Y/N's P.O.V
"Laurence. Just tell us what happened," Aphmau said.

"It was G-Garroth. He knocked me out and took the relic," He said sitting up then wincing.

"Laurence please just relax. You were hit pretty hard. Your body still has to recover," I said putting my hands on his shoulders.

"You have to find Garroth! He is probably gonna give it to Zane!" Laurence exclaimed trying to get up.

"Laurence just stop! Garroth would never do anything like that ever!" I said as a tear rolled down my face. He stopped and looked at me. He wiped away the tear with his hand. I looked up at him. He smiled.

"Listen Y/N. Garroth is my best friend. I know he would never do that but, we will never know for sure until we check," He said with his calming voice.

I sniffed and stared into his blue eyes. "Your right. I just hope he's okay," I said.

•••••••••

"Hey! You!" I said. The stranger turned around and headed towards me.

"I know where Garroth went," He said.

"Show us," Aphmau said. The group followed him but Dante stayed behind.

We stopped in the middle of the woods as Zane, Garroth, and Lillian stared at us. Zane held the relic in his hand.

"Garroth! What are you doing?!" Aphmau said. Zane laughed maniacally.

"Your too late Lord Aphmau," He laughed evilly, "Garroth is now a member of the Jury Of Nine. He faithfully serves me."

"WHAT?!?!" Cake yelled, "No!"

"You obviously have him under some spell! Let him go! NOW!" Laurence exclaimed as he ran towards Zane with sword in hand.

Garroth stepped up and their swords clashed together as they stared each other deeply in the eyes.

"Zane does not control my actions, he guides me down the right path. My loyalties rest with him now," Garroth said calmly.

"Garroth, you have to be kidding me, what happened to you?" Laurence questioned.

Zane then laughed again.

"Can't you tell little Laurence? Garroth has become a faithful member of the Jury Of Nine. My devoted guard. Just like your dear friend Cake," Zane said. Everyone looked at Cake confused.

"Guys! I would never betray you! Trust me!" She said nervously.

"You lier! Your just like what you said! Your a Jury Of Nine scum just like them! You should just be on their side to begin with!" Laurence said now turning around to face Cake. Cake then ran away.

"No! Your lieing!" Aphmau exclaimed.

"It was so easy to corrupt my poor poor big brother here. After all, the one thing he cared for in his life was suddenly ripped from him, by someone he considered to be his loyal friend. The one person he loved and the one person he trusted having a relationship right behind his back," Zane was smiling evilly, "How pathetic big brother! I can't believe you ever loved such a back stabbing woman in the first place. Now Lillian here, she's a woman of great loyalty to me. I'm glad she was there to talk to you when you needed someone Garroth. Of course I sent her to check on my beloved brother."

"Lillian was able to talk with me out of being foolish and trusting Y/N with my heart. I know better now," Garroth said holding his sword, pointing it to the ground.

"Then show them exactly what you are," Zane said evilly. Garroth then yelled and turned into a tall Jury Of Nine, with a helmet over his face, blue sword in hand, and blue mist all around him. He then pushed Laurence back making him fall onto the ground.

"Garroth why?" I asked almost about to cry.

"This is the form members of the Jury Of Nine take when they unleash their full potential. Can't you feel the darkness radiating from his heart?!" Zane laughed evilly. Katelyn was then a Jury Of Nine member, with her clawed weapons out she glared at Zane with anger.

"Look what we have here. Another traitor. Garroth, relinquish her of her Jury title. Now!" Zane demanded. They both ran at each other.

"GARROTH DONT!!" I yelled. But he didn't listen.
