Breaking Free- chapter four- The Power of Love.

Kim gun remained on the couple who interrupted her mission. She didn't want to hurt them, but she knew her orders. She aimed at the blonde girl, but suddenly the boyfriend steps in the way.

"Don't you dare hurt her," he said through his clenched teeth.

Kim had never seen someone so willingly throw themselves into a bullet's path to shield someone. She was taken aback by this, but her face remained focused.

"You would be willing to die first?"

"Kill me if you want, but please let Tara go."

Kim had never seen a person give themselves as a sacrifice for someone else. This was unusual and different; she didn't know what to do now. Her mind told her to pull the trigger and be done with it, but something else deep inside her told her to let them go.

Kim fought with herself for a few more seconds before holstering her pistol and turning around to gather the money.

"Get out of here and never speak of this again," said Kim as the couple slowly, but swiftly left the park.

Why had she just done that? Was she crazy; they could give her away. She picked up the suitcase and casually walked out of the park asking herself if she was going to regret this later down the road.

Ron and Tara ran as fast as they could until they reached their hose. They stopped to take a breather panting and wheezing as they walked in. Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable were in the living room when they heard them come in.

"Where's the fire?" Mr. Stoppable asked seeing the fatigue on their faces.

"N…nothing- pant we- pant just wanted- pant to get home- pant on time," Ron smiled as he and Tara walked upstairs not giving his parents time to reply.

When they were in Ron's room they quickly shut the door and sat on the bed.

"What did we just see back there?" asked Tara still shaken up about it.

"I think we just saw a murder," Ron replied holding Tara's trembling arm.

"What should we do?"

"The police won't believe us, and our parents can't do anything so I think we shouldn't say anything; at least not for a while. That girl gave me the shivers."

Tara agreed with him and as they slowly fell to sleep they couldn't help thinking that they would see her again.

Kim arrived at the manor and like always reported to Drakken.

"Ah Kimmie, how did it go?"

Kim handed him the money-filled briefcase and said. "Target is eliminated."

"Excellent; and any problems?"

Kim hesitated for a second, but then replied, "No there were no witnesses."

"Really?" he asked arching an eyebrow, "Are you sure about that?"

"Y…yes sir," she stuttered and slowly smiled at him

He smiled back and dismissed her. She slowly walked towards her room and pondered what she had done.

This was the first time she had ever lied to him before and even though she felt uncomfortable she somehow knew it was the right thing to do. When she reached her room Yori and Monique were inside chit chatting about girl stuff.

Kim immediately went to bed and began to have dreams of the couple she encountered in the park. She saw herself pulling the trigger on her gun and killing the boyfriend as the girlfriend knelt down crying at his corpse. Kim then shoots the girl in the back and beats her with the butt of her gun.

Blood splattered Kim's face and she saw herself relishing at the sight of someone else's blood on her. Kim awoke in a cold sweat, she then realized that she needed to talk to this couple again and find some answers.

Kim was at Middleton High the next morning. She knew when she looked at the couple that they were in high school, but this was a big school so she hacked into the school's files and got their names, pictures, and schedule. She decided to talk to them during lunch time since she needed to make this private.

The one thing she was worried about was the two freaking out. Kim knows that they know her face and they won't forget overnight so she must remain calm and show that she isn't a threat.

As the students stood in line at the cafeteria Kim watched, posing as a student herself. Suddenly she spots them the two of them are holding hands in line and as she walks towards them they turn their heads and see her.

Ron and Tara were in line waiting for their lunch. They were very evasive with Felix because they were still stunned about the woman who murdered that guy. The two of them held hands and smiled at each other; when they noticed someone was walking towards them. As they turned their heads they inhaled sharply as the same woman from the park stared at them.

At first they panicked, but the red head shook her head and motioned for them to follow her. Ron nervously looked at his girlfriend and she returned his gaze with one of her own.

They followed her in silence all the way to the soccer field when she stopped and gave them a small smile.

"Hello again,"she said in a cheerful tone.

"What do want?" Ron asked clinging to Tara firmly.

"Relax I'm not here to kill you or anything I just want to talk."

"About what?" Tara asked.

"About our…encounter last night. I am sorry that I pointed a gun at you, but my training tells me to leave no witnesses."

"Then why didn't you kill us" asked Ron.

"Well first lets be formal about this; my name is Kimberly Possible, but you can call me Kim."

"I'm Ron Stoppable and this is my girlfriend Tara Strong."

"There now that that's out of the way let me explain why I'm here."

Ron and Tara remained glued together as Kim explained her question.

"I have been an assassin my whole life and every mission I've had, every person I've eliminated where corrupt, evil, or spineless. Then yesterday I killed an innocent man who was using my father's money for something noble. Then you two arrived and when I was about to shoot you Ron tried to protect Tara; why?"

"I love her, that's the power of love." he replied giving Tara a small peck on the lips.

"Love?" Kim asked totally oblivious.

"Yes, love it's a feeling you get when two people like each other a lot." Ron sounded surprised since he had never heard a person who didn't know what love meant.

"I have never experienced love," Kim said as she began to question her life. All these years the way her teammates and Drakken treated her she thought was at first love, but she knows that none of them would take a bullet for her or protect her. If she was sick and dying then Drakken would just grab another girl it didn't matter to him.

Kim now felt lost and alone, her whole life was created by someone else and he used her for his dirty work. She felt ashamed to call him father; he was no father.

"Teach me." she said.

"What!" the two teenagers exclaimed.

"Teach me about life and love and what it means to have a family; the things I've never had." she pleaded.

Ron and Tara were shocked to her this from a person who kills for a living, but something in them told them to go with it.

"O.K. we'll help you, but you need to stop killing people and above all don't let someone else dictate your life. Meet us at this address at four and we'll start there."

Kim smiled and walked off happy and optimistic.

When she got home she was quickly called in by Drakken who was not happy.

"Yes Father?" she asked as if nothing were wrong.

"What were you doing with these two?" he showed her pictures of herself with Ron and Tara on the field.

She stood there in shock, but stayed calm, "Those are some friends of mine."

"You don't have any friends; I know you're lying to me and I want to know now!"

"I told you they are frie…" but she was cut off when he slapped her across the face.

She tumbled on the ground as Yori and Monique watched on with disappointed faces.

"You are lying to me and if you don't tell me who they really are then I'll punish you."

Kim remained silent as Drakken waited for her to answer, but grew even more frustrated.

"Fine you leave me no choice.'

He snapped his fingers and two of his henchmen quickly held her down on the table. They then ripped off her shirt exposing her bare back. Then Yori and Monique each held a flail and at Drakken's signal began whipping her.

Her screams filled the room as her flesh was torn from her body. She was on the brink of passing out and right before she did she thought, "This is my family and right now I am on a table…and I am being punished. Cont…
