Outside the clan was quiet like a graveyard, so peaceful and calm, that only the cold breeze of the night was the only sound heared. But Inside the clan, lies the cry of agony of a man in his late 30's who's being tortured vigorously by some of the members of the clan. With the quietness outside, you can hardly suspect that someone is being tortured in the most cruelful way.
"Arrghh!!" The man screams in pains as heavy chains were used on him by the men in charge of the torturing. His face was filled with his own blood, and he was at the point of dying, but this men weren't ready to halt the chains that they were using on him, not when the order of torturing the man came from the boss himself- Axton, the mafia boss of the mob know as the Adrenaline mob.
"Isn't this getting too much?" Fallon asked. Fallon, she's a member of the clan, brown eyes, long brown curly hair, skinny and she's in her late 20's, good at fencing and archery. Archery is one of her most favorite tactics, she's knows how to use the bow and arrow very well, and that's why you won't see her, without her bow and arrows. Being good at fencing and Archery, gave her a important role in the clan. She has this baby-like innocent face, but don't underestimate her.
"This is what you get from going against the Boss" Kent gave answer to her question. Kent is also a member of the clan, and the closest to the boss. No doubt cute and good-looking, and to top it all, a lover of women, he always take advantage of his cute face to sway women over.
Being the closet to the mafia boss, he was the next in line after Axton. And unlike Axton who is cold and dangerous, Kent is carefree and cheerful. He can only turn on his dangerous side, when it is needed.
"At this rate, he's going to die" Came the voice of a female Moll. She's goes by the name Spooky. she's a bit chubby, light skinned with black eyes. And just like Fallon, she's good at fencing, but not as good as Fallon, because Fallon is an expert in the world of fencing, and that's why she's always included in the criminal activities of the clan.
"Serves him right" Braxton said. She's a friend of Spooky, and just like Fallon, Braxton is in her late 20's. Skinny, brown skin, purple eye, with a purple straight bangs hair. The colour purple is her favorite color, everything she always wear was always purple, including her long nails too. Braxton is smart, and has the tactics of finding out the location of anyone no matter where he or she was hiding.
The Man being tortured in the cruelful way ever, was tracked down by her. And having such a tremendous skills of tracking down their enemies, she too has an important role in the clan. And not to forget, she has a huge crush on the mafia boss. The Man being tortured, gave out an agonized pain again, and Fallon sighs.
"When is he coming? He has to give his final judgment on this" Fallon said, taking in her red heart-sharp lips. The torture itself was becoming unbearable to watch.
The members of the clan couldn't do anything to help him. No one has ever went against the Boss, except they were contented with life and wants to die, and he (Axton) won't hesitate to send them to the after life, he can kill a human without blinking an eye.
"Why're you feeling sorry for him? You're sounding as if you haven't killed someone before" That was Kent voice, talking to Fallon. He was still standing beside her, watching the man being tortured.
"You should know torturing isn't for me. I finish up my enemies in just a second" Fallon said. She wasn't lying in that aspect though. Fallon always get rid of her enemies before they can raise a finger.
To her, torturing is a waste of time and energy. And somehow hearing their agonizing pains, brings out the angel in her, and that's why she's feeling sorry for the man getting tortured even if he was nothing but a betrayal to the clan.
The door of the torture room opened and everyone's hearts sinks in fear as Axton enters. It was as if their hearts were being pierced with needles, just by looking at the heartless Mafia in front of them. His footsteps ignited more fear inside of them, and some of the mobsters, were trying so hard not to breath too loud, for fear of being punished.
Axton completely enters the torture room, wearing his usual dangerous cold face. His dangerous aura filled the whole place, sending fearful shiverings down the spines of the innocent mobsters. But despite his Cold and Stony face, Axton's handsome face could easily be seen.
He has Well shaped Oval face, well pointed nose, and thin lips too. His eyes had the colour of silver, making him look like a demigod. His body built biceps were killing and he has the perfect height meant for a man. And in his arms, lies a Dragon tattoo boldly drawn on it.
He was wearing an armless shirts, so his tattoo could obviously be seen. And his undercut hairstyle made him a complete dangerous handsome devil. Spooky gulped down hard, holding the hem of her blouse, looking so scared. She has been in the clan for three years now, but she was still not use to Axton's cold face. Among all the members of the clan, Spooky fears him the most. She could clearly remember when she first came to the clan three years ago, were she witnessed how Axton took the lives of seven souls, just because of a little mistake they made. And since then, she has vowed to be on the heartless Mafia good side, for fear of being killed.
Axton walks closer to the man, whom life was slowly draining out of. He bent closer to him with his cold looking face. "Did you possibly think you could hide from me?" His scary deep voice spoke, sending more frightens to the members of the clan. His voice was like that of an angry lion roaring. Braxton looks at him and smiles.
Although he's more like a devil right now, but she couldn't stop herself from admiring Axton. She loves him, but she dare not say it to his hearings, Cuz he might just end her life. Axton wasn't just dangerous and heartless, but he detest woman a lot. Women doesn't attract him.
A woman can go naked in front of him, and he won't blink an eye. He's secretly called an Asexual by the members of the clan. Axton is nothing compared to Kent, whose love for women is beyond boundaries. But still Kent is the only one Axton talks to more often, and that made Kent the closet member to the mafia boss. Both might be friends, but Kent knows that a little mistake from him, he's going to be killed by this heartless Mafia....
The half-dead man look at Axton with eyes filled with regret. He regretted betraying the devil in front of him.
"I'm sorry boss, spare my life and I won't ever betrayal you again" The Man said hoping Axton will soften to his pleadings. "Is he going to spare him?" A male mobster whispers to his friend, his name is Tornado.
"I doubt. The boss hates the word sorry" Gatsby, who happens to be Tornado's friends whispers back to him. They can't allow their conversation get to Axton's hearings, Cuz he won't hesitate to turn them into barbecues.
"What did you just say?" Axton asked as more anger build up inside of him. "I'm sorry boss, please forgive me" The man begged, but little did he know that he pleading for mercy was just weighing his punishment.
Axton with deadly eyes brought out a knife from the dark coloured cargo pants he was wearing, caressing the knife in the areas of his eyes. Fear gripped the man immediately. "Do you know the word I hate most?" Axton asked drawing circles around the man's eyes with the knife.
The man gulped down hard, looking at Axton, and Axton's face created more fears in his veins "The word sorry" Axton's deep voice said, taking out the man's right eye with the knife, blood splashed on Axton's face.
The man screams in pains, but Axton wasn't moved by the cry of the man. His right eye socket formed a hold, because his eyes were no longer in it. Fallon sighs and pinch Kent a little, and Kent looks at her.
"What?" He asked. "Please try to stop him" She whispers to him. She couldn't watch this cruelful torture anymore, and she can't leave, since Axton is present in the torture room.
"What? Stop him. Do you want me to die?" Kent whispers back to her. Though his eyes were on Axton. "But he's more closer to you than anyone here in this clan. Try to stop him Kent, this is getting too much" Fallon whispers back. She couldn't even look at the man being tortured.
"Just because I'm close to him, doesn't mean he can't kill me if he'd wish to. Let him do his thing Fallon. Don't get me involved in this" Kent said. He left her side and stood beside Ace. Ace is also a member of the clan, and a friend to Kent too.
He's often called a laughing guru, because Ace always laugh at any little thing being said. Even if is not funny, he's always prompt to laugh. But he also has great fighting skills too. "Please I'm begging you boss, have mercy on me, it won't ever happened again. I'm sorry" The Man begged crying like a baby.
The way he was crying right now, you'd think he's a baby begging his father for mercy, but it wasn't so. He's way order than Axton, but since Axton is like the devil himself, their age Gap didn't matter. "Why can't he stop saying sorry, the Boss hates that word a lot" Spooky muffled.
The word sorry is a word you should never say to Axton. None of the members knew why he hated that word, all they know is saying sorry to him, will only increase his anger. Braxton just smiled, seems she was enjoying every bit of the torture or maybe is because she's having a nice view of the boss's figure.
"When you embezzled with the clan's money, you thought you had the upper hand, right? but just so you know, no one can hide from me as long as you didn't go to the afterlife". Axton said twisting the knife inside his other eye, without any bit of mercy. The man screams a thunderous pain, as blood gushed out from his eyes, and he went completely blind.
All what the mobsters could do was watch, it was kind of a live bloodshed movie. "Go against me and you will meet your death, You thought I was jocking, right? He asked with his deep voice. The man couldn't say a word, he already lost his sight, and too much blood too.
"My words must have been an empty threat to you, maybe that's why you decided to test me. This is your reward for trying to go against a heartless Demon like me" Axton said, he also knows he's a demon and he has no plan of changing who he is now.
The world made him this way, and he choose to remain this way till forever. "Send my greetings to the devil" Axton said, and in a twinkle of an eye, he sent the man to the afterlife with his gun. Spooky covers her ears, as the sound of the gun, kept taking charge over the torture room. "What're you doing?" Axton asked directing the question to Spooky, when he sees her covering her ears. Spooky looks at him and quickly brought down her hands from her ears, with her heart beating loudly, like it was running Olympic.
"Not.... Nothing boss" Spooky stuttered, and her whole body was trembling in fear. *This won't be the end of me, right* She thought inwardly. She tried to stay fit to the ground, but her feets were betraying her. Axton glared at her, before walking out of the torture room.
The entire members heaves out a sigh the moment he left. They have been holding their breathe all through the time he was in the torture room. Spooky falls to the floor. "I thought I was going to die" She said almost crying, she was really scared when Axton looked at her with his killer eyes.
"If the boss comes back here and sees you in this state, you're surely going to meet your death" Gatsby teased her, and Spooky quickly spranged up. "Dispose the body" Was the only word Kent said, before leaving the torture room. Fallon looks at the dead man and sighs, shaking her head. She'd wish she was able to help him, but she knows that's only going to warrant her own death.
"Kent wait for me" She said going after Kent, who has gone out of the torture room. The other members of the clan, kept leaving one after the other, and the body of the dead man was dispose by the men who tortured him.
His suite was painted black. The curtains, chairs were all black, considering himself a Demon, he portray the role of one, by going with the colour that best defines a demon - which was Black.
Axton sits in the black sofa, smoking. The room was filled with smells of the cigarettes he was smoking, and he was puffing out the flames of the cigarette, through his nostrils. He was just looking like a complete devil. Braxton enters the suite, and she had this kind of happy smile on her face.
She's here to talk to the Boss, and is something she won't trade for a million dollars. She looks at Axton who was backing her, smoking like his entire life depends on. She drag her short purple knife pleated skirt up to her tommy, making the skirt she was wearing more shorter. She cleared her throat and said.
"Boss, I'm here" Axton turns to look at her and his face was cold and stony, like it has always been. And it often made the members of the clan asked each other how he turned out to be so handsome, when he has never worn a smile.
"If you love your life, take your skirt back to its position" Came the voice of Axton, after he noticed how short her skirt was. "Huh?" Braxton muttered trying to act dumb, like she doesn't know what the boss was taking about. Axton took his gun and points it at her.
"Are you still going to play dumb or do you want me to bring out your brain for you?" He asked dangerously. Knowing that Axton doesn't joke with his words, Braxton quickly dragged down her purple knife pleated skirt, back to her waist. "I'm sorry Boss" "Say that again, and you won't live to tell the story of how sorry came into existence".
"It won't happen again Boss" Braxton said burying her head to the floor. Axton drop the cigarette he was smoking inside the ashtray and threw some photos at Braxton. Braxton knowing what to do, picked up the photos on the floor.
She looks at the photos, and it was a picture of a man in his late 50's, fat with mustache and wears glasses. "You're good in tracking people, right? He asked, lighting up another cigarette. "Yes" Braxton answers smiling, feeling so proud of herself, but when she sees Axton glaring at her, the smile in her face vanished into thin air. "Yes Boss" She said looking more serious than before.
"His name is Pablo, he'll be arriving in Russia, with a briefcase containing golds. Find out when he'll be arriving in Russia and also the time factor" He said puffing out the smokes from the cigarette. "Okay Boss. I'll get to work immediately" Braxton said trying to impress him, but he broke her heart, when he said "Get lost". "I should go?" Braxton asked, trying to verify if he really told her to get lost.
"Do you want to die then?" He asked emotionlessly, backing her. He took off the black armless shirt he was wearing, and Braxton almost lost it when she saw him shirtless. He has the definite body of a man. Broad chest and a complete abs. Braxton gulped down hard staring deeply at him, though she could only see his back, since he was backing her, but she could feel herself, falling more in love with Axton - He's just so perfect.
Axton turns to look at Braxton and sees her drooling over him, she was unaware that Axton was looking at her. A frown created itself on his face. He took his gun and fired it at the wall, and the sound of the gun woke Braxton from her dreamy world. And she screams out frighteningly, Guess she never saw it coming.
"If you don't leave now, the next bullet will be on your forehead" Axton said pointing the gun at her, though he was standing a little bit far from where she was standing. And Braxton quickly hurry out of his suite, and her heart was pounding loudly.
Axton sits back in the black sofa, resting his head on the sofa's headrest and resumes smoking again. Aside from his amazing and ruthless skills, smoking was also what he was good at. He could go for days without eating but not smoking, he can't do without it, not like he's addicted to cigarettes, is just it's the only thing that keeps him company in the cruel world that life threw at him when he was a kid.
Women weren't his thing. Other members of the clan were free to sleep with one another, whenever or however they want, but Axton don't belong to that category. There was often time, his mafia enemies use women as a pawn to get him, but it was always futile, because Axton always sends the dead body of the women back to their masters. Not being a lover of women has really helped him greatly in the mafia world. And love was another word he hated. Since his heartless, he doesn't have a place for love in his heart, and he's sure no woman will be able to tame him.
*****
Braxton quickly enters her room trying to caught her breath. She has been running all through the way from Axton's suite down to her room. Axton almost killed her, it was really something to be scared about. Spooky enters her room and sees Braxton breathing out loudly. Since she's friends with Braxton, she always come to her room. And Braxton being a lover of purple, everything in her room were purple in colour.
Spooky rushed to Braxton seeing how heavily she was panting. "Braxton are you all right?" Spooky asked, taking out her hair that was scattered all over her face. Braxton looks at Spooky, still trying to shake off the fear that ignited in her earlier. "The boss almost killed me" She said, calming down slowly.
The fear of dying earlier, were slowly leaving her. "The boss almost killed you? Why? What did you do? Spooky asked curiously. "I-I-I was lusting over him" Braxton stuttered and Spooky almost went numb.
"Are you crazy?" She asked. "What were you thinking? You already know the boss hates it so much when he's being lusted at" Spooky said, feeling disappointed in Braxton.
"I couldn't help it Spooky he's just too handsome" Braxton said with a smile.
"You're seeking for death, Aren't you?" Spooky said hitting Braxton on the head, maybe to get her back on track, because to her, Braxton was going crazy.
"No I'm not. I'm in love with him, and I am going to seek to it that the boss becomes mine".
