Zach's POV. Final part.
With trepidation I moved through the bush trying to quiet myself down as best I could. I knew that it was basically hopeless as I made so much noise just moments earlier.
But I had to try, right?
However, as you would have expected that was pointless, I was found out almost instantly.
'Just my fucking luck.' I thought to myself as the enemy neared.
"I found him! He's over here!"
"Coming!"
"Pin him down, I want a piece of him for myself."
It seemed that it was going to be three versus one this time. Just what I needed. Injured alone, by choice but alone, nonetheless.
Thye moved together in unison trying to corner me on both sides. I didn't want to be a sitting duck, so I moved just like I had already been doing. Not that it had been doing much of anything good for me at this point.
But a stopped deer was a dead deer, so I moved. Since I wasn't caring about not making any noise, the shuffle of the dirt and the snapping of small shrubs and branches could be heard from quite a distance away.
Alerting them to where I was moving to.
"Follow that noise. Don't let him escape."
'Shit. Shit. Shit!' I thought as I scurried around like a bat out of hell. No way was I going to die crawling on the ground.
Without much thought. I got a somewhat safe distance away and then jumped up to stand, hiding behind a fairly thick tree.
Thankfully it was thick enough to cover me fully. My brashness seemed to pay off.
"He's behind that tree over there! Quickly surround him!"
The new head guy yelled and the rest of the black death organization members that were still alive, sounded off. Confirming his order.
"Shit guess it's do or die now." I silently said as I triple checked my body for any extra wounds and to make sure that my weapons were still useable.
My gun only had a few rounds left, not enough to deal with the rest of my attackers. While my knife definitely had seen better days. It would break soon enough. I just prayed that it would last long enough.
"Come at me you sons of bitches. I'll take all of you on!" I yelled from behind my little bit of cover.
I then slightly adjusted myself so that I was able to see more of my surroundings. I was able to see that they were moving all around my little tree. Baring their guns at me all with masks covering their faces.
Trying to add to the horror aspect, I guess.
"Hah do you get those masks as a used goods store. They are so fucking ugly!" I yelled trying to get into their heads.
For some reason though it seemed to do the trick.
"Hey is that true. Do these masks look ugly."
"I mean they kind of do."
"Fuuuuucck! Really I thought they looked cool when I bought them."
"They didn't, we just didn't have the heart to tell you that they fucking sucked."
The group bickered back and forth, which was kind of funny. Thye cared so much about their masks even though they were committing atrocities in them.
They were so weird.
However, I didn't let their funny banter deter me from surviving this ordeal, if at all possible. So, I moved as silently as possible, aiming my weapon at the same time.
I found my first target; he was in the middle of complaining. I guess he was the one that bought the masks originally.
"Look you should ha-."
He didn't get to finish his sentence as I sent a round right through his head. Killing him instantly.
"BANG!"
"Fuck stop worrying about the stupid masks and kill that fucker already!" The leader yelled and everyone immediately opened fire at me.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!" Bullets flew sporadically all around. hitting everything except for me.
Well for the most part. I got skinned a few times by their trajectories.
'Shit.' I thought to myself as my body was being scrapped up from all the bullets and debris. They were only minor cuts and wounds, but they were adding up. Which meant that my stamina was quickly depleting.
I fired back making sure that my aim was as true as possible, given the situation.
"BANG! BANG! BANG!"
I managed to hit two of my targets, however I was still only able to kill one of them. It seemed that my wounds were worse than I imagined as I was barely able to hold my arms straight.
With the amount of blood that I was losing and how fast I was losing it, I was surprised that I was still standing.
My body might be giving out soon, but my mind was not so weak. So, I focused with all of my might. Then I began to move with only one thought on my mind.
To kill these fuckers.
Their bullets kept flying as time seemed to slow. I bobbed and weaved as best I could. Moving my gun around and firing at the shadows.
I was still being hit by stray debris and a few bullets. It hurt but my body was so full of adrenaline that I could barely feel the pain.
I got a few more of them just as my gun officially ran out of ammo. I dove back behind cover, waiting for my time to come.
That was when I heard the low hum of helicopter blades. for some reason my heart filled with hope that I would be able to see Eve again.
