Months had passed and Freddie was now nearly a year old. Moira had struggled at first to raise him but then as time went by and with the support of friends and family she managed to raise him properly. One thing she didnt expect was starting a relationship with Cain, the same man who had nearly broken up herself and John. He had been ever so good with Freddie and loved him like he was his own. She felt guilty about the way she felt about him but knew she had to move on with her life though she would always love John.

A removal van pulled up outside wyldes farm which was unoccupied and had been for years. Moira and Cain watched from a distance as the van stopped to a halt but when she saw who it was, her eyes widened,

Standing there was a middle aged man with greying brown hair wearing a brown jacket with jeans. Standing with him was two young man good looking and tall. Moira knew who they were straight away.

Walking over to them, she said polietly,

"Hello James."

James Barton was Johns older brother but they hadnt seen each other for many years. In fact James had not long been notified about Johns death which had left him distraught and almost bitter that they didn't say goodbye.

"Hey Aunt Moira." The oldest boy Pete came over and gave his aunt a hug while the youngest Finn smiled and waved as he grabbed a box from the van.

Moira was pleased to see them all but James was quite akward around her. His wife Emma had abandoned the family many years ago and none of the Bartons liked her, John had despised her. James often thought about Emma and his boys often wondered where she was.

Ross unfortunately had turned into a trouble maker who had fallen out with his father and now was making the lives of the villagers difficult much to James emmbarrasment.

Time passed and the Bartons settled in well making friends with the villagers and as Moira and Cains relationship progressed, Adam was happy to be getting a father figure even though he didnt approve at first and even after discovering that James was his real father after a drunken mistake, The bartons remained very close.

One night, James was having a late night walk across the moors, he liked it there as it was peaceful and he could see the whole village from up above. He sat down under a tree and looked straight ahead.

He missed John terribly even though he didnt want to admit it. John had always been the perfect brother in his eyes. Even his own father had favoured him over James. None of the less, James was still grief stricken over his death and what made it more devastating was the fact that he had left behind a little baby boy that he wouldnt know. He was determined to tell Freddie all about John when he got older, he didnt trust Cain at all and believed he would lead Freddie into believing that he was his biological father.

As he headed off to leave, James had a feeling he wasnt alone. He could see at the corner of his eye that there was someone in the distance. He thought it was strange but not unusual. Perhaps Douglas Potts had gone for a late night walk too or Marlon had taken his dog for a walk.

He walked faster and then he had a feeling he was being followed. He could hear footsteps and walked faster before h started running.

"Leave me alone!" He shouted as he ran towards the farm and shut the door behind him.

Pete, who was still awake, looked at his father with raised eyebrows,

"You ok Dad?" He asked and James nodded,

"Yeah son, im fine. My imagination is playing games with me." He responded with a weak smile.

Pete shrugged and went back to bed while James turned the light off and shook all the images away in his head.

He needed to chill out.

Or did he?

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Next time, Cain and Moira get engaged and things get creepy on Butlers farm
