Anastasia

Another bounty hunter

Sorry for the late update guys, hope you had a great Christmas 2019, have a wonderful new year.

When I got home I told Damon about the bounty hunter, Damon was not amused, but none the less he was happy I was safe, Anton was a brutal bounty hunter, a man that would kill anyone,  as long as he was being paid, not many bounty hunters killed women or children, they had ethics, but Anton was not one of them, he was one of the few that didn't mind killing children, even new born babies had lost their lives to him, but it begged the question,  what would drive someone to have a baby killed? What kind of enimity could one possibly have with a baby? Why would anyone hire a bounty hunter to kill a baby? So many questions but no answers.

It was Tuesday morning and Damon and I were sat at the table, I was eating and Damon was going through some files for work, suddenly my head started to hurt, like someone was stabbing me in my head over and over, I was screaming as I held my head, it lasted no more than three seconds but when it stopped I noticed something,

"I can't, wait what? What's happening?"

"What's wrong?" Damon asked

"The noise outside....." I couldn't finish my sentence as the front door flew open and a man walked in, he had shoulder length brown hair, and wore a cowboy hat, with a long black leather jacket, he pointed a bow at me, arrow at the ready "wait, don't shoot me" I commanded him, putting a hand up in front of me

"Haha silly girl, the pain you felt in your head? That was me, taking away your powers,  you have no powers, girl", no wonder the noise outside had stopped, I could no longer hear it. Dare I say it? It was peaceful.

The arrow was shot, but I saw a flash run past me, it was Damon he had caught the arrow in his hands, right in front of his face, next thing I knew they were both on the floor, fighting, without my powers I couldn't follow their movements, but I could see glimpses of both of them, one moment Damon's on top, the next, the other man is on top, neither are bleeding, and neither seem hurt,  who was winning? I had no idea.

After maybe two minutes the man was tied to a chair, there was a cloth tied around his mouth so that he couldn't take Damon's powers away, Damon was stood legs apart, arms crossed, like a bouncer outside a club, he had a smirk on his face, and the questions began,

"Why are you here?" Damon asked but the man scoffed

"What is your name?" Again nothing, my head started to hurt again, but this time it wasn't too painful, just a throb, and with it I felt my powers return. The noise outside returned and I couldn't be happier, I walked over to the two men, I looked deep into the mans eyes and commanded

"You will not kill me, you will not take away my powers, or Damon's, and neither will you hurt him" with this said I proceeded to untie him, Damon did try to stop me but I assured him it was fine.

Once untied, the man began to speak

"That's impossible, your power cut lasted less than five minutes" he shook his head in astonishment "how powerful are you?" He looked at me, searching my face as if it held the answer, I just shrugged at his rhetorical question, he looked away, he brushed a hand through his hair, and sat down in the chair he had been tied to, he seemed to be deep in thought "I will find a way to kill you, girl" he promised,  I walked over to him, I kneeled in front of him

"Why?" I asked "what have I done to hurt you?" I begged

"You killed my best friend, he was like brother to me, and you killed him" a single tear fell from his eyes, I shook my head, I stood up shaking my head

"I killed no one" I pleaded "I have never taken a life"

"LIAR" he shouted he stood from his chair so fast, the chair fell backwards, Damon was in front of me in a second, protectivly,  he needn't have bothered, the man couldn't hurt me.
