The rumbling laughter from Bran was fuzzy to his sensitive ears, riddled with the high ringing through his skull. Leo hadn’t even realised he was screaming himself, hands fisted against the ground and his leg twitching in pain.
The familiar warm liquid soaked through his clothes, the copper taste lingering on his tongue. A whimpery moan escaped his lips as he ground his jaw tightly shut, tears burning his eyes. The big man suddenly swooped down, his meaty fingers winding through his locks of golden hair.
Leo gasped, his back arching in an uncomfortable position as the gun was jammed into his throat. He wheezed painfully, little black spots guarding the edge of his vision.
“Roy ain’t here to sweeten you up no more,” the man grinned, voice like a hiss in his ear. He released his head, and Leo felt his forehead smack onto the floorboards. “He shoulda just killed you. I sure as hell wouldn’t have hesitated to put a bullet in your skull.”
His boot cracked against his shoulder, and Leo felt his stomach lurching as he was hurled onto his back. His leg twisted in agony, and his face crinkled.
“I wanna know what made him keep you,” Bran huffed, reaching for the gun once more. Leo couldn’t see what he was doing through the blurriness encroaching his vision. “Roy ain’t know for keeping pretty trinkets. What, do you keep his bed warm for him?”
The boot came cracking down on the wound in his thigh, and Leo screamed. Static flew across his vision.
Bran scoffed, his brow cocking. “At least you’re entertainin’ when you’re in pain. You’ll keep us busy while the heat dies off.”
He lifted the gun to his other leg, and his finger mercilessly cracked down on the trigger. Another shock of agony exploded in his flesh, and Leo’s skull smacked against the floor as he convulsed from the sheer pressure of the bullet. A shocked scream ached in his throat.
Bran lifted his boot off the first wound, gushing with rivulets of dark, fresh blood, and let it drive into his face instead. His nose throbbed with a numb, aching pain, and he was dazily aware of the blood that had begun gushing from his nose and lip.
“Please...” He whined, copper spreading along his tongue. Bran’s lip curved into a dark smirk.
“Please?” He sneered. “I’m not Roy. Beggin’ doesn’t work on me.”
Leo blubbered in pain, his vision wavering in and out. His heart hammered as he attempted to make use of the shapes and colours around him, but his body seized violently, and he could hardly even move a finger in defence.
Bran tutted, rattling the gun. He was saying something, but Leo could hear nothing but a fuzzy ringing in his ears. He was almost glad when his eyes rolled to the back of his head, allowing him into the sweet arms of unconsciousness.
He was expecting to wake up like normal.
Sore, and scared, but cleaned up and bandaged like the aching wounds on his back. Yet, when Leo cracked open his stinging, puffy eyes, the first thing he registered was that he was still on his back, staring up at the ceiling.
When his muscles tensed automatically, a shrill pain coursed through his legs, and Leo cried out in pain. The torn flesh of his lip became aggravated, sucking in a sharp hiss through the dried blood smeared across his face.
He could still feel the wetness of the blood in his clothes and slicking the floorboards beneath him. A strangled sob caught in his throat, squinting through the blurriness in his vision desperately.
God, he couldn’t move.
The pain in his legs was agony with any little movement, and anytime he lifted his head, a horrible wave of dizziness slammed into him. The amount of blood pooling around him was sickening to even glimpse at, and Leo wasn’t sure how long Bran had left him there, bleeding out on the floor by the kitchen door and the stairs.
His body couldn’t even moisten his eyes, the overwhelming urge to cry crippling him.
There was a small shuffle from next to him, and a voice suddenly rang out.
“Oh man,” Finger sighed, his lip jutting out in annoyance. There was a hammer on his shoulder, gripping between his fingers, and a bag of long, iron nails in the other. Leo wheezed, his rattling breath picking up in a scared hitch. “I really wanted to do this while you were still asleep.”
His bottom lip wobbled as he drew closer, almost pleading with him.
“Pl...”
“Shh,” Finger smiled, and bent down to his level with an amused glint in his eyes. He straddled Leo’s waist, making his legs twitch in agony from the sudden weight. His back arched with a pained gasp, gritting his teeth together. “You were such a pretty picture before, you know.”
Leo jolted when his fingers dug into his cheeks, and squished them without a care for the dried, flaky blood, or his torn lip. He whimpered in pain, eyes fluttering shut.
Finger set the hammer down by his head, and Leo was hyper aware of its presence, chest stuttering up and down.
“I like when things squirm, but I like it a whole lot more when they’re helpless to go anywhere,” he hummed softly, opening up the bag of nails and taking one out. Leo eyed it, his stomach sinking in dread. “As a kid, I’d love to pin little bugs to my board and watch them wriggle. They just looked so cute.”
Finger took the hammer in one hand, and shifted so his knee was digging into the flesh Leo’s arm awkwardly. His entire body set alight with the instinct to thrash and kick him away, but the muscles in his legs were completely seized up, and shifting them made agony explode in his flesh.
His heart began to pound, frantic mumbling noises rising from his uncooperative lips.
“No, no, please,” he begged. “Please, don’t...”
Finger shushed him again, and when the tip of the nail prodded against the flesh of his palm, Leo’s chest jaggedly stuttered with a sob of realisation.
Maybe it was a mercy that he didn’t decide to prolong the torture longer than necessary. The hammer cracked down against the tip of nail in one heavy swoop, and it tore straight through his flesh like ripping through paper. It drove into the floorboards underneath with a bang.
Leo didn’t hear himself scream this time, but he knew that strange, fuzzy noise in his ears was being made by him. Finger was smiling softly to himself, and wasted no time between ragged breaths to do the same with his other hand.
“I would nail your feet too, but...” Finger sighed, tapping the nail lightly and teasingly, jerking in his flesh. “Looks like Bran’s got that part covered.”
A cold shudder wracked through his trembling bones, sweet soaked locks splayed out against the ground. Everything was in agony. Any little movement, every little shocked pulse hurt him. Leo heaved with aching sobs, the stinging reminder of the whips bite on his back nothing compared to the pain and the sickening feeling stirring in his stomach.
Leo’s fingers twitched, smothered in deep red blood, and Finger stepped away from him with an almost proud smile.
For a second time, his eyes rolled to the back of his head. He hated that his last coherent thought through the pain had been how badly he wanted Roy to come back.
