The rats returned as they departed, slithering back into their kingdom.
As they proceeded further into the tunnel, Dane watched Cain from a distance even Nox would deem safe. His emotions had cooled considerably, replaced with gratitude even. He could not have savored the death with such spontaneous act of savagery. Dane was methodical, coordinated. He would now have the chance to enjoy Cain's demise. When and if Dane chose to bring it about.
They came to the corner. Any noise down here was amplified by stone and curved walls. Dane wondered how close the sound's origins were, and gasped when they stumbled upon a man dragging a body. Jealousy flared briefly, but the shot was fired and Dane threw his hands to his ears protectively. The noise of gunfire rang his ears with pain. Nox was thrown off balance. He barely noticed Cain's magical wall.
Nox was shot! Dane had his chance! He stalked to the wall, aching with the power in his clutches. He roared, and bound up the man with shackles of invisible bonds-ones he would never escape.
Except in death.
Dane snatched the gun from the man, stepped back and aimed it at his chest. He'd never shot a man before. This would be a new experience.
