Chapter Text
The latest city to be overrun by demons was already in complete chaos and despair as the majority of inhabitations are being killed left and right. Woman, men, person or elderly, middle -aged or young- it didn't matter for these demonic beings as long as they get to kill without any remorse or guilt since they were already damned souls who had their time in hell. The remaining inhabitations- the ones who survived the horrifying ordeal- managed to escape and went to hide somewhere in the outskirts of the once lively metropolis where rural towns
Unfortunately, not all of the survivors are good.... In fact, some of them abandon their loved ones in the wake of the total destruction, some left their partners behind while others left their parents or siblings behind to be killed off by the demon soldiers. Even some survivors would leave their children behind such as a couple who quickly abandon their three children along with their newborn twins without a second thought.
The children couldn't even react in shock or horror at their parents abandoning them when a group of demon soldiers quickly noticed them.
"Gahahaha! Look we got 'ere boys, a group of little kids with some nice skin...." One of the demons exclaimed rather excitedly, his eyes full of sadistic glee with no further thought of what he wanted to do to them. The oldest one of the children, a young girl who's no more than ten with brown skin and afro curls, waste no time trying to shield her siblings with her small body.
"L-Leave us alone, you ugly demons!" She shutters in both fear and defiance while attempting to stare them down with fearful dark brown eyes.
The demonic beings only laughed in response at her feeble attempt to intimidate them. "Bahaha~! Look at this little bitch. Think she's tough shit!" One of them guffaws cruelly.
Then all of the demon soldiers point their guns at the children without any hesitation.
"Say your prayers, kiddo!"
"Hopefully, the afterlife will treat ya' well!"
The little girl's eyes widen in complete horror while her little sibling either let out a scream or shriek of fear. Even the babies in their arms started to cry due to the loud chaos around them. Suddenly, loud sounds of a raven's caw and wings fluttering distracted the demons and they turned their heads towards the direction of where it just came from. Behind them is a hooded figure all shrouded in a long grey cloak that seen better days with how the ends of it is ripped and teared apart in some places.
"Eh? Who da' the hell are you?" One of the demon soldiers sneered as he aims his gun away from the frightened children before pointing it at the hooded figure. The rest of them either keep their aim where it is on the children or point their guns at the direction of the hooded figure as well.
The hooded figure only seems to tilt their head rather curiously at the demon soldiers, practically sizing them up from under their hood as if they're nothing more than a bunch of ants waiting to be squashed.
"Well.... I'm your worst nightmare." Is all the hooded figure say in a quiet, near-monotonous voice before they pull their cloak off of their body-
Revealing themself to be actually a teen girl, no more than seventeen, with dark skin and long raven curled braids that is dyed halfway in white and have rings in some of the strands. She's wearing a deep royal blue off-the-shoulder top with long puffy sleeves and black chocker on her neck, complete with a grey lace-up corset harness underneath her chest and a black short skirt that layered with ruffles along with some white thigh-high stockings with black low-heel ankles boots on.
"Prepare to be perished." She warns the demonic beings with her glowing, piercing grey eyes.
"W-What the hell!?" Some of the demons start to back away in fear. All the while the little girl look at the older girl with grey eyes in slight awe and hope, praying in her mind that she would save them from the demonic beings as she continues to shield her little siblings with her shaking body.
"That chick ain't normal!" One demon yelled while gripping his gun tightly.
"She isn't human like the ones we've been hunting down, I can fuckin' smell sulfur and some other shit on her!" Another demon exclaims in fright.
"Whatever man!" A third demon scoffs before aiming his gun at the girl in front of them and cocking the weapon in attempt of intimidating her. Even though it's quite obvious that she isn't intimidated nor scared by their presence at all with how her grey eyes glow rather dangerously. "This bitch is still just a human! Let's kill her and kill the-"
Before the demon could continue however, the girl with the grey eyes suddenly whispers something under her breath and not even a second later, a blue circle full of what seems to be ancient runes forms on her chest. A large weapon that is an amalgamation between a gun and a broom stick with a gold outline and patterns in vine-like swirls. She quickly shoots the demon in question without any hesitation as a sudden array of glimmering bullets hit him right in the torso, his grotesque skin burst all over with dark red blood and he starts gurgling helplessly in agony before falling to the ground.
"Get her!" One of them screamed angrily before they all start shooting at the girl. But she swiftly dodges their bullets by backflipping away before conjuring up a large slab of concrete covered in ancient runes just like the ones before. Protecting her from the demon soldiers' bullets as she goes to reload her weapon.
All the while the demon soldiers have their full attention on attacking the older girl. The younger girl, whom they were about kill along with her siblings, took the chance to escape by grabbing her siblings while making sure they're holding the babies in their arms as she quickly ushers them to safety.
Seeing that the children won't get hurt in the midst of the fight, the girl with grey eyes cocks her large gun before leaping out of her shield and start whispering under her breath once more. The weapon bursts with a fiery aura surrounding it when she begins shooting at the direction of the demonic beings with now burning bullets while in mid-leap.
It hits the demonic soldiers directly upon impact- engulfing them in bright red flames, and they start screaming in pain and horror. Unable to continue their attacks anymore.
"Oh god-!" One demon screams loudly.
"It burns, It fuckin' burns!" Another one howled in pain as blood spurts out of his warped body.
"Make it stop, fucking make it stop!"
Yet, the older girl didn't heed to their cries of pain or mercy. Only whispering under her breath for the final breath as the large gun in her hands starts bursting again but this time in an array of electric bolts when she begins shouting out in an unspeakable language.
"Ouht etsat ouht snis as yht thgourw nwod redunht ouht lanif eryp!"
Then within a big flash of lighting, the girl with grey eyes shoots them down for good as her electrifying bullets strike the beings. Leaving the demons engulfed in not just big flames but in big bolts as well when they cried out their final screams of pain and mercy before dropping like flies.
She lands on the ground gracefully without a stumble nor fall. Just looking down at the corpses of the demonic soldiers with no emotions in those grey eyes of hers.
"May you bastards stay in hell... for good this time." The older girl mutters quietly while running her fingers through her braids casually. Then, starts reloading her gun while a smaller figure slowly walks behind her before reaching out with a cautious tap on the back.
"U-Um.... Hello?"
The girl with grey eyes quickly turns her head to see it was the little girl that tabbed her on the back, quietly staring at her for a moment longer than necessary which makes the younger one feel a bit uncomfortable under her piercing gaze. Recognizing that she was making the young girl unnerved with her staring. She finally answers the young girl with quiet, near emotionless tone.
"Yes?"
Feeling a little relaxed, the little girl begins pondering on what to say for a few seconds before starting to speak.
"U-Um, thank you for saving me and my siblings! I was so scared when those mean demons were pointing their guns, but then you came along and take them down like a superhero! Thank you so much...!"
Suddenly, a shadow forms over the older girl's face and immediately hold up her hand out to stop the younger girl. "No."
The little girl blinks in surprise. "What do you mean-"
The girl with grey eyes crouches down enough to put a hand on the young girl's shoulder while looking at straight her in the eye. "I'm not a superhero. More like.... A witch." She interrupts her.
"A witch?"
"A witch that takes down demons and send them back to where they truly belong." The older girl nods her head in response. It was then she pauses for a moment, her mind thinking about something as she looks at the little girl and her siblings that was hiding behind a corner not far from where they were. "Hey, what's your name?" She suddenly asks the younger girl.
"O-Oh, uh, my name is Lucinda!" The little girl-now Lucinda- introduces herself before pointing at her siblings, who seems to be feeling safe now as they slowly move out from the corner, "That one there is my little brother Thomas, the one next to him is my little sister Jennifer and the babies in their arms is our baby brother and sister. Bella and Percy- they're twins!"
The older girl looks at her siblings silently. Starting at them for a moment longer than necessary like she did before with Lucinda, almost if accessing the two younger kids and twin babies for some strange reason before looking back at the little girl.
"I see." She says before standing back up from her crouching and holding her large weapon on her side with ease. Like she was sheathing a sword instead of a gun. "Well, is there anyone, any adults you and your siblings can stay with?"
Lucinda shakes her head sadly. "I don't know anyone else.... And our mommy and daddy just..." She trailed off quietly.
The girl with grey eyes immediately gets what the younger girl is saying. Her grey eyes held a dark glint for a split second before it quickly disappears just as it appeared as she turned towards the direction of the city. Her hand clutching around her weapon tightly as it emits mysterious sparks of dark blue. She flicks her wrist and suddenly- the torn cloak grey she threw away earlier- wraps itself around her body and shrouding her identity like before.
"Alright.... My name is Bullet, and I'll make sure all of you get out of this alive. Got that?"
