This chapter was requested by one of my friends (:
*/Set after Emerald's secret*/
Zane was Aphmau's best friend a fact he'd outwardly announced many times, a fact that make him Ein's first target.
Being mind controlled by Ein was a truly traumatising experience for Lucinda, Aphmau, and Zane, an experience only made worst by the fact that they were still aware of everything going on when under the control of the forever potions.
Zane was the first person that Ein took and he had a reason for that, Ein was jealous of how close Zane was to Aphmau, Zane disappearing would put everyone on edge, and the most sinister reason for it was in case his plan failed.
Ein knew that Aphmau was very caring and protective over her friends so taking Zane, Braking him, would hurt her.
If anyone was to ask him Zane would claim that the worst moment from the lodge was when Ein hit Aphmau and he just stood there and watched, But that wasn't true.
The things that Ein said, The things he did to him, haunted Zane, even when he was awake Ein's words rang through his head.
*YOU'RE NOT HER BUT YOU'LL DO**
**-- QUIET PEFETIC HUMAN,,DON'T FIGHT IT**
**-- YOU'RE SO WEAK, BREAKABLE**
**IF THINGS DON'T WORK OUT I THINK I'LL KEEP YOU AROUND**
Zane bolted upright, accidentally falling off his bed and hitting his head on the corner of his nightstand.
A groan escaped Zane's lips as he shield his eyes from the light flooding in from the hallway.
"Again?" Garroth's gruff yet gentle voice spoke.
"Y-Yeah" stuttered Zane as Garroth walked up to him sighing.
"Oh, Zane...your bleeding, you must have hit your head".
"I'll go get a bandaid" Laurence yawned, Zane hadn't even noticed him.
Garroth helped Zane back onto the bed, sitting next to him.
"This is the third Nightmare in a row" frowned Garroth.
"Was...did I scream again?" Zane asked admittedly embarrassed.
"Yeah, you know talking about it may help?".
"What like a therapist, Garroth you know as well as the others why that's not an option".
Zane groaned again placing three of his fingers on his now throbbing head, retracting them as they became coated with a gross, sticky, crimson liquid.
**YOU MAKE SUCH A FUN TOY ZANE~**
Ein's voice played in Zane's head.
"-Ane, Zane" Garroth's voice interrupted Zane's thoughts, silent tears staining Zane's face.
"Y-You can talk to me you know that right?" Garroth smiled sympathetically.
"I-"
"I've got the bandaid" Laurence announced sleepily as he handed it to Garroth.
Garroth wanted to scold Laurence for interrupting but knew it wasn't his fault.
"Go back to sleep love, I'll join you later" Garroth promised.
"Come 'er" Garroth yawned, failing to fight it.
"I can do it myself" Zane wined.
Garroth gave Zane a 'let me take care of you' glare but it reminded Zane of Ein's 'you're going to get punished for that' glare.
Zane quickly bowed his head to hide his fear, tilting it towards Garroth.
"There we go all patched up, now you were saying?".
**-- QUIET PEFETIC HUMAN**
"Garroth if I tell you something you can't tell Aphmau".
Although confused Garroth held out his pinky and promised.
"E-he was horrible, pure evil, he scared...scares me" Zane looked up at Garroth.
"Z-zane he's dead" Garroth frowned at how Zane referred to Ein in the present tense.
"I know that but the things he said, they repeat in my head constantly and the things he did...to me, just because he could-"
"What did he do to you?" Garroth interrupted hoping with every fibre of his being that it wasn't what he was thinking.
"I-I...h-hurt" Zane broke out into tears.
"Zane just please tell me it's not what I'm thinking" Garroth practically begged.
"I didn't want to, do...that, I couldn't stop it" Zane sobbed.
Garroth's eyes widened, he was horrified and pissed off, he tried to hold in his rage to not think of what Ein had done to HIS baby brother.
Garroth walked out into the hallway in distress trying to calm himself down so he could be there for Zane.
Before the blonde registered what he was doing Garroth's fist was inside the hallway wall.
"Garroth that better not be another door" Laurence yelled from downstairs.
Garroth removed his balled-up fist from inside the wall and turned to Zane who was sitting on his bed shocked.
"I-I'm sorry, Zane I want, to hug you can I?" Garroth requested.
"Yes," Zane nodded.
**-- YOU'RE SO WEAK, BREAKABLE, BUT YOU MAKE SUCH A FUN TOY ZANE~ ...
IF THINGS DON'T WORK OUT I THINK I'LL KEEP YOU AROUND YOU'LL BE UNDER MY CONTROL SOON**
Ein's works screamed at Zane's mind as he pulled away from the hug.
"H-he took me first for a reason...he wanted to brake me".
"You're not Broken Zane" Garroth sighed sadly.
"I am though Garroth, I'm broken, weak, I couldn't stop him from hurting me" cried Zane.
"You were under his control, he used a potion on you" Garroth tried to reason with him.
Zane slowly moved a bit further away from Garroth on the bed.
"No, I wasn't when he did that stuff when he used my body as his own personal plaything when he told me that I wasn't Aph but I'd do when he called me his toy".
Garroth pulled Zane closer making sure that Zane could pull away if he wanted.
"God all of it was before the magic came into the equation, I think he liked that I tried to fight back when I could, he was so slow with it all, and belittled me every step of the way, he said the vilest things, and God when he took L-Lucinda he'd fucking kiss me in front of her, call me all sorts and make me call him things" Zane interrupted himself not being able to keep talking as he sobbed into his brothers chest.
"Irean, I'm here for you Zane okay? anything you need" promised Garroth as he held Zane closer.
"Just...stay" Zane pleaded.
"Always BABY BROTHER".

Ein's words to Zane the night before he was forced under his control would be forever engraved in Zane's mind
