- Garroth's POV -
Garte goes to leave the basement and reminds us that he is not done with us and that he will be back he slams the door behind him we all struggle to get closer to each other, I don't know what he has planned but I hope that it is not too terrible. We all sit in silence as we came to terms with what had happened.
'So you found out then' I said to Zane and Travis
'Ya I guess we did' Zane said with a muffled voice.
'We were going to tell you today we had no idea that he would be here, he must have gotten out early as he was coming out next week. Laurence explained to the two of them.
I want us all to promise that we will do whatever it takes to get out of this' Travis said to us all.
'I promise' we all replied,
'I want you all to know in case something happens to us that I love you all as brothers and Laurence I will always love you'.
- Laurence's POV -
I lent in and kissed Garroth. He kissed back in less than a second and we stayed there for at least ten. I pulled way and Garroth buried his head into the crook of my neck sobbing softly. I could feel his tears on my neck. All I wanted to do was to hug him and tell him it will be ok but I can't because my hands are tied , literally, so instead I kissed his head softly and rubbed the side of my cheek on his head while I started to cry as well.
Our moment together is interrupted by Garte who drags us apart brutally
'Not under my roof boys' he says whilst punishing us by hitting us both in the head.
'One, Two, Three, Four, I think that someone is missing here' he said to us all looking down at us as if we were nothing.
'No were are ALL here' Garroth said speaking up to his father.
'Really I think that Vylad and what's his name Dante? are not here for our little get together' he said trying to break us, we remain silent.
'Well here's the deal I need both of them here and I need you to make that happen for me, and if you know what is best for you and each other you will do as I say' we still say nothing.
'I want to show you all a place that I built ages ago' as he undoes the rope leaving only our wrists bound he pulls the rope leading us to a small room in the corner of the basement.

- Garroth's POV -
As we are all pulled into the room I see a small cage in the corner of the room, I begin to panic wondering what he has planned.
'Garroth since you have had the courage to speak up today you can help me get your little brother here and his so-called relationship' Garte says shoving a phone into my hand as he prompts me to call Vylad, I put down the phone I know that he will beat me for it but I have been taking beatings for my baby brothers for years and I am not going to stop now.
'No I will not help you to hurt my baby brother' I tell my father
'I was hoping you would say that' he tells me as he throws me to the floor and kicks me in the stomach and into the small cage and locks me inside. If this is what it takes to save Vylad then so be it. Garte turns to Laurence and punches him in the face he falls to the floor but quickly gets up even though his nose is bleeding, oh my Irene this is what he had planned now that I'm locked up he can do whatever he wants to my lover unless I trick Vylad and Dante into coming here. Laurence looks at me with fear in his eyes and I try to force open the cage.
'The cage is not going to open you stupid boy' Garte jokes as he leads Travis out of the room. When he returns he shuts the door and moves Laurence and Zane in front of me, he pushes them to the floor and ties their hands to their ankles.
'So Garroth do you want to help me or not or do these two have to pay for your choices he asks' Zane and Laurence look at me as if it was to say that they could take it. They both gave me a smile and I  knew what they wanted me to do I just don't know if I can do that to them. I think of Vylad and how I knew he would never get through this I then realised what I needed to do.
'I'm not helping you' I told him as he began to smile he turned to Zane and Laurence and forced them to face each other.
'Ok boys what you are going to do is very easy, your going to have some fun together.' My head fills with shock as I realise what he is going to make them do.
