The Hero's first kill

Idea from madieeblanchar on TikTok (go check her out)

— ———- 

The hero stood on the cliff surrounded by the villain and their minions. They took a step back, scared. The stone cracked and crumbled into the dark and stormy ocean. The Villain looked at them smugly, knowing that they had them cornered. That expression wouldn't stay on long though.

The hero felt helpless. They had no parachute, nothing that could save them from falling. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the minions pounced like cats on a mouse. They weren't heading towards the ocean though. They were dodging something but what? The Villain counted his group. One less person, but a lot of disorganization. The heroes hand went into spasms. The gun rattled out of their hand. Their face was devoid of emotion. 

The Villain looked, for the first time...scared. Maybe it was the fact that they were one man down. Maybe it was the fact that most of his minions had splashed into the water. Or maybe, the fact that after all the time they had taken to push the hero to their limit, they hadn't even caused it. In fact no one caused it. Somehow, the hero had shot one of their minions without warning or notice. That smug expression had a hint of fear behind it but they wouldn't let it show.
