4) He jerks me to my feet with the hand that's on my throat; I struggle to break his grip on my neck and get better footing. "Let's go see your pretty boy," he snarls. His hand loosens its grip slightly as he drags-pushes me towards the woodshed.

1] Pacing in place, I tick off the truths on my fingers. "Stefan captured, tortured. Dallas' execution. Sam killed. Mercedes' death. The ship going off course from my calculations. All. My. Fault."
