Aphmau's,pov
The wedding was a success thank Irene. . But Zane. I wonder how Garroth is .We were all making our way to the barn
I wonder if Laurence will be there
We all walk to the barn
I see Laurence and Cadenza with the children
"Levin has taken a big liking to Laurence "Zoey says
"Thats a good thing "
"It is . Especially since he's sticking around "Zoey says before walking over to them
Garroth walks over to me
"If my brother makes an appearance I think for the safety of the children he should be escorted out "Garroth says
"But I dint want to make it look suspicious . I care about the safety of the people of this village but Zane might try and twist the situation "
"I won't let him hurt them. I'll will not hesitate to make him leave if things start heading south "Garroth says
"Thank you Garroth "he says
The part begins. I sit at a table wit Laurence and Dante
"This party seems nice"Laurence says
"I'm glad you and Cadenza came l
"We're sat close to the door are we not "
"Yes we are "
"How did you do that "Dante asks
"Well the breeze is stronger here "
"Impressive "I say
Laurence smiles
I haven't seen that gorgeous smile in a long time.
"Did the wedding go accordingly "Laurence asks
"Yes. Exceptionally well actually. Even if Zane had to officiate it "
"Is he here "
"No. I don't know where is actually "
"Well you shouldn't think about him now. After all it is Levin,Kyle and Alexis brithdays. This should be a happy thing"Laurence says 
"I'll be back "Dante says getting up and walking off
There's silence
"Laurence would you like to dance "I ask
"But I can't see "
"And I can. I'll help you "
"I mean I would never pass up and opportunity to dance with a pretty young lady "Laurence says
"Once a flirt always flirt I see "
Laurence laughs
I get up and take his hand
I lead him to the center of the dance floor and I place my arms around him
We begun to dance to the slow music
"I use to be a good dancer "
"Really "
"Yes . I wasn't bad "
"You were when we were little "
"Props of  having an older sister "Laurence says
"She really cares about you "
"Yeah she does. I know she means well. Sometimes we just have differ opinions on things but I love her regardless but don't tell her I said that "
I laugh
"You have my word "I say
I look over the door and see Zane
For some reason I tightened my grip around Laurence
"Zane he's here "
"He is
"Take my back to our table and then you should go to the children "Laurence says
I nod and take his hand again.
Later
In the streets of Pheonix Drop
I walk walking to my house with Garroth and Laurence as I was headed to get changed
"Lady Aphmau "? Says
I turn around and see Zane with his guards
"Yes can I help you "I ask
"I'm going to have to ask you to surrender your weapons "? Says
"Excuse me "
"You are under arrest "?? Says
"Wait what . What for. I haven't done anything "I say
"Brother what is the meaning of this
"Lord Aphmau of Phoenix drop you are under arrest for espionage"
"Espionage "Laurence mutters
"Espionage are you crazy brother she hasn't done anything "Garroth exclaims
"We have reason to believe that she is trying to inter fear with the betrothal of The first born of Scaleswind and O'kahisis"
"This cannot be true "Laurence says
"Asking around after information for something that does not concern her . Spending much time with my brother . Trying to offer herself over to save her little lover . This is enough to charge her with "Zane says
"This cannot be true as me and Lady Aphmau are engaged therefore she cannot be in love with Sir Garroth "Laurence blurts our
What the hell did he just say
I had to play along
I give Garroth a little look
"This is true . Me and Laurence are engaged "I say
"I know your little games and they will not work on me "
"You are the high priest of O'kahisis are you not "Laurence says
"Yes why "
"You and your work I have heard of it. Cruel and heartless."
"You have no right to talk to me like that. You are just a mere common Shadow knight "
"I thought as a follower of Irene you do not believe in all of that "Laurence
Zane was silent
"Is this true brother "
"I um yes... they will soon be married "Garroth says
" You have my sincerest apologies Lady Aphmau for me and my guards wrongful accusations. I am hopeful i will be able attend such a nice wedding . We must now take our leave "Zane says
They walk off
"Aphmau I am so sorry "
"No don't be you just saved me "
"It was quick thinking Laurence . You saved her again . Thank you "
"I couldn't hear him spout such lies about Lady Aphmau . For a man with so much power he is a fool "Laurence says
"He is indeed "
"And I just hope you both know we're not actually getting married are we "Laurence says
Me and Garroth chuckle
"I don't think so. Unless he comes sniffing around again "I say
Laurence laughs
Later
Back at the barn
"Lady Aphmau "Molly rushes over to me and Laurence
She seemed frantic
"What is it . Molly what's wrong "
"She's missing . Alexis is missing "Molly exclaims
"Garroth quick over here "I say
He rushes over
"Yes lady Aphmau "
"Little Alexis she's missing "
"I'll get a search party started. Dante escort Zoey and the children back to Lady Aphmau's house "
"Laurence. You and Cadenza should go with them "
"Aph... something doesn't feel right "
"What do you man "
"The darkness of when Zane walked in the barn. It's back "
"I see "
"We will head back to your house with Dante and the children "Laurence says
"I'll start looking through the village. Molly do not worry we will find her. It's best you head back to my house. We will keep you updated "I say
She nods
I walk through the village in a frantic search for Alexis
"She can't have gone far "I mutter
I walk into the plaza
Zane and... is that ..
"Zane"I yell
"Oh little Lady Aphmau's come to save the day  "
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HER "I scream
"Fixing her . Some people are made to be broken "
I draw my sword
"You can do what you want me but don't you dare hurt her "I yell
"To late the ritual has already began "Zane cackles
Alexis sits up.
There is a flash
She's taller
"Alexis "I mutter
"Kill her "Zane yells
Alexis draws her sword
She's a shadow knight
"Alexis I won't hurt you. Just snap out of it please "
She keeps walking towards me
"Lady Aphmau "
I turn around and see Molly
"Molly run "
"Have you seen my baby girl. Please just help me "
She drops her sword and then her helmet
"Mommy "
Then she faints
"ALEXIS "I yell
I catch her in my arms
