Garroth's pov

"*In faded voice* Garroth! Wake up Garroth!" My head ached and I slowly opened my eyes. My vision was blurry and I noticed I was in a dark room. "Your awake!" A familiar voice yelled and as my eyes adjusted I saw a figure in front of me. "Laurence?" I asked and the figure nodded his head. "Yes It's me Garroth." Laurence said and I let out a breath of relief.

"Wait.....I saw you be consumed by that light." I said and Laurence lit a candle that made the room a bit lighter. "Yeah, I was but then I woke up here. It seems we are underground though because there is no light but there is a doorway but it's locked." Laurence said a tint of irritation in his voice. "Where is Aphmau?" Laurence asked in concern and I didn't know how to respond.

I looked down at my hands and cleared my throat. "I don't.....know..." I was feeling really guilty that I couldn't protect Aphmau and Laurence seemed to know how upset I was because he started rubbing my back. "It's going to be okay Garroth, we will find out what is happening." Laurence said with a smile and I smiled back at him sadly. "Thanks Laurence." I said and closed my eyes.

I was remembering all the fun times I had with everyone. When I first met Aphmau and how it was love at first sight and when Aphmau first came back with Laurence and he flirted with her constantly that it made me so jealous.......I miss those days....the days where we can just relax.....I really hope after this, Aphmau and I can lead a happy life together raising Levin and Malachi.

I didn't notice that I had fallen asleep but when I woke up, I was using Laurence's shoulder as a pillow. "Oh! Sorry." I said as I got up and rubbed my head. My hair was a mess and it was getting really irritating.....maybe I should cut it? I sighed and then looked at my hand. "What will we do if we can't find Aphmau?" I asked and Laurence shook his head and lightly punched me.

"Don't even think about that. We WILL find Aphmau." Laurence said encouragingly. He was just like another brother.....a little like Vylad. I mean, they look alike don't they? And I can't believe how much Levin looks like me when I was a kid and Malachi looks a lot like Vylad as a kid or a mini Laurence. I chuckled at a mini Laurence, all I could think about was Laurence's head on a tiny body.

I stifled my laughed and Laurence looked at me in concern. "Are you okay?" He asked and I nodded and put a serious face on. "Do you have any idea where Travis and Dante are?" I asked and Laurence shook his head. "No, I woke up in here all by myself." I sighed and stood up. It was still pretty dark so I couldn't see so I ran my hands against the wall.

*click* There was a small click and when light flooded the room I had to shield my eyes. "What did you do?" Laurence asked and I honestly had no idea. We both walked out of the room.....we were in the basement of the old lords house......Levin's father's house. "Why were we down there?" Laurence asked and I looked around. Everything was the same as we left it.....nothing had changed.
