M'kay so this is a very short Sucker punch fan fiction. :3 its written from the view of Baby doll towards the end of the film so yeah if you've seen the film you'll understand. Reviews appreciated! :'D
It was in that moment I knew. A map, a fire, a knife, a key- the last item had to be me. That's all I was; an item. A possession. An object to those that wanted me. Only I was able to find out, it was a mystery, it was the reason, it was the goal. It would be a deep sacrifice and the perfect victory and now I've finally found it. Sweet Pea's only way home is through me-this was her story after all. It was never mine. The strongest one always succeeds and in this case she was the successor. The winner of the prize of a normal life.
"It's me"
She doesn't want to listen, insists we go together but I convince her it's better this way. Standing up, I straighten my outfit, the sparkles reflecting the light from the moon and projecting rays of light from my body. Marching confidently, I step in front of the guards. Their heads tilt, questioning my bold move.
"Where you going sweetheart?"
I block out the words, instead focusing on Sweet Pea and her bid for victory and freedom. She opens the gate slowly and looks back, her face wet with mascara stained tears. I nod and think of our journey- the monsters we destroyed, the items we gained and Madam Gorski's wise words fill my head- never more appropriate than in this moment.
'Your fight for survival starts right now. You don't want to be judged? You won't be. You don't think you're strong enough? You are. You're afraid? Don't be. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.'
With that, my eyes return to those of the guards and I kick him with all my might, begging him to return the favour, willing him to do his worst. My expression says it all as he punches me in the face and I forget everything.
