Author's Note: I am writing this because I am a terrible writer and I am trying to practice. I needed a break from my major projects so I thought fan fiction would be a nice way to practice. Since this is practice I would be thrilled if you could constructively tell me what worked on didn't work (if you have time for it :D ).
WARNING: these are practice snippets, please do not get too attached. Slight gore ahead.

The bite of the whip didn't hurt that much anymore. Pain has settled upon him, he had gladly excepted the distraction.

He shuttered, a sob bubbling somewhere in the back of his throat.
"Me", sharpened nails dug into the lacerations of his ribs,"I've always known you had it out for, but poor defenseless lily-"
"Stop," he pleaded.
"What was that," the beast purred, naked chest rumbling against Severus' weeping back.
"I tried to stop them, I tried to sa-"
"And you did such a good job."
"I would have never hurt her."
"Yes, you were always disgusting in your affections for her." a hand peeled away flayed skin, "but I won her in the end."
Severus screamed, rage and bitterness disappearing into the darkness mingling with the moans of the other damned, he chocked "Yet here you are!YOU'VE WON NOTHING."
The beast stilled, hands turning the man around, snarling "What, still love her?" even after she chose me, even after she died, even in this unforgiving pit!"
Severus stared in the black eyes of the beast, jaw clenching before he replied:
"Always."

Why did I hurt the lovely Severus Snape, because I am a horrible person; and for all that Severus Snape loved Lily he still did terrible things.
I imagine 'the beast' is pretty obvious in who it is; however, first person to guess right get's a story request (will follow the current format).
