#this is probs a lil sneak peek of the next chapter

Just a lil something I wrote tonight that I’m pretty proud of:

“Please. Please let him go.”

The man hummed in slight satisfaction at the smaller man’s pleas. He seemed amused at this whole situation as he came to stand in front of where he knelt.

“Say that again.”

“What? I-”

“What did you just say? Say it again.”

“I- I said, let him go.”

“No, that’s not quite right.” He crossed his arms over his chest. “What exactly did you say?”

The realization hit him and his stomach dropped as he realized what the man wanted. He sighed, clenching his fists across his lap.

“I said, please. Please let him go.”

The man nodded and he sighed in relief, but it wasn’t enough.

“Now beg.”

“What? No- I-”

The man began to move back to his friend, flicking out his pocketknife and moving to the other side of where he hung- putting the boy between himself and the other one on the floor.

“Alright. Well, I’ll just have to continue with what I had planned then-” he threatened.

“No!” He cried. He nearly lunged himself at the man- his hands catching his weight as he nearly crashed on the floor. “Please. Please don’t- don’t hurt him anymore. There, is this what you want?” He choked back a sob, keeping his eyes focused on the man in front of him, and the boy that had already been granted so much pain. He nearly laughed. “Look, I’m on my hands and knees here. Please, just no more. Just give him a break, please.”

He waited in silence as the man stood there, his breathing getting slightly heavier as he scanned the body of the figure estrained in front of him.

“Well, only since you asked so nicely.”
