Chapter 3
“No! This can’t be!” Wendigo spoke all of a sudden, stunning the crowd except Cannon.
“You can’t have her, the rule says the highest bidder takes her home” He spoke out. There was no way he would let him get the girl, she was his, not Cannon’s.
“Who makes those rules?” Cannon asked.
Wendigo couldn’t open his mouth, he knew it was more reasonable than to push his life to the line where it would be placed on the board, so his head would be chopped off his body.
“You make the rules!” Capo Baston said. He is the second in command.
“No!” Cannon denies, “I am the rule, and whoever goes against me faces my wrath” he gazes intensely at Wendigo, who can’t help but tremble under his domineering gaze.
“She is mine” he turns to Audrey, “right bunny?” He asked, caressing her arms.
She nodded, but that wasn’t enough.
“Say out loud, to their hearings” his voice was threatening and void of any emotion.
“Yes… I am his, I belong to him for the rest of my life” Audrey found herself saying those words even before she could process them.
“Good” Cannon was satisfied with her response.
“Black gun!” He calls out to the man in the far-right corner,
“Don Cannon!” He responded with so much respect, head bowed to the ground.
“What’s her cost?” He asked.
“Twenty B” Black Gun spoke out, shivering.
“Await my response soon, while I get my prize going” With just a gesture of his eyes, Audrey was carried as if weighed nothing as they followed him behind.
Wendigo stood to his spot, boiling in anger. There’s no way he will sit around and let Cannon take her without fighting, she is his, and he should be the one having her.
The moment he set eyes on the girl, he couldn’t bring himself to let her slip off his hands, everything about her made his body scream, yearning for her touch. He was the one who started the bidding, hoping to get the others active, so he would finish at the end, but everything went wayward when the stupid girl willingly offered herself to Cannon.
With one last glance at the Black gun, he walks away.
No one seems to respect him, but soon enough, they will all come crawling on their knees begging him to see them. Just very soon!
*In the Dark Hell Underworld*
Audrey couldn’t tell how they got here because her eyes were still blindfolded.
“Welcome to hell” she heard Cannon speak, the voice void of any emotion.
She swallows, frightened by his words.
“Wasn’t she the one who insisted on being his? Claiming to be used to the darkness, why was she being a baby rat now?
He let loose her Cloak, she blinked a couple of times to get herself adjusted to the bright light.
” How can he say hell when everywhere is this bright? Is he knotting? ” She thought to herself, blinking.
When he made mention of hell, she believed. Anyway, it’s not like she had a choice, and deep down, she was willing to go to hell, to be his servant if possible, his minions, so she would have the powers to come back for revenge.
There’s no way she’s letting her dad go, not after what he’s done to her.
Her eyes grew wide at the sight of the man before her, his beauty was out of this world.
” Is he truly the devil?” She thought to herself. She’s always heard stories of the devil being a monster and an ugly being, but, this was the opposite. More like light and dark.
“Are you, an angel? ” She found herself asking.
“Why that name, of all names?” He seemed to be angry by her question. It would be better if she addressed him with different names, not that, he hates it to the guts.
“I-i… You look like one” she said,” so beautiful” she murmured, but his hearing was supper good, nothing was left unheard.
“Tell me little bun, when you say angel, what do you mean,” he said moving closer.
She could hear her heart beating off in her chest only to, later on, stop as if she were dead.
His tilted head, which only made him super beautiful, and his huge tall figure didn’t help.
She could swear he was a god, a non-human. There’s no way he is a human.
His golden eyes staring at her left her shivering.
“Um… It means you are, um… Super beautiful” She said all of a sudden. It took her a lot, she didn’t know what to say, but thank God she came up with something.
His lips slightly lift into a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.” you ain’t that bad, either” he inhales her smell, “You smell good”
He reaches out to her neck, taking in her sweet scent as his lips find her collarbone.
She’s never been a fan of kisses and the rest, but he was different, capable of sending her to the cloud and back.
All of a sudden, her head starts spinning, hands trembling and without realizing it, She pushes him hard, almost sending him flying if not for his strength and stamina.
Her eyes blaze with fire as she stares at him as though she will rip him apart, layer by layer.
Seeing her sudden change, his lips lifted in a smile,
“Finally!” He said and laughed triumphantly.
“too bad you will end with me, in my hands” His smiling face quickly disappeared and was replaced by an ice-cold one, eyes blazing red.
The room was hotter than normal, and the number of powers leaving the two beings was capable of roasting a normal human being.
“you have no right to do that.” She spoke out, feeling angry by what he did.
Cannon didn’t budge, he buried his hands into his pocket, waiting for what she had to offer.
Just when she was about to form a shining ball in her hands, she passed out, falling to the ground.
He didn’t move, he let her hit her small self on the floor.
” What a weakling,” he grumbles, knowing he can never get into the portal without her being powerful. This only means he is to get her to know herself better.
“But, how did his touch trigger her powers all of a sudden? There can only be one reason” he thought to himself, eyes staring at the lady on the floor.
He grits his teeth, at the realization of what might have transpired.
In anger, he stumps away, leaving the girl still on the floor.
