Crossfire Story

Distant sound of footsteps warned me they were coming, not that I didn’t expect them. I kneeled against the wall, watching the three Black List soldiers slowly approaching me, not knowing what they were up against. As they walked past me, one of the soldiers raised his hand, signaling the rest to stop. I saw my window of opportunity and pulled out my knife and quickly slice the throat of the closest soldier. The two remaining soldiers sprayed with all the bullets they’ve got. I lay low, invisible, until a stray bullet hit my ankle. Blood revealed my location; before they could reload I rushed and stabbed the second soldier in the chest. I had hoped that I could jump on the last soldier but he was quick, he pulled out he’s desert eagle and shot me through the chest. Every breath becomes a labour, every muscle seems to be paralyzed by pain, black spots appeared before my eyes. “Put your hands up Ghost, you have nowhere to run,” The soldier said. Ghost, I chuckled. How long has it been since I’ve heard my name? A memory slipped into my mind, Dragon handed me a needle with green substance in it. “What’s this for?” I asked. “It’s a drug that took a lot of resources to create; it’s still a prototype though.” He answered, “I’m giving this to you as the last resort. If there comes a time when you need it, don’t hesitate to use it, just know once it’s injected, there’s no going back.” “Puts your hands up NOW!” the soldier ordered, pulling Ghost back to reality. “No can do” I replied, pulling out the needle and injected before the soldier had time to react. Pain, massive pain rips through my nerves. My muscles expanded, my blood accelerated, and the last thought that came to mind before I black out forever; I’m finally free.


Extra story:

Ghost and Dragon are best buds during their time in military school, they trained together, watched each other’s back, and never let the others down. Dragon became the leader of Black List and of course he asked Ghost to be his right hand man but he refused, saying he wants to spend time with his family and live the rest of his life quietly and peacefully. That all changed when a nuclear reactor exploded, sending toxic within 5 KM radius of the facility. Everyone within the range died within a week, everyone except Ghost, whose cells has been mutated and he somehow becomes invisible when not moving and only appear lightly when moving. Ghost was filled with anger, sadness, and dread at first, but eventually he went and places himself under Dragon as the Co-Leader of Black List. Dragon got interested with Ghost’s ability and he had his scientists create a prototype which Dragon gave to Ghost at the end for Ghost’s “last” assignment, to assassinate a 18 year old noble who lives in a fortress with a lot of man and gun power. Ghost and he’s squad of 20 eventually killed most that were in his way, but when he saw the noble’s face, it reminded him of his son, who would probably be around his age if he was still a life, and when he’s men decided to finish the job for him, he killed all of them and never return to Black List. For 5 years, Dragon has been sending scouts and soldiers to retrieve the prototype (For it was the only one in existence) which led to the story. After they killed the “mutated” Ghost, they extracted his DNA and mass produced the drug.


I got bored, gimme some feed back.
was inspired by Speculate to write the story btw.
