Zenix's POV
So Garroth has been gone for a week and Runt has been getting worse each day. She's more strict and less talkative. She rarley talks and when she does its about a mission. She doesn't eat with us anymore she eats in her room. Every other day she goes into the woods not telling anyone she left or when she'd be back or how long she'd be gone. She doesn't smile or laugh. If she did nobody would notice because she never takes her uniform off. When she's not in the woods or on post or training she's in her room. She's miserable I can tell!

Garroths POV
The king accepted me back with open arms and I was his right hand knight again. He changed my armor to better iron. I was guarding everywhere and thinking about Aph...I still love her I just want her to be happy and if that means not to be with her then that's what I'll do.

Zenix's POV
I decided to talk to her I walked to her room and knocked on the door. I hear some papers ruffling and her say

"Come in!" It wasn't as strict a usual kind of...worried or distraught.

Aphmaus POV
Zenix walked in and asked me if I wanted to eat tonight I simply said no and he sighed in frustration.

"I know you don't want to hear this but if you wanna talk I'm hear remember that" and with that he left. I felt tears threatening to spill over no Aphmau stop! You don't have to cry every time the door closes for once just don't cry because you're alone the word alone echoed in my mind. I'm such an idiot! Now there's nothing I can do. It was late so I decided to go to sleep.

~Dream~

I was walking in a field of white flowers with Garroth. Suddenly an evil shadow came and killed him. The white flowers were painted red by his blood.

"Why did you leave me?" Were his last words my tears washed the flowers around him. Suddenly I started to glow bright white and float into the air. I was surrounded in a ball of white light and destroyed the shadow. But Garroth was still dead and his last words echoed in my head 'why did you leave me?' Why did I leave him?

~Dream End~

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH" I woke up screaming. It was the middle of the night. I pulled my legs up to my chest and started crying softly. Why did I leave him? Zenix came in without knocking he looked at me strange because I wasn't in uniform.

"Runt whats wrong?"

"I made a mistake" I said whispering closing my eyes.

"What mistake?"

"I let him go I thought that I was weak."

"You weren't! You might have been nicer but your fighting improved now that he's gone you can barely get bulls-eyes, your fighting is sloppy, you're loud in the trees, you have no patience-"

"I'm an idiot"

"You're not an idiot"

"Zenix I listened to Dale!"

"We all did. At first we thought you were weaker but looking back you've never been as strong"

"I thought that if I let him go things would go back to the way they were before he left"

"Its not that easy"

"And now I can't get him back! Its not his fault or Dale's its mine"

"Its not anyones fault"

"All this time I thought love was my weakness but its not its my strength and now I'm weak because my strength is gone!"

"Aphmau if there's one thing I learned from Donna and Logan its that love will find a way!"

He's right. Logans a werewolf and that's why they were kicked out of his house. Donna's parents paid for that house and they can't stand the race of werewolves so they kicked Donna and Logan out onto the streets.

"Thanks Zenix but I'm starting to think I don't deserve love after my mistake"

"Everyone deserves it Aphmau now get some sleep and eat something."

"Ok" I went into the kitchen and Dale was sitting at a window staring outside.

"Hey what're you doing up?" I asked he looked at me and saw me without a uniform and smiled weakly.

"Looking at the moon"

"Why?"

"It drains my problems for awhile" he said taking a deep breath

"I don't blame you for what happened" I said softly

"You should its all my fault"

"You were angry and I thought that you were right and did stuff without thinking of anyone but myself. I'm selfish and it didn't even work out for me" I said sitting next to him on the windowsill.

"Aphmau you are the most unselfish person on the earth! You give money to people on the streets people are poor heck sometimes you give to people who are doing OK but sometimes you go to the kingdom to give money and sometimes you give our food. I'm usually weary about it all but you never are! If anything I'm selfish"

"Dale don't be to hard on yourself I don't blame you and I'm sure Gar-" I took a deep breath the name still hurts its like rubbing salt into the wound "he doesn't blame you either."

"Why don't you say his name?"

"It hurts I miss him and there's nothing I can do anyways I need to sleep so I'll seeya in the morning"

"Goodnight"

I went to my room and went to sleep after eating a little food. I fell asleep quick and woke up hating myself for my idiotic mistake.

Garroths POV
Why'd I leave? I don't understand really I mean I'm miserable here! I can't go back now though. I know nobody will want me back. This new armor is so big and clunky its hard to move around...it was easier in uniform to move around...I just wish I could go back. I would do anything to see her again.
