I would die for you
I would die for you
I've been dying just to feel you by my side
To know that you're mine
I would cry for you
I would cry for you
I would wash away your pain with all my tears
And drown your fear
I would pray for you
I would pray for you
I would sell my soul for something pure and true
Someone like you
See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking
You would believe in me
And I would never be ignored
I would burn for you
Feel pain for you
I would twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart
I would lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I would crawl on hands and knees until you to see
You're just like me
Violate all the love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You would believe in me
And I could never be ignored
I would die for you
I would kill for you
I would steal for you
I'd do time for you
I will wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be part of you
Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you

Ken watched Cammy's eyes narrow. She was now, obviously, going to concentrate on the task at hand. Killing him. He was basically screwed. Even if the two guards weren't holding him, if it was just him and Cammy in the room, he couldn't fight her. She stepped forward and Ken spoke, hoping to bring her back.
"Cammy, stop this. It's me Ken."
She paid no attention to his words; she was oblivious to them. She stopped into front of him, reared her arm back and delivered a hard slap to his right cheek with the back of her hand. Ken saw stars before he tasted the familiar flavor of blood in his mouth. It ran onto his face from the corner of his mouth. Cammy's blow was harder than Vega's. Ken looked directly into Cammy's eyes this time before he spoke.
"Don't do this. It's not who you are. These are the people that killed your father. Don't you remember?"
Again she ignored his words before stabbing her knee into his gut shifting his ribs. If Vega hadn't broken them earlier, Cammy had just done it. Ken couldn't help but cry out. Doing this caused the blood from his mouth to spray into the air, and onto Cammy and the guards. The guards flinched, seeming disgusted. Must be their first torture/murder session. However Cammy didn't draw back. She simply stared forward, contemplating her next blow. The guards were distracted and Ken used this opportunity to pull away from them. He fell onto Cammy, catching her off guard, and pinned her to the ground with his weight. It hurt like hell. He placed his hands on the sides of her face and pleaded with her, his face mere inches away from hers.
"Cammy, please come back to me. Don't let these bastards defeat you. Not like they did your father. He almost beat it. You can."
Cammy's eyes squinted and she made a small distressed moan. Ken was about to speak again. However, his voice was cut off as one of the guards kicked his body from Cammy's. Ken retracted into a ball, preparing himself for the next painful attack, but it never came. After a short moment her felt hands softly touch his back. He turned to see Cammy. Ken sat up, hope written all over his face. I got to her! Cammy reached out and touched his cheek tenderly and spoke the first words he had heard her speak since he last saw her in the hospital.
"Do not ever touch me again."
Before Ken could even mutter 'huh?' Cammy's palm connected directly with his nose creating a loud crack. Ken's body flew backwards. He was face down on the stone floor with a large pool of blood forming under it. Ken's eyes burned now. He felt her behind him again and sure enough, she carried out a swift and hard kick to his side. Ken tried to get up but she effortlessly pushed her hand against his forehead sending him to the floor once more. Ken couldn't keep the blows strait in his mind now. There was one after another. Before he could recover or even cry out, she was pounding him again. And her strength was so great. While she was hitting him Ken heard one of the guards speak to the other.
"I think she's got it from here."
Then they left. Suddenly she stopped. Even though it burned like hell from all the blood, Ken looked up at her with his left eye, the other swollen shut. She reached down and picked him up by his clothing. His body was practically limp. Every single tiny movement caused pain in at least three placed throughout his body. Everything was blurry and getting blurrier as she moved his body across the room and pinned him against the wall. For the first time Ken really thought she was going to kill him. Just the look of her. Her eyes were her eyes, but so empty. His blood was dried in her blonde hair. Her blonde hair. Ken's heart ached. Cammy lifted his chin and leveled her eyes with his. She wrapped her petite, strong hands around his throat and began to constrict her fingers. Ken could feel air trying to squeeze through the, now tiny, passageway. He looked at Cammy and tried to think of who she was before this. Someone he loved. He had never said that to anyone before. At least and meant it. He had come to save her and failed. Why had he been so hasty? He was angry when he saw the video of that bastard Vega killing Charlie, and hurting Cammy. He had to have known that he was her father. It was so sick and cruel. And now she was under his control. He wasn't going to leave Cammy, even this Cammy, with Vega. Using all the strength he could muster in his weaken state, Ken reached up and pulled down on Cammy's arms. The strength she used to keep her arms up caused her grip to loosen on his throat, allowing air into Ken's lungs. It stung but it felt good, invigorating even. He spoke to her again, his voice rasping. A last ditch effort.
"Please wake up Cammy. I need you. I love you."
Cammy released Ken and backed away from him, pulling her hands over her ears. Ken staggered towards her. He was getting to her! He realized he needed to say familiar things. Make her remember who she was. He reached and grabbed her hands from her ears. She was sweating now but her eyes hadn't changed. He pressed her against the wall and spoke frantically.
"Don't you remember the first time we met? And you had just gotten done beating up on that jerk. And when I tried to help you were ready to kick my ass? That's who you are Cammy. Remember your father. Be strong for him. Don't go out the same way."
She pulled her wrists from his grip roughly and screamed very high-pitched and angry.
"STTOOOPPPP!!!!!"
Ken was going to take a step back but before he could, Cammy jumped kicked him in the shoulder sending him flying to the ground with a loud thud. Everything hurt once again, including his nose. It was broken and needed to be reset as soon as possible. But what did it matter if he was going to die? Ken was lying on the floor breathing deeply when he saw the door to the cell open. It was Vega. He spoke to Cammy.
"It seems as if the boy's friends are going to be here very shortly to save him. Which means we need to leave."
Cammy spoke back to him in a toneless voice.
"He is not terminated yet sir."
"Do not worry. He will die along with the ones who are trying to save him, the ones who planted him here. Let us go now."
Vega placed his hand at Cammy's lower back and guided her out of the room. Before he disappeared from Ken's view, Vega winked at Ken licking his lips that were upturned in a wicked grin. Ken yelled at him in his hoarse voice struggling to move forward towards him.
"You're going to pay. It's not over."
But Vega was already gone. Ken watched many others pass by the door of the cell all in a hurry. Soon he saw the familiar form of Julian pass by. Guards who were pushing him forwards surrounded him. Julian noticed Ken in the cell and yelled.
"Ken!"
Ken struggled to push his body to sitting, using the corner of the cell wall for help. Julian pushed away from the guards holding his arms and stumbled into the doorway of the cell. He couldn't get up before the guards grabbed him again because his hands were handcuffed behind his back. He used he legs to remain in the doorway as long as possible. As the guards pulled at Julian's body, he yelled.
"I heard them talking man! This place is going to blow as soon as they get outta here! You gotta get out Ken! Get out if you can!"
Julian was still struggling to get out of the soldier's grip when another one hit him in the back of the head with the butt of his gun, and within a second, Julian was gone. Ken's entire body was weak. His chest burned almost as much as his face and eyes did. He waited a few minutes before he pulled himself to standing and began to stumble slowly out of the room. He didn't know which way Vega went with Cammy, or the way out of here. But if he was going to die, it would be trying.
