Mercy

Both hands balled up into fists while I jolted down the stairs, the party even rowdier than before. People hollered and the sound of shattering glass came from the kitchen. Two boys were wrapped around each other, trying to get a hit on the other. I had to jump over them. I needed to do this and nothing was going to stop me.

I whipped through the kitchen and made my way out the door into the backyard. Noah, Trinity, and Sebastien were gone. The lights that once highlighted the yard were now shut off.

Cain lay there casually, both feet on top of the orange cushion. His eyes looked amused, a ring of red wrapped around his mouth. Some of the red dripped down his neck, staining the top of his shirt.

“Where’s Sebastien?”

“The little puppy is hiding his sins from you.” With one finger, he wiped the red from his mouth and licked it off.

“Where’s Noah?” I demanded. “Tell me!”

He sat up straight, his grin revealing his pearly white teeth, reminding me of a wolf.

“Why?” he asked coyly, batting his abnormally long eyelashes.

“He hurt my friend, and I am going to make him pay for that.” My eyes scrunched down. I looked around for any indication of where they went. “Tell me,” I repeated. It was becoming harder to stay brave and stop my voice from cracking.

“You know, he could snap you like a twig.” Cain let out a deep, booming laugh that sent goosebumps shooting down my spine. “What do you think you can do about it?”

Maybe he was right. I couldn’t do much other than let Noah know what I thought about him. I could probably get at least one slap in before he stopped me.

“Mercy, Mercy, Mercy.” He jumped up from the seat and, in one swift motion, stood in front of me. “Sebastien always finds the saddest little girl in every town. He is obsessed with the pathetic puppy look.”

I took a step back from him, my heart beginning to race. “But you…” He took yet another step towards me and his tongue ran across both lips, like he was about to lunge at a trophy. “You smell different.”

At this point, he was so close to me, I could smell the bitter alcohol oozing off his breath.

My head whipped towards the kitchen, which now was blocked by a group of yelling teens. The only option I had was to run past him; I couldn’t remember just how big Trinity’s yard was but I wasn’t going to allow him to back me into a wall. In this moment, I was thankful I had worn flats instead of high heels.

My feet pushed my body past Cain, the pool blurring beside me as I felt the adrenaline boiling throughout. I felt a drop of sweat roll down my forehead. Before I knew it, I was past the couches and onto the grass. It was so dark I wasn’t sure which direction to go.

Cain’s voice echoed into the night. “I love it when they run.
