Chapter Nineteen: Darkness Storms

Jeremy looked out of a window in the kitchen. He watched as Nick put all of their things into the car. It was pitch black dark and a wicked storm was taking place. Jeremy wasn't scared though. Being scared didn't help, so why do it? Why give Nick the satisfaction? He was a big boy now and he was ready to play like one. No matter what.

"Ready?" Nick asked running in breathlessly. He was drenched from head to toe from the furious rain outside.

"Sure, whatever." Jeremy took in a deep breath and followed Nick out into the dark. The rain was bitter and cold on his skin, but his back loved it. It felt refreshing.

"Hurry!" Nick yelled from in front of Jeremy. Even though he was yelling, the rain, wind, and thunder made it sound like a whisper.

Jeremy slammed the door shut on the car as he got in. Nick blew on his hands to warm them up. He then drove away into the storm.

"We're here." Nick announced after hours of driving. It was early morning, still dark, and still storming.

Jeremy looked at the feeble white house. It was a trash bin.

"Nice." Jeremy said sarcastically as they walked into the house. It too was already furnished like the previous one.

"I have many houses. I never know when I'll need them." Nick said seeing Jeremy's expression.

"How far are we from the Tipto-"

"That's not why we're here." Nick cut him off.

"Than why are we Nick? To make me suffer some more?" Jeremy asked.

"Nah. You've suffered alot. I have someone for you to meet." Nick smiled, leading him into the bedroom.

"His name is Daniel Ryser. He's fourteen and you'll make perfect friends." Nick.

Daniel was about 5'8, skinny, blonde hair, with a small faint scar on his left ear. He sat in the corner of the room crying.

"How long has he been here?" Jeremy asked.

"About three months. I had him locked in and came to check up while you were asleep sometimes." Nick smiled.

Jeremy gave Nick a look of disgust.

"I love you too." Nick smiled, then let it drop. "Go ahead and make friends." Nick said going into the main room.

Jeremy slowly made his way over to Daniel. He slid down the wall beside him. Thunder filled their ears,while lightning filled the room with flashes of light.

"Hi." Jeremy said.

"Who are you?" Daniel asked, sounding scared.

"My names Jeremy. I have been going through this for ten months. I've been with him for nine." Jeremy said, noticing burns on Daniel's neck. "Did he do this?" Jeremy asked running his finger over one.

Daniel flinched.

"I'm sorry." Jeremy jerked his arm back.

"That's okay, it's just, Nick, he-"

"I know Daniel. He's done it to me like thirty times." Jeremy frowned, feeling terrible for his new friend.

"I'm glad your here." Daniel said looking up for the first time.

"I'm not." Jeremy frowned.

"What do you think he'll do next?" Daniel asked, looking down again.

"I don't know. That's what scar-" Jeremy stopped noticing Nick entering the room. He undid his belt and threw it down.

"Hello boys. Who wants to go first?" He smiled.

Both Jeremy and Daniel looked hurt and scared. Why? Why was this happening to them? Jeremy realized that Daniel wasn't as used to this as he was. He put on a strong face and got up.

"I will." He said as tears fell from his eyes.

"Are you that excited?" Nick smiled.

"Your a sick son of a bitch." Daniel said from the corner.

"WHAT?" Nick screamed.

He got his belt from the floor and slammed it across Daniel's face.

"You don't EVER talk to me like that! Do you understand?" Nick screamed. Blood fell from a gash in Daniel's face.

He sat there, frozen.

A clap of thunder interrupted the long silence. Some lightning followed.

"I'll do whatever the hell I want." Daniel said crying.

Nick was furious. Jeremy had never seen him so mad. He hit him with the belt again, Daniel screamed in pain.

"Stop it! Just stop it!" Jeremy cried out. He couldn't take this anymore.

"Nick, just kill me! Get it over with! I can't do this anymore, I won't. If you don't kill me, I will." Jeremy's face was cold, yet it looked so innocent.

A/N- Thanks Rebecca, once again. I don't think people are reading because it's in the rated M section and no one see's it maybe? I can't make it T rated, I have too much violence and cussing. There's Chapter 19. If Daniel's character surprised you, don't worry. He surprised me too, but the big surprise is yet to come. I just thought of this idea today. The real Chapter 19 isn't going to get posted, this is the edited version.

The first one included Nick beating Jeremy in the woods, then raping him by a tree. I erased that and brought in Daniel, so that might happen later. Daniel is very important, and has given me a ton more ideas. Also, pay attention to him. He's not who you might think... Thanks for reviewing! Chapter 20 will be up soon!
