein looks at him, moving his head off his shoulder, "It's not your fault. Everyone's just actibg strange."

"Very strange." Aaron agrees.

"They all seem afraid of me." Ein says, lying his head on Aaron's shoulder again. "I make eye contact with any of them and there's either fear, resentment, or flat out hatred."

"When we were gone in the woods, something must have happened to them?" Aaron questions, not sure of himself in that.

"That's the only reason I can think of."

Aaron turns to face Ein, "That's not your fault; I don't know what's wrong with them but you haven't done anything, alright?"

Ein hugs Aaron instead of responding right away, closing his eyes as the Werewolf wrapped his arms around him to pull him closer. "Why do they hate me?"

"They don't, Ein. They don't." Aaron tried to reassure him.

Ein looks up at him, "I just want everything to be normal again."

Aaron hugs the sad man tighter, kissing the top of his head as he said "I know. I do too."

Haaaa no you don't. Being normal again means hating each other >:)
So anyways, Z is Zack for anyone who either had yet to figure it out, or somehow didn't see where it said that in this chapter. And I've decided that Aaron and Ein will be suspicious of their friends and cause more problems from there blehh
