[ WP ] In the dead of night a young girl meets an intimidating man with severe scarring . After the confrontation the man is the one who is afraid .

I sat there on the park bench. The jail was three states over, I was truly a free man again. I threw my hands up in the air triumphantly and laughed to myself. Free. What a glorious feeling it was. I dug into my bag and pulled out the half drunken bottle of whiskey I took from the truck I hijacked. Sweet lord, I missed this. I tilted my head back and looked at the stars. I took another swig and wiped my mouth of the excess that escaped me. I closed my eyes in sheer pleasure with myself and just let myself relax as I hummed to myself. I felt the wind kick up the hot summer air and listened the crickets, frogs, and birds. This is great. 
 
 When I opened my eyes I saw that the stars were now blocked by the clouds that had come rolling in. Crap, it might rain. I need to find a place to keep dry. I stood up and took another swig. After a bit of walking I found a tunnel, it felt just a little colder here but I'd rather be a little cold than soaked. I could n't hear any of the animals any more either just the clopping of my boots echoing. Whatever. Plenty of time to enjoy that crap later. I still had my booze to enjoy. The tunnel started to feel colder so I again, took another swig. 
 
 I saw a small shadow moving in the distance. The fog from my breath hazed my view at first. I got closer, slowly, to inspect what this little thing was. As I got closer I could make out the shimmer of blonde hair. Then I saw her, a little girl no older than 10 sitting there in rags holding a beat up stuffed dinosaur. 
 
 What luck. 
 
 `` Hey there sweetheart, are you all alone in this tunnel?'' 
 
 `` Uh huh. My dad and I had an arguement and he kicked me out of my home. He out me in a bad place with bad people and I got away not too long ago.'' 
 
 `` Oh no,'' I said sweetly, `` How long ago? Do you have a mommy?'' 
 
 `` As long as I can remember. I never had a mom, just my dad.'' 
 
 `` Aw well are you cold? You got ta be cold, how bout you come snuggle up with me, I have a blanket and I can show you a fun game!'' 
 
 She looked at me for a bit meekly. `` Why do you have all those scars?'' 
 
 `` Oh well, I just got out of a bad place full of bad people too. Where I came they did n't like me very much.'' 
 
 `` Why?'' 
 
 `` Because of who I love. I love princesses like you and the bad men did n't like that. So they used to hurt me. But it's okay because now I'm not at that bad place anymore'' 
 
 `` This is a bad place,'' she said sternly. 
 
 `` Aw it's not so bad, plus we have each other. We can be warm together come on I'll show you.'' I inched closer. 
 
 `` Im used to the cold.'' 
 
 This kid is working my nerve. But I need to make sure she wo n't scream, I ai n't going back that easily. If she keeps this up I'm going to enjoy killing her probably more than I will raping her. 
 
 `` That's a bad thing to think about,'' she stared at me. 
 
 `` What did you just say?'' 
 
 `` You're thinking about raping and killing me. I heard you.'' 
 
 Shit, did I say that or think it? Wait, I definitely did n't say anything. At least I do n't think I did. Waits how does this kid even know what rape is? 
 
 `` I think you misheard me sweetly, what I meant was...'' I began. 
 
 She stood up. `` Shut up, I'm already bored with this. Your kind always think they're so clever.'' 
 
 I stared blankly at this child. A cold chill swept over me and carried down to my toes. She just stood there, staring at me. I had never felt so uneasy since my first day in jail. Her eyes seemed to go through me. 
 
 `` Jonathan Myers,'' How did she know my name?! `` Your scarred skin reflects the very nature of your scarred soul. I have come for thee...'' 
 
 What the fuck is this kid on? Is this a setup? Are the cops about to jump me? Was this all just a sting? 
 
 I hear cracking behind me. I look over my shoulder to see the concrete floor give way and sink into a swirling abyss. 
 
 `` Now you will go where there is no escape, where everlasting torment awaits.'' Her eyes glew red. `` I will rip your very soul from your hideous body and drag it down into perdition.'' Her nails grew long and sharp. `` You have been judged!'' 
 
 She lunged at me as I threw my arms up in defense I could feel her ripping the flesh from my arms and chest. Something grabbed me by the ankle. I heard a snap. I looked down to see a shackle around my ankle leading towards the abyss. The chain snapped tight as I felt it pull me closer. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. I tried grabbing anything to stop myself. Chains flew out of the abyss and latched onto my arms and remaining ankle. 
 
 `` You thought you were FREE?! YOU WILL NEVER BE FREE OF THE TERRIBLE THINGS YOU HAVE DONE! I will see to it that for all eternity your immortal soul will burn in the hellfires of Dis!'' 
 
 The chains pulled me into the air and twisted my limbs as they yanked me into the abyss. Screams were all I heard. 
 
 I woke up, sweating. Where was I? The tunnel? How... A dream. It was all just a dream. Oh god. I guess whiskey will do that to you after being sober for so long. I collected myself for a bit and chuckled to myself. God I was a real baby, I could n't believe a dream fucked with me that bad. I stretched my legs and made my way out of the tunnel. I saw a convenience store across the street outside of the park. Time to get me some smokes. I headed towards it and waited at the light. 
 
 `` I'm waiting.'' I heard a familiar voice behind me. 
 
 I turned. There she was. The little girl. 
 
 `` NOOOOOOO!!!'' I screamed. I tried to run away and tripped in the road. I never even saw the truck. And it never saw me.
