When you see this '~~~' it means that that would be an awesome point to start listening to Ed Sheeran's 'I See Fire' soundtrack written for the new Hobbit film, The Desolation Of Smaug. You don't have to listen to it, but it just goes with this chapter. Hope you enjoy.

I stumbled down the dark, familiar country road. Flashbacks of the last time I was here echoed through my mind, making me jittery. I flinched at every rustle of a leaf, every snap of a twig; my nerves were shot through. Strangely, I wasn't scared of what Jake was up to, or even the fact that in a mere matter of minutes, I would come face to face with my childhood tormentor, and my sister's murderer. No, I wasn't scared of him. 

I was scared for this supposed 'friend' of mine he had. I couldn't help but keep picturing a burning shed. Feel the heat upon my skin, watch the embers floating in the breeze, hear the popping and groaning of burning wood, listening to someone's terrorized and agonized screams. I felt sick, but I tried to clear my mind, taking deep breaths in and out. I would not let him see me terrified, not him of all people.

I looked around me at the fields. They looked exactly the same as that night, virtually undisturbed. The trees swayed in the light breeze, I looked towards the horizon and noticed the inky black of the night slowly bleeding into a deep scarlet sunrise. I looked at the ground. Dear God, if you are truly there, please do one thing for me. You've taken so much from me, please don't take anymore. I prayed. 

I reached the clearing where it all took place, all those years ago. I saw the post where I was bound, still laying rotting in the grass. Next to it, in the same spot as the old one stood, was a newly placed post, with a rope next to it. I looked to the east, at the back of the field, where the shed once stood, to see a newly built garden shed. My stomach twisted. He's set it all up again, just how it was.

My blood boiled. Sick bastard. I wasn't afraid anymore, not in the slightest. I was angry. Scratch that, I was pissed. How dare he come back, and openly mock what happened like this? "Where are you? Show yourself coward!" I screamed, so loudly my throat burnt. There was silence. Not even the wind blew, as if the world had noticed my fury and had frozen, terrified of being on the receiving end of my wrath. I hear rustling behind me, and before I can turn around, something covers my eyes. I feel a warm breeze by my ear, and my heart starts to beat a mile a minute. 

"That isn't how you talk to your uncle, is it?" A raspy voice whispers into my ear, and chills run down my spine.

"Jake, take your hands off me." I grit. I hear a dry chuckle from behind me and clench my fists.

"From what I remember, you used to like it when I touched you. Well your sister certainly did." I grab his wrists and yank his hands off of me and then spin around, a snarl on my face. He smirks at me, showing his crooked teeth, and I can't stop myself. My fist flies out, and lands squarely on his nose. I feel a sickening crunch beneath my knuckles. Had it been anyone else, I would've been gagging at the feel, but instead I just grin with a sickening satisfaction. Jake's head snapped backwards, and blood gushed from his nose, dripping down his lips and chin, and splattering on his dirty white t-shirt.

He slowly raises a hand to his nose, and then inspects the blood on his finger tips. His eyes glance back up to me, and sends me a sadistic grin, before licking his fingers clean. I scrunch my nose in disgust. With the back of his sleeve, he mops up most of the blood, but it just keeps coming. "You know, you really will regret that." He mutters.

"I doubt it." I grin and then glare at him. "Who is it you have and where are they?" I growl.

He smiles. "See for yourself." He points behind me and I turn to see someone stood in the doorway of the shed watching us. I stumble a few steps closer, and squint. They looked short, really short. I look closer and then let out a shaky gasp as I realize who it is.
