Warning: Character Death (pretty obvious given the title)
The young boy rushed down the quiet street. Few were awake in the early hours of the morning. His gaudy red costume was a contrast against the gloom of the morning mist, making him an easy target. Blonde hair matted with sweat got in the way of his vision. He stumbled.
He made a sharp turn to his left. The bells on his hat would have jingled if they had not been silenced.
"Shit!" He cussed under his breath. Staring at the wall before him, he frantically searched for a way out. A boy of his stature could not possibly scale a wall that high. Somewhere off, the church bells chimed.
Five chimes.
Fifth.
Santa would be mad that I'm late, he thought. Hoping that he would be able to escape, he turned around just as his pursuer reached him. Her grey outfit kept her almost hidden in the mist. A moment of silence. They stared at each other, then she took a step forward with a Cheshire cat smile on her face. She cocked her revolver.
"Hello, Pierrot."
"Sniper." He acknowledged her with a curt nod unlike those of his age. He remained expressionless, but in his head, he screamed. You know my real name! I'm not Pierrot! His knife was raised as though such a weapon could protect him from a gunshot.
If it was possible, the girl grinned even wider. She waved her revolver around in a carefree manner, swinging it. "Fine weather, isn't it? It's too bad-"
"Are you under the Magician?" He cut her off.
She stopped. Her mind wandered to the pink-haired sorceress. She bit her lip. Where did her loyalties lie?
"...Yes." Her voice came out as a tiny whisper.
"Ah, I see. Then there's no need to say anything." He closed his eyes and let his dagger drop.
Rain started pouring down, as if the sky itself was crying.
"Goodbye."
"...Goodbye, Lemy."
A gunshot was heard. Then, all was no more.
This is actually a crack fanfiction I wrote for Lemy's birthday (June 3rd!) I'm much better at short stories, ahahaha... There might be an epilogue if I decide to post it. owo Also, for those who were reading my (now deleted) Servant of Evil ff... I APOLOGISE AND I PROMISE YOU I'LL REWRITE IT! ...No promises on when, though. It's a busy year for me. Sorry!
Well I hope you've enjoyed this. A little R&R please? w Critiques are much appreciated!
