Chpt.21
That night, I looked foreword to going to sleep. I was tired, and it had been a long day. I climbed into my bed, and wrapped the blankets warmly around me. I took a deep breath in and out, and I started to doze off, when I felt something. It was the breeze. My window was open. My eyes snapped open as fear entered my mind.
"Indi. Indi. Indi." stated a voice with a sigh, as if I had let him down. I sat up to see Jason leaning on my windowsill. "I'm disappointed in you." he stated.
"What makes you think I give a…" in one swift movement, I felt a knife jab into my arm. He threw it from across the room.
"Language, Indi. You have such a potty mouth." he snickered. I yanked out the knife, and threw it at him. Unfortunately, he easily caught it.
"What do you want." I hissed, slowly making my way out of my bed, toward the door.
"For someone to carry on my legacy."
"Then you're looking for someone else." I stated with a glare. Jason opened a black bag that he brought along and opened it, and pulled out a crowbar.
"No. You are the one who will follow in my footsteps." he stated, stepping closer to me. I quickly ran to the door, but he grabbed my arm.
"DI-" I started to yell for Dick, when Jason kicked my throat. "Dick." I tried to yell, but it hurt and came out as a raspy whisper.
"Can't call for help now." he grinned. I tried to fight back. I threw my foot up to kick him. But he caught it, and easily pinned me to the ground.
"what… what…" I tried to talk, but Jason covered my mouth.
"Shh. Don't make this more painful then this has to be." he stated. Jason stood up, and the next thing I knew, before I could stand, a crowbar rammed into my side. I looked up at Jason who was looking down at me with a grim look on his face and a crowbar in his hands.
"The next few minutes are going to be the most agonizing moments in your life. I'm going to beat you to death." he explained calmly, and a look of terror was on my face. He noticed my fear. "But once you die, and I throw you in the Lazarus pit, you are going to be just like me." he smiled. I knew that if you die and you are thrown into a Lazarus pit, you come out crazy. I didn't want that to happen. I didn't want to get beaten to death. But I didn't seem to have a choice.
Jason was psychotic. I've known that fact from the beginning, but what he was going to do to me just showed how crazy he was. He was dealing out to me what Joker had done to him.
I felt the crowbar come down on me. Over and over. Jason didn't talk when he brought the iron down. Joker taunted him while treating his body like a piñata. Jason, however, seemed to want to make my death by beating, not as traumatic as his. In some twisted way, it showed that he cared for me.
My eyesight was gone, thanks to him bringing the crowbar down across my eyes. I could just hear my ragged breath, and feel the pain striking from out of the dark.
I then heard something else. The door opening. I could hear Dick gasp, and then exclaim in rage,
"My God! Jason!" I didn't feel the crowbar anymore. I heard the two of them fighting.
"Why Jason? Why!" Dick yelled.
"It's for her own good!" Jason yelled back.
"Beating her to death won't help her!" Dick snarled and I could hear Jason gasp in pain.
"But Bringing her back through the Lazarus pit will!" Jason exclaimed, brushing off the pain from whatever blow Dick gave him. The two then went at each other again from what I could hear. I then heard another pair of footsteps. Bruce's.
"I got him Bruce! Get Indi out!" I heard Dick shout. I was lifted up by Bruce's strong arms and I could feel Bruce hand me over to Alfred.
"Help her Alfred." Bruce stated quickly, and was running back up to help Dick.
"Alfred." I rasped. I could feel him take me to the Batcave, and I was placed on the soft medical cot.
"Miss Indira, stay with me. Miss Indira? Miss Indira!" Despite Alfred's pleas, I was going in and out of consciousness and then I slowly drifted away.
Dun dun dun...
