Scars

Scars: sometimes they itch and bring memories back

"Wake up Billy" chimed in Billy's ears as the sweet metallic smell of blood mixed with cheap cologne hit him like a ton of bricks.

Billy slowly opened his eyes and immediately wished he hadn't because in front of him stood the devil himself, Neil fucking Hargrove, the sperm donor that helped bring him into this world.

"Hello son," Neil said, kneeling down next to Billy.

"Where am I Neil?" Billy said, groaning as he tried to move.

Placing a hand on Billy's arm Neil said "don't try to move. The sleeping drug I gave you was quite strong but you're used to that right? I mean that red headed sister of yours rammed a needle into you with the same thing".

Billy tried to hide the sudden fear he felt but couldn't.

"Now there's the pussy ass son I know," Neil said with a laugh.

Something howled in the distance.

"Hear that Billy boy they are hungry and you are a tasty meal for them seeing how weak and pathetic you are.

Now you have an amazing opportunity waiting for you.

See an old friend, Doctor Martin Brenner, wants you to help his son fulfill his destiny.

It means you must die but if it's for a man whose actually a man it's worth it don't you think" Neil said with a chuckle.

The wild look in Neil's eyes told him this was no joke. He planned on killing him or letting whatever was out in the darkness do it for him.

"Why me? If I'm so weak and goddamn useless why would they choose me?" Billy growled once again trying to hide the fear engulfing his whole body.

The calm demeanor Neil had been fronting suddenly melted away and his eyes danced with the look between an excited child and a deranged serial killer.

"Come on Billy boy find that anger. It's always been your friend, hasn't it? Let it flourish. Let it grow. Become the monster you know you have always been" Neil taunted as he wrapped a hand around Billy's throat.

As Billy tried to pry Neil's fingers from his throat his hand brushed over a scar he had forgotten he had on his upper right arm and suddenly his head hurt and the world went dark.

When he opened them he was standing in a room. He didn't remember the room but it felt familiar.

The door to the room opened and an older man with silver hair entered along with a younger man with bright blue eyes and brown hair.

They walked right past Billy and that made him turn around and there he saw a younger him.

"Daddy," the young Billy said as he wrapped his arms around the younger man.

"Hello Billy boy, I've missed you but Doctor Brenner says that you have been doing very well with your training exercises," the young man said, putting his hand on the boy's head.

"I am. Look at this cool scar I have from a fight with one of the other boys" the boy said excitedly.

The young man looked at him and asked "Why did you fight with the other boy"?

"He started it I just finished it" the kid answered with a grin.

"Look at me Billy, even if someone picks a fight with you it doesn't mean you have to fight back. Sometimes the best way to beat your enemy is not physically but psychologically. If you had just acted like you weren't bothered and walked away the other kid would feel defeated and angry with themselves not you" the young man said and pulled the kid in for a hug.

The kid nodded and asked "Why can't I come home with you daddy," .

The man looked sadly at his son and said "Soon Billy but I've got my own training to finish and until I do Brenner is going to take good care of you".

The look the young man shot at Brenner as he said that was of a smile that showed the anger and disgust he felt on the inside for the man.

That's when someone else walked in. Someone Billy did know. Neil Hargrove.

He had assumed that the man talking to him had been Neil but it wasn't. Who was he?

Neil walked over, whispered something to Brenner and left.

The physical shiver the man got when Brenner touched his shoulder wasn't lost on anyone but the young boy.

"Time to go Henry," Brenner said quietly.

"I will see you soon Billy. I love you so much my amazing son" Henry said and as he left the room the searing pain he felt before shot through his head again.

He sat up coughing and wheezing and remembered Neil was trying to strangle him.

But he wasn't anymore.

"You won't hurt him anymore. Also Neil you can send my father a message that he will soon join you in hell" said a voice and then screams, Neil's screams.

Billy dared to look over and that's when he saw Neil being torn into pieces by ugly-looking creatures.

Then a pair of blue eyes with dirty blonde hair appeared in front of him and as strong arms wrapped around him he heard "Welcome home son".
