Anne froze with fear, her eyes widened for a split second but it returned to normal.
This man wasn’t joking, he looked ready to kill her the moment the word ‘no’ cross her lips.
Her fore finger slightly trembled on the trigger, the last time her finger trembled on a trigger was when she was 12.
Then she just started learning how to shoot but it’s different this time.
She’s 25, and standing right in front of her is the man she was sent to kill.
He was literally her stepping stone to get her revenge.
She swallowed slowly and the man suddenly took a step closer, almost immediately, gunshots echoed through the alley as she fired several shots at him, each bullet tore through the air aimed at his head but when they were few inches away from him, they ricocheted off him as though he had some invisible wall in front of him.
She fired a few more shots as he got closer but each bullet flew left and right, one bullet skimmed past his shoulder but never touched him, regardless, he kept approaching her.
The gun soon became empty and as she pulled the trigger several times again, clicking sounds echoed.
She looked at the gun in disbelief and threw it away then quickly pulled out thr knife strapped to her other thigh.
She gripped the knife at the hilt and took a firm stance .
Though she was scared but she refused to let this man know he was getting to her.
She wasn’t even sure if she should call him a man anymore.
She had seen bullets bounce off him merely few seconds ago.
She gritted her teeth as he approached.
She kept her distance away from him by taking a few steps back the more he approached.
“Why are you moving away?. You were bold enough to shoot at me a minute ago weren’t you?” Anne knew he was mocking her but that was the least of her concern.
Right now she was looking for an opening so she could put her knife to good use.
“Why aren’t you responding?. Cat got your tongue? . I know you’re scared….whatever act of bravery you’re putting on isn’t fooling anyone” He was getting really close to her , she was out of steps.
Her back was already touching the wall.
Anne looked like a cat backed into a corner.
She had come to this place feeling like a predator but now she absolutely was the prey here!.
How do you kill a man that even bullets are scared off?.
Anne wondered if her boss really send her on a mission or a one way trip to hell.
She didn’t have any time to think because he was right in front of her.
She swung the knife with precise movement but it was slapped out of her hand.
Before she could process what just happened, his gloved fingers wrapped around her neck, pinning her to the wall.
She gasped out air and her heart pounded hard against her ribs.
She never even got the chance to strike this man.
His hand slightly pressed against her windpipe, she felt her breath diminish till her face slowly changed colour.
Anne clawed at his hands and tried prying his fingers off her neck but it was futile.
“You’ve tested my patience enough kitten. I’ll ask you one last time, do you accept my offer ?. Your life is in my palm so you better choose wisely” His husky voice rang in her head as he spoke.
His gray eyes pinned her to the wall with the way he stared at her with such intensity.
He reduced the pressure on her windpipe, Anne immediately took in a huge breath through her mouth but she began choking.
She calmed down after a few minutes and the damned man still had her pinned to a wall by the neck.
She looked into his emotionless gray eyes which seems to gleam beneath the night light.
Human life clearly meant nothing to this crazy man.
If she declined him right now, he really was going to snuff the life out of her.
Anne began thinking of all her life choices that led to this point where she had no choice.
“Fine” The words came out weakly.
She sounded defeated.
She hated scenarios where she had no choice.
“Be specific kitten. Do you want your head crushed like a watermelon, or do you agree with me?..” That sinister smirk was back to his lips as he spouted out his question.
Anne knew she couldn’t die now, the only wise option would be to agree with him.
She would make sure to find a way to kill him before the month ran out because there was something odd about the way he spoke, he sounded like he would kill her as soon as she fulfills all his task.
He also sounded really convincing like he was luring her to commit a sin.
If you can’t beat them, joining them is the best way to go.
Anne concluded in a thoughts.
“I’ll..… I agree with your offer ” Immediately the words crossed her lips, the gloved fingers around her neck was gone.
Her hands went around her neck as she panted, her heart trembled with immense amount of relief.
She was this close to becoming a fourth body in the dumpster.
Daemon stared at her with those beautiful but cold gray eyes, the wind slightly moved a few stands of his silver and black hair.
His hands went back into his pocket, staring down on Anne.
She looked exactly like the woman who had damned him to hell but he had made sure he killed her.
So that means the woman in red standing before him is definitely her reincarnation.
To think they would send the woman he had been searching for right into his hands.
I finally found you kitten, no one can save you from me now.
