~You~

Aphmau.

I didn't bother to fight back or argue as I was sent by my mother to go to her. As we were walking, I decided to make small talk. "So, brown haired guy, what's your name?"

He remained silent.

"Well, not much of a talker, eh? How about you, blonde guy? I deserve to have a nicer introduction since you attacked me and stuff."

Silence. Again.

"Silent treatment? Look, I just defended-"

"How can I put this in a nice way... Shut. Up," The brown haired guy said.

"That's not really a nice way to say it. There is no actual nice way to say it," I say.

"What are you? It's not humanly possible to be that annoying," The blonde guy asks.

"I'm a ninja." "No, you're not," The brown haired guy said. "Did you see me do that?"

"Do what?"

"Exactly," I chuckle at my own stupid joke. "You're crazy," The blonde said. "I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours."

"Oh my IRENE!" Blonde dude pins me by a tree, using on hand to put his sword against my neck while using the other to cover my mouth. I don't really know if I should shut up or fight back. Part of me is saying, "Run away! He's a threat! Don't trust anyone!" While another part is saying, "Just stay silent you crazy woman. Don't you ever get tired by speaking so much? Just go with the flow so he can lead you Aphmau."

I decided to go with my first choice. For all I know, maybe my mother didn't actually give me the note. I kicked blonde dude by the chest, making him stumble back, giving me a chance to run away.

"Aaron, grab her!" Blonde dude said. Not looking where I'm running off to, like the idiot I am, I bump into something hard and stumble back, landing on my butt. I look up to see a masked man with a VERY attractive and... revealing chest. He, I supposed called Aaron, picks me up and holds my hands against my back. "You mean her?"

Chestnut-haired dude nods while smirking. I'm in big trouble.

~~~~~

We arrive in front of a purple and quartz house. Blonde dude knocks on a door and a beautiful black haired and hazel eyed woman opens the door. "Hello, Garroth, Laurence, and Aaron. What brings you here?"

Does she not notice me? I mean, c'mon, I may be short but doesn't mean I'm invisible! I'm clearly her height.

Blonde dude points at me and steps aside for her to have a clearer view. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't see you there. I always look up to meet their faces, I never thought there would be a face right in front of me," She chuckles. I just shrug in reply.

"We caught her in the woods and she's a threat."

"I am not a threat! For all Irene knows, maybe you're the threat!" I defend myself.

"You attacked me."

"I defended myself. You attacked me."

"I attacked you because you are a threat. You had a sword with blood all over yourself. Who in the name of Irene would walk around the woods with blood and a sword?!"

"Um, a person who's hurt, lost and want to defend themselves? You know what, I give up. I'm tired and too lazy wasting my energy on defending myself. I am what you see, and what you see is what you get. If my hands were free, I would throw it in the air to put it up to exaggerate."

The three of the boys were left speechless while Aphmau looked impressed. "What's your name?"

"<Your name>, Aphmau. I woke up by the woods, with no memory at all. I read a note that I have to come to you and I believe it was from my mother."

Aphmau looked shocked and went upstairs. After a few minutes, she came back downstairs and handed me a note.

Dear Lord Aphmau,

I have sent my daughter to the woods of your village for her safety. I hope you can take her in your village and have her start her new life since I have removed any memories of her. Danger is targeting her and I trust you with the most important thing in my life.

-Yours truly,

Andrea <last name> of <Village name>.

I look at Aphmau and I feel shocked, surprised, glad? I feel mixed emotions. I want to express them but I can't... you know what I mean? Stay cool, calm and collected. "I trust you," I sigh. She smiles, "There's an empty room upstairs. You can live in there for the meanwhile. Brendon will build your house and you can move there if needed to."

I nod and go upstairs.

Remember, I tell myself, this a bad day since I was abandoned, but for a good cost. This is a bad day, not a bad life... Hopefully.

~Aphmau ~

"How do you know we can trust her?" Garroth asks.

"Garroth, just because there is evil around, just because Zane is around, doesn't mean there are good around that we can't trust."

He sighs in response. "She was abandoned? By her mother? The queen of <Village name>, The village targeted by Zane at this exact moment?"

"Precisely. She need help right now. For all we know, she may be targeted too, as the princess of <Village name>."

"When she needed help the most, she was abandoned," Aaron spoke. He rarely speaks so his voice shocked us all.

"In a good way," Laurence adds.

I sigh softly and look upstairs, "In a good way."
