Ultima Blood - Aaron's Year

Aphmau's Jealousy

Third Person
The snow had died down but in the cave The strange girl was still cuddling with Altea, while Aaron and Aphmau stare at the two.
"She's warming up!" The girl said
"Uhh.." she groaned.
"Are you awake?" The girl asked
"Uhh..." was the reply.
"Still needing more rest. I understand. You lost a lot of strength doing what you did. I still don't understand why you did what you did though...I don't understand why you did it too Aaron." The girl said
She turned her head to see Aphmau staring at her with narrowed eyes and Aaron confused.
"Your still staring at me." She told Aphmau
"No I'm not!" Aphmau replied
"You are. Your gaze is as bright as fire." The girl replied.
"That's not what she- she just." Aaron stared
"A gaze like an alpha." The girl cut him off
"Huh?" They both said
"Something about both your eyes, they like an Alpha's." The girl said
"What do you mean?" Aphmau asked
"Are you by chance a wolf?" The girl asked
Aphmau let out a sigh.
"I thought this was pass me long ago. no we're not wolves! But we've had experience with werewolves before. So if our gaze reminds you of a wolf then that why." Aphmau said.
Aaron just nodded not wanting to say anything.
"I see..." the girl said
They sat in silence for while.
"Your friends with the wolves. Aren't you?" Aaron asked
"I am. You two seem rather calm about it." She said
"We've heard rumors about the wolves around here. But like I said..we've befriended many werewolves, so the word wolf doesn't  scare as much as it would normal humans." Aphmau replied.
"That's good." She said
Then a howl echoed through the cave
"Huh?" The girl said standing up. She walked over to the entrance as Aaron sat and whispered for Altea to wake up.
More bowls filled the snowy sky as the strange girl stood near the entrance listening.
"No." She said after a howl.
Then another howl.
"I thought I had more time.." The girl said
"What's going on?" Aphmau asked coming up behind the girl
"'We need her to wake up!" The girl replied
"Why? What's wrong!" Aaron asked
"Our Alpha is coming. If he finds her here, he'll hurt her!" The girl said and ran back into the cave
"Who? What?" Aaron and Aph said at the same time
"Wake up! Please!" The girl said tapping Altea and moving closer to her
"What are you doing to her!?" Aaron asked
"She needs more of my body heat."The girl replied
Aaron growls,
"No she doesn't!" He muttered
Time skip a few minutes in the video
Aaron was hugging Altea as Aphmau stood beside him and the strange girl watched them.
Altea let out a small groan and the girl
Smiled.
"She waking up!" The girl said.
"Aaron..." she muttered.
"She's waking up!" She said and then ran over to the other side pushing Aaron away.
"Aaron..you feel so warm...uh..huh?" Altea said her eyes open. She looked at the girl as she laughed nervously. Altea jumped away not noticing the evil eyes Aaron behind her.
"What the! Who are you!?" Altea said going wide eyed
"Your so warm? What's that supposed to mean?" Aphmau a sked
"Aph! Aaron!  Your here." Altea sis stirring alien to face the unhappy couple.
"Of course we are. Remember?" Aaron said crossing his arms across his chest.
"What's going on?" Altea sked
"I wanted to thank you and Aaron for before. For what you did in the forest." The girl said
"What did you do in the forest Aaron!?" Aphmau asked her eyes narrowed and glaring at the two siblings and the girl.
"I..uh..I have no idea what's going on!?" Aaron said slightly pale.
"I didn't know men could be so kind and gentle like woman." The girl added making Aaron and Altea go even more pale and Aphmau red with anger.
"WHAT!!?" Aphmau yelled
"I don't know what's she talking about!?!" Aaron said quickly.
Aphmau threw a rock at him and he ducked and Altea side stepped out of the way.
"Woah!" Altea said
"You two better know what she talking about or I-" Aphmau was cut off by a howl filling the cave.
"Wait ,.what.." Altea muttered
"We have to leave now!" The girl said
"What?! Don't change the subject!"Aphmau said
"We have to leave this place! Quick!" The girl said and ran towards the exit
"In the snow!?" Aaron asked
"We can't!" Aphmau added
"We have no choice! We've waited to long. We'll find a new cave. But if the alpha finds us here then who knows what he'll do. Please. I help you three back home. But we have to go!" The girl said.
Then she turned and ran out the cave.
"Should we follow her?" Aaron asked
"I don't know what's going on but if an alphas coming then things can get pretty violent. We should go." Altea said
"Right..But Aaron." Aphamu said
"Yeah?" He answerd
"Your going to tell me what happened between you to when this is over!" She said
"Aph! Nothing happened! We don't even know her!" Altea jumped in.
"Are you three coming! We have to hurry!" The girl said appearing at the entrance
"We'll talk later." Aphmau said and she turned to follow the girl
"I don't even..uhhhh!" Aaron said.
He then grabbed Altea's hand and they both ran out the cave.
The three of ran for a few minutes until they reached a cave.
"Quick in here!" The girl said and ran past the three of them.
The theee shrugged and ran after her.
"Where are we?" Aphmau asked
"A cave system. If we follow the right tunnel we should get to your home."  The girl answered.
"How do you know?" Aaron asked
"We use these cave a lot. Quick. This way." The girl said and ran down a tunnel.
"I don't think we should trust her.." Altea said
"Welll. Apparently you two trusted her in the woods." Aphmau sassed and then ran after the girl.
"Uhhh!" Altea groaned.
"What did we do!?" Aaron said
Then they ran after them and passed Aphmau.
"This way!" The girl said as she kept running.
Aphmau slowed down and stopped panting. Aaron and Altea stopped,  turned around and looked at her.
"Aph? Are you okay?" Aaron asked and ran over to her along with Altea.
"How are you all able to run so fast! I'm so exhausted..and tired..and hungry." Aphmau panted
"We're almost there. Come on..we'll walk with you!" Altea said then the three of them started walking down the tunnel.
"Where did she go!" Aphmau said as they stopped with two tunnels infront of them.
Altea sniffed both tunnels and frowned.
"I don't know." She said
"Let's try this way." Aaron said
The girls nodded and walked through the left tunnel.
The tunnel stared changing to blueish green sparkly stones. Then they entered a huge room with a water fall.
Altea's POV
"Woah! It's a huge underground cavern." Aphmau said
"How's this even here!?" I ask
"What's going on..?" Aaron said
"HELP! Please!" A voice said making the three of us turn.
I stared at a cage hanging from the ceiling.
"LUCINDA!?" We said and ran over.
As we got close a scent filled my nose and I saw my eye sight blurr slightly. I didn't tell Aaron as we stopped and looked up at the orange haired witch.
"Aphmau! Aaron! Altea! Is it really you!?" Lucinda said looking down at us.
"Yes!" Aaron said
"It's us!" I said
"How did you guys get here?" Lucinda sked
"We should be asking you that! How did you end up in here!?" Aphmau said
"It's a long story... just know that we're in danger." Lucinda said
"Wait what are you talking about?" I asked her ignoring the scent entering my nose.
"Look, is I don't know exactly what's going on..but someone is down here and they're doing something terrible!" Lucinda said
"Like what?!" Aaron asked
"I don't know what they're up to, but they're making potions that's last forever." Lucinda said making me tense.
"What?" Aphmau said, "that's impossible!"
"Aphmau...it is." Lucinda said
"N-No it's not! I learned in highschool witchcraft that forever potions are impossible." Aphmau said
"APHMAU IM A WITCH!" Lucinda said through gritted teeth
I raised my eye brow.
"I've been studying this for years! Trust me! They do exist! And they're dangerous!" Lucinda said
"How?" Aaron asked
"They're part of a forbidden spell, and potion...I-I don't know there real name for them, but my mom called them forever potions. They were supposed to go out of circulation over 100 years ago." Lucinda said.
I looked saw Aaron look at me and I avoided his gaze.
"I don't know how this person is making to make them but they have and they used the potion on Zane!" Lucinda said
"Z-Zane?!" Aphmau squeaked
A rumbling came from cave we had come from. I turned my head towards the sound as the strange scent made my eyes go blurry again.
"What was that?" I asked shaking my head
"Hea coming back! Quick! You three need to go!" Lucinda said
"No! No way! We aren't leaving you!" Aphmau said
"You need too!" Lucinda said eyeing the tunnel.
"Aaron, Altea! Quick help me find a way to get her out!" Aphmau said
I looked up at Lucinda and then walked back.
"I could jump and try to-"
I was cut off by another rumble.
No time! No time! You three need to get out of here and figure out what's going on! Go now!" Lucinda sai panick in her voice, "whoever this person is. They're dangerous."
"LUCINDA!" Aphmau yelled.
We're not going to leave you!" I said as Aaron nodded
"Please! If you three get caught we're doomed!." Lucinda said
"Lucinda..." Aphmau said looking down
"Just go!" She yelled
"Uhh..she's right." Aaron said
"We'll be back for you!" I said
"Just remember this.. whoever is doing this isn't a wizard or witch. This persons spells aren't powerful. This person is new to this. There's no way they no a lot about these potions. You guys have the upper hand." Lucinda said
"Lucinda..." Aphmau whimpered
"NOW GO!" Lucinda said
We all stared at each other. Then Aphmau ran through another tunnel and Aaron followed her. I looke dback at Lucinda.
"...be safe..promise you'll fight." I said
"Promise..go!" She said and then I ran out following my brother.
I found Aaron and Aphmau talking.
"...We have tog eat out of here if we're going to help" I heard Aaron said
"Yes but-"
"Hey. I think I recognize this place." I cut Aphmau off pushing past the two.
"We were her before!" I said as they turned to look at me.
Aaron raised an eyebrow at me.
"This way!" I said and ran down a tunnel.
I heard their footsteps behind me. Soon I found the secret passage way and exited into the room.
"Lucinda.." Aphmau whimpered.
"Aph. Well her back. I promise." I told her.
"She said something about Zane being affected by the potion." She said
"We have to talk to him and see what he knows." Aaron said
Then he left the room and Aphmau followed him. I stared into the tunnel and took a sniff as the scent filled
My nose Again. My eye sight went black and I felt a touch on my neck. I shook my head frantically until my vision came back and I stepped away from the passage and ran out the room after Aaron.
