Laurance's POV

   Why was Garroth in my room? I walked up to him and noticed that his breathing was shallow. I went to feel his pulse on his wrist, but pulled my hand back upon feeling a slightly sticky substance. I inhaled the metallic scent of the blood and gently lifted Garroth's arm, examining the underside. It was littered with what seemed to be hundreds of razor thin cuts, staining Garroth's arm red. I checked his other arm. It looked the same. Now worried for Garroth's health, I gently lifted his undershirt stained with blood from his arms to see if his stomach was cut as well. It wasn't, but it was covered with the beginnings of what would be very painful bruises. I ripped one of my shirts into strips and started wrapping them around Garroth's bleeding arms, wishing that water could be found and used in the Nether. After I finished bandaging him, something still bothered me. It was clear Garroth had been tortured in the two hours since he had been taken away, but why would he be put in my room? He was a prisoner, so he should be in a cell. It didn't make sense, and I wondered....

(Nya ha ha I'm evil I'm sorry don't hurt me)
Your POV

   "You're going to wear a path in the floor," Travis commented as I continued pacing the length of the cell. I ignored him, too worried about other things. It had taken Laurance approximately twenty-five minutes to find and get Katelyn and Travis here. Laurance had left to find Garroth just over a half hour ago, and he still hadn't returned. Anxiety gnawed at me.

   "Ngh...." Travis and I both stopped what we were doing and looked at Katelyn. She slowly sat up, rubbing her head.

   "Katelyn! You're okay!" Travis yelled, launching himself at the blunette. Her eyes slowly focused on him hugging her. She put her head on his shoulders and hugged back weakly. I smiled at them. They were so cute together.

   "What happened?" Katelyn asked as Travis released her.

   "The Shadow Knights decided to split us up into different cells, and you went a different direction," I started. Travis sat next to Katelyn, and Katelyn laid her head on his shoulder, looking drained. "I don't know what happened with you."

   "The Shadow Knights knew you hated me so they kept us together, Katie," Travis said, wiggling his eyebrows. Katelyn didn't notice. "I was put in one cell and you were going to be put in the one next to me, but you elbowed one of the Shadow Knights. They knocked you out and threw you in the cell. Then Laurance, actual Laurance not the traitor one, came and brought us back to this cell and left to find Garroth."

   "Laurance hasn't returned yet, and I'm worried. What if something happened to him, or to Garroth?" I asked.

   "I'm sure they can take care of themselves. They're guards," Travis said with certainty. However, worry had edged its way onto his face. I continued pacing. Please let them be okay....

Garroth's POV

*~*~*Flashback*~*~*

   I was dragged out of the cell along with Travis and Katelyn, leaving a screaming (Y/N) behind. I grunted as my arm was bent painfully as I was pulled down a different hallway than Katelyn and Travis. Shoved into a room, stumbled and fell. Looking up, I realized that this room had a plain raised platform in the center, but that was it. The maroon walls were bare except for the occasional cracks where netherrack was visible. The door that had closed behind me was locked, but I was confused as to why I was here. Do they want to make me a Shadow Knight? The door swung inwards and I jumped back slightly. Quickly composing myself, I realized that the people who entered look like (Y/N). Some of them had hair just a few shades lighter or darker than hers, but none of them had the same innocent and caring aura (Y/N) did. (Y/N)'a siblings entered and circled me, forcing me to back up until my back hit the raised table. The door closed and the sound of the lock echoed. No one moved.

   "Soooo...." one of the females drew out the word. "Don't you think it's a shame that (Y/N) will never love you the way you love her?" She blinked innocently.

   "I am just a guard, I have a job of protecting the innocent. Did you mistake that for love?" I lied, keeping my poker face.

   "Oh my, it seems you're tougher than you look," the other female purred. "You know, I really appreciate a guy who-"

   "Cut it out Val. Now you're just being creepy," one of the males interrupted. Val scoffed.

   "Yeah, but were the villains. We're supposed to be creepy."

   "Not like that!"

   "Less talk, more torture," the other male said. The first female, who I think (Y/N) said was Becca, agreed. Everyone turned on me once again. I struggled to escape, but my arms were pinned behind my back. A sharp pain hit my stomach, and I yelped, attempting to curl in on myself. Another blow came, and j realized someone was kicking me. One after another, they kept coming. I couldn't breath, and a cough racked my lungs. The kicking stopped, and I was left alone for fifteen seconds before being lifted onto the platform. My wrists and ankles were strapped down, and the evil (L/N)S surrounded me with sadistic grins. Val pulled a knife out and slowly dragged it down my arm, but not pressing hard enough to cut. She trailed it back up before heading back down, pressing just hard enough to draw blood. The process continued in my left arm, until pain shot up my arm even when the knife wasn't touching it. Everyone moved to my right side, and the youngest looking took the knife. He didn't trace lines up and down my arm. Instead, he dug the knife into my arm and started carving. I bit my lip to keep from yelling out. After he finished the other guy took the knife and carved into my arm as well. Then Becca, then Val, all of them carving on top of each other's cuts. I could barely open my eyes, I felt so weak. Closing them even as I fought to stay conscious, I realized I might die. I'm sorry (Y/N) and Laurance and everyone else that I couldn't protect you.

   "Good night, little hero. Now that we put out names on you you're ours. Now get your rest for tomorrow's fun~" one girl whispered into my ear. That was the last thing I heard while conscious.
