Chapter 33
My vision went back to being in the castle in front of that thing. It was snickering.
"DeAtH's DaUgHtEr Is ScArEd Of LoSiNg LaUrAnCe?" It laughed some more. "AnD tHe MaTrOn Is ScArEd Of HeR ViLlAgE bUrNiInG?" I let out a growl.
"Oh! WoUlD yOu LoOk At ThAt! I hAvE mOrE tOyS tO pLaY wItH!" I said.
Suddenly Aphmau, Dante and I were all in a glass box above the entryway of the castle. I looked down and saw Garroth and Laurance walking in. They looked super confused.
Somethings started coming down the stairs. It was Aphmah and Dante! Aren't they next to me?
I looked over and saw Dante was still unconscious and Aphmau was just as confused as I was.
I turned my attention back to the stairs and saw them kiss. Garroth was absolutely pissed. Then a thing that looked like me dangled from the ceiling. 'I' was held up by a rope around my neck. I couldn't stand to look at it so I turned around.
The next thing I hear is a child's scream. "MOMMY THE MEAN MAN HURT ME!" It cried.
I forced myself to turn around and saw a little ghost kid crying on the floor with Laurance next to him. He had his sword drawn so he must have hit him.
Suddenly, the glass box shattered, leaving Aphmau, Dante, and I falling to the floor.
I hit the ground first and Aph fell on top of me. She landed right on my stomach so I was at a loss for air. She rolled off of me and noticed I was dying.
"Oh. Sorry, Y/n." She said. After I could breathe again I told her it was okay, even though it wasn't.
"DANTE, YOU'RE DEAD!" Garroth shouted. Dante scrambled up and put his hands in front of him.
"Garroth that wasn't me! I was knocked out up there!" Dante pointed to where the glass box was.
"Y/N, YOU'RE ALIVE!" Laurance rushed over to me and hugged me so tight I almost couldn't breathe again.
"Yeah...." I said, gasping for air.
"Oh, sorry." Laurance said as soon as he realized he squeezed the daylights out of me.
"Are you okay, kid?" I asked the ghost boy. He sniffled.
"H-he h-h-hit me!" He cried.
"What's your name?" Laurance asked.
"Malachi." The boy replied wile wiping the tears off of his face. Aphmau walked over to him and Malachi flinched. He probably though she was going to hit him. Instead Aphmau hugged him.
"Y-you're not going to hit me?" He asked. Aphmau gave him a confused look.
"Why would I do that?" She asked him.
"Because I was mean to you guys." He replied.
"That's okay. Everyone deserves to be treated nicely if they messed up once." Aphmau reassured him.
Malachi told us his story on how he was killed and his parents and how he couldn't leave the castle. It was pretty sad to be honest. We decided that we would camp out in the castle until we could find a way to set Malachi free from it.
Time skip to after the whole exercise cause I'm lazy af
Malachi can finally leave with us! Aphmau decided to adopt him and it's so cute! Levin can have a brother now! We all got on our horses to head back to the wolf tribe. We were making good time until we got lost.
"Dante, how could you get us lost! We just went in a straight line!" Garroth yelled.
"Sorry I was trying to protect the girls fROM VICIOUS WOLFS!" Dante retorted.
"....didn't you guys also come out here so you guys are also responsible." I said.
"But Dante said he was leading because he knew the way." Laurance said.
"Stop your bickering! We need to find higher ground to scout out the area." Aphmau told us. We all agreed and Aphmau went off to a steep hill.
I climbed up a nearby tree and looked around. I looked down and saw the guys fighting again so I broke off a stick and threw it at them. They all looked up in confusion.
"Stop fighting!" I yelled down at them. I couldn't see them perfectly but I knew at least two of them rolled their eyes. Least they stopped.
I turned my attention back to the sky. There was nothing for a while until I saw a gold Wyvren. I called down to the guys and they said it was Garroth's messenger bird.
I climbed down the tree just in time for it to land. I learned its name was Raven. Raven gave us a note from Kiki. Raven also told us he could get directions back to the wolf tribe!
When he left the guys turned to Aph and I.
"What?" We asked in unison, obviously confused.
"You guys could understand him?" They asked.
"Yeah. You couldn't?" I asked.
"No. You guys were communicating in some weird language." Dante told us. I didn't really care so I just shrugged.
Another time skip from your tired and lazy author!
We got back to the wolf tribe after a while of walking. It seemed to take forever but we were only a couple miles off.
We walked into the middle and saw Nicole looking around frantically.
"Hey, Nicole. What's wrong?" I asked.
"Thank Irene you guys are here. I've just received word that Zane is planning an attack on Phoenix Drop. You guys need to get there ASAP!" She explained.
"Right away. Thank you." Aphmau said while getting back on her horse. We all followed her example and we rode off to the village.
While we were riding bad thoughts started to cross my mind. What if my fear comes true? What if Aphmau's comes true? I spoke those thoughts from my head and focused on controlling my horse. I can't let those thoughts overwhelm me.
You guys must hate me for all these time skips but whatever.
We arrived at the village just as Zane and hIS WHOLE ENTIRE ARMY?! Aphmau and Garroth got off their horses and handed us their leads. Aphmau hugged Malachi and nodded at me. I knew what she meant. Malachi got onto my horse with me and Laurance and I rode to the stables.
"Malachi, I want you to go to that purple house on the hill and ask for Zoey. Tell her what happened and that I sent you there. Tell her I say to get you boys out of the village." I told him. She nodded and ran off. Well more like floated off.
Laurance and I put out horses up and prepared for battle. This isn't going to be fun.
