THE COST OF DEATH Who's the prey?

Who's the prey?

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share a quick note before you dive into my story. English is not my first language, so you might notice some grammatical errors or phrasing that isn’t quite perfect. I’m still learning and improving, and I hope it won’t take away from your experience of the story. Thank you for your understanding and for giving my work a chance!

(The story)

[Daniel jolted awake from a nightmare. His eyes seemed even darker in the dimly lit room. He got on his feet. His ears were still ringing with the shrill shout of a woman. Yes a woman... Whom he knew but not her name]

Daniel (The Mafia leader)

Mom, I can hear you...

Daniel (The Mafia leader)

[His eyes darted to the message that popped up in his phone] [Smirks] The prey is out in the open. How foolish!

[Daniel pulled a crisp, freshly ironed coat and slung it over his shoulders as he walked out]

Vincent (Daniel's father)

You're out late? [walking to the car that Daniel got into] You look like a predator stalking its prey.

Daniel (The Mafia leader)

This time. The prey can't run. [His sharp, fox-like eyes flickered toward his father] I weaken my prey as it runs for its life. And then... [He brought the engine to life and drove away]

Intro to the introduced characters so far: Daniel: called the cold-hearted Monster, but he's still human. Vincent: The old ruler of the underworld now enjoys his old age, leaving his burdens to his sons.

Winding up for today.

Bye 👋
