Into The Devil’s Heart

“We’ve been attacked, Don,” A man said as soon as he saw Cannon approaching.

Cannon didn’t look at him as he walked forward, “Indeed, you are as dumb as I imagined” A smile formed on his lips as he walked out of the building.

Wendigo was standing outside alongside the Black gun, hands crossed over his chest.

He smirks as he watches Cannon’s approaching figure, deep down, he is happy.

“You think you can defeat me? Dumbass” Cannon snorts, hands buried inside his coat.

“I hope so,” Wendigo gave a half-shrug, “Maybe alone, I can’t, but together, I’m very sure I can,” he glanced at the Black gun by his side.

“Useless mortals” The smirk on Cannon’s face was so chilly, it was as though he was mocking the stupid guys who thought they could defeat him.

“Not all mortals are as useless as you think,” Wendigo brags, he just doesn’t understand who Cannon is and what he is capable of cause if he did, he wouldn’t have been blabbing nonsense.

Cannon’s eyes dim red, and he was starting to enjoy the so-called attack they planned on him. Well, the truth is, he knew about it but let them proceed.

It’s been a long he got to fight and drink some juicy blood and this seems like it will be fun and juicy enough.

He tilts his head to the side, “you stand no chance against me, Mortal” he mocks.

Wendigo was now growing hard, unpleased by his word. “You are no god, bastard” he was furious now.

Cannon’s gaze falls on one of his men, his lips pull up in a smile, and before they can process things, He is standing right before the man in black.

His hands were covered in blood as his head came rolling down.

Both Wendigo and Black Gun were stunned, they weren’t expecting it, and it surprised them how fast he was able to move.

They have always heard rumors about him being a destroyer but never paid a hit to it until now.

“You think you can defeat me?” Cannon asked again and turned in their direction.

Wendigo trembles unconsciously, eyes wide in shock. Before he can process things, Black Gun beats him to it as he pulls out his gun and shoots directly at Cannon’s chest, aiming at his heart.

The sound of gunshot left everywhere silent, all eyes on Cannon waiting for him to fall, but he didn’t. Instead, a burst of chilling laughter erupts, consuming the silence of the night.

As though the wind heard the meaning of his laughter, it began blowing. One could tell it would be rainy soon because it was as strong as the wind that came along rain, but there was no sign of rain.

“Ignorance” Cannon mutters under his breath, “you sure can’t kill what’s far more above you, can you?” He wipes away the gunpowder dust on his dress.

Even though it was dark, Wendigo and Black Gun could see how the bullet pushed out of his body and fell to the ground and the injured area started closing up.

Fright hovers over their faces, they could swear they didn’t know they deliberately dug their graves with their hands, thinking it was the best.

Cannon raised his head back to the two, eyes blood-red in anger and bloodthirst. They both gulp down nervously.

The black gun stares at him, then the gun in his hands. It was worthless shutting, but he didn’t mind as he quickly gave orders to his minions who started shutting non-stop.

Veins popped out of Cannon’s face, he was so sought of them and wanted to end their miserable lives now, but then, he thought it wise to make them suffer.

The sudden guns shut towards him got him distracted, and as fast as lightning, he carried himself around, ripping off their hearts.

He was so fast that it got the men in black confused about where to shut, they could only see their partners falling alongside their hearts with blood oozing out of their chests.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

While their minions were fighting, Wendigo and Black Gun seized that opportunity and ran away.

Cannon’s men knew better than to fight, they all knew the rules. When their Don is on it, the least they can do is stand and watch.

Audrey was welcomed by the sight of Cannon in the Myst of dead bodies lying lifelessly on the floor. Blood dripped down his sharp claws, making them look even scarier.

He turned around and was met with her gaze, somehow, he felt scared not because of her changes but because he didn’t want her to change, he didn’t want her to stop loving him.

No matter his fears, he didn’t move. His eyes stayed glued on the lady, whose eyes never blinked either. He watches her go back to herself.

Her long shiny silver glow hair was now twilight black, her shiny flame eyes were replaced with her usual black dazzling ones and her hands no longer showed any sign of sparks.

To Audrey, she couldn’t be any less happy, seeing that he is sound and ok. Just when she was about to smile at him, a gun suit was heard all of a sudden.

No one knew where it came from and where it was as shot. Scared, Audrey’s eyes were long shut close, ready to take the bullet if it was meant for her.

And yes, the bullet was meant for her, but someone took it for theirs. It was no one else but Cannon. He held her protectively in his arms, firm yet gentle, making sure she didn’t get hurt.

Out of nowhere, fireballs came flying, burning the minions who had no brain to run and kept on wanting to fight.

Cannon was ready to let them go after he realized Wendigo and Black Gun were long guns, but they matched their luck by trying to kill his bunny.

Screams and cries could be heard in the silence of the night, but Audrey could hear nothing but the sound of her heartbeat.

She was scared, afraid she would die by then, the warm arms around her made her feel so secure and loved. She blinks a couple of times to come to an understanding of what just happened.

Furthermore, she was no fool to know he took her bullet, tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at him. Now she understands why she helplessly fell for him, his nature might be scary to death and threatening, but he is everything in one.

“Are you ok?” She muttered after finding her voice. She reached out for his jaw and caressed it.

Cannon’s lips pull up in a smile,” I should be asking you that” he pats her hair gently.

“I’m… I’m fine” Her voice was faint, and she was about to check his back to see where it got shot, but he refused and made her look at him.

He doesn’t want her to see whatever is going on behind him, knowing how scary it will be to her.

“Just kiss me, I will be fine,” He said.

Audrey didn’t argue, she plastered her lips on his and kissed him with everything she’s got. She could feel herself flooding in his kiss, his taste, and everything.

By the time she pulled away from the kiss, they were now in their room. She knew how they got there, and it wasn’t her main concern after all.

Cannon’s eyes were no longer bloodshot red, they were as gold as ever.

“Thank you” She hugs him abruptly, burying her tiny figure in his broad chest.

“Why did you leave the room? ” He asked, stroking her head.

Audrey then remembered she disobeyed him and deliberately forced her way out of the room.

She falls to the floor and goes down on her knees, head bowed to the floor. “I’m sorry, My Lord, it’s all my fault. I forcefully pushed my way out, I was worried about you and…and I couldn’t take it” she cries.

Of course, Cannon knew it. Before everything happens, he already knows it will happen. He lets Wendigo and Black Gun think they have a chance, so he will be able to trigger her powers.

He’d been trying to make her bloom again after their first encounter but nothing happened, this got him curious to know what her red button was, and he just found it.

Furthermore, he is her red button, there can never be darkness without light, and only darkness triggers light from blooming.
