(Aphmau's POV)
Once I fell unconscious, I could only let sleep take complete control over me. I wanted to wake up but I couldn't, the pain was very unbearable and I could only dream.
~~Dream~~
I find myself in a room. It wasn't the dark room like always, this it it was room that was white. I was lying down on a blue and there were blue swirl designs on the walls. I saw a white door and on my left, I saw someone cooking. Blue navy hair like Ein's, similar skin tone, but they were wearing a white dress and whit boots, plus she had angel wings even though she had wolf ears and tail that was similar to Ein's.
I was confused. Very confused.
"You've woken up." Said the angel who sounded similar to Aaron's mom.
I recognize that voice as I got up.
"You.... you were the one who told me that info about Deimos didn't you?" I asked.
"Yes." The angel replied.
This whole time I thought it was Aaron's mom who was speaking out to me. But I guess I predicted wrong.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The angel turned around to look at me. She had silver eyes similar to Ein's.
"Erika. Ein's mother. Sure, I may sound like Rachel Lycan but I'm not her. She and Derek are in the afterlife with Blaze and Terry." Erika told me.
My ears and tail twitched.
"Am I...?" I asked.
"No. Just unconscious. You passed out due to blood loss." Erika said.
Oh my Irene...
"I.... I fell...." I said.
She nodded.
"I.... I should've just done what he said." I cried out almost sobbing.
Erika places a hand on my left shoulder and her wings softly flap. Her ears and tail twitched softly.
"Don't doubt yourself Aphmau. Aaron is still inside Shad. Just locked away." Erika said.
My ears perked up.
"H... how are you know that?" I asked.
"I can sense peoples presences. Don't ask me how. Just call it a hunch." Said Erika.
Silence was in the air.
"When I died, I was about to go into the afterlife, but instead of joining with those that's passed... Irene turned me into an angel because I wished to see how Ein reacted to my passing. I'm now an angel who watches over the world. And I've seen everything. How you and Aaron first met, how you met Ein, how you met all of your friends, how you guys evolved, how you went through all the drama, and how you all went on your crazy adventures. Plus Irene gave me the ability to channel through certain memories of others and visions of the past. Ever since then I've just been observing the world from here." Erika explained.
"You just wanted to see what your sons life was like.... you did that for him, so you can see how he grew up." I said.
Erika nods.
"Yes. But my last wish is to be brought back to life. But since Irene.... passed.... I lost hope. But I know she will return sometime soon." Erika said.
I then realized something.... Aaron...
"Dying almost made you forget who you care about. Are you going to forget them?" Erika asked.
I hesitated and then stopped.
"No. I will not forget them. Ever." I said confidently.
There was silence for a moment.
"I will NEVER give up on Aaron. I'll do anything I keep him safe!" I exclaimed.
"You always will. Do you want to go back?" Erika asked.
"YES!" I cried.
Erika stops putting her hand on my shoulder, backs away just an inch, and projects a live feed of the afterlife. It shows Blaze, Terry, Derek, and Rachel on that same kitchen counter where I once was.
"Aphmau?!" They all exclaimed in unison.
"Hey." I said.
"You're alive!" Blaze said.
"Holy cow!" Said Terry.
"I knew you'd make it." Derek said.
"Me too." Said Rachel.
I looked to Erika.
"I've been keeping in touch with them. They know what's going on." Said Erika.
I nodded my head and I looked to the others on the feed.
"I'm gonna go kick some butt. For all of us." I said.
They tear up.
"Go get em Alpha." Said Blaze.
"Send that evil warrior back to where he came from." Said Terry.
"Yeah, you're strong." Derek said.
"We believe in you Aphmau." Said Rachel.
I tear up.
"Cheers to the team." I said.
We fist bump the screen and I wave goodbye to them all. The feed ends and I look to Erika.
"Are you ready?" Erika asked me.
"Yes." I replied.
I see the doors and I walk up to them.
"Remember this Aphmau, if you can combine all of the relics, you can grant one wish. My wish, is to come back to life. Please. Do it for me. For your brother." Erika said.
I turn around to look at her.
"I will." I said confidently.
I open the doors and exited to room to encounter bright light. That's when everything became so clear.
~~Dream Ends~~
I slowly wake up to see familiar faces around me. Lucinda, Dottie, Ein, and Other Aphmau. In fact the whole gang was around me. And I saw Other Aaron. I wanted to move but I couldn't cause of the pain.
"You're.... you're alive...?" I asked.
I groaned in pain at all the scars and wounds on me.
"Stand still." Other Lucinda said.
Other Lucinda, Dottie, and Lucinda all readied their staffs to cast a spell to fix all of my wounds and scars.
"Can't... move..." I groaned.
Someone places their hand in my head. It was Ein.
"E.... Ein...?" I asked.
He breaks down into tears.
"I'm sorry.... I'm so sorry.... little sister.... I'm sorry for all the crap I put you through...." Ein said crying.
Some of his tears fall onto my face. I smile weakly.
"I... I.... I knew.... you had.... good in you...." I said.
I try to get up and Ein stops placing his hand on my forehead.
"I.... need to get up..." I said.
"Aphmau don't. You've lost a dangerous amount of blood." Ein said.
I cried.
"It hurts.... so bad, I.... I don't... wanna die... again...." I sobbed.
Ein sniffled.
"I know you don't. And I don't want you to die on me little sis." Ein said crying.
I wanted to speak but I could only let hot tears fall from my face.
"I.... don't.... want to be.... alone...." I said weakly.
I may have been healed from my wounds but I can still feel the stinging of the pain. My leg was fixed and so was my tail.
I saw Other Aphmau, Other Garroth, Other Aaron, Zane, Garroth, Rylan, and Daniel over on the other side talking while Lucinda, Dottie, and Other Lucinda were using their magic to heal me. Also Other Lucinda used a spell to fix my torn clothes. I saw Zane.
"This can't be happening.... is Aaron.... really possessed??" Zane asked.
"I'm afraid so. Hell, if he manages to transform into the giant wolf, who knows what kind of hell will unleash...." Other Garroth said.
I saw Other Aaron.
"We need to head back to Phoenix Drop to get prepared for battle. We've gotta fight back." Other Aaron said.
I coughed a couple of times as I breathed heavily.
"Please.... don't leave me little sis...." Ein said tearfully.
I coughed weakly and I begin to tear up.
"I.... am.... alone.... I've always.... been alone...." I cried.
Ein begins crying too.
"Please! Don't say that!!! It.... it doesn't have to be like this.... not anymore... you're not alone.... I may have done bad things to you but, I'm sorry. I'm your brother. I'm part of your family...." Ein said.
I then realized.... that there IS hope. I then have a quick flashback.
~~Flashback~~
"I never feel alone when I look into your eyes." I said.
"You should never feel alone." Aaron replied.
I smiled.
"Will you be here for me?" I asked.
"Always." Aaron replied.
I chuckled and I hugged him.
"Thanks. And I'll always be here for you." I said.
~~Flashback Ends~~
I am not alone! I am strong, confident, and determined! I then get angry. I feel a sudden urge to get up and I try my hardest.
"I WILL NOT GIVE UP ON HIM!!!!!" I screamed.
I get up and that's when Ein and Zane place their hands on either sides of my shoulders. Ein was on the left while Zane was on the right.
"Easy! You injuries looked quite severe. The pain must've not went down yet!" Zane said.
"Zane, she's fight it." Ein replied.
I am now more determined than ever.
"I'm going to get Aaron back. We all are!" I exclaimed.
I look to everyone.
"Come on! We gotta prepare for battle!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Said everyone in unison.
"Is there an exit around here?" Dottie asked.
Ein points to a nearby Nether portal that's not too far from here. Everyone walks through the portal.
"Quick, lets go, before the Shadow Knight army regroups." Said Other Aaron as he followed Other Aphmau.
"Your concern is touching, Other Aaron." Zane said.
Ein starts to carry me in bridal style. Him and I walk closer to the Nether portal.
"Thanks.... big brother." I said.
He looked at me and smiled. We rushed through the portal to see Phoenix Drop. We even managed to see the resistance fortress nearby. That's when we all rushed over there for weapons and armor.
"Be careful everybody..." I thought.
