Chapter 9 - Unleashed.

I was not expecting an ambush at all. After just witnessing my wife's amazing entrance, this is a serious kill joy.

I draw out my weapons. Time to put my bad boys to use.

I slide them against each other to produce an intimidating scraping sound. I sprint swiftly and knock the gun out of the man closest to me. I stab him with one of my swords and quickly pull it out. They start shooting at me. I block the incoming bullets with skilled swipes of my swords.

I hear my wife laughing crazily. Her portals are open.

She is up in the air. Her mysterious hand blades are stabbing people mercilessly. I watch her as I block bullets aimed at my direction. She is pretty cool even though it's a bit scary. She is just stabbing and slicing through them like they are nothing.

A bullet slips through my defense and I have to dodge by wheeling away.

She kills the last hit man and descends to the ground. Her demon arms return back into the portals and they disappear.

I don't go near her. Who would?

Her eyes are still glowing and she has a very weird smile of her face. I can tell that she is charged up.

She charges forward. As we emerge from the trees, we encounter more gun men. The entire place is crawling with them. They start shooting at us immediately we get spotted.

Arya charges forward.

She brings up two of her demon arms to shield her from the bullets.

I jump into the fight as well. I send heads rolling with a wave of my sword. Bodies fall with every thrust I make.

These gun men have no skills. They depend entirely on their guns for their survival. The moment they are disarmed, they are easy kills.

I move almost at the speed of light and sink my blade into the last person. I may even be qualified to become a black shadow.

As he slumps to the ground, I turn to look at my partner.

She is staring towards the mansion. I follow the direction of her gaze. Donna Garcia is holding a cellphone in a window. She had been filming everything that had been going on.

I close my eyes for a second and pray that she is not posting it. Before I can move, Arya sends her demonic arm flying across the lawn and through the window. I can hear the sound of breaking glass even from our distance.

Impressive. I rush into the building to make sure that our target is dead. Arya recoils her demon arms and runs after me. I steer clear of her. She looks extremely dangerous with that crazy look on her face. But I feel turned on in a very weird kind of way. Female assasins are rare to come by and I have been able to bag her with necromancy as a huge bonus.

As I reach the upstairs room, I find the woman laying in a river of broken glass and her own blood. There is a huge hole in her heart from where she had been stabbed. I feel sick in my stomach just by looking at it.

"We need to get rid of the bodies". I say.

Arya is staring at something else. I follow her gaze. She is looking at Garcia's phone. I pick it up. The screen is cracked and bloody. I wipe the screen on the fabric of the curtain and turn it on. It requires a finger print.

I hold the dead woman's right hand and start trying out her fingers until I find a match. It's the middle finger.

As soon as it unlocks, I see a video of us has already been posted on Instagram. I tap to watch the video. It shows when Arya was stabbing men with her demon arms. I am grateful that it does not show any of our faces even with the nightcam. I show it to Arya.

This would definitely alert the police. Clearing the dead bodies would only worsen the case. This is bad news. Very bad news. The police would know from the huge holes that using her demon hands left.

I drop the phone on the ground and smash it with my feet. Even though I know it would not do us any good, I still continue to smash it to bits.

I stop when Arya lays a hand on my arm.

"There is nothing we can do. We have to keep moving". She says.

I nod and turn to her. We just stare at each other for a moment. I lean in and kiss her. I completely forget about my plan to keep a safe distance from her.

Suddenly, I hear police sirens in the distance. The bloody woman had called the cops.

We break apart and start running. We run out through the back of the house. We run past the swimming pool and through the lawn. I jump over the barbed wire fence. She jumps over it as well. It took me five years just to master that jump! I start feeling a bit jealous until I realize that she has had twelve thousand years of experience. I am an amateur next to her.

We get in and drive out of the area. The road forces us to take a turn that goes around the property. I hit the brakes and we soar into the road. Arya empties the dust of the used power stones out the window. The precious diamond was now sparkless dust.

"Put on your seatbelt". I say to her.

She quickly slides it around her.

We take a sharp bend. We are nearing the entrance to the house. From the brightness of the area, I know that it is littered with cops.

As we get closer, my thoughts are confirmed. I peer at the scene through the window. There is a weird officer standing apart from the others. I take a closer look at him. He has a weird tattoo on his neck. I remember seeing that tattoo somewhere.

The black shadow that Arya had killed in the bunker had had the exact same tattoo.

No way!

The inspector is a black shadow?
