Trevor's POV

"Mommy! Daddy!" I yelled out to her, watching as everyone tried to push past an invisible force that held them back away from all of us. I continued trying to escape the man's tight grip, kicking and screaming for my parents. I didn't like these people, they were evil. Just as I began screaming out to my parents once again, a bright light washed over us and my family was gone.

"Let go of me! Mommy! Daddy!" I continued to cry out, tears streaming down my cheeks. All I wanted was to be safe in their arms once again. I wanted life to go back to normal, I didn't want any of this.

Ever since we came to Mommy's hometown everything went wrong. Yes, I finally met my father but I also lost my best friend. I wanted my brother back; he was much stronger than I was. He protected me from everything, always was there for me whenever I had a bad dream and didn't want to wake Mommy.

"Stop squirming you little brat!" The man who had been holding me growled out, tightening his hold even more, causing me to whimper in pain. I didn't stop though; I wanted my family and these people took me away.

We were currently walking down a long, dark hallway. That evil lady and Rob in front of everyone. It was only them, me, the man holding me and two other scary men. The hallway was scary, along with a putrid smell coating the concrete walls and floor.

"I want my Mommy! Take me home" I screamed out, kicking and thrashing. I heard an angry growl in front of me but I paid it no attention until I was suddenly ripped from the mans grip and thrown down to the ground.

"Will you shut up already!" Rob yelled angrily, before stepping aside to let the evil lady walk forward. I looked up in fear at her, immediately scooting back into the corner, cowering under her evil gaze. She looked down at me with a sinister smile, crouching in front of me.

"Hmm seems we killed off the stronger brat. This one is weak." She stated, talking as if I wasn't in the room. I whimpered, trying to push my way through the wall to try and escape them but obviously it didn't work. I did everything I could not look into her eyes as it seemed to make my body shiver in absolute terror; it was then that I finally noticed I was now in a small room that had walls of long pipes. Grandpa Kyle showed me these places, they were known as the dungeons. I didn't like these places, they seemed cruel. She continued to taunt, telling me how I was weak, how she couldn't believe my parents actually cared about a mutt like me.

"You'll be much easier to kill. I mean killing your brother was very easy, you should have seen how scared he as. And to think, you weren't even there for him-", I didn't let her finish as I spat at her, my anger now fueled as she talked about Payton.

"Don't talk about him!" I yelled at her. She wiped the spit off of her cheek, flicking it to the side before sighing. She then stood and walked out of the room, standing next to Rob. She turned her attention back to the other two scary men.

"Teach this brat some manners. Do not kill him. Gavin, watch them. Understood?" When they nodded to her words, she smirked looking over at me before finally walking off. I didn't notice the two men until the gate slammed closed and I saw them inside the cage with me. I began to shake with fear, tears streaming down my cheeks once again. The other man, who's name I learned to be Gavin, stood outside the cage, watching with no emotions on his face.

"Well this is gonna be fun." The one man stated as he began cracking his knuckles. I started to scream as the other man grabbed my leg and pulled me closer. Before I could even crawl back to the corner, I felt a large kick against my stomach. I screamed in pain, clutching my tummy as I tried to crawl away.

"We ain't done yet." The man laughed before his shoe came down on my head and then...nothing.

Everything was black.

I groaned softly, my hand reaching for my head as my eyes began to flutter open. I hissed at the bright light that greeted me, quickly shutting my eyes. I slowly sat up, still clutching my head. Slowly I tried opening my eyes, wincing but not as much. Eventually I could see without feeling any pain and realized I was in a large clearing with a giant lake before me. What caught me were the flowers, they seemed to shine even brighter than the actual sun. It captured me with its beauty. Just as I was about to touch them it finally registered in my mind that I wasn't in that awful cage anymore. What the hell was going on? I crawled over to the lake, feeling the need to have a drink but stopped at the sight of my reflection.

"What the-!" I yelled out, falling back and crawling away from the water. I was me, but much older. This didn't make sense. Am I dead!

"Quite far from it actually." I heard a voice behind me chuckle. I looked over my shoulder, my eyes becoming wide at the person who stood before me. I quickly stood, stumbling slightly from the pain still in my head even though it began to heal.

I gazed at the person in front of me in shock. It was me! But that doesn't make sense, how could I be standing in front of myself?

"Oh please, I'm way more attractive than you brother." He smirked, standing so casually in front of me. I was about to question how he could read my mind but stopped at his words.

"P-Payton?" I stuttered out. He smiled, nodding his head. That immediately blocked out any thoughts I had as I ran over to him, hugging him tightly while crying into his shoulder.

"I-I'm so sorry Pay! I'm sorry I wasn't there to save you! It's my fault-", he suddenly stopped me by clamping a hand over my mouth.

"None of this is your fault Trevor. Never think that. Come, let's take a walk." He said, standing before helping me up.

"Where are we?" I asked as we walked along a dirt path that seemed to surround the lake. This place was truly something else. It seemed normal but there were certain things that gave way that it wasn't a normal clearing. One of those being the shiny flowers.

"It doesn't really have a name, so let's just call it a meeting room of sorts."

"A meeting room?"

"Yeah, the Mood Goddess created this place. It seems lately she only uses this place when she needs to speak with someone. She was meant to come see you but I requested to come speak to you. She's very kind. Her mate's also really funny." He chuckled, possibly thinking back to a memory. It felt weird looking at him like this, older. I know I looked this way too but seeing him like this, my mind could only race with thoughts of what he could have become if he was still alive.

"Let's not think of those things Trevor-"

"I'll get revenge for what they did to you Payton." I stated, feeling my anger rise as more of those thoughts surfaced.

"Trevor revenge will bring you nothing. It won't change the past." He sighed, stopping us as he placed his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm happy here Trevor."

"How can you be happy here? You could be so much happier with us, with me, with mom and dad! Doesn't it bother you that you'll never find your mate, never find love, never get to see the world, never meet your mate, never become a father!" I yelled out at him, shoving his hands off of my shoulders.

"Of course, I miss my family. I miss my parents, I miss you most of all Trevor, you're my best friend and you always will be. Yes, I might not be able to experience falling in love or have children but I know that one day my mate's soul will return here once again and we will live happily together. I might not have kids, but I'll still be the Uncle to your little monsters regardless of where I am." He stated calmly, as if none of this ever bothered him. He chuckled, shaking his head when he realized, I wasn't satisfied with his answer.

How could he be happy with this? How is he not angry; angry that he won't be able to live a full life!

"I was angry in the beginning. When I first got here, I wanted revenge, wanted to take my anger out on anyone frankly. I felt it was unfair, I still feel that way but I've moved on, realizing that no matter how angry I was, I could never change the past." He shrugged, a smile still on his lips.

"Trevor, I know you don't understand now, but one day you will see it the way I do. Hopefully you see it when it's needed." I rolled my eyes at his statement, still not wanting to believe that he would be happy with how his life turned out. I wouldn't understand it, the people who did this to him needed to pay for what they did.

"Promise me one thing Trevor, never believe anyone who tells you you're weak. You are the strongest person I know. And whatever happens in the future, remember that not everyone is guilty." He stated before pulling me in for a long hug. I wanted to question what he meant but suddenly it felt as if I was falling.

I screamed loudly, sitting up before groaning in pain. It felt as if my whole body had been hit with a metal bat over and over again. I could barely see out of my left eye as I looked around the room. I was now alone, no longer surrounded by the two large scary men. I rolled over onto my back, tears slowly flowing down my cheeks as I thought about Payton. I didn't want to leave him, I wanted to stay by his side. I continued to sob for who knows how long before I heard footsteps approaching.

"What do you mean you can't find her! You said you could find anyone!" I heard the voice that belonged to the evil lady. I knew her name was Emily but evil lady suited her more.

"I'm sorry ma'am I've tried everything I could possibly think of." A man said, fear present in his voice as their footsteps got closer.

"I don't want excuses! Find her!" She yelled out. He agreed before I heard his footsteps running away.

"Seems they did a number on you. Surprised they didn't kill you." She spoke, standing in front of the cage with a smirk on her lips. I wanted to yell at her, spit at her, rip her to shreds but my body couldn't move with the pain that consumed it.

"Seems you might be a bit tougher than I thought, still not as strong as your brother. Took me two times to kill the little brat." She mocked, realizing that whenever she mentioned Payton, I would become angry. I did just that as I let out a pain-filled growl.

"Aww it's so cute every time." She teased before walking off, leaving me alone in these dungeons.

"Promise me one thing Trevor, never believe anyone who tells you you're weak." I could hear Payton's voice in my head, trying to keep my spirits up and to not give up.

"I don't know if I am Pay..." I whimpered as I crawled into the corner, whimpering from time to time before finally passing out once again.

I'm sorry Payton.
