In a dark room with barely any light stands a 4 year old kid,he looks nothing special with brown eyes,with a small frame as a kid, jet black hair,slightly chubby face which looked adorable, wearing jeans and a black shirt. looking toward his father who is busy with his usual "job" as his father calls it.
There is a person in front of his father strapped to a chair whose mouth is gagged with a cloth. His father does this so the annoying screams of the person won't disturb others and father.
MC POV
it's getting late dad is usually done with most of his other "clients" by this time.Dad is doing it again, I do not know what dad likes so much in ripping nails out. I once tried to do it to a person once I asked dad I wanted to try it too so he allowed me to do it.
AN text in *text* represents thoughts
back then, I tried my best but I didn't have enough strength to pull out that person's nails, I didn't even enjoy it that much because that person was making noises even with a cloth in his mouth. I told dad to beat him too and daddy slapped him hard on the face. my daddy is the best.I don't know why daddy does this but he said this is his job.
*forget that, I want to go to my room and play hide and seek with daddy I have no other friends besides him. Dad said that people might hurt me and he only allows Uncle James to play with me but uncle James is always so busy he rarely comes to my home so I mostly play with daddy.I asked daddy where my mama is but daddy said that my mama died when I was very young* while thinking that I went to daddy.
"dad I am hungry and I wanna go back home to play hide and seek with you and eat a lot of yummy food"
dad looked back at me and smiled warmly, This smile is different from the one he makes when doing his job it seems more sweet and comfy the other one is scary.
dad said,"Jason we will go home after a little while at most 30 minutes you can go outside to the other room and play games in the meantime" I will buy you an ice cream on the way back home and we will also play hide and seek at home okay now don't disturb daddy during work.
I was excited about getting an ice cream and going back home to play hide and seek with daddy, I went outside and started playing a game on the phone he gave me to play games on, playing my usual balloon popping game.
general POV
The kid sat outside of the dark room in another room playing games while unspeakable horrors unfold in the dark room as a man was ripping out nails of another man strapped to a chair.Tears and snot were flowing on his face.
"when you joined my gang I had warned all of you to never betray me,I am kind to my members but if you betray me then you are worse than an enemy".
"I wanted to torture you more for ratting out your comrades to the police but my son is hungry I don't wanna waste any more time on you" as the man said this, he pulled out a knife from his pocket and pocked the strapped person in the eye.
blood gushed out of his eye socket as the man tried his absolute best to free himself but he couldn't no matter how much he writhed and struggled to save his.life he couldn't get himself freed.The man with the knife continued inserting the knife till the knife was half way in, it had already pierced the brain so he stopped, As the strapped man also stopped moving, most likely dead but then he inserted the knife fully anyways to make sure just in case after that he pulled out the knife and even more blood splashed onto him, no matter how unlikely, he didn't wanna leave this person alive.
This young man about 27 years old with a knife is Mercer Agustus, His hair is brown and face is heart shaped,skin white, height about 5,9 feet which is relatively taller for people around him, and his eyes dark black.His appearance gave a sense of a wild beauty.
And the kid outside is his son Jason, his wife died when giving birth to Jason, at that moment Mercer thought that his world had crumbled to pieces with nothing left, till he saw his infant son, A tsunami of emotions was ravaging him at that moment.
The grief of losing the person he loved the most and being absolutely helpless leaving a gift for him that he embraced his blood,his son.
mercer's pov
while holding my infant son in my hands I felt some warmth in my heart that had gone cold over losing Elaine."My son, your mother and I had decided to name you Jason when you were in her belly"."so your name will be Jason with my surname Agustus"."I will try my best to provide you with a normal and happy childhood. I will not keep you in dark about what I do".
*Enough of these thoughts*
I went to the washroom in the corner to take a quick shower cleaning the blood that had spilled on my body and wearing a new set of clothes.After taking a shower I went to my son who came to me with a bright smile, I picked him up.unknowingly a genuine and happy smile had crept up on my face seeing him. If it comes down to it, I am willing to burn down the whole world if it means seeing him happy.
sometimes I feel guilty about restricting him but it's for his safety and.he almost never complains about it such a precious child he is.
I took his to our car parked outside the house and then called a lower member to take care of the body in house 3, that's the house I left just now.
