Demon

chapter 44

"you watch my back and I'll watch yours" Callum said as the two got ready to go find Damon.
"Understood" Clara replied.
"And we both watch Damon's. If we tell you to leave. You leave. Don't hesitate. Just run."

"You're making it sound really bad, should we have called for back up" Clara worried.

"We're having quite a few issues with who to trust so no. This is too sensitive. And before you think yourself to be special, you haven't been around long enough to be a suspect of all the issues and shit like that" he explained.

"Okay".

The two left the car and went to the old train station, Callum was tracking Damon's phone so they knew where they were going. Eventually the two stood behind a pillar watching Damon look around as he called a name "Alexia"

"Isn't that the one who's in prison" Clara asked.

Callum nodded "he's being careful. Doesn't want to give away any information if they don't already know it like a name"

"A quick Google search though should provide Stephanie with a name" Clara countered.

"True but how would Stephanie know which sister he actually likes. It's not common knowledge she's in prison " Callum replied.

As they continued to watch, wanting to stay hidden if there was a ambush.

There wasn't an ambush but Stephanie herself did appear. She looked at Damon with a grin
"I'll get my hands on your precious Alexia soon" she said.

"Be my guest" Damon muttered.

"So you finally show yourself. It's really tiresome you know" he added so she could hear.

"Now what's going to happen is you and I will fight, your sister will see you and  she'll help me, she will realise you're in the Mafia and she will come with me fearing you" Stephanie said.

Damon laughed. It was amusing how little she actually knew.

He pulled out his gun and pointed it at her but hesitated as all the years they spent together came back to him. "See I knew you couldn't do it. I came wondering if you had it in you to kill me" she mocked and then several men appeared all with guns.

"Fuck you" Damon snarled and shot her. He told himself he missed but deep down he knew why he had only shot her in the leg. He wasn't strong enough to kill her.

The men were about to attack when Callum and Clara made their presence known by shooting a few of them.

Damon turned and glared at Callum, his glare turned more deadlier when he saw Clara "why the hell did you bring her" he snapped.

"Back up" Callum shrugged. He knew why Damon was annoyed she was here.

And just like that, the three of them were in another shoot out. "Who's the new slut Damon?" Stephanie called out.

"New would imply there was an old one, and since your his ex....well I'll let you connect the dots" Clara called out.

"Oh my god. I love her" Callum exclaimed.

Damon had a smile on his face too as he watched Clara. "You bitch" Stephanie shrieked and went to shoot Clara. Her wound made her actions slower but Damon knew the moment she called Clara a bitch what would happen by Stephanie's facial expression. So he did what he seemed to be doing far too much. Saving people from bullets.
He didn't have much time to pull her away so he simply dove on her, she fell to the floor but he put one hand under her head so her head wouldn't hit the ground.
"We really have to stop these shoot outs" she muttered making Damon smirk.

"I think you secretly love them. You are going a bit red all of a sudden" Damon teased.
"Guys you do realise there are people shooting at us still" Callum said rolling his eyes.

"Yes" they both replied in unison, neither moved but Damon shot his gun to the left killing several men and Clara shot her gun to the right, killing a few of them, she was still on the ground and Damon still on top of her.

Callum rolled his eyes as he finished killing the few men he had left to kill.

"Excuse me a moment" Damon said once all the men were dead. He got up and walked towards Stephanie who was trying to get away.  "Goodbye Steph" he whispered and shot her between the eyes.

Stephanie was gone.

She wasn't even worth the effort of a painful death.

"Fuck. Damon are you okay" Callum asked.

"I'm fine. Take her back. I'm going on a drive" Damon replied.

"Well I need to clean this up I'll call a few men to do it. Maybe you could take Clara back" he suggested not wanting Damon to be alone.

"No" Damon replied and walked away.

"Go with him Clara. I know he said he wants to be alone but he might be a little reckless alone"  Callum said.

Clara nodded. She didn't realise how she just went after him without a second thought.

"Fuck sake. Stop following me" Damon snapped as he headed towards his car.

"No" she replied.

"Just leave Clara. I don't need you right now" he snapped.

"Damon please don't be like this" she tried a different approach.

"I'm your boss not your friend. You don't call me by my name" he snapped. He was  shutting her out. Just like he shut everyone out when he dealt with her.

Instead of getting offended or listening to him, she quickly got in his car when he unlocked it.

Damon didn't say a word after he got in. Instead he just drove, faster and faster. Clara was regretting everything.

A little shorter than usual. I feel like this chapter was kind of a let down and I'm dissapointed in it myself,  Stephanie is now dead and it was too quick but to progress I needed to get rid of her.

Also in case you didn't notice. He was hesitant and even then he only shot her in the leg but when she tried to kill Clara, he was no longer hesitant.
