886 Daniel Wept

Everything happened too quickly. One moment, Daniel swore the bastard got him and instinctively waited for the pain to come. But it never did because another person got in the way and was shot instead. 

Daniel stiffened, his feet stuck to the ground with a scream in his mouth when he saw Angelica drop to the ground. It wasn't until now that Daniel knew real fear because it ran through his veins like wildfire. It was obvious that the shooter had not intended to harm her, because there was hesitation on his part when he saw what happened. 

Anger like no other distorted Daniel's features and he rushed at the shooter like a beast unhinged. Daniel had never lost control. No, that is his strong suit, he never lets his emotions get the best of him, not when in the face of danger. But then, seeing Angelica on the floor made something snap inside of him and he felt the primal need to destroy. To avenge.
