Phoenix High- Slymau

Chapter 27

Aphmau's POV

I whipped my head around to scan the trees. What was that voice? If it is who I think it is... I quickly turn to look over at Sly and see if he's heard it as well. He was still leaning over the tent setting it all up. High probability it's them if he isn't alerted than.

Deciding it'd be best if I went to go find the voice without him I spoke up, "Hey, Stari, I'm going on a walk while you do that, okay?" I watch him look at me before he nods and begins to work again. I turn and walk into the forest for a few minutes before I decide to speak up.

"Aphmau? What do you want? It's been years since you last spoke to me!"

"You also haven't been in any kind of danger in those years," I heard her hiss.

'So it is her. The person who gave me the name Aphmau so that I could successfully hide from The Few.'

"That would be me, Jessica."

'Hmm, at least now I don't sound insane from speaking out loud to you.'

"It is handy, isn't it? Now you can go back and see Sly and tell him how you aren't insane!"

'He never thought I was in the first place though. What reason would he have to think I am?'

"How about the fact that he's standing behind you and watching you stand there and do nothing?"

I immediately turn only to see that, sadly, she was right, Sly was standing there with a confused and worried expression on his face, "You okay, mi amor? I got worried when you suddenly decided to take a walk by yourself so I did the only logical thing and followed you. Before you hit me though, I did it because I didn't want you to get hurt, Eddie told me that Aphmau and you are hiding... something."

I slowly push myself into a standing position since at some point with my conversation with Aphmau, I had sat down.

"That was me. You were about to fall over so I forced you to sit. Now pay attention to your husband."

I shake my head to snap out of it before seeing that I was walking back down the path I had come on with Sly's arm around me to keep me steady.
