Ghosts

Bullet to the head

They emerged from the water like"Ghosts".
Swiftly, they all stood upright in the water. The grey murky water slithered down there Matt black armour.
Motionless, they all stood poised towards him, it seemed like years.
They stood like statues, staring right through him.
There were five of them. All wearing the same thing.
Expect one, this one looked like the one in Charge, all the others were masked with the same vicious looking
Vale. It was a black visor that covered their face. But the one in charge wore something that had just been Crafted in by the Devil himself. They looked like had just rose from the pits of hell, yet Rider didn't fear them.
They concealed their feelings through the mask but Alex call read all their emotions. The biggest one stood there with his weapon slightly shaking. He was extremely nervous. Rider could see it in his eyes.

Their metallic weapons all focused on one point, one point which was about to be torn apart.

Vaporised.

He peered through the barrel of their guns and could see the bullets which were about to find a home in his skull.
Silence sliced through the air, deafening him.
He had nowhere to go,
No place to hide,
No place to seek refuge,

It was all over.

Alex loosened his grip of the gun.
He was still holding it by his side.
"How could it be over this quick?"
Questions shot through his brain.
He knew it was over yet he couldn't except the thought of failure.
There was nothing he could do now to save himself now.
He readied himself for his final breath...
He in hailed the last gasp of air he was going to take.
But all he felt was the presence of death creeping into his throat.

The time had come.

The captain in charge stepped towards him.
Each step, causing agonising pain.
Each step bringing his death closer to him.
The metal container held what he had been searching for all this time.
It was only meters away, yet seemed miles away
The man stopped about a meter away from him.
He glared into the eyes of Alex.
Alex just stood there glaring straight back into his eyes.
The Captain pulled out a pistol and raised it between Riders eyes.
They stood there for a moment.

Every went silence.
Now he knew it was over.
He shut his eyes.

"BAM"

The gunshot echoed, booming through the forest.
Blood trickled down the hole in head.
He stood there for a moment, lifeless.
He then dropped to his knees, and then fell lifeless into the mud below.

Alex slowly opened his eyes, he lifted his palm slowly into the centre of his head.
There lay no hole there, looked down to his feet and to his surprise the Generals head lay at his feet.
What had just happen?
The bullet was supposed to be his his head.
The rest of the five men stood, baffled to what had just happened.

And that's when chaos erupted...
