† ⋯ mercy always knew the apocalypse would come, and she knew that when it did she and her people would be saved. she had sacrificed a great deal to keep lockjaaw safe -- they all had. blood had been spilt for years upon years going back as far as she could remember to keep their town pristine and healthy. even after everything fell to the wayside. so when she heard or saw peopel rummaging through their things, mercy got a little ... defensive. " excuse me, sir. " her voice rose more than it ever did to get his attention as she clasped hands behind her back, the dagger gripped hard in one of them. " is there something i can help you with? i'd be more than happy to offer an assistance i can, but we do not take very kindly to those that take what is not offered. " even the warning in her words sounded like church bells and silvered eyes regarded the man carefully, the smile never leaving her face. he had scared some of the children who had been playing around the larder that was built out back of the church where they had been storing some fresh meat.

† ⋯ autumn was her favorite time of year. everything around them changed and made way for the new. summer had been kind to them .. mara had been kind to them. they had appeased her greatly and offered more than the usual lot. two sacrifices had been given as well as some chickens and goats. whatever it would take to keep them all safe and healthy and fed, mercy would do. and happily so. the festival was just around the corner, and she was still helping to get everything all set up for it, but she did still have to work, and she brought the plate of food to colton's table and set it down. " you're coming, right? to the festival. it would be a shame if you missed it. " her voice was soft, but full of sunshine. it shined as brightly as the smile that crossed pale features. mercy, she was the light of lockjaaw, that was for sure and once the plate was settled down, she wiped her hands on the apron around her waist.

† ⋯ they didn't get many strangers in lockjaaw, and when they did -- well, generally they didn't always leave, so when she heard the whisperings of someone who looked as if they belonged somewhere far from there it got mercy's attention. her pleasant and welcoming demeanor hid any wariness or suspicion she had as she approached from the steps of the church. " we don't get many visitors around these parts. are you lost? " a smile pulled at her lips as realization hit her and she clasped her hands behind her back. " unless you're here for the fall festival, then i would hate to tell you that you're a day early. it doesn't start until tomorrow. " her voice was soft, but her accent was almost impossibly thick.

[ STRONGARM ] for your muse to use force to make my muse do something / @bleedsin
† ⋯ ROMANS 13 : 9 THOU SHALT NOT KILL. words she was raised by. drilled into her head at every mass in the convent and now those words were being questioned in her mind. it is but for the will of GOD. if it were god telling her to do these things, would it not be a sin to disobey? she had heard the words of ' god ' since she was a child and even now the voices of an ' angel ' comes from gabriel every morning when she wakes to confess. wide silvered eyes looked up at the one person in this life she trusted ( albeit blindly ) above all else. his fingers curled almost painfully around her delicate wrist before he shoved the ornate dagger into her hand. " you were chosen by god, my mercy. " the words he spoke eased her mind as her fingers gripped metal tight enough that she could almost guarantee her hand would be cut. the body on the altar was one she didn't know -- some passerby who sought refuge in their small town but the angel had chosen him for sacrifice.
" the blood of the lamb will wash us clean. "
the words fell from her lips like a hymn and the fight in her eased as atticus urged her hand with dagger wielded and once the tip slipped past the skin it was mercy's own will that drove it home. she knew that the angel in which she heard was no angel at all, but her will would be done regardless. her whole body leaned into the effort to make sure the dagger did what was intended and soon a fine tremble began in her hands and travelled up her arms. it was a rush, that was for sure. she figured the first was always the hardest, and mercy looked up at atticus with a wanting. for approval, for praise of something well done. something -- anything to show that he was proud of her.

[ CALM ] for your muse to calm my muse down from a moment of anger / @bleedpain
† ⋯ it was not often that mercy saw elijah prone to anger or any kind of outward fits so when she heard the commotion, she was quick to respond. bible placed delicately on the pew next to her and she gathered her rosary and placed it in her pocket as she approached the door to the office within the church. " elijah? " softly spoken question rolled heavy off her tongue and she opened the door and only then saw the scattering of books and pages across the floor. his words had not registered, but she knew his demeanor. they had grown up together, after all. and without hesitation she crossed the room, her bare feet light upon cold floor. there was no fear in her, she had survived the full force of his cousin's ire before. reaching out, mercy grasped his face in her hands glad he was not much taller than she was and she made him look at her. " it's okay, eli. it's okay. " words soothing and tone soft as if she were speaking to a child ( she knew that elijah was no child, but the soothing was necessary ). thumbs swept across his cheeks and she searches his face for some kind of explanation before she drew him into a hug. " what has happened? "
