BANG!!!
Misty woke up to a gun going off. She looked, up, startled, forgetting where she was for a second, and then it all came flooding back to her.... her dad, her sister, the bus, Death, the Challenge. She looked around for Death and saw him in the middle of the aisle, holding his gun in the air, pointing it up to the roof, which now had a bullet hole in it. He grinned at his victims, who were now all waking up. Misty knew something was up, Death had an evil gleam in his eye, like a little kid who had just stolen a cookie before breakfast and gotton away with it. His blue-black hair was concealed under a red baseball hat, and Misty couldn't help thinking what the real Henry was feeling, where he was, and if he was already dead. She wouldn't doubt that Death had killed him just to borrow his body for a while. Death turned to her, then, and smiled, not grinned, just smiled, for a second, then motioned for his partners in crime. Misty saw NIck and Mikey standing behind her, grim faces set. The other boys stopped hasseling the passengers and made thier way to the back of the bus. They all stood in a semi-cirle around Death, all waiting for their next course of action. "Okay," Death started out, " i just called the Boss. We're almost to the spot. He said when we get there, we need some passengers to hold hostage. We'll chose three, any three." he turned around to face Misty, " I'll go first..."
Death motioned for Misty to come over to them. Misty groaned, grabbed her backpack, and was about to obey, when a voice rang out from one of the gun-weilding boys behind Death.
" Why do we have to take her? Who said you were the boss of us, anyway?" Misty saw it was boy number 5 . Death turned his back to Misty and faced the boy. " What did you say?" he asked maliciously. The boy stepped up, " You heard me, man, you weren't like this a couple of weeks ago. You were cool, now you're this uptight, overbearing, S.O.B." He put his hand to his gun, which was in his belt, " I think i should take over now." Death's face grew red with anger, he looked at the gun that was now pointed at him. His whole face changed just then, he grinned,"Go ahead, Shoot." The boy backed up slightly, a confused look on his face,"Wh- what?" he managed to stutter, his face getting very pale. Death just grinned, " C'mon, man, you know you wanna," he pushed the boy, " Do it. Do it, come one," he kept shoving the boy, until he was backed up against the bus wall, " Come on," Death said, again and again. The boy pressed his gun to Death's shoulder, " F-fine," he said, and shot.
Misty covered her eyes. Silence. That was all she heard, until a maniacal laugh filled the bus. She looked up to see it was Death, just laughing and laughing as blood ran from his shoulder. Suddenly, the blood seeped back in his shoulder, his would closing up as if he was never shot in the first place. The boy who had just shot him was pale and stiff, he looked like he was about to faint. The other boys, backed up from them, all scared of what they just saw. One of them, Mikey, screamed across the bus, " You're not Henry! Y-You look different now." Misty guessed that Death was back in his normal appearance, his real one. Death never took his gaze off of the boy he still had pinned to the wall, slowly, like he was savoring the moment, Death pulled out his gun from his pocket. He pressed it to the boy's head, " I'll see you in Hell," he said, and shot. This time Misty watched, she watched as the bullet flew into the boy's head, as the head seemed to crumple, like the bullet broke up all the skeletal parts of the head, and as blod seeped through every hole on the boy's face. HIs mouth, his eyes, his ears, his nose, all spurting bood, and then, finally, the boy slumped to the ground, that shocked expression still on his face, his eyes still wide and firghtened, but now bloody and lifeless. Misty left like thorwing up, a few of the passengers and one of the boys actually did. Death knelt down and closed the dead boy's eyes, blood coming off onto his hand. He turned around, " And that is why I'm the Leader," he said to the boys, " If any on you disobey me, that'll be you." He indicated the dead boy, and smiled slightly. NIck spoke up,"Who are you?" Death grinned at Misty, " I'm something you don't need to know right now, " he turned to Misty , speaking to only her this time, " It was his time to die," he said, as if explaining it as if explaining to someone why a wolf howls at night, or why hair grows faster after you cut it, " He needed to die today, and i helped him along. It was meant to be, i couldn't stop it.All these people were supposed to die, but you can stop that. These boys, however," he gestured to his cowering group, " they follow my lead, and they live, if they dont, the Devil commands to send them to him, and they will go, if they've been bad..."
