Trevor's POV

I lost track of how long I had been here. Days turned into nights; nights turned into days. There was no window in the dungeons for me to know. The only time I ever got to see even artificial light is when Gavin came down with those two scary men, who I still hadn't learnt the names of; along with the evil lady and Rob. Those two rarely visited me though. Everyday I would receive a beating, making me wish that they would just end it, that they would just kill me already. At this point in time it didn't seem so bad in joining Payton up there, we could play again like we use too.

I missed my mom and dad though, I really hoped they were looking for me. I wasn't sure how long I would last anymore though, I felt completely numb to everything. Even with the beatings now I would just lay there and let them do what they normally do, which bothers them now as they now think its 'boring' to beat me up. Well we all can't have everything we want in life, now can we?

I think back to that encounter I had with Payton a lot, trying to hold onto his words, wanting to be as strong as he said I was. I knew he was wrong though; he was always the strong one between us. Whenever I got hurt, he would always help me through the pain but I never did the same for him and I regret it. I miss my brother; all I want is for him to be here with me. Even just to play a game with. I haven't done anything fun since I was taken.

I didn't bother flinching, like I did in the beginning, when I heard the slam of the large metal door hitting the wall. I assumed that, that was the only entrance and exit as it's the only time I've heard anyone come in from. I sat in my corner, waiting for someone to come open my cell and beat me or give me my dinner. I wasn't even sure someone could classify that as food, it tasted like mud. I would know, Payton and I once made mud pies and he dared me to try it so I did. It was yucky.

When the footsteps came closer, I could hear another set along with it, but these footsteps sounded smaller and softer. I lifted my head and watched as Gavin was walking past while pulling on a small arm that belonged to a little girl. I think she was the same age as me by the looks of her but I wasn't so sure. He stopped just next to my cage and instantly swung the door open, tossing her inside before leaving us alone in complete darkness once again.

I heard her whimper, seeing her cowering in the corner, trying to push herself through the wall to get out of here like I had done. I could see her clearly as my eyes had become accustomed to this kind of lighting and I knew it would take her a little while to get use to it.

"You okay?" I asked as I scooted closer to the bars that separated us. I felt bad for her, knowing how scared she most likely was with all of this happening. She continued to sob into her arms, not responding to me. I sighed, leaning against the wall.

"My names Trevor. What's yours?" I tried again, wanting to help her calm down and not cry. Mom always told me if you ever see a woman cry, try and make her laugh, as that will always cheer them up. Still she didn't respond and in fact began crying harder. I frowned, not meaning to make her more upset. Then an idea came to mind.

"Do you like flowers?" I asked curiously and that seemed to catch her attention. She sniffled softly, looking up at me and nodding with a sad pout on her lips. I smiled and reached into my pocket, pulling out the flower I had picked for mom the day that I was taken. Mom always liked flowers, so Payton and I would always try looking for the prettiest flowers for her. I pouted at my flower though when I saw that it was ugly looking now, some of the petals had fallen off and it was all scrunched up. I didn't know it would do that.

"H-Here." I said holding the broken flower out to her through the bars.

"I'm sorry it doesn't look pretty; I swear it was when I got it." I stated, watching as she slowly scooted over to me. She took the flower from my hand and looked down at it, a smile gracing her lips.

"My name's Evie." She spoke softly, still smiling down at the flower.

"Nice to meet you Evie." I smiled brightly, happy that she wasn't crying anymore.

We continued to talk for a while, getting to know each other. It was the first time since I got here that I actually felt happy, that I didn't want those mean men to finally kill me. She made it all better.

"Do you know why they took you?" I asked her eventually, curious as to why they wanted her.

"I-I don't know, I went to bed last night and then next thing I know, I wake up in a stranger's car and he brings me here." She shrugged, pouting sadly.

"I miss my family." She whimpered as she looked down at the flower again, still holding it since I gave it to her. I nodded my head, knowing exactly how she felt.

"I know. I miss mine too, but I'm sure they'll find us. I know my mom and dad, they'll come get us." I smiled, having faith that they would.

"That man who brought me here, he said my family is dead. They killed them all. I don't have anyone anymore." She cried again. I wanted to give her a hug, frankly cause I didn't know what to say. I don't know how I'd feel if I lost my whole family, just loosing Payton already hurt me so much I wouldn't want to experience that again.

"I'm really sorry Evie, but maybe you can come live with me and my family! My mom and dad don't really like each other a whole lot but I'm sure they wouldn't mind it. I promise I'll protect you and get you out of here." I smiled excitedly which also seemed to make her smile.

"Really? I can-"She was cut off by a loud bang. I jumped in fear, not wanting those mean men to come in but I saw that it was Gavin. He looked nervous as he rushed to my cell and quickly opened it. "Let's go kid. We got to leave now." He growled out and I immediately stepped back when he tried to grab me, not wanting to follow him.

"I don't want to go with you!" I yelled angrily, trying to dodge him while he just kept getting more frustrated.

"Do you want to see your parents again or not? I'm trying to save you, now come on." He growled and grabbed a hold of my arm.

"Wait! If I go, she has to come with!" He was about to argue but I glared up at him, trying to pull away again before he growled and quickly unlocked her cell.

"Let's go!" He yelled, just as we heard the metal door slam open and people running in. He cursed and grabbed out hands before running the opposite direction. We tried keeping up with him but he was running to fast for us, so he eventually picked us both up and kept running. I heard him mutter some words I didn't understand and watched as the wall in front of us exploded and crumbled to the ground. I winced as the light hit my eyes but I didn't have time to focus on the fact that I was outside, cause just as we stepped foot outside, we all fell to the ground, me rolling to the side with Gavin in between Evie and I. I saw that he had been hurt, smoke coming off of his wound as he groaned, trying to get up. I looked behind him to Evie and saw her trying to come towards us but something was keeping her back, like an invisible wall was in front of her and she couldn't get past. I ran towards her, seeing the evil lady approaching from behind her. Evie had tears streaming down her cheeks, crying out for me to help her.

"We have to go kid!" Gavin barked out in pain as he grabbed my arm. I tried pulling away from him but he was to strong, I had to save Evie.

"No, we can't leave her here! I promised she could come with us! Let me go!" But still I had no strength to break his hold and what I saw next made me scream bloody murder. The evil woman stepped behind Evie and took a large knife, driving it across her throat. Evie kept her eyes on me the entire time, tears rushing down her cheek as she grabbed her neck to stop the blood. Slowly I watched as life left her eyes and she fell to the ground.

Evie was dead.

I couldn't save her; I broke my promise.

I couldn't save her just like I couldn't save Payton. I was weak, no matter what Payton said about me before, I was a weak. I promised her I would save her and get her out, and here we were. Her body laying lifeless on the ground while I was being pulled away until I could no longer see her.

I'm sorry Evie.
