“ don’t ! ” a desperate outcry, one that goes cruelly ignored as his face; devoid of makeup as he’d believed himself to be safe ( how ironic ) , is grabbed harshly and without any regard for the discomfort and pain that it caused. and not just because it was such a severe violation of his personal space , though that certainly didn’t help matters; but also because his scars were such a horrid reminder of his past, AND ONE THAT HE COULDN’T IGNORE OR WIPE AWAY ; NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE WOULD DESPERATELY TRY TO . it certainly didn’t help that, no matter how much time had passed; the scars were still so jagged, painful and poorly healed.
“ let me go ! ” he pleaded; on the verge of tears. how pathetic , especially when compared to his previous self .
“Shh, shh, shh...quiet now zombie, I’m just curious.” Victor crooned, dark eyes glinting with perverse joy as he studies Jack’s face, fingers probing at old injuries. “Look. At. These... beautiful things, really, although...”
A hand forces up Jack’s chin, fingernails digging into the scar. “You didn’t do it right, tisk tisk. No wonder they hurt. But there’s no use complaining about it now, is there?” He chuckles, clearly enjoying himself.
“What do these commemorate, Jack? And don’t cry.” It’s added as an afterthought. “It’s tiresome.”
