Price to pay

Finally, he heard it, the desperate call for him to stop. The pathetic plea of a man who was used to being on the top and didn't suffer any setbacks because of his status and power. He was begging for his life and yet still had the audacity to bargain.

"Please…s-stop, I'm be-begging you. I-I will forget that this incident happened and I won't bother you any longer, j-just please stop." The old man pleaded while catching his breath. He couldn't do it anymore. He kept on shivering and when he met Cygnus's eyes another scream tore through his mouth. "He's the devil! Stay-stay away from me! No! No! Don't come any closer!"

These words were repeated over and over again by the man. His eyes became unstable and his mouth was dripping with saliva while he kept on mumbling incoherent things. The bargain he was hoping for was mercilessly dismissed.
