Demolish Her

(ELIZABETH POV)
9:30 AM) 3 months later

WORD COUNT: 2279

Elizabeth: It's working...huh?
Ivan: You should never underestimate him
Elizabeth: Oh, hush
Ivan: I'm just stating the facts
I took another look at the orb and there was little magik in it
Ivan: Shouldn't there be more in the orb, we have been doing this for 3 months! Do you think she knows?
Elizabeth: Doubt it, they don't even know where I am
Ivan: They will find out eventually
Elizabeth: Yeah, maybe...
I looked at the orb being filled slowly with the magik
Elizabeth: But they have no idea what coming for them...for her

AARON POV)
I rolled to the right side of my pillow to feel my wife's hair but instead, I felt her thigh
Aph: Starting early?
She put her hand on my head instead
I chuckled "No" I kissed her cheek
Aph: Do you at least want breakfast?
Aaron: Sure, Is the baby up?
Aph: Not right now, but I did feed her three hours ago

Aaron: Okay
She got up, stretched, and went downstairs. Soon after she left Alina started to cry, so I got out of bed and went to her grey bassinet that was on the right of Aphmau's side of the bed. I picked her up and cradled her
Aaron: Shhh,~ you'll see Mama in a bit my love
I kissed her forehead and then smelled her diaper. After changing her we went downstairs, the smell of Bacon and eggs filled my nose and probably Alina's, she made a funny but curious face I just laughed.
Aaron: Smells good, babe
Aph: Why thank you, Hi baby!
She gave Alina a peck on the cheek
Aaron: You want help?
Aph: Sure, the bacon is done so you can take it out of the oven

10:06 AM)

APH POV)
After breakfast and washing dishes, we got dressed. I put Alina in a beige footed onesie and a hat that was the same color but with a cute little grey cat on the front of it
Aph: I don't want to leave her this early...
I said as I put Alina's necklace on
Aaron: Me either, but it's just for two days love
I put Alina's other clothes, bottle, breast milk, and other essentials in her baby bag.
Aaron: You ready to go?
Aph: Mhm
We got our bags as well and went out the door, I locked it and went to the car

10 mins later)
After dropping off the baby at my mom's and a painful goodbye, we got back in the car
Aaron: You okay?
Aph: Just a bit..dizzy
Aaron: I can stop the car-
Aph: N- No, *sigh* it's alright...um did the others say when they will be at the lodge?
Aaron: Kacy and Zane are already there as well as Mel and Lucinda, Kim/Ghost, and Travis said they were on their way

A few minutes later, we had arrived at the lodge
Aph: This looks way different in the spring...
Aaron: Yeah.
I looked at Aaron, his face showed anxiety, guilt, and sadness so I held his hand and gripped it softly
Aaron: It does look different
We got out of the car and I went to the trunk
Aaron: Don't even think about it
Aph: I heal faster now Aaron, it's fine
Aaron: You have a point but we still don't know what's going with you yet, so it's best if we take precautions
Aph: If you say so, but you do know of something happens-
Aaron: You will use your magik, I know
I still opened the trunk and grabbed my bag and so did Aaron. We entered the lodge and I instantly felt so many emotions at once, no one else was here though (probably because of the events from last year)
"Aphmau!"
I snapped out of my gaze and looked at the orange-haired girl in front of me
Lucinda: Hey sweets, you alright?
I quickly gave her a hug
Aph: I miss her...
Of course, I missed my baby girl, but this whole place already made me feel worse
Lucinda: Aww, I'm sure she's doing wonderful with Sylvanna right now
Aph: You're right
We talked for a while until
Nana: Aphmau-Senpai!
Aph: Nana! How are you?
Nana: I'm doing good, thank you
Aph: No problem
I looked behind her and I could tell Zane was smiling under his mask
Aph: Hey, Zane
Zane: Hey
We also hugged
Zane: How's the babyyy
I laughed, all he does now is ask about Alina whenever we meet up all he talks about is the baby, I don't blame him though
Aph: She's doing amazing, are you thinking about one?
Zane: I-
He glanced at Nana and looked at the floor
Zane: We've talked about it...
I felt twinkles in my eyes
Zane: Aph, don't get ahead of yourself!
Aph: I- 'm not...
Zane: Mhmm
