One step closer, another step closer, til our faces meet. 1, but 2 emotions entwine. How can I hide my undying love from you if your next to me? Even though my heart is beating for you, its beating for someone else. Did I find the other star? Or I'm just imaging things?

Garroth's POV

"Let go of me Dante..." I hissed at him. I can't leave Laurence alone, never... "Garroth, come on. We have to go to training!" Dante pleaded, tugging onto my metal armor. Its been a day since we arrived in Nahakra Village, and Laurence is still injured. What's worrying me is that he's not waking up. "Garroth, Laurence is fine. Like Doctor doctor (which is Donna's uncle) said he's just in a small comma." Dante sighed in defeat as he let go of my armor. "I'll tell you what you missed in training." Dante waved and trudged off. Sorry Dante, but I won't leave Laurence behind. I took a chair and placed it right next to the bed, where Laurence is resting. "Who could of done this to you?" As I sighed, then looked at the window. Everyone in this village, as the guards here has said, can't be always trusted. There are thieves that take the most precious thing from you, and you'll never see it again. After that little detail, everyone from this trip has been on a look out. I know that they are thieves but they're reasons why they act like that, for my sake everyone deserves a second chance. Glancing at the window, I spotted out a mother and her child, they had a bag full of freshly cooked bread which made the little girl swoon in to take a crumb. I giggled to the sight of the mother who slapped the hungry daughters hand, warning here to wait til they make it home. Then my eye catches a movement from the other side, a quick and swift movement, heading straight towards the mother and daughter. I stood up in disbelief and ran out the door, heading towards the mother, whom is crying in sorrow. "M-madam, my name is Garroth and I'm a guard in training. Ill be here to assist you, for a crime that someone has stolen your bread. Tell me the direction that the thief went to." As I held out my hand, helping her up. She looked at me with losing hope eyes. "T-that w-way." She cried. I took out my sword and ran straight to the forest, losing myself with the pace I was in. "I went into deep." I clarified my self, slapping my forehead. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! Look what you've gotten yourself into Garroth! You didn't go to guard training with Azura and Dante, you left Laurence all alone, and now your lost in the woods!" As I threw my sword straight to a tree, which randomly screamed. "Eepp!" As a girl fell from the oak tree, but lands perfectly on her legs. "You! Stop it this instance!!!" As I point at her, but that pointing was useless cause she's running away!!! I grabbed my sword and started to run after her, with full speed. "Stop right there thief!" I threw the sword which caught her shirt onto the tree. "Gahhh!!! Uh no." As she tried to move but couldn't. I came close to her and stared straight into her eyes. Her eyes was a warm caramel color that felt so familiar to me before, her dark black Lickerish hair, and her tanned skin. I felt like I know her, I felt like doing something because my heart won't stop beating. I pinned her, coming closer then ever before, I don't know what I'm doing but someone stop me! "W-what are you doing!?" She squeaked, blushing madly. Her voice, her gentle voice, I swear I heard that voice before!

"Aphmau, I never had the guts to tell you... But I love you."

My self conscious grabbed my brain shaking it like crazy, telling me names, telling me things.

"Big brother, wake up."

"Does it still hurts big brother? Does it throbs like you told Lilian?" Zane smirked looking at me, it didn't matter what look he gave to me, or how he's laughing at me in the inside, but at least he's here to help me... "Tell him Garroth, he's your brother after all, and just like I told you telling people your problems helps a lot." Lilian said as her smile grew bigger by the minute. "It is true little brother, my heart throbs of what I have seen in the forest. My own friend that I called brother, the one who as well likes her, and said that we shouldn't fight, kissed her. In the forest..." My heart pounded, broken into piece's like a broken window. "There there big brother, I'm here for you, and I'll always be here for you." As I saw his eyes narrow and a big smile came across his face. I know I shouldn't trust him because of what he did to this village and Aphmau, but I have nothing to loose. "Look at me and Lilian Garroth." Zane demanded, and I as the fool looked into his eyes. All I felt was nothing, no emotions at all. "Stick with me big brother and you won't worry about Aphmau, back stabbing Laurence or this village again. Now all you have to do is be loyal to me." I couldn't do nothing to stop myself at all, so I followed his command. "Yes baby brother. ERM no, Master Zane." As I bowed down to him. "It worked Lilian, it actually worked!!!!" As Zane clapped in joy. "Now brother, your mission is to bring me the amulet that Aphmau is hiding. I want you to get it. Oh and if they don't want to give you the amulet, let's just say don't go easy on them." As he laughed out loud with pride. I trudged to the path where the plaza is until someone bumped into me. "Garroth! You finally came out of your room!" As a brunette smiled at me, giving my dark heart to beat. But at last, all I did was stare at him with no emotion in my eyes. "Garroth, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange since Kik's baby shower." He talked out loud, a bit furious but wanting to cry. But still nothing came out of me, all I did was shug. "Garroth... Aphmau worried about you, Dantes worried about you, the whole village is worried about you!!! I'm worried about you..." Laurence grabbed my hand and squeezed it tight. My heart started to pound, and heat raised all the way up to my face. Laurence gave me an upset look and walked away, letting my hand go free.

"No... Laurence... Come back..."

"Laurence... Aphmau... I'm sorry..." I forcefully whispered and rested my head on the girls shoulder. "P-please don't cry. I-I'm sorry I stole that lady's bread. Just please, I don't like swing people cry." Her voice rang in my head. "I-I'm sorry... Aphmau..." I wept. "H-how do you know my name?" She said looking at me, but all I did was continuing on crying and saying sorry. "There, there friend. Don't cry. I'm here and I'll help." As she patted my back. "T-thank you... Aphmau." She hesitated a bit as well but suddenly hugged me.

"Its alright... Garroth..."
