Scaramouche

  Scaramouche, that name.  What emotion does it give you?  This thought, this feeling, though he was standing in front of you his eyes deep with intent to kill.  You want to fix this broken doll, mend his wounds and save him from the path he's chosen.  The power he holds, it's full of rage and pain.
  "Why are you here, why did you join them!"  You shout out desperately.  He clearly overpowers you, and his cocky grin and dull eyes say he will show no mercy.  He snickers tipping his hat in a taunting manner.
  "What?  A nobody talking to me like I'm a child?  Do you think you can manipulate me too?  I suppose that means I should teach you a lesson.  I will show you I'm not a puppet."  He replies in a confident matter-of-fact tone.  You can tell this comes from a place of rage and insecurity.  He holds his hand to you the power overwhelming.  "Do you know who I am?  I'm going to be the last thing you see so you should know my name huh?  It's Scaramouche."  He stares his grin completely dropped and he punches you with sudden force.  "SAY MY NAME!"  He yells as you fall to the ground completely frozen with shock.
  "S-Scara...mouche..."  You obey without thinking wiping the blood from your mouth.  This amuses him. 
"Haha... see that?  Now you're my puppet..."  He snickers elegantly wiping your blood from his hand.  His violet eyes trail away the smile dropping.  You tremble hesitant to stand, your gentle hand grasping a dull sword.  You couldn't hurt someone even if you had the power to do so. 
  "Why are you doing this..."  You choke out, he turns back to you, a glimpse of pity in his eyes. 
  "You remind me of myself.  Before I stopped being such a child."  You tear up at the thought of a young boy taking such beatings due to weakness.  He looks at you with disgust, "Why are you crying..?  I haven't even beat you badly yet."  But you couldn't stop, the tears run down your cheeks as you desperately try to wipe them away.  You feel embarrassed at this show of weakness.  He looks perplexed, his rough demeanor slowly fading. 
  "What the hell is this... why are you crying."  He mumbles.  He watches intently with a mild frown, Scaramouche kneels in front of you staring. 
  "They hurt you didn't they..."  You choke out through tears, his eyes widen and he grabs the collar of your shirt standing.  He stares hostility radiating from him.  His mouth twitches and he drops you quickly turning away.
  "Leave before I decide I want you dead."  He says in a calm confident tone and tips his hat to cover his eyes as he walks away.  You stare trembling your body telling you to run, but your mind wants you to follow him.
