The BountyHunter

Prologue

Taron Hemlock was in his home in his living room hearing his wife yells of pain. Taron wife Evelyn was giving birth to there baby and he couldn't stand hearing the woman he love cry in pain

"Mr Hemlock" Taron looked up to see Grace (the midwife daughter) come down the stairs of his house "my mother wishes to speak with you"

Taron nodded and got up and followed Grace. After climbing the last step Taron saw Evelyn's pale face

"Evie!" Taron yelled almost charging into the room

"Taron! You know you can't go in there!" Taron looked down to see the midwife Angelica who was a short older woman glaring at him

"But-!"

"Evelyn does not need to hear you yelling!" Angelica yelled which made Taron nod in understanding. Angelica sighed and closed the door Evelyn was in

"Taron, how long have we known each other?" Angelica asked Taron

"My whole life. What's wrong-"

"And you know that I never would lie to you. Correct?"

"Yes I know Angelica! What is wrong with Evie!" Taron yelled annoyed and scared

"The umbilical cord is wrapped around your baby neck which is causing strain to Evelyn. It's very unlikely that they'll both survive the birth" Angelica told Taron who's face went white. Taron went down the stairs fast and ran outside his house towards the back

Once he reached the back he collapsed while crying. He didn't know how long he was crying until he heard

"Quite sad. Losing one's wife and child" Taron eyes snapped his head towards a man with long black hair. He was wearing a black suit and he had a long black and silver cane

"Who are you?" Taron asked standing up protectively which made the man chuckle

"It doesn't matter what my name is. What matters is what I can do for you Mr Hemlock" Taron was about to ask the man how he knew his name but then he stepped closer to Taron

"Your wife and baby will die if something is not done soon"

"So...you can help them?" Taron asked the man who smirked at him

"For a price" Taron then was shown a scroll but he didn't care about what the price was

"I need a-"

"Here" Taron stared shocked at the pen but he quickly signed it. After Taron signed it he ran back inside his home. The man was smirking watching Taron run inside

"See you soon Taron" the man said a red smoke surrounding his body

Taron was outside while Evelyn was giving birth, he was biting his nails when he heard

"She's haemorrhaging!" Taron stood up scared.

"He-He promised that they would be okay" Taron mumbled to himself trying to reassure himself. Taron was standing when Angelica opened the door

"Are they okay!?" Taron asked Angelica rushing towards her but Angelica face was saying something else

"Taron...Evelyn tore her birth canal and the umbilical cord somehow got tighter on the baby's neck. I'm sorry, neither of them made it" Taron stared at Angelica

"Your lying" Taron said blankly

"Taron..."

"Your LYING!" Taron yelled "my wife and baby are not dead!" The door was then opened by Grace and Taron ran inside the room. What he saw made his heart stop. Evelyn was laying on the bed motionless and pale, blood near her. Taron stared at the scene motionless

"It was a girl. Your baby was a girl Mr Hemlock" Grace said sadly

"Taron..." Angelica began but than Taron ran out of the room and out of his house. Taron ran towards the back and screamed

"Where are you! You lying bastard! You told me that they would survive!"

"I don't have control over birth Taron" Taron turned and saw the man smirking at him. Taron lunged at him but the man held up a hand making him freeze

"What...are you?" Taron asked scared

"Someone who got what he needed," The man replied. Taron then felt his whole body get hot but when it got hotter he started screaming while the man smirked

"Hello Ghostrider"
