(set:$name to(prompt:"man speaks:","a man's name")) It's another normal day in HQ. All the gang members, as usual, are training for there next assassination mission. $name is working on his aim; using his gun and shooting at different targets. Getting it perfect. [[He keeps training.->training]]$name works out. As $name keeps shooting his targets, he decides to actually start working out. $name walks to the gym equipment and puts some weights on the heavy metal bar. As he is about to start bench pressing he sees his enemy walk in. She's also in the gang. He hates how attractive and annoying she looked. But, he also notices she has his water bottle. [[$name goes up to his enemy.->walks up to]] [[$name insults her.->bad mouth]] (set: $Char2 to "Luna") $name stops in front of her. $name crosses his arms with a scowl on his face. He stays silent for a few minutes just staring at her, then $name speaks. "Why do you have my water bottle in your hand?" $Char2 says, "Cause I can. Besides, why are your getting so mad? It's just a water bottle anyway. You're making it a big deal." $name says, "Because it's my water bottle. You can't just take my stuff without asking. You're so annoying. I can't deal with you. I can't believe boss put me and you as partners. I'm suprised I haven't beat you up because how annoying you are." $Char2 just smirks, and speaks up,"Your such a dramatic baby." [[$name suddenly shoves her->push]] (set: $Char2 to "Luna") $name walks slowly, crossing his arms. As $name walks up to $Char2 he suddenly speaks. "Hey $Char2 how's the world down there?" he teases knowing she's shorter than everyone in the gang. $Char2 speaks casually, "It's great! I can look down to the floor easily... to see if your brain cells fell! You know cause your pretty dumb." $name scowls looking annoyed. "Watch your mouth you brat." $name says leaning closer to her ready to do anything. He's tense as a coiled spring. $Char2 just shrugs, and $name just sighs knowing how annoying she can get. "Do you still want your water or not?" $Char2 asks. "NO!!! It probably has poison in it. I know how you are." $name says looking pissed. $Char2 just stares at him and puts the water bottle down. She walks off to train, but stops and turns slowly. "It doesnt have any poison in it by the way. I am mean, but I can't kill my partner." She says with a small smirk. She goes to pick up some weights. [[He drinks his water.->drink]] (set:$Char3 to "Mikey") (set:$Char4 to "Blake") $name shoves $Char2 As $name walks up to $Char2, he shoves her aside. "Why are you even in the gym? Aren't you supposed to be with $Char3 and $Char4? I thought you had a meeting with them." He says blocking $Char2's way, arms crossed. "I already had the meeting with them. They where talking about our next mission." She says casually picking up some weights. $name stares at $Char2, and just sighes . He goes to his bench pressing. $Char2 suddenly speaks, "You know, even tho we hate each other we still are a team." $name stays silent knowing that what $Char2 said is right. Even though they both had hated each other, they have always been a team no matter what. But $name would never admit it out loud. He just shakes his head silently and sit down to start bench pressing. [[$Char3 and $Char4 walk in-> members]] $name goes to pick up his water bottle. As $name picks it up, he slowly opens the cap and sniffs it hesitanly. He had never trusted $Char2's word at all. But there's no poison. He slowly takes a sip and sighs. Finally, he's gotten the water he's been needing. As he drinks he notices $Char2 lifting weights, surprisingly. They where pretty big compared to her petite form. $name sets his water down. $Char2 speaks."My water bottle is right next to you. Can you pass it to me?" She's breathing heavily after her workout. $name stares at her, then slowly grins grabbing her water bottle. He holds it above her head teasingly. "Come and get it, $Char2" $name said. $Char2 sighs and reaches up. $name lets go for once, being nice. As $name walks off to go on the treadmill, he suddenly feels a weird feeling like maybe something is about to happen or someone is watching him and $Char2. As $name is about to turn, he hears a loud BANG! Then a thud like something hitting the floor. [[He turns slowly to see what it was.-> turn]] Everyone joins in working out. As all the members file in, they start chatting and laughing around. $Char3 is the others' boss. He's the one who made the gang in the first place. $Char4 is the funny one in the group, $Char4 is also really protective of his friends. "Didn't know you all where coming. Usually, you both are always on missions. What's the sudden change in heart?" $name said with a smirk. $Char2 suddenly speaks up. "I'll be back. Gonna run to the bathroom" she says, rushing out. "We stopped by so we all 3 boys can have a boys chat only. It's about the mission we have coming up." $Char3 sayswith a deadpan expression. $name sits up staighter; his expression shifting. He knows these missions are serious. Fifteen minutes had pass and $Char2 hadn't returned from the bathroom. The others start getting worried, and they all decide to check if she was ok. As they make there way to the bathroom they hear a small thud, followed by a muffled curse. $name knocks on the door roughly. "Hey $Char2 you ok in there?" You have been in there for a while open up." No response comes as they all start getting even more worried. They decided to break down the door. As $Char4 steps infront, "I'll break it down. Step back both of you." As $Char4 kicks the door down the wood starts to splinter. After what felt like a lifetime, the door opens. [[They look inside.->open]] Everyone rushes in. As all 3 men walk into the bathroom, the first thing they see is the window is open. That's strange because $Char2 never opens the window. Then they see the horrific body of $Char2 on the floor, strangled. She is lying there motionless eyes open staring into nothing. $name is the first to react. He rushs to $Char2 checking for her pulse, but there is none. "Who did this?" $Char4 says. "Find who did this, NOW!!" $Char3 says walking to $name. $name does't even realize he os crying; tears spilling despite him hating $Char2. So much he cries. He is angry, shocked, upset. He not only lost his enemy, he lost his only friend. His partner. $Char3 puts a hand on his shoulder, but $name shoves his hand away clutching $Char2 in his arms. "This is my fault. I should have protected you. I'm so sorry, I'm gonna get revenge." $name's eyes turn dark, and he lets go of $Char2 silently. He stands up. "And I promise." [[He goes to find the killer.->mission]] (set:$Char3 to "Mikey") (set:$Char4 to "Blake") $name turns to see what it was. As $name is about to turn, he quickly pulls his backup gun from his shorts. Turning sharply the first thing he sees is the window. It is shattered, cracked. Pieces are everywhere on the training room floor. And then he sees the worst thing, $Char2 on the floor, lying beside the glass. $name just starts processing what he is seeing. Then, he walks over to her body quietly. As he checks for her pulse, he realizes there is none. $Char2 was dead. He grabs her and cradles her lifeless body, and he whispers her name silently. "I'm so sorry for being mean to you all those times we argued, who am I even gonna annoy now?" $name says trying to joke, but it comes out flat. "I'm gonna get revenge don't worry. I will get the person who killed you." He whispers a deadly promise. He calls the other members telling them about the situation. The others arrive to the scene: his boss and his friend. "What te heck happened here?" $Char4 said looking at $Char2's lifeless body in $name's arms. Meanwhile thier boss, $Char3 just stares coldly. "Find who did this. I want them to suffer," he says taking $Char2 from $name arms to transport her. [[weeks later...->week]] (set:$Char5 to "Lucy") $name finds the killer. $name goes back to the crime scene to look for any clues. When he looks at the window, it looks like it was left untouched. The window was left open. So, if the killer had a way in...how did $Char2 not see them? As $name looks at $Char2's body lying there he notices her nails. He grabs some gloves and grabs an evidence bag. He crouches down to her body. He looks at her nails. There is clear DNA in her fingernails. Clearly she fought the killer even if she still died in the process. "Hm, your smart $Char2 very smart." $name smirks. "You always know to get justice." He puts the small sample of the DNA into the bag. Then he leaves. Later, as he checks the skin and DNA in a lab, the results finally come in. As it turns out it wasn't anyone he was thinking, in fact it was someone related to $Char2. It was her sister $Char5. [[He finds $Char2's sister->kill]] $name went and searched. A week passes from $Char2's death. $name hadn't slept, his eyes heavy with revenge. As he walks into the training room, he remembers seeing her body just lying there. The window was still shattered. He realizes this might be harder then he thought, but then he remembers the bullet $Char2 had in her head. He rushes out running to the room where her body is. As he opens the door he freezes again. Her body is just there. "I'm gonna find this person for you $Char2" $name said. He grabs the the bullet and puts it in an evidence bag. As he turns to leave, he brushes $Char2 hair from her face and leaves with a heavy heart. Later as he is in his own room he grabs some important tools he will need. He grabs some powder and a small brush. He starts working. He puts the powder on the bullet and brushes it gently. That's when he sees it: a fingerprint on the bullet. "BINGO" $name cackles. He puts the bullet in a scanner to check who the finger print belongs to. The scan shows a 100% match. As he checks to see who it was, he freezes. It wasn't a male as he thought, it was a women...his ex girlfriend. He remembered how she did things behind his back, and when $name found out and confronted her she didn't feel guilty. That's the reason they broke up. He is shocked and angry that she killed his partner. He never knew she was even capable of murdering someone let alone someone the same gender. $Char2 was stronger then his ex, but looks like her strength came to an end in her final moments. [[Days later he finds his ex.->confront]] (set:$Char5 to "Annabell") $name finds his ex in the woods. A few days go by from $Char2's death, but $name hadn't given up. He later finds his ex. Her name was $Char5. He had tracked her and decided to fake a identity and lured her into the woods to "meet up". As he makes his way to the woods he hides behind a tree waiting for her arrival. Finally, she arrives . She is looking around. That's when $name steps out his eyes calm, but with a hidden weapon under his hoodie. "Long time no see $Char5, how you been?" $name says with a mocking curiousity. $Char5 jumps and turns around. She freezes seeing her ex infront of her eyes. "What are you doing here $name? How did you even find me?" she said angrily. "I came to find you cause I know what you did." $name says as he circles her like a shark. "What did I even do that you came all the way in the woods for? Cause last time I checked we broke up," she says with a sneer. "You killed $Char2, my partner. The girl you shot. I found your fingerprint on the bullet." $Char5 bursts out laughing wildy doubling over, "FINALLY, I thought you where never gonna find out. You're so stupid. Yeah, I killed her, and I enjoyed every second of it. I saw how close you gotten with that $Char2 girl." $Char5's pupils dialted wildly. $name secretly reaches for his gun. "You killed my partner, and now i'm gonna kill you." $name raises his gun and points it to her head slowly. "Your not gonna do it. You're just a stupid boy who is always sacred of what's gonna hap-" [[To be continued...->.]] As the week went on $name had been following $Char5 around everywhere. He was sneaky like a shadow that can slip under your nose at any moment. Finally he decides to take his hit. He is crouched down sniper rifle in one hand, eyes locked on his target. He is on a rooftop. He spots $Char5 in a dark alley. He positions his scope ready to get his revenge he has wanted. And then... [[To be continued...->.]] Just then $name pulls the trigger. One. Two. Three. $Char5 crumples to the floor and lies there looking out into nowhere. $name slowly picks up her body and takes it back to HQ. $name takes her body. FInally back at HQ he goes to his office and shuts the door He puts $Char5's body down on a long table and grabs some gloves slipping them on. He started by ripping taking all the flesh off her bones, blood everywhere the smell of the rotting body in the room but $name didn't care he just wnated revenge for his partner. After everything he decided to clean the bones up and as he did he started humming to himself. I hope your proud $Char2, after all I did this all for you," $name said. After cleaning $Char5 bones up he grabbed a drill and started to drill small holes in specific parts of each bone. Then after that he grabbed a nice red pair of strings and put them in thru the small holes, connecting them like a puzzle. As he worked his masterpiece finally came to life. Now you might be wonder what are the holes for or the string being inside the holes connecting them. Well after $name finished his work he lifted it up and all of $Char5 bones lifted up becoming a puppet. made out of real human bones. $name tested the puppet moving the strings side to side making the jaw and hands move. It was like a child playing with dolls. But $name wasn't a child he was a grown man, playing with REAL human bones. As he finished he put the puppet on a shelf above his office table and it stayed there. As $name looked at it he felt proud his heart wasn't heavy anymore. All he saw was the puppet aka $Char5 bones. The empty sockets, where her eyes should be. Just staring quietly. And then as $name walked to the door he looked back once before shutting the door. (set: $name to (prompt: "his work:", "name")) (set:$Char2 to "Luna") (set:$Char3 to "Mikey") (set:$Char4 to "Blake") (set:$Char5 to "Lucy") Finally back at HQ he went to his office and shut the door and putting $Char5 body down on a long table and grabbed some gloved slipping them on. He started by ripping taking all the flesh off her bones, blood everywhere the smell of the rotting body in the room but $name didn't care he just wnated revenge for his partner.

So this actually is based on a murder show I watched. The Bone Puppets is based on a killer,but his name isn't what I chose. His name was different. I got my idea off the show and decided to write it in this story. I really hope you enjoyed my story thank you for reading this. THANK YOU!!!!
