Chapter 14 - "You have to choose..."


"Okay..." Aphmau looks to the ground.

"We all know this isn't an easy decision for her so is there anyway to make it easier?" Zane asks.

He sits beside Kawaii~Chan, who is resting from her slashed wound by Garroth. Kim's dark amber eyes turned blue as Ghost took over.

"The Realm Breaker was shattered, broken by Irene herself. The pieces from it, were said to be lost as Irene and the other Divine Warriors took those pieces and hid them. Hid them from Shad, who wanted nothing more than to have his power back but that power was ripped from him by the Divine Warriors. I didn't even know the Realm Breaker was here." Ghost explains.

Several heads turn in her direction and stare at her with confused expressions as Kim/Ghost rolls her eyes.

"What else do you know?" Lucinda asks.

Ghost sighs. "Only the Realm Breaker can break through realms. It's harder if you have a similar power to it." she says.

"What?" Aphmau questions.

The group turn to see the television get turned on manually by Lucinda. Their conversation regarding the Realm Breaker would have to wait for there are more important matters.

"Breaking news; Melissa Lycan was shot dead just hours ago. The hunt for Aaron and Derek Lycan remains intact. Anyone with information on their whereabouts, is to report to Captain Toby. Thank you, and enjoy your stay!" a newscaster says.

"Now, I'm glad Aaron's in a different dimension."Derek mutters.

"Grape?" Max says, appearing behind Lucinda and hugging her leg.

Derek turns to look at Aphmau with widened eyes. "Max is Melissa's son. Blade is mine and Aaron's." Aphmau explains.

"Okay." Derek says.

It's hard for him to take in the fact that he now has not one but two grandsons and that his daughter is dead alongside his wife. He sits on the sofa with his head in his hands and just listens.

"What similar power?" he hears Aphmau ask Ghost.

"Realm Breaking powers." he hears Ghost answers.

"Shad's power?" Lucinda asks.

She's heard of Shad the Destroyer curtesy of her mother, Hyria, who she's convinced is actually friends with Irene because Hyria talks about Irene a lot.

Ghost nods. "Like the Realm Breaker, Shad's relic that was gifted to him by Irene, was shattered into three pieces but nobody's ever found those pieces. If someone did, they'd have fame and glory just for finding them."she explains what she knows.

"Three pieces? How do we find these three pieces?" Aphmau jumps up at the sound to do anything to help Aaron and Blade.

"That's the thing, they've been hidden for decades. As I said before, nobody's ever found them." Ghost says. "Sorry." Kim adds, once Ghost stops taking over.

Her eyes revert back to their normal coloring of dark amber. Aphmau sighs and gives her a small smile. "It's okay, Kim." she whispers.

"Melissa?" a voice asks.

"Who's there?" she replies.

"You know who I am." the voice tells her.

Melissa thinks for a moment and recalls her brother talking to someone when he was alone. "Connor?" she smirks.

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that! Besides, I go by Hellfang now." Connor groans.

"Hellfang? Who gave you that name!" Melissa laughs at how weird it sounds.

"Your charming nephew did." Tima replies.

"Oh. Speaking of my nephew, how are he and Aaron doing?" Melissa asks, worriedly.

She is worried about her brother and about the pain he must be going through right now.

"They are fine. I need you to tell the female Aaron loves, that he will be easier to get out. Blade, however, will be harder as he has the Realm Breaking powers of Shad." Conner explains.

Melissa's golden eyes widen. "Y..yeah." she stutters. "I'll do that." she mumbles.

The door to her room bangs open as a brown haired man with violet eyes walks in, clad in his usual Guardian Force armor. "Ah, good. Your awake." he calls out, cheerfully.

"Yeah. Thanks again for saving me." she says.

He nods. "Your welcome, Melissa. It wasn't right of my possessed officer to shoot at you." he tells her.

"I already told you, Toby. I forgive you." Melissa replies. "Now, if you don't mind. I need to give a message to my sister." she says.

Toby blocks her way out and crosses his arms. "You aren't going anywhere." he remarks. "Without this."he says and hands her, her phone he found in her bag.

"Thanks." Melissa grins and takes her phone from him.

Aphmau's phone sits on the glass coffee table beside the suitcase. Its sudden beeping noise startles everyone nearby as she picks it up. She sees a text message from an unknown number that reads:

???? - You have to choose Aaron.

"Respond back." Rowan tells her.

He knows what number it is but keeps it to himself. He isn't about to tell Derek about who's it is, nor Aphmau for that matter.

"But I don't know if I can trust th—" she gets off by Rowan.

"You can trust this person." he answers.

She hesitates before typing out a response of 'why?' and hits send. Another beep comes a second later.

???? - Aaron will be easier to pull out than Blade.

"This is creepy. This person, whoever it is, knows Blade's name." Aphmau says, aloud.

"How is that possible?" Kim asks her, as Aphmau shrugs.

"I don't know." she whispers just as her phone beeps again.

???? - Blade has the Realm Breaking powers while Aaron doesn't and I know you might question this info, but trust me, in due time Blade can get himself out.

She reads the text message aloud as Max hands Aphmau a drawing he did. It's a bit sloppy but it depicts two werewolves, both with golden eyes and brown hair. Him and his mom, Melissa.

"Mama." he says and points to the picture than to Aphmau's phone.

Aphmau's caramel eyes widen with realization. The unknown person is Melissa! She's alive! She types up a response: While I do question how you got the info, I trust you. Just be careful, sis.

Back with Toby, Melissa smirks, pleased to know her plan worked even if Aphmau found out it was her. She thinks about who could tell Aphmau it was her...then it hits her. Max! Her son, of course!
