Lucifer's Hearthstone

BOOM !

The entrance door of Williams Jones secret mansion where he did his dirty deeds was blasted open. Skyler had planted a bomb on the entrance door.

She was on a mission to retrieve captured girls who were abducted by Williams Jones' men. Williams Jones was a drug dealer and a rapist.

He usually sent his men to kidnap young girls. After kidnapping them, they took them to his secret mansion, which was heavily guarded.

This has been going on for years, it always appeared on the news how young girls were missing and never to be found again.

But today was the end of Williams' evil deeds. The door which blasted open had killed the guards who stood guarding the door. Skyler had planted the bomb on the door when the guards had exchanged positions.

It was 3:00 pm in the afternoon, Skyler was dressed in. all black whenever she was out on a mission; black boots, black loose pants, a black crop top, black gloves and a black mask to hide her face.

She went into the mansion, hiding behind the pillars, moving slowly while checking her surroundings to make sure there was no one following her behind.

She got to a spiral stairs, she looked up to see guards patrolling and she pointed her gun towards them.

BANG!

BANG!!

BANG!!!

The sounds of gunshots resounded in the mansion, and just like that, the three patrolling guards fell down dead.

BANG !

A guard aimed his gun at her but it touched the railings of the stairs and she quickly hid under the stairs and reloaded her gun while keeping her eyes on alert.

“ Come out of your hiding place and I might let you go ” the guard said.

Skyler scoffed ‘ I should be the one to let you go, not you ’ she said in her mind while watching the guard who had his back facing her.

Quietly she tiptoed towards the man. Just then the man turned around to face her, she used her gun to hit his face twice.

The guard fell down on the ground with blood on his face. He had not expected the sudden attack. Skyler shot him in his chest and he died.

She picked up the guard's gun and walked up the stairs. She went to a room and kicked the door open. She got in and pointed her gun, searching inside the room to see it empty.

She searched the rooms she passed by and scruched her brows in confusion.

Where was everyone ?

“ I can't see a single person ” she said to Chris through the comms in her ear.

“ Weird, wait let me check ” Chris said while Skyler continued to check everywhere.

“ Alright, check the next room ” Chris said after a while.

Skyler moved to the next room and she drew in a long breath before opening the door and she saw two guards dragging a girl to stand on her feet.

While the other's hands and legs were bound as if they were slaves.

“ Hey motherfuckers, let her go ” Skyler said to get their attention.

When the two guards saw Skyler, they moved to get their guns. ” I wouldn't do that if I were you ” Skyler said, raising both her hands and pointing her gun at their heads.

“ Who the f*ck are you? How did you get here ” one of the guards asked.

“ I'm nobody , let her go and tell me where your f*king boss is ” Skyler said.

“ Do you think we will just..... ”

BANG !

“ Ahh ” Skyler had shot the guard's leg and the girls screamed in fear.

“ Let's go where again. Is. Your. F*cking. Boss ” Skyler made sure she said every word clearly for them to hear.

“ I won't repeat myself again ” she said.

“ We can't tell you ” the guard man said, he was already shaking in fear of being shot like his members even though he had a gun with him.

There was something about this woman who stood before them, she had this scary aura emitting from her and the way she stood her ground, not even scared of anybody or anything.

“ Last chance or I'll blow your heads off ” she said in a hard voice.

“ He... He stays.... He stays on the top floor, in the fourth room ”, the guard said in fear.

“ How am I sure you're telling me the truth ” Skyler said with raised brows.

“ It's the truth. ”

“ Good, you see it's easy ” Skyler said and shot the other guard's leg.

“ Ahhh ” he screamed in pain.

“ Shhh ” she shushed him.

“If you hurt even a single hair off of their heads, I'll slit your throats, now give it to me ” she said, stretching her hands towards them.

“ Wh... What ” they said in unison.

“ Your guns, fools ” she said and they threw their guns towards her and she picked them up.

“ Please don't leave us ” one of the girls said.

“ I'll be back ” Skyler said and left the room, going up to the top floor. She moved fast while checking her surroundings, keeping her eyes and ears on alert. Thankfully, she didn't meet anyone on her way.

She used the elevator going up to the top floor. As soon as the elevator stopped, she took a deep breath before stepping out.

“ Sky... Sky ” she heard her name through the comms in her left ear.

“ Hey ” she said, looking around her.

“ Be careful, that man is dangerous ” Chris said, he was watching her over the laptop.

“ Yeah I will ” Skyler said.

“ There are five men in the direction you're taking. Take your left, it will lead you to William's room faster ”, Chris said.

“ Thanks ” Skyler said and took her left, avoiding the five men.

Finally, she came to stand before Williams Jones' room.

‘ This is it ’ she said in her mind. Inhaling deeply, she kicked the door open.

She pointed her gun, stepping into the room. She saw him, Williams. He was sitting on a chair in his room. He had his back facing her.

Williams twirled his chair around and faced her with a smile on his face. He had his legs crossed with his fingers entwined together.

“ I should applaud you for killing my guards and blowing up my door ” he said, not even scared of the gun pointed at his head.

“ I didn't come here to talk to you ” Skyler said.

“ Then why are you here ”? Williams said.

“ I think we both know why I'm here ” Skyler said with her forefinger on the trigger of the gun.

Williams chuckled lightly. “ You want to kill me. ”

“ I'm glad you figured it out yourself ” Skyler said.

“ Do you think because you blasted my door, killed my guards, killed my men, then you can kill me that easily ” Williams said, the smile on his face fell.

“ Of course, I'm the one holding the gun here ” Skyler said.

“ Really ? What a smart woman you are ” he said.

“ Of course I'm always smart ” Skyler said proudly.

“ And a sharp mouth too, take her down ” Williams suddenly said.

Skyler hadn't noticed that there were people in the room, but before she could react, over twenty men gathered around her.

She felt a hard punch in her stomach and a kick on her leg, causing her to lose her balance and she fell to the ground writhing in pain.

They took her guns away and held her against the ground. Williams got up from his chair and walked towards her.

He crouched down in front of her and took off her face mask to see her face. He cupped her jaw with his palm “ Do you know what happens to women and girls who come here?” he said.

Skyler stared at him with anger in her eyes but then she heard Chris' voice “ Hey Sky, what's going on inside there ”, he asked, as they couldn't see what was going on inside the room.

As if hearing Chris' voice, Williams took the comms from Skyler's ear. “ This is what you use to communicate with whoever sent you hmm,” he said, and put the comms on his ear.

“ Hey Sky, are you there ” he heard Chris' voice.

“ You must be the one who sent her right ” Williams said with, a smirk in his face.

“ Don't you dare lay a single finger on her ”, Chris said angrily.

“ Oh really ” Williams said and grabbed Skyler's hair violently and she screamed in pain.

“ How about that? ” Williams said.

“ You've just made a big mistake. Wait for me ”, Chris said.

“ I'll be waiting for you ” Williams said and smashed the comms.

“ Take her away and lock her in a room ”, Williams said.

The men dragged Skyler away from the ground, taking her away. Skyler struggled to get away from their grip but all to no avail.

They had injected something into her body which made her weak. “ You'll regret this ” she said.

“ I don't think so ” Williams said as they took her away and the door closed.

“ F*ck ” Chris cursed out loud, grabbing his hair forcefully.

“ What happened ” Mr Kendricks asked.

“ They captured her ” Chris said.

“ She wasn't careful, I didn't want her to be on this mission, but she's so stubborn ”, Kendrick said.

“ I couldn't see what was going on inside the room, I thought Sky got everything under control ” Chris said.

“ What are you waiting for? Send our men over there to retrieve Skyler quickly before something bad happens to her ”, Ken said.

“ On it ” Chris said, and left the office immediately.

Skyler was kept in a room separated from the other girls, she was chained to a bed which she laid on. She gritted her teeth in anger.

She was angry at herself for not being careful and instead of her killing Williams, he was the one who had captured her. Things didn't go well this time for her. Just as she was thinking, the door opened and Williams entered the room with two of his men.

Sitting up on the bed, Skyler glared at him but when she saw what the men carried in their hands she gulped and became scared.

“ Finally scared, huh ” Williams said as he stood before her, seeing fear in her eyes.

Skyler scooffed “ I'm not scared of you, do your worse ” she said bravely, even if she was scared, but she tried to cover it up with bravery.

“ Still talking, huh ” he said, cupping Skyler's jaw.

“ Of course, what is my mouth for ? ”

“ You're really a beautiful girl, I feel bad if I killed you and wasted your beauty ” he said, touching Skyler's lips.

But Skyler bit his thumb hard till she could taste his blood.

“ Ahhhh ”

Williams screamed and slapped her hard across the face “ You b*tch , you dared to bite me ” he said, angry glaring at Skyler.

“ I'd love to do it again ” Skyler said with a smirk with blood at the side of her lips.

“ Then this will be your last. Whip her till she faints ” Williams said, stepping back for the two men to come forward with whips in their hands.

They started flogging Skyler all over her body, leaving red marks on her skin and she screamed and cried out. They flogged her till she could no longer scream again.

And then darkness took over her. The last thing she heard was Williams talking to someone before she passed out.

“ I didn't expect to see you here so soon ”. Williams turned around to see who had opened the door with such force. He thought it was Chris, but he saw a man with blazing red eyes staring at him in anger.

“ Were you expecting me ” the red-eyed man said.
