(Yes, I know that I already have 3 other ongoing stories, but I figured I might as well throw this one I wrote on Wattpad into the mix. Red and Blue are my OCs. Leave a review if you enjoyed!)
Gary was a common street thug. He listened to his boss, did as he was told, and wasn't afraid to use violence when he felt like it. Tonight, Gary would meet two people, and make a series of bad decisions. The first one was to insult a cloak. It all started at midnight, in a dark alleyway. Gary's boss was meeting with... Strange people, and Gary was told to guard the alley with a few other gang members. About five minutes after midnight, two figures walked down the alley. In the dark, not many features could be made out. The gang walked towards the intruders, laughing at the thought of fresh blood. One of the two figures stopped suddenly while the other continued to advance until he and Gary were face to face. By the dim street light, Gary could see that the mysterious figures were wearing cloaks, the front one wearing a deep red and the rear one wearing a light blue. Gary sneered at this. "Hey, it ain't Halloween yet, bitches." No response. "Ew, baby blue? That's such a gay color! Are ya gay, bitch?" Gary taunted. Still no response. This was his first mistake. His second mistake was trying to threaten them. "Alright kids, get a move on. I'm pretty sure it's past your bedtime." A few of the other thugs laughed and scoffed in agreement. To Gary's amusement, the only thing resembling a reaction was Red Cloak lowering his gaze a little. Gary was surprised that the two couldn't take a hint. So, he made his next mistake: drawing his knife. "Look kid, I'd recommend running. I've killed more people than the plague with this knife." Red Cloak suddenly looked up, revealing two yellow eyes. "So have I." He said. The next few moments passed in a blur. Blue Cloak whipped her cloak aside, revealing a bow with an arrow already strung. The arrow's tip was glowing with a purple aura, and Blue Cloak soon put this arrow into the throat of another thug. Even before the thug hit the ground, Blue Cloak had another arrow drawn. Gary didn't notice this at first, since Red Cloak had suddenly drawn a sword and plunged it into the thug standing to Gary's left. Gary was caught off guard, and by the time he realized he should probably stab the guy, two more thugs were cut down and two more shot. At this point, only Gary and another thug were left standing. The thug drew a revolver, but Red Cloak landed a knife into his forehead before he could fire. Gary then made his last mistake: trying to warn his boss. Dropping his knife, he ran into the building, an arrow landing a few inches to the left of his head. Had he looked back, Gary would have noted that the arrow had unleashed acid, and was actually eating a bit of the doorframe. But Gary kept running. When he entered the room, he saw something that nearly made him forget about the cloaked guys. Inside, three guys dressed in robes were standing around, similarly armed like the two guys outside. The lead guy suddenly took a sword and decapitated the boss and 3 thugs in one swing. It was a terrifying sight that would stay with Gary for the rest of his life, mostly because exactly 6 seconds after Gary saw this, Blue Cloak landed an arrow into his brain. Had the arrow not instantly killed him, he would have saw the robed guys scatter, leaving the bodies sprawled on the ground. Had he lived a little longer, he would have seen Red Cloak and Blue Cloak sigh in anger and put away their weapons. He would have seen Blue Cloak strap her bow over her shoulder and heard her say, "Damn. Let's hope this tracker thing works." He would have also heard Red Cloak laugh and respond "If it doesn't, I'll have the techies fired." He would have saw them leave together, and he would have felt it when Red Cloak kicked him in the face. But he didn't, because he was dead.
