Kwelle Mercy

Beauty begins when you decide to be yourself

Amber entered and saw a girl with white long hair and a bucket of ice cream in front of her. Gamal sat beside her giving her more sweets and candies.

"What are you doing?"

Tristan asked Gamal who tried to hide the bag no one saw him coming in with but it was too late. Tristan pulled the bag from him and wanted to take the ice cream in front of the girl but she quickly held onto it very tightly.

"Mercy."

"Come on just one cup."

She said looking at him with her cute big eyes. She had grey eyes almost matching her hair, a small face with baby fat still visible on her. She wore a purple polo romper with a black furry slippers. She looked like she would cry soon.

Amber looked at her and smirked, remembering where she had seen her.

"Mercy, the girl who helped me in bringing down the D'Almundo family. I'll need to expose her plans or change her mind."

Amber thought as her eyes and Mercy's met.

Compared to her indifferent look she always gave Amber in her past life, something was different now.

"She's angry? But why?"

Amber wondered and decided to push that aside and take her things to her room.

"Welcome back Amber."

Mercy said with a smile. Amber nodded at her also smiling.

"Thanks."

She said and continued climbing the stairs and Tristan followed after glaring at Gamal.

"Meany. Don't worry I'll treat you to a feast later. Okay?"

Gamal told Mercy who smiled and hugged his arm.

"You're so nice to me. This weekend, I'll distract Big bro so you can host that_mmm"

Gamal covered Mercy's mouth and cautiously looked upstairs to see if Tristan was coming.

....

Next week

Amber sat at Tristan's flat finally concluding on what to do in her new life.

She has been reborn at the age of nineteen. Her engagement to Tristan will be announced two weeks from now. She was in her first year of highschool but couldn't go because Tristan didn't trust her. Whenever she left was a chance to run away with her lover Frederick Douglass making Tristan and his family's trust in her to keep reducing.

But she was very determined to make that change.

She heard the door open and she turned to look. Mercy walked in holding a bag of biscuits and was eating.

Today she wore a black jumpsuit with an eared bunny hoodie. It was short sleeved exposing the wolf tattoo from her shoulder to her wrist on her right arm.

Amber couldn't help but look at it again. Even from her previous life she never got to see it because she always wore long sleeve clothes and polos.

Amber furrowed her brows realizing that she knew nothing about Mercy.

"Who are you?"

Amber wondered. Mercy paused and looked at her then walked over.

"Why are you staring at me? Have another scheme in mind?"

Mercy said with an eyebrow raised. She looked at Amber from head to toe with undisguised disgust and hatred. Amber also raised an eyebrow and stood up. She was slightly taller than Mercy and looked more imposing.

But Mercy didn't back down either. She looked Amber in her eyes and suddenly her eyes turned red and tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

She fell on the floor looking very wronged and hurt and even pale. She was so frightened that Amber was so confused to why she suddenly changed.

"What's wrong with you?"

She asked with furrowed brows. She tapped her on her shoulder and her sobs increased. Amber retreated not understanding what was happening.

Not until she felt the room temperature go down to freezing point. No one had to tell her who was behind her. She broke out in cold sweat feeling nervous but she didn't know why.

"What are you doing?!"

Gamal said through gritted teeth. He walked to Mercy and pulled her into his arms.

Slow and steady footsteps sounded behind Amber till he stood there. Towering over her line a dinosaur and a chick.

"What did she do to you? Did she hurt you?"

Gamal asked checking Mercy for any marks on her body and saw two handprints on her shoulders.

"Amber what's your problem?! She's just sixteen couldn't you ignore her or tell big bro later?"

Amber kept shaking her head in denial as she looked at Tristan who just kept staring at her as if trying to see the truth through her soul.

"I didn't...I didn't do _"

"Then how did she get these marks on herself? You're unbelievable."

Gamal interrupted Amber and lifted Mercy up, bridal style, and took her to his house not wanting to be in the same place with Amber.

Amber looked at the door and back at the man Infront of her.

"Brother I didn't do anything I swear. We were just talking and then she started crying and fell down on her own then you came in and then Gamal _"

"Who said you did anything?"

"Well... Gamal..."

Amber said looking confused.

Didn't he believe Mercy? They always supported her no matter what.

"Sometimes I think they both fell in love with her but he's really not angry?!"

Amber thought blinking her eyes in confusion. Tristan looked at the door then turned away climbing the stairs.
