Now that we are out of the nether Aaron stops attempting to kill me. Well physically.
"Why would you betray me like that?" He asks me.
"For the last time, I didn't betray you."
"Yes you did. I remember it."
"They altered your memories."
"Oh yeah. Sure."*super major sarcasm*
"What reason would I have to betray you?"
"To escape the nether without me."
"But I was in there too."
"Yeah, so?"
"UGHH!"
"You never answered my question on why you-"
"SHUTUP!!!"
"Ok," he is quiet for the rest of the trip to his camp.
After I yell at Aaron I notice that Laurence and Zane are looking at me weird. What do they want? Ugh boys are so frustrating.
"I told you." Laurence says to me.
"What?"
"That he would bring that up when I let him out of the lasso."
"Yeah, so?"
"Guys," Zane says, "I need to go."
"Why?" I may not like Zane...but he saved us. I don't want him to just leave.

"I need to get back to the nether."
"What? No! Why?"
"I need to make them think that I was trying to stop you. It is the only way that they won't kill your siblings."
"T-thank you Zane."
He jumps back into the portal.
"Well, he's finally gone," Laurence says.
Wow. He saved our lives. Really? "Yep Laurence he is really gone. Why is this a good thing?"
"Are you serious?"
"..."
"Wow. He has tried to kill us so many times it is crazy."
"But he just saved us from the nether."
"For all we know he could be going back to get more shadow nights."
But... He saved us... He saved Aaron... He saved me. I must have looked sad about trusting him, because Laurence hugs me. "Laurence get off."
"Why? It's just a hug."
"Laurence, get off Y/n," Aaron says now that we are at the camp.
"...fine..." Laurence says.
"Thanks." I say to both of them.
"What is this place? Where are we?" Laurence asks.
I forgot that Laurence hasn't been here before. "We are at Aaron's camp. I have no where else to go soo... I stay here."
"Correction. Stayed here," Aaron says.
"What? Why?"
"You know... The whole betraying situation."
"FOR THE LAST TIME I DIDN'T BETRAY YOU!!!"
"Sure... Anyways you can't stay here anymore. Looks like you are on the run again."
"The run? Y/n, what are you not telling me?"
Shoot I forgot that he is still here."Umm n-nothing. Why would I hide something from you?"
"Y/n, I can tell that your lying. Just tell me the truth. I thought that we were friends..."
"Yeah Y/n. Tell him." Aaron says mockingly.
"That is enough out of you." Laurence snaps at Aaron.
"....I-i am a w-wanted criminal..." I never wanted to let him know.
"WHAT?!? SINCE WHEN?!?"
"SINCE EIGHT YEARS AGO!!!"
"But... That's when you left the orphanage."
"I know."
"Y/n... I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
"When I was 10 I was turned into a shadow night. I started to lose control in the orphanage. I left... I-i didn't mean to hurt anyone if I did."
"... Just me ..."
"HEY!" We look at Aaron."I want you both out of here by tomorrow morning."
"We can leave now!"
"WAIT!!!"
"What?"
"I know you from somewhere... You are from the orphanage too, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Oh that's why you looked fermillier."
"Even though I knew you when we were kids, I still want you out."
"Fine. I will get my stuff and go. Back to the thug lyfe I guess..."
"What? Anyways you can come with me. The village that I come from has a beautiful, amazing, smart and, beautiful lord." Laurence says.
"Hey, lover boy. Are you sure that she will let a criminal into her village?"
"It won't be the first time."
"What?"
"If you would just hurry up and pack I could show you."
"Ok. I get it. I can pack." I grab everything and shove it into a f/c bag,"done."
"Good. Now we head to Phoenix Drop."
"Actually we have to stop by Fire Breeze first." (Fire Breeze is the village that you are from.)"I need to get C/n and D/n."
"Ok, then lets go. We have to leave now if we want to get to Phoenix Drop by the end of the day."
"Let's go."
"See you guys later." Aaron waves bye.
He might think that I am evil but at least I know that he is not.
