“Hey! You deal with me!” Muzin yelled and called out to the beast. “You answer to me, you freaky slime!”
It growled, cast its gaze at Muzin and lunged towards the man in full swing. Muzin managed to dodge the attack before side stepping almost as if he had danced with the devil before. He steadied his gun towards the beast’s head and let rip into the base of its neck as it growled and spun around angrily and dangerously too.
“You will not touch my daughter!” Muzin yelled atop his voice, doing his best to remain out of reach.
The Mega-Onamega growled and tried to pacify itself by touching the spot where it had been shot, but Muzin gave it no chance to do so; the man let rip another round of gunshots into its face, causing it to stagger backwards while it groaned in agony.
Approaching the beast, Muzin continued to let rip fire upon fire until it growled and sought means for escape.
“Nobody messes with my daughter!” he yelled atop his voice while he let rip the last bullet in his glock.
He squeezed hard against the trigger and felt the gun become unresponsive, while the beast groaned in pain and remained flattened on the ground without much strength to move.
Muzin sighed, slipped his hand into his pocket and mumbled. “Nora”.
Nora shifted her gaze from the beast on the floor to her father.
“I don’t know how long I can hold this thing for, but whatever happens, promise me… “, Muzin stopped halfway.
He groaned mildly and looked to his gut which was now spewing blood. Lodged into his belly was the beast’s hand while it groaned helplessly on the floor, seemingly waiting for death to come take it away. Muzin coughed out some blood and smirked gladly as he placed the last bullet into his glock’s compartment.
“Promise me you will right all wrongs created through greed in this family”, he whispered weakly. “Promise me every life lost here will count for something!”
Nora slowly got to her feet, clinging to the cards now being pressed into her chest as her eyes let down excessive tears beyond what she could spell out in words.
“Papa!” she teared up, hand stretched, but without the chance to ever touch her father again.
Muzin sucked in one last breath, placed his gun into the beast’s head and smiled. “Let’s end this!”
In one loud bang, the creature bellowed in pain, just before Muzin let rip some more as he fell towards the beast and down the hole from which it had come through. Naomi shrieked in fright, as did Nora, but their pain was about to get compounded, as the wraith was tired of playing games. It sunk its fingers hard through the door and jammed one into Naomi’s back.
Naomi cried in hurt, staggered away from the door and towards Nora.
“It burns, Nora! It burns!” she cried atop her voice.
Nora received her friend in her arms, watching her squirm in pain, looking as if she was about to die. Her heart felt numb with pain, and her eyes ceased from tearing up any longer.
“I will kill you! I will bring an end to you all!” Nora yelled atop her voice towards the door.
A gush of wind expelled from her cries and blasted hard towards the door as it tore through the wood and shoved the wraith hard and dangerously into the far wall.
“I will kill you all!” Nora yelled.
Naomi coughed and slowly crawled into a comfortable position while her back bled from the wound she sustained.
“Then you better read my fate too”, Naomi smirked weakly.
Nora shot her an ignorant look, trying hard to act as though she had no idea about what her best friend was talking about.
“You know it’s the only way to end this mayhem”, Naomi smiled.
Nora shook her head dearly; she wished there was another way… she would gladly take another way.
***
Still visibly distraught and shaken by seeing her father go down in such manner, Nora lowered her head to let down enough tears to drown her sorrows. Her face had suddenly grown pale, and her hands shook fervently while she tried desperately to keep herself from thinking about what horror awaited her father wherever he was with the dead Mega-Onamega.
“The wraith is still alive!” Naomi reminded her friend, whilst she winced in pain.
She reached her hand towards the sore spot where the wrath had jammed its claw into her and felt her world unravel with pain as it oozed of blood.
“Nora”, Naomi called in weak tone while she reached her hand for her friend.
Naomi shrugged her head but soon rose her head upon seeing her friend collapse to the ground in a rather heavy thud as her head struck the floor in the process.
“Naomi! Naomi!” Nora cried aloud, desperately trying to nudge the girl back into consciousness.
Naomi gasped back into consciousness, but with squirms as the pain jetting out from her wound only continued to grow immensely.
“Please… read my card ad let my fate be known”, she whispered in weakened tone to her friend.
Nora nodded her head and did well to wipe off some tears from her face with the back of her hand. She helped her weakened and wounded friend to her feet, slowly dragged her back to the chair, but Naomi groaned with each step taken as he wound continued to ooze of blood badly.
“I can’t… I can’t”, Naomi muttered weakly. ‘We do it here and now… on this spot”.
Nora looked at the spot her friend suggested, and it was on the floor, with some pieces of candles tossed around. She helped Naomi back to a spot on the ground, hoping she would find some comfort there, before beginning to retrieve some of the candles and placing them in a circle around them one after the other.
No sooner had she placed the fifth candle into the floor that they suddenly lit and blare out fire wildly.
“I am so sorry for all of these”, Naomi apologized with
