Into The Devil’s Heart

Outside, the guards were on duty when a loud gunshot was heard at the gate.

“What’s that?” One of the guards asked the other.

“I don’t know, check it out” he takes a few strides only to be shot dead.

Only then did they know what was coming, It was Dino and his men. He’s vow to revenge and that was what he’s doing.

Wendigo’s men shot back at them, but they were outnumbered. They had no choice but to run, the leader of the group quickly rushed upstairs to inform his boss but the door refused to open.

With force, he bled in and was beheld by the sight of his dead boss on the bed. He could confirm now that the scream he heard was the scream of his boss dying.

His eyes dart around the room and settle on the stained floor. There was no doubt that the murderer was inside the bath. He takes a step forward but another gunshot is heard from a close distance.

He quickly turns around and leaves, there is no need to check on a dead man, so that they can save themselves.

“Common, let’s go” he urges the other men.

“Why? Where is the boss?”

“He’s dead, let’s leave now before we all die over nothing” He quickly rushes into a room, a room that serves as an escape for them.

Dino and his men make their way upstairs and there isn’t a soul inside, they make sure to kill as many as possible.

But the feeling of revenge wasn’t there as he had yet to kill Wendigo.

“Check the rooms and fetch out that bastard!” Dino orders.

Four of his men bow and leave, heading to the four separate rooms. Three came back minutes later and gave the same feedback

“There’s no one inside, Don”, they said in unison.

Dino fumes in anger, how can he be nowhere to be found? He’s sure they didn’t leave a soul to live or pass them by.

The fourth guy pops up, coming from a distance. Dino was expecting the same response but he surprised him as he said

“Don, he is inside but…” Dino’s face brightens up,

” Let’s go” he announced and walked away not giving the guy a chance to complete his words.

They enter the room and Dino is beheld by the sight of dead Wendigo lying on the bed naked. Veins pops out from the side of his face as he turns to the guy he sent,

“Didn’t you say he is in here?” He demands.

The guy nods in affirmation head lowered, “Yes Don … but you didn’t let me finish my words. When I the room, I was shocked as well to see him dead. Seems we aren’t his only enemy” he explains to the best of his knowledge.

Dino frowns, “could it be his men killed him?” He wonders a murmur.

“It could be but we can’t be certain. With the way he is tight on the bed, I’m pretty sure he was killed when having sex” he explains.

The anger inside of Dino dies at the realization there isn’t any Wendigo to make their lives difficult anymore. The wave of satisfaction and achievement rushes through him, his lips form a smile of victory

“Let’s go and celebrate, it’s done” he announced and left the room.

He thought fighting Wendigo would be bloody but guess he was just overthinking it. It felt as though his men were out for training.

While all this was happening, Audrey was inside the bathroom on the floor trembling in fear. Her senses seem to have taken a halt to everything that was going on in her surroundings.

She stares at her bloody hands trembling uncontrollably, she shuts her eyes close, she doesn’t want to see it again.

She opened her eyes and walked to the sink to wash it off but what she saw in the mirror left her screaming.

She wasn’t the same, her dark beautiful eyes were now blood red. So many things have changed in her.

Her lashes are now longer than before, her hair has grown five inches longer and darker.

Her smooth silky body was as white as snow, it was so thought there wasn’t a trace of blood in her.

She let out a sharp scream at the sudden pain on her back, it was as though her shoulder blades were trying to pierce out of her back.

She falls to the ground, sweat dripping off her face and body. It hurts, making everything else hot.

“I-I don’t want this… Ahhhhh” Her scream this time was way more painful than the first.

Her shoulder blades tense in her back and grow bigger. A long bone emerges out of her back on both sides of the shoulder blades.

It grows longer, forming little chicken wings without feathers. As it emerged, the size of the wings grew bigger and longer, feathers were then seen growing alongside the wings.

Her wings were so big and as white as snow, they lay on the floor so beautiful giving her the heavenly aura but the darkness that comes from her makes it hard to define her origin.

She pushes herself up and stands up on her feet, her pitiful and innocent look is long gone as she stares at her reflection in the mirror.

She so way more beautiful than before, and her senses seem to have heightened. She is now able to hear voices from afar.

The memory of her unfinished business pops up in her head, she walks out of the room willing to kill them all one after the other but upon stepping out, she is surprised to see everyone lying dead on the floor.

She makes her way out of the mansion. It was dark outside, the sky void of no stars.

She flaps her wings enjoying the feeling that comes with it, and an evil smirk replaces the deadpan look on her face. She raised her head to the darkness of the sky, the burning desire to kill all those who joined hands in killing her Cannon was a hundred times more than her desire for peace.

She let out an agonizing scream and disappeared into the black sky.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
