Ok so I have gotten hooked on Aphmau's series on youtube. It is awesome. Now this story happens after the Scaleswind attack and the Irene Dimension never happened. Why Aphmau why. So enough of my rambling. Enjoy.

Chapter 1

Aphmau's POV

I gasped for breath as I ran through the dark forest surrounding me and the brilliant castle I escaped from. While I ran through the forest the tree branches cut into my skin as if a knife blade did, drawing blood and making it run down my arms, face and torso. My once beautifully stunning ballgown I had been wearing was now tattered and ripped up due to the branches and bloodstained. I looked over my shoulder to check if anyone was chasing after me but it was too dark to see anyone. Instead I heard they were following me. I may have been injured and bleeding but it hurt more knowing those I thought I could trust were the ones to betray me in the end. I knew if I didn't get away they would keep me locked up if they caught me but I wouldn't let that happen.

As the voices drew closer, I ran faster even though I was in heels making this difficult with the tree roots sticking out of the ground. The farther I ran in the forest, the darker it became. Even though I was frightened and in pain, I pushed myself to keep going. I had to escape the forest and those chasing me. What felt as if it was an eternity, I saw light peeking through the trees in front of me. I knew that was my way out of this dark never ending forest and finally escape those after me. I raced toward the light and finally escape.

Once I had reached the light and escaped the forest I caught my breath. I had bent over to hold my torso causing my dark hair to fall into my face. I stood back up and looked back at the forest that was behind me and let out a sigh of relief. I was finally out of the forest and safe from them. Suddenly I heard them coming and they were very, very close. I instantly knew they would leave the forest to reattain me and drag me back to their castle. I was starting to panic and knew I had to keep running. I spun around and started to run. The moment I started to run I collided with someone. I almost fell down but I felt their hands gently grab my upper arms and pulled me against their chest. I looked up and saw a blurry outline of someone. I gasped when I felt my legs give out. Then everything went black.

When I came to I saw I was in a bed. I looked around the room wondering where I was. I got up and looked out the window. What I saw worried me. I was in O'kasis and that was a bad thing for me. I heard the door open and heard a familiar evil voice speak. "I would have never thought you would be alone away from your guards, or rather away from my dear older brother." I turned and glared at Zane. "Well I was invited to a celebration and they were okay with me going alone. We had no idea it was Shadow Knights that invited me." I explained making sure I was far enough from Zane. "So you went blindly into a trap. Hehehe and here I thought you would never do that." He said walking over to me.

I knew he was up to something and that never ended well. "But this worked out in my favor." Zane said inches from me. My eyes widened when I realized what he meant. I instantly glared at him a second later. "I will NEVER marry you Zane." I growled. "If you don't I burn Phoenix Drop to the ground." He told me with a evil smirk on his face. "You wouldn't." I snapped. "Try me. I will leave you to think it over Aphmau." Zane said as he left. I heard the door lock. I knew that was to keep me in here. Garroth, Laurance and Dante were not going to be happy about this at all.

Zane's POV

That was all too easy. I planned to head to Phoenix Drop and taunt my brother about this. I knew they cared about each other. Aphmau just has yet to realize it. Hehehe oh I would enjoy seeing the look on Garroth's face when he learns I would be the one marrying Aphmau. Now all I have to do is wait for Aphmau's answer. She would marry me just to keep her precious village and everyone there safe from harm. I had the guards ready and we set off to Phoenix Drop.

'Oh this would be an enjoying event to see.' I thought as we were almost there. Garroth would not be able to get Aphmau in time. No, this event I would make sure he was too late to stop.

Garroth's POV

I was pacing around the guard tower with Laurance and Dante watching. "One of us should have gone with Lord Aphmau. She should have been back by now." I said getting really worried. "Don't worry Garroth. Lord Aphmau can take care of herself. The only problem we would have is if she got kidnapped by Zane." Laurance said. That comment made me glare at him. "Smooth one Laurance. You know Garroth is sensitive about Zane being near Aphmau" Dante said.

Before I could answer Katelyn climbed up the ladder looking very scared and that worried me. She never got scarred. "Zane is at the gate. I don't like that." Katelyn told us. "Laurance you jinxed it." I said. The four of us leave the guard tower and race to the gate. Once we got there I glared at Zane. "What do you want Zane." I growled.

He looked at me and smirked. "Oh I have what I want and that is Aphmau." He said. Katelyn, Laurance AND Dante had to hold me back. "If you harm her.." I threatened. Zane acted offended. "Now why on earth would I harm my own fiance." He said. I was once again held back. "She would never agree to that." Dante said. "Not if I threatened to burn this place to the ground." Zane told us. Katelyn glared at him. "Well we'll just stop the wedding." She snapped. "I would love to see you try. The wedding is in two weeks. I wish I could stay longer and rub it in but I have a wedding to plan." Zane said as he left.

I balled my hands into fists and tried to stay calm. We were going to stop that wedding and save Aphmau before she is forever trapped with Zane.

Done. Review and no flames.
