Sokeefe Snippets

Mercy

Let me explain again. The writing prompt was A CRUEL LADY and I ended up writing EXACTLY this. And I'm sharing it with you all <3

Luv you all, thanks for your support. Read, vote, comment, and enjoy.

(The italics are the song lyrics. Those were not part of my submission.)

I can't take anymore.

My heart clenched as I watched Keefe fall to his knees, coughing and spitting blood. His mother, Gisela, merely stood there and watched, a gleeful, cruel smile playing at her lips. 

I'm saying baby, please have mercy on me

She raised her sword again and struck him across the back. 

Take it easy on my heart

He staggered, arms limply falling to his side. His legs crumpled.

Even though you don't mean to hurt me

I could feel hot, crimson-red liquid drip down my head. Raw burns spread searing hot pain through my nerves and cries of agony slipped out my trembling lips. 

you keep tearing me apart

Keefe groaned as his mom burned his hand again and again. 

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

The smell of burning flesh filled the air and I gagged. His watery eyes connected with mine and I choked back sobs.

Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart?

 " Maybe, it's your turn again, Sophie." Gisela taunted, picking up her knife again.

Heart open testify, tell me that I'm not crazy

 Her eyes twinkled as she watched Keefe scream at her to stop.

I'm not asking for a lot

Every slash sent my body burning and my throat closing tighter and tighter.

I'm saying baby, please have mercy on me

Keefe's anguished cries echoed around the room. 

take it easy on my heart

Gisela pressed rock salt into my wounds and I hissed. Keefe whimpered.

You keep tearing me apart

would you please have mercy on me?

The blood pooled at the spot on the floor and the dark, rich liquid made me wish it was Gisela's.

I need you to set me free

Electricity zapped me again. I thrashed but the bonds held me down. Keefe wailed and begged. 

consuming all the air inside my lungs

Keefe's pleas echoed in my ear but Gisela didn't listen. 

ripping all the skin from off my bones.

He fought against the bonds on his wrists, begging her to set me free and hurt him instead.

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

I screamed again and again, the pain tearing me to pieces. Keefe's eyes were pure hatred, anguish, and anger.

I would gladly do it twice

Shards of glass cling to our skin as glass explodes. Gisela was protected but the shards cut into Keefe and my skin, stinging us. 

Consuming all the air inside my lungs

Keefe weakly stood up, staggering over to me and shielding me with his arms. Gisela smirked at us. I cried into his bare chest, as he brushed his bloody lip over my head.

ripping all the skin from off my bones

 More glass exploded but only a few shards hit me, Keefe took more of the hit. His back was cut and bruised and bloody beyond imagination. 

I'm prepared to sacrifice my life

" Please" I begged her. 

" Stop this. Leave her, take me. I'm all you ever wanted. Leave her." He insisted.

I would gladly do it twice

"No, leave us both. Please." I pleaded.

Please have mercy on me

Take it easy on my heart

Gisela didn't listen. She never did and never will.

She gave no mercy. She had no mercy. She knew no mercy.

Well...that's...I honestly don't know how or why I wrote this but okay. Tell me how you guys feel.

Bye!

Your tired author,

Iris <33
