Love My Darkness: A RWBY Fanfic
Torchwick was running. Running faster and longer than he had ever ran before. Beforehand everything had been going fine. It'd been months since he'd gone into hiding...
A loud 'BANG' interrupted his thoughts by inserting a bullet in his shoulder. This meant one things for Torchwick, and it wasn't pleasant: his Aura was drained. Even worse for him, the force of the impact still made him use up precious time steadying his footing so he didn't fall over. He'd seen several people die by falling over after being shot while running, and he didn't intend on making the same mistake. He would have shot back at his pursuer, but not only was he too exhausted to aim properly, but his personal weapon, the Melodic Cudgel, was out of ammo and he knew it'd be a waste of time trying to reload it while running, as he'd probably just drop the ammo and lessen his chances of survival even further.
Just then, a shiver ran down his spine as he felt his assailant get close enough to grab him. He tried to run faster, but then he stumbled. As he realized his failure to get away, he relaxed, dropping his cane and hitting the ground with a 'thud'. He felt himself being rolled onto his stomach. He had just enough strength to grab his last few cigars and his lighter. He placed one in his mouth and flipped open the lighter, creating a flame with the same motion.
"Well...least I died...having one last smoke...want one, Red?" He asked as he raised the lighter to his cigar, the familiar taste making him smile over the irony. He'd been having a smoke when they met, and now he's having a smoke as he died.
Ruby let out a cold laugh. "You know Roman, once I get to Hell I might just do that."
She grabbed one of the cigars he'd offered and placed it in her pocket, raising the handgun she'd grabbed when she ran out of rounds for Crescent Rose.
"Say hi to Neo for me."
'Bang'
