Garroths POV
This time it wasn't a guard...it was Zane!

"What do you want with us" I yelled

"Now now brother I won't hurt you...as long as this young woman over here does exactly what I say..."

"What do you want with me?!? I didn't do ANYTHING to you!" Aph screamed as tears threatened to spill from her crystallised eyes.

"You made my brother fall in love and that is enough for me to do this"

"Is Levin ok?"

"Yes yes he's fine!"

She tapped her tied up chair once.

"What do you want from me" she growled

"I don't want I need"

"Fine what do you NEED from me"

"Oh look two more people how fun"

"WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME?!?!?" Tears were now streaming down her face and she was struggling to get out of the chair.

"I need to marry you" she stopped and gave a look. Man I'm telling you if looks could kill Zane WOULD be dead in a second.

"I will never marry a pig like you!"

"You would if I made you lose...the ones you love" he said grinning evilly at me.

"What?"

"That's your worst fear isn't it? Losing the ones you love?"

She stayed silent

"Then why are the rest of us here?" I asked

"Oh I need you to marry Nicole over here for O'Khasis don't you remember? Anyways we'll be having two weddings tomorrow!"

"I hate you and I hope you rot in the nether for all the things you do and lady Irene better have mercy on your souls because when I'm through with you you'll-" Aph threatned

"I'll what oh I'd love to hear this!" Zane interrupted

"You won't have a head to smart mouth people and threaten"

"Aph calm down there's nothing we can do" I whispered

"Nothing we can do? Nothing we can d...how can you give up so easily?!?" She asked

"Just don't say stuff you'll regret"

"Now the weddings tomorrow I'll show you all to your rooms and don't think about escaping because I will find you all and when I do I'll make the marriage and then kill you all" Zane theatned

"Why are Dale and Logan here?" Aph asked

"Witnesses for our wedding my love"

"You call me that one more time and I'll kick your mouth shut!"

"No you won't or I'll make you lose the ones you love is that clear? My love?"

"...yes" she sighed

Aphmaus POV
We were walking down a hallway to our rooms when I felt Zane's hand wrap around my waist. I slapped it and I heard him growl in my ear.

"I can make you lose the ones you love so allow me to do what I want!" I sighed and he wrapped his arms around my waist making me feel disgusting especially since Garroth was right there.

"Here's your room Garroth here's yours Nicole, Logan, Dale,"

"Wheres mine?" I asked

"Oh you're sharing with me!" I cringed at the thought "samew bed and everything" he smirked I gritted my teeth and balled my fists.

"Feel free to venture through the castle...just don't leave because I know your worst fears now remember?" He laughed manically

"I'm going to talk to Logan"

"No there's one thing I want from you first"

"What?"

"A practice kiss...for our wedding day" I took a deep breath and kissed him. Not like I kissed Garroth though. Wot Garroth there was love and passion with Zane is hate and disgust. He walked away and I knocked on Logans door. He answered and I ran in and sat on his bed.

"What do I do?" I said starting to cry

"Garroth told me he had a plan but said he would only tell you first" I was still sobbing and I couldn't control it but I got up and left to Garroth's room anyways.

"Aph here come in" he said gesturing me in and I did so. "Why are you crying?"

"Cause I have to marry your jerk for a brother when I still love you!" He smiled

"I have a plan you really thought I'd let you marry my brother?"

"Kind of" I laughed slightly through the tears. He cupped my face and brought my head to look at his.

"I would never" and he pulled me in for a kiss. Our lips met and everything from the year before we were apart came flooding back. Outr lips fit so perfectly together and it felt so right. He pulled away smiling at me.

"Here's the plan while Zane is asleep or out with his guards we leave we all gather here when the castles asleep. We bring everyone back to base but since Zane knows where our base is we get everyone out and hide somewheres completely new and somewhere Zane would NEVER look in a million years" Garroth whispered

"Garroth...that is amazing this is why I love you and not your brother" we then started kissing again he pulled away

"Go tell Logan and Dale I'll tell Nicole she can live with us at base if she wants is that alright?"

"Of course"

Garroths POV
She gave me a goodbye kiss and went away. I smiled knowing exactly where to go.

??? POV
I watched through the small window as Garroth told his plan. I needed to help them escape this place. Tonight I'll distract Zane and his guards while they escape its perfect and if they catch me well that's perfectly fine as long as Aphmau is safe I'm ok.

Zoeys POV
Zenix is getting better he's saying two words at a time now and sometimes three. And Laurence...is still singing everything he says but that's ok for now.

"There was...then black...woke up...Garroths gone" I sighed as Zenix was making no sense still. Garroth wasn't here was he?

(Happy birthday tune) "Garroth is coming back Garroth is coming back don't worry he'll bring Aph Garroth is coming back" Laurence sang ugh what are they talking about?

A/N who do you think ??? Is? Why are they helping Aphmau and Garroth? Why would he sacrifice himself for Aphmau? All these questions will be answered someday but...not today Happy Birthday to anyone whos birthday is coming up and as always I love you all ❤❤❤❤ have a great day, night, afternoon whenever you're reading this byeee❤!❤!❤!
