Zoey's POV

I watched Aphmau walk away from the Irene statue and stood up. I went back home after her, making sure she didn't notice I was gone.

I walked downstairs into my room, and looked outside. The sun was setting, the colors bleeding out over the sky. It's bright rays were now dimming with the fading light, and I climbed into bed.

"Did that song have to do with her past? No, it couldn't have. She doesn't remember her past. Is she lying? If she is, why doesn't she trust us with her past? Is it dangerous? Did she do something bad?

"Does she have that big a secret?"

I fell still for a moment but then went to sleep. I have to stop invading her privacy. Maybe, just maybe, she'll tell us one day.

Third Person

Aphmau walked upstairs and into her bedroom. She looked under her bed and pulled out a suitcase. She sat on her bed and opened it. Inside there were pictures, memory crystals, and most important, jewelry. Not girly or golden jewelry, but family and magicks related.

The necklace she picked up had the Irene flame dangling as a charm, as well as the mighty Thor's hammer. A star with swirls of red and black surrounding it signified the Shadow Lord. There was a boat with an iron sword printed on the sail, Isles. An Ultra Ball with white swirls surrounding it signified Pixelmón.

Then there was the most  important charm. It had a leaf igniting, wind pushing the fire aside. Water, or blue, covered half the leaf. This charm signified the elements working together. Without this charm, Aph's magic would go out of whack and be used at random times.

She pulled a picture out of the suitcase and stared at it. She, 4 years old, was sitting on Oliver's shoulders. Her smile was bright, unlike her's today. Jin stood beside the two, holding a ball of flame in one hand. She barely remembered that day, but she remembered Jin getting in trouble for putting the three in danger.

The water flowed gently behind them in a stream, and after the picture they had Water Wars.

Aph let silent tears make their way down her face. "I am so sorry brothers. It's all my fault. If I stayed a little longer, if I hadn't left. If...if..."

Malichi stood and watched from the door. His nightgown waving gently with the breeze.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" He asked. He was worried about his Mum. During the day, as to not worry anyone else, he acted normal, as if he didn't suspect a thing, however he knew something was up. At night, he always came to Aph's room to check on her. Even if it was supposed to be the opposite way around.

He always saw her murmuring, crying, maybe even both in her sleep.

"M-Malichi. Don't worry about it, it's just memories." His mum (Sorry, my British side is kicking in!) replied hastily.

"Mom, don't lie. I'm not a little kid, well, I wasn't. I know something's up. I was a ghost before I turned human, I can tell you're lying," he said, smiling as his little mishap, but frowning when he reached the end of the sentence.

"Malichi. C-Can you keep a secret?" His mum replied, her tears slowly subsiding.

"Of course!"

"Well then, climb on up here. Time for some explaining." She put emphasis on the word some.

Malichi nodded and sat on the bed next to her.

(Some scenes will be made up, and ages edited. This is for reading purposes)

"Long, but not so long, ago, when I was your age, I started a journey with two childhood friends. Their names were Satiel and Castor. At the time, we were in a place far away, where instead of animals, creatures called Pokémon inhabited the region. At 8 years old you were allowed to start your journey."

Flashback

"Castor!! Castor!! Wake up!!" Aphmau yelled, jumping on her friend. Satiel laughed in the background, but eventually stopped and went in the kitchen to eat breakfast.

"Why?" He said groggily.

"We get Pokémon today!" She shrieked and ran off to get changed out of her Charizard one piece. The two boys spent the night at Aph's place. They were the best of friends, and they were embarking on an epic adventure, one that would change their lives.

Flashback Over

"So, the Castor guy forgot his first day?" Malichi laughed slightly, but stopped when he thought of something. "Who are Satiel and Castor?" He asked.

"Those are secrets for another time. For now, go to bed. It's late," Aphmau responded.

"But I'm not tired!" Malichi complained.

Aphmau held a long, fearful, saddened look in her eyes, but despite that, said, "Want me to tuck you in?"

Malichi nodded enthusiastically and Aphmau stood up. She picked him up and carried him to his room.

Tiny tim skip. (You Markiplier fans will get it💜)

Aphmau laid in her bed, slowly letting slumber take over her mind and body.

Dream Land

"No! Why would you?!" Aphmau yelled.

"You're having so much fun with your friends, so they need to die." A mysterious voice echoed out of the darkness.

"B-but. They're my friends. My only friends." Some tears slipped down her face. "Wait. What if I leave? Will you leave them alone?"

"Only if you leave within 24 hours." The mysterious voice called. Echoes of footsteps could be heard throughout the building Aph was in. A man stepped out of the dark.

He had shoulder length black hair, atop his head sat a hat the color of gold, horns from the top. A green cape was attached to his armor, followed by a scepter he held.

"I wouldn't want my dear niece having to much fun." He spat before disappearing.

Dream Over

Aphmau awoke with tear stained cheeks. She looked out the window in her room to see it was dawn.

"Heh. At least I set a new record," She thought and smiled.

Word Count : 621

I'm sorry for the late chapter. As I said, my writing's improved a lot. (Probably from the 27 stories I'm writing on just this account.)

If you think the previous chapters were bad, please don't hate because as said in the description this is my first story. I've learned more words and spelling corrections (With the help of autocorrect). I'd also like to let you know, on both stories updates will be late. I'm working under a lot of pressure, and with more stories coming out it's getting tough. Thanks for all the support.

Have a beautiful day my draglins and remember, stay hyper!🍦🍦
