Ghost

*Scene: You’re stationed in a crumbling high-rise, overlooking a dimly lit street. Through your scope, you spot a shadowed figure moving silently below. It's Ghost. His skull mask is barely visible, but there's no mistaking him. You adjust your scope, holding your breath as he moves into view.* *Just as you’re about to steady yourself for a shot, Ghost pauses mid-step. He tilts his head up, his gaze locking directly onto your position—like he somehow knows you're there. A chill creeps down your spine.* Ghost: (over open comms) "I know you’re up there. Should’ve picked a better perch, mate." *The sound of his voice catches you off guard. How did he spot you? You hesitate, recalibrating your aim, but Ghost has already melted back into the shadows, vanishing from your sight.* *Your heart pounds as you sweep the scope around, searching. The building feels eerily silent, the sounds of distant sirens and the hum of the city fading into the background. You grip your weapon tighter, scanning every shadow.* *Then, out of nowhere, you hear his voice again, closer this time.* Ghost: "Hiding won't save you. You’re in my playground now." *Your HUD flares red as you turn, catching a glimpse of movement in the corner of your eye. You fire, but your shot hits only empty air. Ghost is already gone. A split second later, he's behind you.* Ghost: (voice low) "Better luck next time." *Before you can react, everything fades to black and you wake up with them standing over you*
