Garroths POV
I decided to go into the woods to find some fresh fruit well Aph told me to get some. I climbed a tree to pick some apples. I heard flames and looked around and saw nothing so I thought it was in my head. I continued picking and the sound only grew I looked up and there the leaves were burning above my head. I panicked and fell out of the tree. I must've hit my head hard cause blacked out!

I woke up in a room. There was a nurse and another female.

"Finally you're awake! You hit your head pretty hard you've been asleep for three days!"

THREE DAYS APH...ER...THE OTHERS MUST BE WORRIED SICK!!!!

Aphmaus POV three days before Garroth woke up
Garroth went to get some fruit. It was getting late and he still hadn't returned. I went to look for him and deep in the woods it was on fire!!!! I quickly ran and got the others.

"Runt what's going on?" Zenix asked as I ran in the door

"There's a...fire..." I said between breaths

"Fire?!?!?" Everyone said and they followed me we ran to the huge fire and grabbed the buckets we brought. After an hour or two we put the flames out. I looked at the ashes around me and looked for anything of Garroth's. I was searching for an hour and found nothing!

"Aphmau...he's not anywheres here..." Dale came over and put a hand on my shoulder. I would've yelled for him calling me my name but I needed someone ANYONE. I got up and looked Dale in the eyes.

"I refuse to believe he's dead until we find a body!" My voice was shaky but I kept the tears down. Laurence came up and started to talk.

"I'll help you look"

"Thanks Laurence"

We searched for hours and it was late I was covered in ashes begging Irene to let him live. I found nothing I felt like a failure.

"Aphmau...I found something!"

I ran over and there was a burnt basket and some charred apples and other fruits. Then there was Garroths sword. I picked it up to make sure it was his and it was.

"I'm sorry Aphmau"

I felt the tears falling down my face and Laurence hugged me. I cried into his shoulder.

"I won't tell anyone you cried"

I laughed a little through the tears. Once I was done crying I took the sword and brought it to base. I walked in and Zenix and Dale started to talk but I didn't stop I just slowly walked to my room.

"Cheif did..."

"Shh Dale let her be" Laurence hushed

"Alright..."

I walked into my room and shut the door slowly I sat on my bed looking at the sword. It had ashes on it. I walked over to a basket and grabbed a rag. I wiped off the ashes. I looked into the sword seeing my reflection. My face was covered in soot. My hair was a mess and my eyes were bloodshot. The thought of Garroth being dead broke my heart. I found some bones but they were from some skeletons...I think...I hope. I took the sword and looked at the engravings on the handle. A symbol for honour, one for respect, another for honesty, he was an honoured knight for sure. I placed the sword on my dresser and layed in bed crying.

"Aphmau..." Zenix walked in "you're crying...I'm sorry we don't know if he's gone yet don't give up hope" he sat on the foot of my bed I refused to look up. "He would want you to be happy" that made me cry more "you must love him" of course you idiot but I was the one who sent him for the fruit... "You'll be ok" he got up and walked out closing the door behind him. I eventually fell asleep crying like I've never cried before.

The next morning I didn't get out of bed. I couldn't move I could only cry. There was a knock but I didn't answer they came in and it was Laurence.

"R.H um...breakfast is ready...if you're hungry its ready when you are" he started calling me R.H again which was nice but I couldn't care less now. I didn't answer I only cried and he walked out. I heard them whisper on the other side of the door.

"She's not coming" Laurence whispered

"I feel so bad for her" Dale

"I think its best if we let her handle it" Zenix

"Yea that's probably best for now" Laurence

And they walked away. In about ten minutes Dale came in. I didn't move.

"I brought some food in case you get hungry" he set the food on my nightstand I still didn't budge. "Seeya" and he walked out. I tried to move but couldn't. He's gone and its all my fault

*the next day
I woke up but I wasn't crying anymore. I still couldn't move or eat. Every now and then someone would come in to replace my food or check on me. Every time I just stayed still staring at the wall unable to move.

"Aphmau? Um...I think you should move your muscles will be super sore later on" Dale was concerned probably the most. I'm not sure why but he was. Logan was too scared to see me and Donna hasn't come. I didn't move or even give a grunt of acknowledgement he gave out a sigh and put a hand on my shoulder.

"Feel better soon Aphmau" I hugged my pillow tighter and started to cry again. My heart was broken I will never be better. Donna walked in and asked Dale if we could be alone.

"I know you don't wanna talk so I will" she started sitting down "your heart is broken...I understand...you're my best friend and it hurts to see you like this...I just want you to know I'm here for you whenever you're ready to talk" I wanted to let something out other then a cry.

"I was the one who sent him for fruit..." I said in barley a whisper Donna didn't make any suddon movements.

"I'm sorry you must feel like its your fault its not" she got up and walked out the door. My whimpers turned into weaps and the weaps into sobs it IS ALL my fault.

Garroths POV after waking up
"Three days?!?!"

"Yup!" The nurse said "you're in ScalesWind we had to bring you here for specific medical treatment its a three day travel and you slept through the whole thing! The good news is since you've been treated already you may leave when you please!"

" I have to leave right now!"

"Ok be safe!" The nurse said I said a goodbye and a thank-you and started on my way home

Aphmaus POV where her POV left off
I rolled over and stared at the fresh food. Zenix always changed the food each meal. I sat up slowly and picked up a small peice of chicken. I started to eat and but I couldn't eat more then a normal sized bite. On look in the mirror across my room made me cry again. The soot and ashes the bloodshot eyes the tear stained cheeks and pillow made me remember every little thing I layed back down and started to whimper again. Zenix came in and changed the food and talked a little.

"I'm glad you ate something"

And then he walked out. But again I heard him whisper. Some one was usually outside my door guarding in case something happened this time it was Laurence.

"She ate some chicken" Zenix

"That's great! Poor girl I wish she wasn't in so much pain" Laurence

"I know she doesn't move she doesn't talk all she does is cry."

"Heartbreak must be tough"

"Yah I'll tell Dale to start guarding you can leave once he comes"

"Thanks Zenix"

Donna was taking care of Levin for me now. I couldn't get up let alone take care of a one year old! She is so sweet. There was a small knock on my door and Dale came in. I swear he comes in more then anyone!

"Aphmau everyone just wants to hear you talk again." He was starting to choke up?

I didn't move I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I closed it again.

"We hate seeing you like this Aphmau" he was now crying slightly "it hurts...I miss you telling me to shut up and tapping once when someone was telling the truth...I miss you being you and I realise you're hurting I just want to hear your voice shaky or not I wanna hear it"

"I'm sorrry..." I managed to word

"Thank you, thank you SO much!" He sniffled and stopped crying and left. I fell asleep to the warmth of my tears only wishing they were tears of joy instead of sorrow...

*the next day

I woke up as per usual. I was feeling slightly better not enough to get out of bed but enough to sit up and look down. I was tired of laying down so I sat up crossed legged and played with the corner of my blanket. So some came in I moved my head slightly up to see Laurence shocked I moved.

"R.H you're...sitting up!" He had a smile. Seeing someone happy made me hurt. I started to cry again and he finished over to me. He wrapped his arms around me.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to look happy I'm just glad you're feeling slightly better"

"I...know" I felt hjim jump at my voice but he tried to hold it in. I layed back down feeling tired but couldn't sleep.

"I just came to check on you I'll be going Zenix will bring you some breakfast" sure enough he did but I didn't eat or even want too I just wanted to cry and I did I cried until I drifted back to sleep.

A/N is it bad I ACTUALLY cried when I was writing this? Its late so I'm emotional when I'm tired anyways I hope you liked this part.
