This is a little series of one-shots, requested by ForeverFreeFall, about the bad experiences Ti and her friends had with the Neverseen. Hope you enjoy!

I still remember what happened there. The memories still haunt my nightmares sometimes. I close my eyes, and try to push the thoughts away. It doesn't work. If anything, the images became clearer.

The four cloaked figures surrounded me. I was five, what could they ever want with me? They started yelling at me, asking questions that I didn't know the answers to. When I cried instead of responding, they would burn me. If only I could see their faces. I could get them in trouble when my parents came to get me. They would come. They had to come.

The hours became days, days became weeks. I didn't know how long I was there. I was in a cave, deep in some obscure mountain. I had no contact with the outside world. Only the people who came and tortured me. I tried to answer their questions the best that I could, but I honestly didn't know anything. They seemed to figure this out, too. That was almost worse. I started getting burned more and more. Soon, they were talking about killing me. They had no use for me, and I had seen too much to be let free. I heard them whispering about this, and curled up. I cried myself to sleep, just like any other night. Or at least, any of the few nights I actually slept...

I woke up one morning somewhere new. I was over someone's shoulder, hog-tied, with a gag in my mouth, and blindfold over my eyes. This is it, I thought, Today is the day I die. But, I was intercepted somewhere along the way. I was thrown to the ground, and I heard grunts, and the sound of something hitting someone. They were fighting. But why? Suddenly, I was roughly picked up again, slung over a new shoulder, and they started running. I gasped when I felt sunlight on my face, and fresh air in my lungs. I was outside! The person set me down, and took my bindings off. I saw a wrinkly old human, and he looked at me. He pushed something into my hand, smiled, and went away in a flash of light.

I had been rescued.

I gasped as the memories flooded to the surface. I curled up into a fetal position and cried. I felt someone wrap their arms around me, and looked up at the concerned face of Ti. I was grateful, but I refused to show any weakness. I roughly brushed her off, and she left me, getting the message. I sobbed myself to sleep, just like all those years ago.

A/N- Wow, I think that that's probably the darkest thing I've ever written. So, there's chapter 1, everybody! Tell me what you think! Next is going to be Bilbo.
