Rise of the Elementals

Alex stood in the pouring rain, listening for footsteps ahead of him. The heavy rain would slow anyone unlucky enough to come in his path, but nothing would be able to hold him back. Not anymore.

Minutes passed, and he stood in absolute silence in the dark alley, until he heard a cough. He thought the entire thing through. His entrance, the kill, the escape. He had it all planned out, nothing could go wrong.

The person came closer and closer, and he could hear their quivering breaths. He began to walk forward, slowly and silently.

He saw his victim in front of him now, but he stuck to the shadows, so she had no idea he was there. He saw it was a young blonde woman, she wore expensive clothes and had a strong perfume.

He stood behind a dumpster and waited until she passed by him.

He took swift steps and was right behind her in no-time. He took his knife from out of his pocket with his right hand and put his left hand over her mouth.

In a moment and without words he slit her throat open. He heard her gurgling as she tried to breath, and he leaned his head over hear shoulder so he could get a better look at her wound. He felt extreme sadistic pleasure from the sight, but he knew he had to leave before someone saw him.

He grabbed the side of he dumpster and pushed it over to where his victim laid, and he poured all its content over her. He knew his gloves would prevent any kind of fingerprints to be left at her or the dumpster, so he decided it was time to get away.

He jogged away through the alley, the same way she had come from, until he reached the street, where he came to a slow-paced walk.

He constantly look over his shoulder, to make sure there weren't any police cars behind him. Because a few weeks ago he murdered a young boy, but was spotted by the police, and since then they had been all over the city looking for him.

As he looked back he bumped into another man on the street.

"Hey watch whe-... Oh shit. Hands up!" He heard the man said. He looked at him and saw the he had accidentally bumped into a police officer.

"Hey hey, let's take it easy now... What if we wou-" Alex talked smoothly before reaching his left hand out and grabbing the officer's gun and punching him in the face with the right, which caused him to let go of his gun.

"Bad luck.." Alex said and quickly fired two bullets into the officer's stomach, where he knew it would hurt the most.

But just moments after he fired the gun he heard sirens just around the corner of the building he stood next too.

"Fuck!" He said and began to run in the opposite direction. He saw the blinking lights beside him after only a few seconds, and he turned and ran into the nearest alley-way as soon as he could.

He heard the car's doors slam shut and he shots being fired after him.

He took the chance as he got to the slimmest part of the alley to jump up between the walls until he reached a fire ladder, which he used to climb as high up as he could. The building he was on was impossible to continue up on, but he thought it would be possible to jump to the building behind him, which had its roof only two feet above him, but several more away.

He was planning his jump until he noticed a bullet that bounced off the wall just a few inches away from him, and then he decided to jump.

He pushed as hard as he could with his legs, and tried to get his arms into the right position, and sure enough he made it. But he didn't take anytime to rest, but began to pull himself onto the roof. He swung his body up, but just before he could get his left leg up, he felt the stinging pain of a bullet penetrating through his muscles.

"Ahh, fuck!" He shouted and pulled himself up as his adrenalin gave him extra strength and numbed the pain.

He got onto his feet and slowly made his way towards the opposite edge of the roof.

As he peeked over the edge he saw two cops standing below him. And as he thought about it, he realized there were many more sirens now, and he figured they had the entire building surrounded.

"Aww, come on. I'm just getting started. I can't go down like this." He complained.

He noticed all his senses were slowly fading away. His vision began to blur, the sirens became muffled, and he realized he was about to die.

He lost all feeling in his body, and he felt as if he was only a floating mind, trapped inside a bony cage.

And then suddenly the sirens became louder than anything he had ever heard, and he could hear every word the cops were saying to each other. His vision became crimson-red, and he felt stronger than ever before.

His breaths became stronger and deeper than he thought was humanly possible, and he felt as if his mind exploded with rage.

He jumped onto his feet with a insane smile on his lips, before jumping off the building.

He landed on a police car and smashed the roof in, but he felt fine. He moved faster and more agile than ever before, and he managed to hit one officer with enough force to break his skull. He turned around, slid over the smashed car's hood and hit another officer in the face, making him pass out immediately.

Good... He heard a dark voice say in his mind, and he felt his torso getting pierced by bullets. And he dropped dead.
