Edgy walked briskly towards his apartment, situated in a disused block of flats. The rain fell heavily and the thunder clapped. Edgy didn't even consider the fact that somebody might one day find out where he hides. Maybe he was too confident?
As he walked in, he slammed the door and took off his dark cloak. He pulled the remote from underneath the cushion on the dusty sofa and switched on the TV.
Nothing happened. The screen was black.
Edgy tried switching to a different channel. Nothing happened.
He tried again and again, "What the hell is wrong with this thing?" he said out loud to himself.
The screen started to light up. Blood red letters made up the words "Time to die"
Suddenly the lights went out, a noise like breaking glass came from the TV, and a door slammed shut.
"Who's there?" shouted Edgy as he reached for his axe.
But it was too late for Edgy. He had already been pinned to the ground before he could get his grip on it. He tried to struggle his way out of the grip of these intruders, but they were too strong.
"Who are you?" he shouted again.
"We are the followers of the ones you call, 'Notables'," they all said in almost a harmonious way, "We will succeed where are masters failed."
Edgy could feel a blade pressed against his throat, too large to be a knife. It was his axe! One of the intruders must have taken it.
He could see a small spark of light reflecting off the polished edge as it was lifted. Slowly it went up, higher and higher, til it reached a point. Edgy closed his eyes. Nothing could save him now!
As the axe lowered, Edgy could hear the air moving, the noise repeated. Again and again. Crash.
The lights turned on and Edgy could see the bodies of six men, all in uniform. A dark, black, one piece uniform that fitted each of them perfectly. Apart from the holes and the blood pouring out.
Edgy stood up and looked behind him. The axe had missed him, but only just. The blade had but into the wooden floor behind where his head lay.
"Let us join you Edgy."
One voice, two figures standing at the doorway.
It was Quazimodo and Mr Nice Guy.
"How'd you find me here?" asked Edgy.
"Those guys led us straight to ya."
(ok, could have been better, that's why I'm not taking A-level English. But it introduced Quazimodo and Mr Nice Guy who both claim they want to be Notable Hunters didn't it? :) )

I'm never included in these damned but good stories.
Did I see my name? Nice story, I couldn't look away for a second. I need a bigger part next time though. : - )
