THEON

Thirteen years ago. "Agam

The voice of my father boomed as I stood in nothing but boxers in a forest covered with snow. Miro and I were just twelve years old, shivering to our teeth, our hands sore and bloody from hitting trees.

Miro might have hesitated a little too much because the next thing I heard was the hot lashing of my father's belt landing on his back

A scream pierced the cold, winter air as my brother fell to his knees. Miro's scared and tear-stained face turned to me and I was terrified to see his nose bleeding. I glanced at Dad and to my horror; he had his belt raised again, ready to strike. "No!" I screamed. Running ahead without thinking, Something had surged through me back then, making me push my father and he flew through the air before landing on his back a few feet away from us.

Scared that 1 might have caused a lot more trouble than necessary. I had helped Miro up and stood between him and my approaching father.

"Dad. please. Enough. Miro is having a nosebleed again."

My father's face twisted in anger. "Get out of my way, Theon!"

"Please. Dad." I shivered.

"Ten lashes for hesitating."

"Please!" A tear rolled out of my eyes, immediately freezing on my cheeks.

"Mercy is for the weak." He said, without remorse. "Ten lashes one will sleep out in the cold tonight."

I turned to look at Miro who was trying to wipe the blood from his nose with his swollen fingers.

"I'll take it!" I said. My father blinked in surprise.

"No! You will not take your brother's punishment."

"Mercy is for the weak, Dad. Don't show me any."

My father hesitated before slipping on his emotionless mask. Once again, his eyes became as cruel as the harsh winter. "Instead of lashing you. I have a fun idea." My father said, before stepping forward and handing me the belt. I stared at it, frightened and wary

"Take it" My father nudged.

Slowly but tentatively, I collected the belt from my father. By then, my hands had healed a considerable amount unlike my brother

"You get to give the rest of the lashes to your brother hitting as hard as you can or..." my father went to my bag which I brought and to my horror, brought out my white bunny. "or you give the lashes to this burny."

My twelve year old self became horrified, having to choose between my brother and my bunny. I looked at my father in disbelief and he stared down at me with no emotion. "What? You said I should show you no mercy."
