One Bullet Away Novels & Stories

With a deep breath, I squeezed the trigger. Bang! The shot echoed sharply, ricocheting off the stone walls. My heart leapt as I watched the bullet pierce the target, landing just left of the bull’s-eye. So close. Too close. “So close,” I muttered bitterly under my breath, stepping back to reload. The process was methodical, almost meditative, but it did little to soothe the frustration rising within me. I couldn’t afford to be “close.” "Close" wasn’t good enough not for Alex, and certainly not for me.

Chapter 73 – The Sister’s Bullet The gunshot shattered the air like glass. Alessia flinched, bracing for the searing pain of death—but it never came. Instead, a sharp cry rang out from the side. The boy from the glass cell—A-016—had moved. Fast. Faster than anything Alessia had ever seen. He stood in front of her now, his arm outstretched, blood trickling down his skin where the bullet had pierced clean through.

in a desperate bid to stop me. It's too late, though. The bullet has already left the barrel, and I can only watch in slow motion as it hurtles towards its target. The sound of the gunshot echoes through the room, and I'm left wondering if I've just made a terrible mistake.

I just hated that she was right. She walked over, adjusted the IV line. “Vitals are looking good now. We’ve got you on a mild antibiotic and some fluids. If everything stays stable, you’ll be cleared for discharge in the next twenty-four hours.” I nodded stiffly. “Thanks.” She smiled again. “You’re lucky. That bullet just grazed you. An inch closer, and it would have struck bone.” I didn’t need her to finish. I knew how close it had been. I still heard Castle’s voice shouting for me to move. I still heard the echo of Flair’s gunshot, the heat of the bullet grazing my arm. The bastard had aimed for my chest.

Tanya's POV I felt hurt that he pushed me away, but I understood he only did that because he needed to. He couldn’t fight while being distracted by me. He wasn’t looking at me anymore; he shot the gun and immediately killed one of the opponents. If he continued like this, we might not even need to use any of the weapons I had on me. He tried to shoot again, and I knew with deadly accuracy, but it didn’t hit its mark. There was no sound from the gun at all, and I realised that it was only equipped with one bullet.

Walking. Calm. Untouchable. Like she owned reality itself. “She’s not running…” Mara whispered. “No,” Ethan said. “She’s waiting.” God Meets Predator Ethan pulled the trigger. The bullet cut through the air— Perfect. Precise. Impossible to dodge. Cassandra tilted her head— Just slightly. The bullet missed. Not by chance. By calculation. She turned slowly. And looked directly at Ethan. Across hundreds of meters. Through chaos. Through noise. Her lips curved.

I tell him, and he chuckles. “My God… we are… going to need all day…” he says, and I chuckle. That’s the perfect distraction. “I’m listening,” I say as I carefully reach for the bullet. He tenses, feeling the pain. “You are perfect… eyes... your soul… no man wouldn’t… fall in love with you… I think… I… fell in… love… with you… the…” I carefully pull out the bullet, and he cries in pain, his body shaking. Tears blur my vision, but I force myself to stay focused. I sigh in relief and place the bullet on top of the cotton ball I had set aside.

"Regardless of the type of gun used, there is always one fact that remains true. Bullets hurt. And when they enter your body, they damage you. "But the loss of blood that comes after is much more dangerous compared to the bullets. Bullets only hurt when they move through you. Once they stop, only pain lingers. There's not a lot of damage from a stationary bullet in the body "The loss of blood makes it so that the body cannot function at its peak, not to mention how your body will feel heavier and heavier. Take note not to get hit."

Booooooom The bullet went out of the gun and I staggered back due to the force. I missed.

Matt walked back into the room. I closed my eyes to pretend I was still under. Thank the goddess for Alpha Dean.
