Chapter 8 - Burn The House Down

My name is Kyle Damian, I live with my mom Dorothy Damian, my dad passed away when I was 5 and I know my e... Mr. Borgov had come to the chilling conclusion that he would have to eliminate Kyle. Rising from his seat, he turned his back on Kyle, staring out the window to hide the disdain twisting his features. "Fine then, you can leave. I promise not to hurt anyone related to you. You have my word," he said, his voice deceptively calm.Kyle, feeling a sense of relief, stood up, ready to end the encounter peacefully. "YOU" RE REALLY GOING TO TRUST THIS MONKEY?" Raknar's voice echoed in his mind, the demon's tone filled with skepticism and trouble. Ignoring Raknar's warning, Kyle stepped toward the door, eager to put this tense confrontation behind him. As he moved, he couldn't shake the feeling of walking into a trap, but his desire for a peaceful resolution pushed him forward. With each step, he hoped that Borgov's promise held some truth, despite the demon's ominous whisperings.As Kyle reached the door, he cast a final glance back at Borgov, who remained facing the window, seemingly lost in thought. Kyle opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, the sense of unease lingering as he made his way toward the exit. His instincts told him that this was far from over, but for now, he had to trust that his decision to leave peacefully was the right one.He was escorted downstairs by two men in black suits wearing dark shades. As they approached the door, Kyle's sense of relief quickly dissipated when he noticed the men stopping. The ominous click of multiple safeties being disengaged filled the hallway, cutting through the silence like a knife. The two men in black suits, who had been so polite just moments before, now aimed their guns squarely at his chest. Additional guards emerged from the shadows, forming a tight circle around him, their cold eyes reflecting nothing but intent.Borgov's voice reverberated down the staircase, cold and cutting. "But I never mentioned you," he said, his tone dripping with a sinister amusement that sent a chill down Kyle's spine.For a split second, time seemed to stretch. Kyle's heartbeat pounded in his ears, the rush of blood and adrenaline surging through his body as the reality of the situation hit him like a freight train. He had walked straight into a trap, and now there was no turning backBorgov's voice reverberated down the hall from the top floor, firm and unyielding. "But I never mentioned you," he declared, with a sinister edge to his tone.Raknar let out a sinister chuckle in Kyle's head, sensing the violence about to unfold. Kyle was visibly shaken, and the demon seized the opportunity to tighten his grip on him.A dramatic change overtook Kyle's physical appearance. His hair blazed with a fiery orange hue, a stark contrast to the stark black of his suit. His crimson-red eyes glowed ominously through his spiky bangs, which fell dramatically to one side of his face. A malevolent smile, not entirely his own but a reflection of Raknar's dark glee, cracked across his face.Despite Kyle's desperate struggle to resist the demon's influence, Raknar's control was overpowering. As the armed men prepared to advance, a flurry of bullets erupted, creating a thick smokescreen of dust and debris. The air was filled with the deafening roar of gunfire and the acrid scent of gunpowder, further amplifying the chaos of the moment.Kyle had managed to find partial cover behind a pillar, but he was already riddled with bullets, blood seeping from his midsection and left leg. Each breath was a painful struggle, and he let out a pained cry as he struggled to remove one of the bullets embedded in his body."You really want to die that badly, kid?" Raknar's voice echoed in his mind, dripping with dark amusement."Honestly... splurt," Kyle coughed out blood, his voice weak and strained. "I don't want to die.""The world's kill or be killed, there's no in-between," Raknar sneered, the demon's presence growing more assertive. "Luckily, you have me. You won't be dying as long as I'm here... ke ke ke," Raknar's voice ended with a crackling, sinister laugh.Kyle groaned, the demon's words both a dark comfort and a chilling reminder of his dire situation. Despite the agony coursing through him, the cruel assurance of Raknar's presence was a grim anchor in the chaos of his fight for survival."Not so confident now, Kyle Damian!" Borgov shouted from a safe distance atop the stairs, his voice carrying a mix of mockery and satisfaction. His armed men had surrounded the pillar where Kyle was hiding, waiting for the signal.At Borgov's command, seven men pressed forward, their weapons drawn and ready. They approached the pillar, only to find that Kyle was no longer there.Suddenly, Raknar's influence over Kyle intensified. With a burst of raw power, Kyle, now a vessel of the demon's strength, lashed out from the shadows. His fist struck one of the guards with such force that it punched through the man's torso, using the body as a shield to block the incoming bullets. Despite some bullets managing to penetrate, they only grazed his skin, hardly causing any significant harm.As the guards' ammunition dwindled, Kyle threw the mutilated body back at them and charged forward. He unleashed a brutal beatdown on the remaining six men, dispatching them with swift, decisive strikes before they could even think of reloading their weapons.Backup arrived almost immediately—24 armed men emerged from the shadows, forming a formidable line between Kyle and Borgov. But Raknar wasn't finished yet. The demon released a surge of dark energy, causing all the lights in the room to flicker and then extinguish, plunging the space into darkness.With his enemies disoriented and firing blindly, Kyle moved with deadly precision, cutting down the attackers one by one. The chaos was palpable, the sound of gunfire and screams filling the room as Borgov's mini-army was systematically eliminated.When the lights flickered back on, the scene that greeted Borgov was one of carnage. His men lay sprawled on the floor, many mutilated and fatally wounded. Their cries of pain and terror filled the room, a sight that struck fear even into the heart of Borgov, a man who had never known fear before.Despite the terror and chaos surrounding him, Borgov's pride remained unshaken. He stood firm, his gun trained on the advancing figure of Kyle, now a monstrous embodiment of Raknar's power. With a steely resolve, Borgov refused to crumble, preparing himself for the final confrontation with the demon-driven force approaching him.Suddenly, parts of Borgov's mansion erupted into flames, the air thick with the pungent smell of smoke and burning materials. The fire alarms blared with an urgent wail, but the sprinklers, deliberately disabled, left the fire to rage unchecked. Smoke billowed and an intense orange hue bathed the room, the heat escalating as the inferno continued to spread with relentless fury.With a menacing stride, Kyle approached Borgov, who was visibly shaken and disoriented. The gun in Borgov's hand was effortlessly taken by Kyle, who wrestled it away with a grim determination. Kyle stood over Borgov, his hand steady as he aimed the gun at the man who had orchestrated so much pain and suffering. The flames crackled and roared around them, casting flickering shadows that danced across the walls, adding to the nightmarish atmosphere of the scene. The heat was suffocating, the air thick with smoke, but Kyle remained unaffected, his focus solely on the man before him.Borgov's face twisted with a mix of rage and fear. For the first time in his life, he found himself at the mercy of someone else—someone he had grossly underestimated. The weight of his own arrogance pressed down on him as he stared into Kyle's eyes, which now glowed with an unnatural, demonic light."You think you've won, boy?" Borgov spat, his voice laced with venom, even as his fear betrayed him. "You think this changes anything? You're just a puppet, a tool for that demon. When he's done with you, you'll be nothing."Kyle's hand tightened around the gun, the metal cold against his skin, but his resolve wavered for a brief moment. Borgov's words cut through the haze of power and rage, striking at the heart of Kyle's deepest fears. Was he really in control, or was he just a pawn in Raknar's game?Raknar's presence surged within him, a dark, consuming force that threatened to drown out any trace of humanity. "DON'T LET HIM WEAKEN YOU. FINISH IT," the demon's voice echoed in his mind, a command that pulsed with power and anger.Kyle's body trembled, torn between the urge to end Borgov's life and the small, flickering remnants of his conscience. His breath came in ragged gasps, his vision blurring as Raknar's influence pressed harder, trying to tip the scales in favor of bloodshed.Borgov, sensing Kyle's hesitation, took the opportunity to press on, his voice low and insidious. "You know I'm right, Kyle. He's using you, turning you into something you're not. Is this really who you want to be? A monster?"The word "monster" echoed in Kyle's mind, resonating with the part of him that was still clinging to his humanity. His hand shook, the gun wavering as he struggled to keep control. The room seemed to close in around him, the flames growing hotter, the shadows deeper, as Raknar's influence and his own guilt waged war within him."HE'S LYING! YOU'RE NOT A MONSTER; YOU'RE POWERFUL! STRONGER THAN YOU'VE EVER BEEN!" Raknar roared, his voice a tempest in Kyle's mind, pushing him to pull the trigger, to end this once and for all.Kyle gritted his teeth, sweat mingling with the blood that still seeped from his wounds. The pain was numbing, a constant reminder of the reality he was caught in—a reality where survival often meant embracing the darkness. But even as Raknar's words resonated with him, a part of Kyle resisted. He didn't want to be a monster, didn't want to lose himself completely to the demon's influence."ENOUGH OF THIS," Raknar snarled, the demon's frustration boiling over. In a sudden, violent surge of power, Raknars shadow loomed large over Borgov, an ethereal darkness merging with the flickering flames. The demon's eyes burned with a fierce, otherworldly light, mirroring the ferocity of the fire. As Kyle, now a vessel of Raknar's malevolence, pointed the gun at Borgov's head, the intensity of the moment was palpable.Thanks for reading folksssPlease like and follow, drop a comment if you enjoyed this chapter ^_____^New chapters and stories are coming!!Q1 : So I guess Borgovs dead what do you think is gonna happen next?
