Ever since he was a child, Robert has never liked his family's business, but neglecting his family's legacy has never been an option-as the only way out is through or by death. 

On one of his missions for a client, he broke the major rule of being a bounty hunter, which is; never get attached to your victim, and as a result he spares her life but unknown to him-he was subjecting her to a fate worse than death. 

On finding out about the pitiful predicament of the girl he saved, he's determined to hunt down his family who turned out to be responsible. 

Now he's forced to be the very person he didn't want to become, a bounty hunter. But for this hunt, his price would be a girl-that's if he's fast enough to save her. 




Prompt 58 of ONC: In a world where family business means being a bounty hunter, you're not really keen to be part of it.

The Hound

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
