Previously on Darkest Hour - "We have taken you to our home for your salvation." Salvation? The word ran through Dean's head like a runaway bullet that was bouncing off walls and ricocating through his brain. "Seriously?" Dean retorted with a scoff. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

He took his eyes momentarily off of Bray and only got a quick glance at Harper before a blast of pain shot through his face. "Watch your tone upon speaking to your new leader." Harper spat out angrily. Dean let out a soft groan as he began to taste blood in his mouth from the blast to his face.

"New leader? hmph give me a break." He retorted just as Strowman, the black sheep now stepped up to him and his eyes grew wide with anger. "Want an arm or leg?" He asked viciously as he cracked his knuckles. "Or some ribs or maybe even a spine perhaps?" Dean glared at Strowman with a challenging look. "Go ahead and try it." He challenged with defiance. "I dare you."

"We have brought you here to our santuary to be free." Bray said with a soft psycotic laugh. "Free from all the abuse you have suffered and your dwindelling nightmares. I can help you be free of those who torment you Dean. All you have to do is let me." Dean rolled his eyes in annoyance again. "I don't know what the fuck your talking about, but there is no way in hell I'll ever take orders from you."

"I think it's about time we teach this dog a lesson about refusing our assistance." He replied. Did he just call me a damn dog? Dean thought as a blast of fury now shot through him. Their about to find out just how dangerous I can be when I'm provoked. Bray nodded in approval as both Harper and Strowman untied the ropes binding Dean to the chair. Big mistake assholes. He thought as a mischievous grin now spread across his face.

Harper's brown eyes shifted as he held a firm grip on Dean's hand and began to twist his arm painfully causing him to cry out while attempting to kick him. Strowman however caught his leg and picked him up over his shoulders as Harper let go of his hand. Dean tried to fight out of Strowman's grip but it was no use and a blast of pain shot through his entire body like a barrage of gunfire as his back landed hard on the floor.

"Don't try and fight against us Dean, embrace us and allow us to help you." Bray said with another psycotic laugh. Dean tried to protest in response, but all he could do was gasp as he tried to force air into his lungs and the darkness was closing in tightly around him as he willed himself not to pass out. "No...fucking...way." He managed to choke out weakly and the last thing he felt was another hard punch to his face as the darkness finally took ahold of him and he passed out.

"Hunter, how could you allow this to happen?!" He cried out angrily. Triple H turned to the samoan superstar and could see anger and hatred in his eyes. "Allow what?" He asked. "Didn't you see what happened out there tonight?!" Roman roared angrily. "The Wyatt's kidnapped Dean!"

"If you want to help us find Dean," Stephanie said calmly as she looked at Roman. "Then all you have to do is one thing. One simple thing." "What's that?" Roman asked after a moment of heated silence. "Join us."

"If you join us Roman, we'll help you find Dean." "I said no." Roman said angrily. "I'll do whatever it takes to save him, but I will NOT join you. Ever."

NOW...

Chapter 3 - Loyalty

Fury and anger ran through Roman's mind and body as he stormed out of the office slaming the door on his way out. Breathing heavily with rage, he walked down the hall not wanting to be near anyone. How could this have happened? He thought over and over as the thought ran through his mind like a spin cycle. Once he was as far away from anyone as possible he let out a growl of surpressed rage and punched his hand as hard as he could against the solid concrete wall he now faced. Panting heavily and shaking with rage, he drew back his hand from the wall and immediatly could see cracks and a dent starting to form in the spot where his fist had been.

At first he didn't even notice the pain due to all the raging adrenaline that was pumping through his veins like a blazing wildfire. Pain was something Roman was used to-all wrestlers who were in the buisness were used to pain and injuries. Fighting night after night through the pain of dislocations, seperations, torn legiments, and even sometimes broken bones just to entertain people was nothing new to him, but this was serious. Dean Ambrose, his best friend had been kidnapped by the deranged psycho Wyatt family, and Roman knew he had to find him. He had to get him back before it was too late.

Who knew what kind of torment he could be putting him through at this very moment? The thought of Dean going through anymore psychological trauma was enough to make Roman go mad with rage. Dean had been through enough of having his mind screwed with due to his traumatic childhood, and Roman knew that anymore mind warping could provide more unstability for Dean and that his mind could crack and become so unhinged there would be no way of getting him back.

Roman stifled an intense growl and was about to punch his hand through the wall again but he stopped when he felt a hand on his arm and he whirled around to see Seth standing behind him and looking at him with a genuine look of concern."What the hell do you want Seth?" He asked with venomous anger deep in his voice.

"I don't need any of your fake sympathy alright? just leave me alone." "Just take it easy Roman okay? this is me your talking to remember? the Shield's architect?" Roman growled and shook his arm free of Rollins' grip. "Don't you dare bring that up. You turned your back on us, and now all of a sudden you care about Dean's safety? Pathetic Seth."

Seth's body shook as he let out a deep sigh filled with a mixture of concern and frustration. "Roman this doesn't have to be like this between us okay? I want to help you find Dean. We're still brothers remember?" Roman growled, grabbing the man by the front of his shirt, he lifted him up slammed him hard against the wall.

"Don't you ever mention that shit again!" He growled in frustration. "You lost the right to call yourself our brother when you betrayed us to join Hunter and Stephanie, so quit playing your bullshit games with my head and get the fuck out of my sight."

He let go of Seth and started to walk away when Seth grabbed the somoan man by the shoulders. "You think I'm playing Roman? Just because I'm with the authority now doesn't mean I don't care about you guys. We've been through so much together remember when were all in NXT Together? How we had to fight and climb our way to the top just to get to the WWE?" Roman nodded and replied with a dark look in his eyes, "That doesn't excuse your actions for betraying our trust in you Seth." Roman drew in a deep breath. "Besides after everything you put us through, why the hell should I even trust you now?"

A look of hurt filled Seth's eyes as he looked the tattooed man in the eye and replied, "Because I know where the Wyatts are keeping him. I know where their location is, so if you want to find him your going to have to trust me." Roman's eyes narrowed angrily at the two toned haired man. "Trust is something you earn Seth. It's not given." Seth's eyes narrowed as he nodded. "Now where exactly did Bray and his goon squad take him?"

"They have their own private location in a hidden swamp area called Fever Swamp." Seth replied. "It'll take an hour at best maybe two at the most to get there." Roman's eyes narrowed as he leaned in close to Seth and said, "You better be right about their location Rollins." "I am right Roman," The former architect replied. "Trust me."

The tattooed Samoan glared at him angrily as he replied venomously, "You turn your back on me again Seth, you won't have to worry about your carrer as the Champion anymore, because I'll break your face and kill you right where you stand got it?" Seth nodded in response and motioned for Roman to follow him. Hang on Dean. He thought drawing in a deep calming breath. This was his one and only chance. If he screwed it up, he would lose his brother forever. I'm coming for you.

Dean awoke to a blinding fury of pain flaring in his back and he let out a soft groan. "Did you learn your lesson yet?" He heard Harper's voice as he looked up to see him and Strowman both standing over him with anger and hatred brimming in their eyes. "So what exactly is it that you want with me?" Dean asked as his voice croaked with pain.

"To free you from the darkness that surrounds your mind." He heard Bray's voice and once again rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Stop trying to fight against us Dean, I just want to help free you." "Why? so I can become a psyopath like you?" Dean spat angrily. No fucking way in hell."

A swift kick from Harper to his ribs, caused him to cry out in agony as he cradled his midsection, gasping for breath through the intense pain. "How many times do I have to say watch your tone?" He spat angrily as his eyes darted wildly in rage. "Guess we'll have to teach you a harsher lesson in loyalty."

Dean shut his eyes while attempting to catch his breath as violent flashbacks of his father now ran through his mind. Sucking in a few hissing breaths of agony as he felt his torso pulse in time with each heartbeat, and as he fought against another wave of darkness that threatened to force him to pass out again, he suddenly now found himself softly mutter out the name of the one person who was on his mind. "Rachel."

TOO BE CONTINUED...Will Roman be able to find Dean in time before the Wyatt's torment him any further? Will he actually be able to trust Seth knowing full well about the possibility of once again being betrayed? Tune in to find out. Chapter 4 coming soon. Hope you enjoyed the chapter and as always please review!
