Chapter 21

Brom

Yawn. God I am so tired but I just couldn't fall asleep so I decided to write the next chapter to the story. Hope you guys like.

Another never before seen. Enjoy this part

Ichabod pulled the reins harder on Gunpowder as the horse began galloping at amazing speed. He saw smoke fill the sky, as he moved the horse towards that direction.

He had come to realize that he stood before the Crow's cave, that had filled with smoke and fire. Gunpowder neighed in fear as he reared himself as Ichabod grabbed his reins trying to pull him back down to calm him.

A loud explosion enveloped them both as Ichabod fell over a rock, as he came to rest next to the headless body of the crow. He recoiled himself back and began to crawl backwards from the decapitated body.

In the distance he heard a horse neigh and he knew immediately that it wasn't Gunpowder. The Horseman was on the move.

Brom, Glen, and Theodore stood at the edge of the forest as they heard the horse neighing in the distance. Brom turned to the other two nervous. "Split up! He won't escape", as Theodore and Glen nodded to him.

Brom stood ready his new rifle in hand to shoot the horseman till he fell. Brom heard a rumbling come from the forest, as the clouds grew black making the forest look even more deadly.

He heard a scream come from the town, as he grabbed the horse's reins pulling it in the direction of the scream. The Horseman could be seen carrying a sack of heads as he headed out of the Killian's House.

Ichabod galloped through the darkness of the forest, as he could see lights ahead of him. The town was in sight. The Horseman had to be stopped no matter what.

The Horseman began walking away, as Brom came before him. Glaring at the Horseman he fired his rifle. The shot could be heard all across the town, but the Horseman continued walking ignoring Brom in the process.

Getting on his horse, the Horseman became trotting away as Brom shot him once again in the back as the Horseman stumbled over falling off of his horse face down into the ground.

Brom stood still grinning happily pleased with himself.

Before he knew it the Horseman's body twitched slowly but then began moving as the Horseman got up once again. Brom's happiness diminished as he started reloading his rifle.

The Horseman stands up and turns to Brom unsheathing his sword raising it to strike. Noticing this Brom quickly dodges the oncoming sword with his rifle.

Across the field Ichabod riding Gunpowder could be seen riding faster and faster to the small town. The Horseman backhanded Brom knocking him to the ground the rifle falling from his grip.

The Horseman turns around and began walking away once more, as Brom grabbed a small knife from his pocket and chucked it towards the Horseman hitting the Horseman directly in his back.

The Horseman stumbles slightly, as he grabbed the knife that was imbedded in his back pulling it out slowly. Registering that this was not going to end well Brom got up and scrambled towards the Killian's barn.

He fell over, as he felt a sharp immense pain in his leg. Looking down he found the knife he had hit the Horseman with imbedded in his thigh. Limping as quickly as he could he stole two Scythes that lay on the wall.

Ichabod quickly jumped off Gunpowder running to Brom's side.

"I'll get him..", he whispered wincing in pain raising the scythes to attack.

"Wait-, Don't you see? He's not after us.", but ignoring his instead he stole Ichabod's pistol leveling it and shooting the Horseman in the stomach.

Innards seem to swim out of the Horseman, as the Horseman seemed to grow angry marching towards them.

"He is now!", Ichabod screamed as Brom threw the pistol at the Horseman as if thinking that would do something to him.

Ichabod grabbed a sickle turning around to find Brom and the Horseman at him as Brom fought with his scythes as the Horseman blocked his hits. Ichabod deciding he should join in swung the sickle but his swing was blocked by the Horseman.

The Horseman began fighting both Brom and Ichabod as he blocked all of there blows one by one. Ichabod's sickle is knocked out of his hand as he stood there defenseless. Brom blocked the Horseman's sword with one scythe and the axe in the other scythe.

The Horseman kicks Brom's leg from underneath him sending him to the ground. Reaching out he grabs Ichabod's sickle swinging it as it embeds itself into the Horseman's side.

"Now you've annoyed him", murmered Ichabod.

The Horseman dropped the axe grasping the sickle trying to pull it out, in the process hitting Ichabod as Ichabod fell to the ground quickly stood up shaking the feeling off.

"We cannot win this", as Ichabod grasp Brom's hand pulling him up as they quickly ran as fast as they could but slowed down because of Brom's limping.

While running Ichabod grabbed a wood splitting axe that was imbedded in a stump just in case of any more trouble.

The Horseman grasp the sickle tightly and finally removed it. Turning around he found Ichabod and Brom going across the covered bridge as he began gaining behind them.

Turning around Ichabod heard footsteps coming from inside the bridge, but on discoverey he noticed the Horseman was no where to be found but the footsteps could be heard.

The Horseman was not behind them, as Brom and Ichabod noticed clumps of dirt falling above their heads. They both looked up to find the Horseman standing up above them.

The Horseman leaped off crouched before them. Slowly he stood up, as Ichabod moved Brom back axe in hand waving above his head as he ran towards the Horseman.

Instead the Horseman skewered Ichabod in the shoulder with his sword, as Ichabod screamed loudly his voice almost going horse as he was lifted over Horseman's shoulder being flown to the ground in a heap a weakness.

The Horseman ignored Ichabod as it charged towards Brom, using his weapons with lighting fast speed Brom was doomed. Smacking one of the Scythes out of Brom's hand his sword flew through the air curting Brom in two.

Ichabod watched in horror, as the Horseman stood over Brom's dead body. Ichabod vision became blurry as the Horseman walked towards him. All Ichabod could see was his shadowy image.

The Horseman ignored Ichabod as it walked past him climbing onto his horse and riding back into the Western Woods.

Selena stood there watching as the Horseman galloped past her into the dark forest. She gave a sarcastic grin. "It would seem the Horseman is doing what it was meant to do".

Slowly she walked away back into the little Town of Sleepy Hollow whistling a small tune as she did a small jig all the while.

Oooo…this is getting interesting! Please review!
