Into The Devil’s Heart

“you should rest” Cannon spoke from behind, staring at the girl by the window.

“I can’t” Audrey refuses, turning around and meeting those dazzling gold eyes staring at her with concern.

Ever since last night, she has been scared of going to bed. She doesn’t want to dream, she doesn’t want to see anything related to her past.

“It keeps coming, and it scares me” Her tone was almost teary.

It wasn’t just her past she was seeing, her dreams were heading in a direction she didn’t want and the more she tried to avoid it, the more it pursued her.

“Dreams are only meant to be dreams, don’t it cloud your thoughts” Cannon caresses her arms, bringing her closer so she could rest on his chest.

“Sometimes, those dreams are there to warn us or help us prepare for the unforeseen” She mutters.

“You’ve been thinking a lot” Cannon walks her to the bed, “Sleep with me, I shall make it go away and you shall dream no more”

Audrey reluctantly follows him to bed and lay comfortably by his side making sure to rest her arms on his torso.

“What if it comes again when you leave?” Questioned Audrey. She knows he won’t stay for long, when she falls asleep he will leave and that scares her cause that’s like an open door for her nightmares to come in and break her even more.

“I’ll be here till you wake up” Cannon assures.

“Really? Don’t you have things to take care of?” Audrey wasn’t sure if she should be happy or not.

“Nothing is more important than you, ” He adds.

Audrey almost floated in the moon over his words, is he cunningly telling her he loves her or is it just her imagination?

“You make me fall for you over again” Audrey blurts shyly and forces her eyes close.

“Everything is set, we can now proceed” Aurelia informs Wendigo and Black Gun.

“How sure are you that we are not throwing our lives into the pit of hell?” Wendigo asked in a mockery tone.

“It’s better committing suicide than trusting the trash that comes off of your mouth” he snorts.

Aurelia frowns throwing him a hard glare that could choke him up. ” You see, Mr. Wendigo, I don’t remember forcing you into trusting or agreeing to my predictions and magic, and if you think this is a suicidal mission, then back off while you still can cause I assure you I might be the one to kill you even before the mission proceed” She chews on her teeth so hard that the sound of teeth clashing against the other could be heard.

” You might be surprised to know your death awaits you just outside of the door” Wendigo smirked enjoying Aurelia’s angry face.

” Or yours is now! ” Aurelia yells in anger and flings her hand upward.

Wendigo came crashing into the wall so hard that he coughed out a mouth full of blood.

This got Black Gun by surprise as he rushed to Aurelia and grabbed both her hands. He has always known them to be cats and eat but never in his second life would he have imagined that they would fight in a time like this.

“Let go!” Aurelia yells angrily, demanding to be released but Black Gun doesn’t let go.

“Calm down, please. You know just how full-mouthed he is, just ignore him” Black tries to coax the angry lady.

“Ignore him? You must be a fool for saying that. I’ve tolerated him long enough and it’s time I show him his place so he’ll never have the guts to speak trash from that useless mouth of his” she said pushing Black Gun away but no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t cause he was more than her in strength.

“Don’t let me force you, Black Gun… I said Let Go!!!!” She yells with so much authority that Black Gun stumbles two steps back. Not before anything but the wave of shock that went through his body.

“You seriously want to kill him? Fine, go ahead and kill him so we know we lost one person in the battle. Why are you hesitating? Thought you were determined to end him here and now? ” He yells at Aurelia.

” Don’t push your luck, Black Gun! ” Aurelia warns.

” Or else what? You’ll make me fly and stumble against the wall? Go on, do it maybe that’s the best way to win this fight after all” Black Gun was angry.

” We’ve all come a long way through this, and now, here we are about killing ourselves. What were the work and sleepless nights all for? Showcase or what? Go on, tell me. ” He demands in a loud voice.

” Mind your language! ” Aurelia was getting hotter with every passing second.

” I won’t, I’ve stayed quiet for a long time and I think it’s time to tell you the truth. You are a very unreasonable being, a beauty without brains. You work with your anger not with your head”

” Black Gun!! ” Aurelia yells raising her hands but holding black whatever was to be released.

” Don’t call my name in that fucking mouth of yours. How do you expect me to stop when you fueled it up? You are powerful, I know, we all know that. You are aware of how foolish he is yet you let your anger cloud your mind. What for? So we can fight to our death? No, that won’t happen. If you want to kill me included, just wait a bit longer after this mission, and then we can all kill ourselves. At least, our death will be worth it knowing our course is done” He stopped, panting in anger.

Aurelia stared at him for a long time before her gaze traveled to Wendigo on the floor who looked weak and helpless. ” Fine, I’ll wait after this mission,” she said throwing Wendigo a promising kill before walking out of the room.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The silence in the room was disrupted by Wendigo’s cracked and painful laughter, ” she’s indeed a witch” he mutters in pain.

Black Gun glared at him so hard that if one could choke with just a glare, Wendigo would have been long dead. “Your dead isn’t far from you any longer,” he informs and leaves the room.

“Even if I will die, let me at least die on top of Audrey, that will make me a happy dying man” Wendigo forces a smile as blood rolls down the side of his mouth.

Outside, Aurelia stares at the night sky as the cold breeze blowing and brushing on her smooth skin lightens up her anger.

“I suggest we cancel the mission and make it another day” Black Gun spoke as he approached her from behind and only stopped three steps away.

“No, we commence tonight” Aurelia interjects.

“Had it been you were serious you wouldn’t have put Wendigo in such a condition and yet, you expect him to fight” Black Gun knew they needed each other.

Aurelia has the power and they have the men and other types of equipment for the fight. Black Gun and his men will never be enough to face Cannon talkless of his men, so joining forces with Wendigo will give them the upper hand to give a good distraction so Aurelia can do her witch thing.

“He asked for it” Aurelia retorts.

“More of you guys talked yourselves into it, you could have just ignored, you know” he takes a step forward, buries his hands into his pants, and raises his head at the night sky.

“I’ll heal him,” Aurelia said after a long silence, turning and walking back into the mansion.

” Pray we get this over with, so I can go my way” Black Gun mutters under his breath as he stares at the night sky.

It’s been one hell of a job seeing that those two brainless beings don’t end up fighting but no matter how much he put into it, they did at the end.

” Get the men assembled and ready for tonight,” He said to the man in black standing behind.

” Yes, boss! ” Came to his response as he left.

” It’d be a bloody night, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ” He turns and walks back into the mansion, ready for their final attack.
