The Angel with Horns.
Valkyrie and PrinceOfBlades (beta reader)
Hey guys! So, I hope you enjoy this story. I can't say much but this story will be rated M for language and violence. Daniel isn't with Emily as this is what would have happened if they never met. It's about Daniel who is an assassin who meets a girl who will change his life for the better. I cant say to much but Daniel is the same Daniel as trials. Just a little different. He still has the scar on his chest and gunshot wounds from the school shooting. But he has a long scar that runs from his eye to the tip of his muzzle. We will get descriptions of others later.
PrinceOfBlades I'll leave you a lot of room because I know you have a lot to say about this. Since it's a new story.
And on to the story.
Daniel is sitting on the roof with a pair of binoculars. He is watching the building about 1000 yards away. His target is sitting talking to other people. Daniel is trying to gather what intel he can but not much is visible.
It is starting to rain and Daniel kneels around the edge of the roof. A large tan rifle is on his back. The rain starts to come down hard and Daniel pulls the rifle up to his shoulder. He flips the scope covers up and lines up his target. The black panther is just sitting in the living room. His body behind the chair. The large panther stand up and walks out of view. Daniel bides his time as he will be back. Daniel sets the bipod up and mounts the rifle to it. He is sure the scope is still set. The FN Ballista is a very expensive rifle and he takes care of it. He makes sure it's clean and in perfect condition. That is not his only weapon but this is the one he needs right now. The panther walks back into view with a glass of brown liquid Daniel can recognize the glass as a whiskey glass. Daniel being a somewhat gentleman lets him finish the drink. He rests his index digit on the trigger of the rifle. It would only take 3 pounds of pressure for the rifle to fire. He likes a light trigger but if it's to light the shot isn't good. He inhales through his nose and lets half out. The rifle steadies on the center back of the chair and he begins the trigger pull.
Looking through the cross hairs you would see the wall in front of the panther splatter with a fine red mist. The rifle buck back into Daniels shoulder. He is unfazed by the insane blast of the rifle. A .338 Lapu Magnum is a massive round and hits with about as much force as a freight train. The rifle is very heavy but the recoil of the rifle is massive. Daniel looks through the scope and you can see the mess of the wall and guards running around like crazy. One of them spots Daniel butt at 1000 Yards they wouldn't be able to reach him in time. He opens the bolt of the rifle and set the empty brass cartridge on the ledge of the roof. Near the primer on the side of the spent casing there is a capital V printed in the side. It was his calling card. Any brass he used had the V in craved on the side. He slings the rifle back over his back and walks towards the stair. He slowly makes his way down. Careful not to bang the rifle on anything. He reaches down to where his pistols lie. They are specially designed pistols. He got them from a friend of his who hunts down spiritual creatures. They were .454 casull and the bullets were made of blessed metals. They could kill both man and spiritual creatures as he helped an angel names Sam. (Not the reason the story is called The Angel with Horns). They are both about 10 inch barrels and very heavy. He draws the pistols and leaves them by his side. In case anyone decides to mess with this killer for hire. He didn't worry about leaving evidence. He has never dealt with trouble with the Law as they have needed him sometimes as well. (The pistols are from a online serious called Hellsing Ultimate. It's good look it up). Daniel reached the bottom of the building. It was about 15 stories. If it had been any higher he would have B.A.S.E. jumped from the top but it was just under the height he needed to survive unharmed. He opened the door and loaded the rifle in its case in his Corvette. (Same one from Trials the '67 Stingray.) He was about to get in and leave when he heard the scream. Daniel is a protector of the weak and when he hears a female scream he goes over. He walks quickly over to the alley and there he sees it. A large tiger standing over a female gazelle. He doesn't notice Daniel is there yet and is still focused on the gazelle under him. Daniel walks up and taps the tigers shoulder. The tiger spins around and Daniel realizes it's not only a tiger. He is also one of the monsters he hunts with Sam. He jumps up and pushes himself away from the "tiger" and uses a back flip to get away. Daniel is a bit of a show off but is also special. He is a hunter like Sam. Except he is more vampiric then Sam who is an Angel. Daniel is able to control his desire for blood but doesn't tolerate other vampiric spirits. The tiger looks over and smiles. "Ahhhh, The Valkyrie. Why must you interfere? You should be doing the same as me." Daniel smiles coldly. "I would rather protect." After speaking he uses one foot to propel him in a diagonal back flip. Right as he spins around and is about to land he shoot the "Tiger" Through the head. A single casing hits the ground with a small ringing sound. Daniel lands the flip flawlessly and holsters the pistol. He doesn't have to check the ammo as it has a special Schrodinger's principal. As long as Daniel believes he has ammo in the gun there is ammo. No matter how many rounds he fires. He often reloads for style points and just to be badass. Daniel walks over to the female gazelle. He reaches out and offers his paw to the gazelle. She jumps up and embraces him in a hug. Daniel just stands there. He feels the gazelle try to put something in his back pocket. "What did you put in my pocket?" He asks. She looks at him like she hasn't done anything. "you put something in my pocket. What is it?" He reaches into the pocket and pulls out a slip of paper with a name and phone number. He smiles "I'm flattered but you don't want to fall for me. You have no idea the underworld that I deal with." Daniel turns on his hind paws and walks away. The gazelle calls out. "Please Just take it." The snow leopard stops in his track. The voice is so smooth voice dripping honey. Daniel takes the scrap of paper. He set the single shell from the gun on the ground standing up. The V plainly visible as it is glowing with the churches blessing. Daniel walks away. He gets to the car and looks back. The gazelle looks over with a sadness in her eyes. Daniel gets into the car as he can't get attached. He is a gun for hire and a demon hunter for the church. His job forbids him from getting attached. He gets into the car and starts the engine. The roar is heard for blocks and Daniel lets the clutch out and the tires smoke up on the ground.
There you go. I love this idea and wanted to write something like this for a while. Daniel is a gun for hire and a demon hunter for the church. Even though he is a vampiric spirt he doesn't thirst for blood and has an insane rehealing factor. I would like to give credit to PrinceOfBlades for helping me develop the story idea. We will hear more from him and his character. Also do me a big favor and check out his story.
An Angel among Mammals. You will see a very familiar snow leopard soon. It's a great story and I am proud to have gotten him to write. Please go like and follow the hell out of his story. It's awesome. So, for now this is all I have. Also, I will incorporate a lot from the anime show Hellsing ultimate. Like the guns and alucards abilities are what Daniel has.

Here's to the good times.
