When I woke up I found myself dangling from my arms like a shackled animal that was freshly slaughtered and hung. My arms were tingling and burning, and it felt like that they'd come out of their sockets at any given moment. I looked around for anything to help me but nothing else was in the room but a rusty metal drain below my feet.

My chest was exposed as most of my shirt was scorched off along with parts of my own flesh ruining parts of the tattoo ink across my chest and abs. The last thing I remembered was running back towards the basement after seeing Declan's figure in the dark. There was a loud bang and the sensation of my skin burning.

My thoughts were interrupted with loud clink coming from behind me accompanied by the familiar voice of my captor. "Hello Brother" Declan said as he stood in front of me looking up at me, "hows it hangin'?" He laughed out loud. Declan had changed a lot in four years. He was no longer tall and lanky and had grown more muscle and traded in his classic fade for an army cut but those blue eyes showed me it was him under all the changes. "Looks like I wasn't the only one who made some changes" he whistled as he pulled out a switch blade from his pocket and stabbed it into my leg. I clenched my jaw as the stinging pain radiated throughout my leg up and down everywhere else. "Why don't you just kill me now since you're so eager to steal my throne" I seethed.

"And ruin all the fun I'm having?" He laughed, "I find it rather amusing seeing the almighty Leon brothers cower and run  from a little fire" he said as he pulled the knife out from my leg, "and then there's that whore you call a wife, I want you to watch as I put a bullet in her head but not before I put one in that walking abomination Zoey."

"Your problems are with me Dec, not my wife or my daughter." I roared. "Even if I take you out as long as Zoey exists she will always be the rightful heir to what I want and we can't have that now can we?" He asked as he lodged the same blade into my other leg, "You'll all die" he laughed, "in the mean time I'll have my fun and watch as your family suffers thinking you're dead" he said as he pulled out the knife and wiped my blood on what ever rags of my shirt still clung to my skin and walked out leaving me alone hanging.

I had to think of something fast.
