a:n: WOO DOUBLE DIGITS :DD

A P H M A U

I woke up to my room. I yawned as I sat up from my bed, I was still usually tired. I don't remember getting into bed last night. When I sat up from my bed I finally recalled last night's events. I sat back down onto my bed.

No, no, no . Sly can't be dead.

But Antonio said-

Shut up! It was a dream! I just can't remember getting into bed because I was too tired from the work!

After the argue with myself I sat back up and head to dresser. Wait.. I did not change into my clothes last night huh? Ignoring the dresser , I walked up to my desk, yup. I had everything done for the next few days or so. Unless Garroth or anyone else brings me anymore. I'll bring the papers to him after I eat breakfast.

I went out of my room and downstairs where the bathroom was. No-one was downstairs , I signed what did I expect? The last few days I've been sleeping in. I wonder why no-one wakes me up when I do. I notice a note on the kitchen table beside some pancakes, I walked up to it and picked it up to read it.

Hey Aphmau.

The boys are most likely playing in the treehouse and I'm out to help Logan with merchant stuff. Antonio brang you in last night in his arms saying you were helping him with research things and you fell asleep. That must be why you ran out of the house last night!

Zoey

Oh no, no , no , no. Last night was real?! Not a dream?! I dropped the note back on the table. No.

I ran into the bathroom beside the stairs and to the mirror. There it was , my reflection glaring back at me. I had red under my eyes, obviously from crying. I quickly sat on the toilet (its closed duh) and grabbed my leg up to see my feet. They were covered in cuts, dirt , and bits of stone stabbing into it.

It's true, Sly is dead. Oh god no. Oh god. I stared infront of me , I wanted to cry but I was to tired too. Does that make sense? Instead I felt as if my stomach was being twisted and my head was being beaten by a hammer. What do I do now? Mourn?! ITS TOO LATE FOR THAT! IF NOT FOR MY GUILT OF KILLING SOMEONE I WOULD BE THERE TO SAVE HIM!

I said it.

I left the heroes because I killed two innocent people. I glanced at my finger where I had the red ring, I normally had it disguised with magic but I guess I forgot to re-new the spell when I woke up today. The worst thing about your 'innocence ring' that it doesn't let you forget about it, you can't hid it with a glove, bandages nothing accept high-level magic.

Its a ring that everyone has, if green- you didn't kill anyone innocent, but if you did kill someone and they were guilty it would be yellow. If you killed someone that innocent its red. I bear a red ring unfortunately, all my guards have a yellow ring obviously. If they knew I had a red one they, I don't want to know what they would do. I once over-heard them talking about red rings. Garroth said that he would put anyone with a red ring to jail. Laurence would kill them and Dante.. both.

I went out of the bathroom and into the kitchen. I pulled a chair back and sat on it. I stared at the pancakes infront of me. They were about 3 on the plate, covered with syrup and a square of butter. The syrup was spilling on the side of the plate. I glared at it, and started to eat. I ignored the fork and knife at sides of it and grabbed a pancake from the plate and started eating it sloppily. It didn't taste like anything, it tasted bad. Zoey's cooking was always good. Why..

(A/N SHE'S TURNING INTO A GHOUL EVERYONE OMG)

I put the put the pancake down, I can't eat anymore. I sit back up from the table and go back to the bathroom to freshen myself. I washed my face, I felt a bit better. I grabbed my toothbrush and started cleaning my teeth. After I finished I looked back to my brush, it was red. I looked up to the mirror and saw that my gum was bleeding.

Goddamit, things are getting worse and worse.

I decided to continue cleaning myself up. I even took a bath to relax myself. After I was done I dried myself and got dressed.

After I was done, I quickly put on my boots and went outside. I went down the stone path to do my daily rounds. I went into all the houses to say hello, there was no one at the guards tower but I thought they must out on patrol or something. Everything was all fine and dandy until I got to the plaza. Infront of me was a horrible scene.

Laurence and Dante were uncouscious on the floor. And Garroth was getting pinned down by a .. gawken? No.. It was similar to it.

I looked around and saw a hammer on one of the merchant stands. It must be the blacksmiths. Weilding a hammer as Lady Thor comes in handy sometimes. I run towards the hammer and grab it. Luckily because I'm used to weilding mjoiljir I can hold this one easily.

I run beside the gawken and slam the hammer into its face.

Garroth looks at me in suprise before saying anything I interrupt him. "Run away Garroth. Things bout' to get nasty! " I smirk, I'm in my zone.

I run towards the Gawken thing and easily dodge it's attacks.
"Screee!" It hollers as it tries to hit me with its claws.
I hit it once again with full force, and it explodes. It's guts going everywhere.

I look back at Garroth who is looking at me with suprise. "How did you defeat it do quickly?!"

I drop the hammer on the ground and go towards him. He put Laurence and Dante togethere at the back of the Lady Irene fountain.

"Comes naturally." I grin "Anyways are they alright?"

"Yes, but Dante did break his hand. Luckily not his primary hand so he can still wield his sword. But not two as he usually does."

"Laurence?"

"He's fine. Uncouscious but fine."

I notice that there is a bit of blood on Dante's forehead, I put my hand on his forehead to wipe it.

"L-Lord A - Aphmau! " Garroth suddenly gasps. As he points at my hand, I look at it and.. There is my red ring clearly visible.

"You have a red ring?!"
