Take Me to Church
He pressed himself closer to the pew and ejected the empty clip, flinching at the echo that followed when it hit the cold tile floor. He hissed as he turned to the right. The bleeding wound in his side wouldn't be ignored for long. The fingers of his free hand prodded the gory mess, simply smearing the blood over his skin and clothing.
He poked his head above the pew, just one eye to be able to search the back of the church. He was here somewhere; his opponent was hiding, waiting.
The crunch of glass pulled his attention to the right. He spun, rising to one knee with his arm outstretched, his gun up. He would be ready for whatever came his way.
A flash out of the corner of his eye caused him to spin to the left, his finger pressing the trigger. A curse lit the air as his bullet hit his target.
At least he hoped it did.
The hair on the back of his neck rose, causing him to twist again, ignoring the burst of pain that coursed through his body. He blocked the punch that came his way. He brought his right arm up and fired a shot that his opponent dodged. The man swung his left arm up, the knife aimed at his head.
He blocked the attack, hissing as his forearm took the blade and brought his gun arm up, pointing it toward the ceiling, attempting to put a bullet through the man's chin. The shot went wide as his opponent grabbed his wrist and pushed it aside. The man dropped the knife, delivering a blow to the wound in his side that caused his vision to go dark and one to his cheek.
In a move too fast, remarkably, for even him to follow, his gun was in his foe's hand. He closed his eyes as the gun went off.
AN: So this idea popped into my head and would not let me rest (or even write anything else) until it was written. It's not going to be very long, just five or six chapters and each chapter isn't going to be very long either. It's basically just a very long one-shot split up into multiple chapters. I'm finding it easier to write it this way, anyway.
The next chapter is already written and I'll post it next week after I've had a chance to look it over and make it a little bit better. I hope I've intrigued you a little with this prologue and you'll have to let me know what you think!
