Scarred Hands by oluna15

Years have fallen away like petals from a dying rose, yet the roots of the past refuse to wither. Grayson fought relentlessly to seal the door on his past, leaving only the scars etched into his skin-marks of a battle long endured, of a warrior forged in suffering. Scars he wished had never been carved into him, yet ones he had no choice but to bear. The abuse, the pain, all buried deep beneath the weight of time, cemented alongside Charlie's grave. But the past is never truly silent. When Grayson crosses paths with a ghost from his childhood torment, the door he fought so hard to lock swings open, unleashing memories long suppressed. His first instinct is to run-to flee as he always has. Yet, with the weight of responsibility on his shoulders and a young boy looking up to him, escape is no longer an option. This time, vengeance calls his name. It stands against everything he's been taught, everything he's tried to become. All in the name of peace-true peace-that eluded him since he was three. How far will he go to claim it? Would he break his family's trust and become the killer he was meant to be?
