Amy blinked and stared him right in the eyes. "How dumb do you think I am?" she scoffed.
Blade smiled. "I don't think you're dumb at all. You're just confused. I promise you I am your father."
"Yes cause ever loving father makes three men kidnap their daughter and tie her up, just to have some chit-chat." She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
Blade sighed. "I would untie you, but then you'd run away." He looked at her. "I've gone through many people to find you."
"What makes you think I would believe you?" Amy challenged.
He walked over to her and knelled down so he was face to face with Amy. "Amy, look in my eyes." Blade said calmly. "Remember when you were little and your mother and I took you to the park, and we got ice cream."
Amy gasped, remembering something. "D-Daddy…" she quivered.
Blade smiled. "Oh my sweet princess…" He reached over to hug her, but just then, Amy finished sawing the rope and she quickly punched him in the face. He staggered backwards and looked back at Amy. "But I thought you remembered!"
"I did," Amy stood up. "But not that memory. Looking into your eyes, I remember staring at them in horror as you killed my mother!"
Blade got to his feet. "She was going to leave me and take you with her. I had no choice."
"No choice?" Amy scoffed. "You had no choice to kill your wife just to live with your daughter?" She took a step back. "You're a monster!"
Blade stiffened. "Don't say that." He said through gritted teeth.
"You're a monster!" Amy repeated. "You killed my mother!"
"Enough!" He yelled. "I was trying to protect you, but that stupid man stopped me. But I made him pay. I laughed as I watched him burn in that house. I relished as you came out with him still in there. He had no right to call you his daughter."
Anger flared in Amy's eyes, as well as tears. "You…You killed my father!"
"I'm your father!"
Amy shook her eyes, stepping back. "No… No you're not. You're a murder, a killer," she paused. "A monster."
"You get it from me." He smirked. "You know how it feels to be seen as a monster. With your powers you can't be a normal girl. You can't go to school, go to parties, make friends, anything, because you're not normal." He took a step toward her. "We're not normal. We're the same." He held his hand out to her. "Come with me. We can be a family again."
"I'm nothing like you." Amy hissed. "You're not my father, you're a psychopath."
"Amy, please," Blade put his hand down. "Just come home with me."
"I'm not going anywhere with you." She said sternly. "I hate you. I'll always hate you and I'll never forgive you for what you did." She began to walk away. "I'm going home."
Blade suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Amy. "No! I've spent 12 years looking for you. I'm not about to let you slip through my fingers!"
Amy stiffened. She glanced to her left and saw a stair case leading up. She looked back at Blade. "Sorry, but no." She ran to the staircase, dodging a bullet. He's really shooting me!
"You can't run from me!" Blade yelled, following her.
Amy ignored him. I have to get out of here! She looked around wildly when she reached the end of the stairs. There was a hallway to the left with a door that had a sign above it that said 'EXIT'. Amy ran over to it, opened the door, seeing another set of stairs, then shut the door and locked it. She stood for a second, trying to catch her breath. Suddenly a gun went off and a bullet flew through the door, going straight through Amy's shoulder. She let out a cry of pain and held her shoulder. Keep going! She yelled at herself. She hurried up the stairs and bursts through the door at the end, now on the roof. Snow was falling fast from the sky. Amy ran over to the edge; there was a fire escape leading to the ground. She jumped over, landing on it with a thump. She held back another cry of pain. Shaking it off, Amy quickly climbed down the ladder. As her feet touched the ground, there was the sound of a door being busted down. Amy ran across the empty street and to central park. She ran through the trees, struggling to see through the snow. She gasped as she heard Blade's voice not too far away.
"Oh Amy..." He said evilly. "Come out come out wherever you are."
Amy stopped, panting. She looked up at a tree that was still well covered with leaves. She took of her jacket, wincing from her shoulder and shivering from the cold. She held onto on arm, then through the other over the closest branch, grabbing it as it hung back down on the other side. Amy heaved herself up onto the branch, took her jacket, and did the same thing with the next branch. She was about to go to the next one when she heard footsteps in the snow. Amy held her breath as she looked down to see Blade walking slowly through the snow looking around, his gun ready.
"I know you're here somewhere." He said.
Amy breathed slowly as he walked away. Snow was pouring down from the sky and began piling slightly on her shoulder. She was freezing but she knew that if she moved now, he would be able to find her. Amy rubbed her arms, trying to warm herself up. A lot of time passed before she believed it was safe to leave. She began to climb down when her foot slipped and she plummeted to the ground, landing on her stomach. She closed her mouth tight, holding back a scream of pain. Shivering, Amy tried to get up, but fell back down to the snow, her body going numb without her jacket. Her breath quivered and the snow around her shoulder turned red with blood. Suddenly her phone started vibrating and she noticed it was right next to her. She slowly lifted her arm and pressed the answer button.
"Amy? It's Connor." Connor's voice came through her phone. "I'm just calling to make sure you're alright." Amy wanted to answer, but couldn't. "Amy?" There was a pause. "Amy?!" Connor's voice was full of worry. "Amy, please say something!"
"Ce-Cen-tral… pa-par-k…" Amy was just able to say. "H-Hel-p…"
"Hang tight! We're on our way!" Connor promised.
