Garroth POV

I'm so stupid!!! I kissed Lord Aphmau!!! I actually kissed her!!! Oh no, she's going to be so mad at me. What if she kicks me out of the village! Oh no. I pulled away and looked at her face. She looked shocked. Oh no. "I'm sorry Lord Aphmau, I shouldn't have done that.... I'll just leave..."

I was about to was about to walk away but, once again, she grabbed my arm. "Garroth I want you to tell me the truth. Do. You. Love. Me?"

That question... The question I was scared to answer... "Y-yes, I do..."

Oh no... I tried to run away but she pulled me back to her. Wow she's strong... I was sure she was going to punch me or something so I braced myself for her fist but instead of a fist, I felt.... Her kiss me on the check... I was speechless... I could hardly move either... She giggled at me, (her giggle is so cute) and said that she would see me tomorrow then went in her house.

Wow... I can't believe I did that... Wow... Wait, how will Laurence take it? Oh no... He could turn into a Shadow Knight and kill me... Maybe I shouldn't tell him, yet or maybe Aphmau should tell him or.... I don't know!!! Anyway I walked back to the old guard tower/home and I saw Laurence on the balcony daydreaming and Dante looking at him. "Dante what's up with Laurence?" I asked him.

"How should I know, I just walked in here and I saw him like this. It's strange, right?"

"Definitely... I'll ask what's wrong with him, if there is anything..."

We walked up to him and I lightly tapped him on his shoulder. "Laurence are you ok?"

"She's so different, I like that about her..."

"Hello!!! Earth to Laurence!!!!" I yelled waving my hand in front of his face.

"Hmm, AHHH!!! Garroth! Dante!! I didn't hear you come in!!!"

"Yeah but we heard you talking about a girl." Dante laughed.

"What!? You heard that!" He yelled a little angry.

Knowing he might turn into his Shadow Knight form I tried to calm him down. "Laurence calm down, please. We don't want you to go into your shadow knight form or wake the whole village up!"

He took a breather and walked off the balcony. "Who were you talking about?" Dante asked before he could go in his room.

"Um... I was talking about.... Katelyn...."

"KATELYN!!!!" Both me and Dante yelled, surprised.

"Shhh," He whisper-shouted. "I don't want any one to know!"

"You like Katelyn!" Dante said trying to hold back his laughter. "How?!"

"We... Were building the houses and.... Well... We were talking about her being a Jury of nine member, her family, what it was like being an orphan and... Well... The more we talked... And... The more I looked at her... The more attractive she looked and.... the more I liked... Her"

"Wow..." Both me and Dante said.

"Wait. What happened to the Casanova who is in love with Lord Aphmau?" Dante asked.

"Ha ha very funny!! I'm still a Casanova, I just can't be one around Katelyn. She hates flirting..."

"So are you still in love with Lord Aphmau." I asked hoping he wasn't.

"I don't know... I need to sleep it off."

"Okay... Oh I almost forgot." I said remembering what happened today.

"What?"

"Today me and Aphmau were walking in the Forrest. When we were there, 5 portals opened and out came... 5 Aphmau's."

"What, how?!?" They said shocked.

"We don't know, all of us were shocked."

"Where are they now?" Laurence asked.

"In the spare house, Lord Aphmau is going to sort it out. But we should get some rest..."

"Okay... See you in the morning..." They both said as they entered their rooms.

Wow, that was strange in fact this whole day has been weird... Well tomorrow is another day...

Jess POV:

Aphmau and Garroth took us to this spare house where we could stay. It was very nice but it was made of wood. I guess this place doesn't have modern day technology... Anyway when we got in there was a kitchen and a few chairs and some stairs that went down to the sleeping quarters. Before Aphmau and Garroth left they told us to not leave the house until Aphmau came for us. I guess I understand; there are a lot of people living here and she probably has to explain to them what's going on. The 5 of us nodded and then they left us and we all went to bed.

Aphmau POV:

I woke up early this morning because I had to sort out the 5 'Aphmau' or Jess'. I got dressed and went down stairs. I saw Katelyn writing on a piece of paper. I could tell she was writing someone's name but I didn't say anything I just grabbed an apple and headed to Emmalyn's house/Library. When I arrived she was talking with Kenmer, from Meteli, about Lady Irene. When I walked in they both saw me and separated. Why, I don't know! "Um... Good morning Lord Aphmau... What brings you here?"

"Um... morning Emmalyn, morning Kenmer. I actually need a book."

"Oh, what about? Lady Irene? Okhasis?" She asked scanning the shelves.

"Um... Well... Let me explain the situation... Yesterday me and Garroth were in the Forrest and... well... 5 me's, wearing different clothes, came out of 5 different portals... And now we don't know how to get them back!"

"Wow..." Kenmer said turning to me."How is that even possible?"

"How should I know." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well unfortunately I don't have a book about that... At least I don't think I have... I have 7 books about portals and dimensions... Will any of them work?"

"Yeah... Could... I take them all... I promise once I'm done I will return them."

"Of course you can!!" She said handing me the books.

"Thanks Emmalyn. I'll see you two later!!" I said walking out the door.

"Bye." They said waving.

The books were heavy so I decided to drop the books at home then continue my daily routines. On my way I tripped and dropped all the books. Oh no. I picked up 6 of the books and when I got to the 7th book I saw it was open. The page was open on a page about a place where there is a Zombie apocalypse known as the Crafting Dead. Wait!! Didn't Jess say she was in a Zombie Apocalypse? I'll have to ask later but maybe I should take these books to Garroth later and we can look through them together.

I took the books home and put them on the table in the Kitchen. As I was heading down the path, I saw Levin and Malachi playing in their playground together. "Hi Mommy!" Levin said running up to me as I was heading down.

"Hi Levin, Hi Malachi. How are you two today?" I asked hugging them both.

"We're fine mom!" Malachi responded. "We're Just playing in the playground. Katelyn is very nice she took us to Emma's house when Zoey was sick."

"Speaking of Katelyn, where is she?" I asked putting Levin down.

"Oh, she's looking after me and Levin but also Zoey because she is still sick." Malachi explained

When he finished explaining Katelyn came out with a plate of sandwiches and grapes, she handed them to Malachi and Levin then they went to their playground to eat them. "Katelyn."

"Lord Aphmau I know what you want." She said looking down. "You want me out of this village..."

"What?!?! Why would you think that?"

"I've been building houses for other people without your permission, I took your sons to another mother in the village without telling you, I've been working for Zane and..." She blushes "I kinda like Laurence..."

"What!? You like Laurence!" I screamed a little giddy.

"See you're angry."

"I'm not angry, I'm surprised. Honestly you shouldn't think like that! You've been helping me!"

"Y-you really think so?"

"Of course!" I smiled at her.

"Thank you Lord Aphmau. Oh, I wanted to ask. What are those books on the table about?!"

"Oh well...Yesterday me and Garroth were in the Forrest and... well... 5 me's, wearing different clothes, came out of 5 different portals... And now we don't know how to get them back so I'm going to see if there is anything in these books."

"Oh well good luck with that. And if you need my help just ask." She said heading towards the playground.

I walked towards the plaza and I saw Donna, Logan, Kawaii~chan, Nicole, Molly and Emma all talking. I went towards them to tell them about the 5 'Aphmaus'. "Hey everyone!"

"Hey Lord Aphmau." They all said, at different times.

"I need to tell you guys something."

"What is is?" Donna asked.

"Yesterday me and Garroth were in the Forrest. When we were there 5 portals opened and out came 5 different me's from each portal."

"That's strange?" Kawaii~chan squeaked.

"Yeah I know, I just wanted to tell you so you're not confused or anything."

"Thank you Lord Aphmau." Molly said.

"I'll see you later!" I said heading out the plaza.

I headed out the plaza and I went towards the wall. I saw all the Guards and Brendan on the wall. "Morning Everyone."I said to them.

"Morning Lord Aphmau." Dante said.

"Um.. Garroth can I talk with you a minute?" I asked him.

"Sure." He said "Oh and Just so you know I told everyone here about the... Situation."

"Oh, thank you Garroth. Brian."

"Yes a Lord Aphmau." He said approaching me.

"Could you guard the house they're staying in? Just so I know they're safe."

He nodded and headed towards their house. I walked toward one of the towers to talk with him. "Have you got patrol tonight?" I asked him.

"No why?"

"I need to look through books about the situation and I want you to join me. Is that ok?"

"Of course I'll be there at 6:00. Is that ok?"

"That's great!"

"Oh, by the way, you'll never guess who Laurence likes." He chuckled.

"Who?" I asked a little nervous of the answer because I knew Katelyn liked him.

"Katelyn!" He whisper-shouted.

"She likes him to!"I screamed.

"Seriously! Wow that's really interesting."

"I know. Anyway I'll see you at 6." I said walking away.

Time skip to 6:00pm:

It was 6:00pm and Garroth arrived at my house. Katelyn, Levin and Malachi were in their rooms and me and Garroth were in the Kitchen. I was reading a book called 'Dimensions and how to get there.' And Garroth was reading 'Portals'. Portals was actually a story so when he figured it out he started reading 'New Worlds'.

We were reading the books for 4 hours, we found... Wait for it... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!! These books have nothing them, well there is one more book. This might be the book where I saw that page. It's called 'The dimensions'. Garroth opened the book and the first page had a picture of a Maze with a box kind of thing in the middle. After a few more pages there was the page I saw earlier. Then there was a picture of a town with a bunch of long nosed villagers in it. Then there was a picture of a city and a court room. Then there was a picture of some a super heroes building a portal. And on the last few pages there was.... A picture of Phoenix drop... We knew this was the book we need so we went to the beginning of the it and started reading.
