Chapter 14

Mindy gives me a weak smile from across the room as she puts her wig on. I finish tying the laces on my boots as I stand up and make my way over to her. Her smile disappears and she throws her arms around me, knowing that this could be one of the last times that we hug considering today is the day when we fight Captain Killer.

"Dave, you don't have to do this," Mindy says as we part. She crosses her arms and scowls at me.

"Well I want to. I feel like I need to protect you so let me help." I say before turning away from her.

"Here, put this in your boot," Mindy says handing me a knife. Once Mindy finishes giving me about twenty different weapons that I can reach if a situation comes up where I can reach my swords- Mindy had replaced my numchucks with swords.

We both jump as we hear a car horn honking from outside. "You ready?" I ask, slipping my hand into Mindy's.

"Nope," she says. "But let's go and kill this cunt."

I smiled at her but it quickly disappeared as we stepped out of the warehouse and into the breezy air. We walked towards the black limo skeptically; making sure it wasn't a trap. Well we knew that this whole thing was a trap but we didn't want to die in the limo or on the way to the limo. Captain Killer's head appeared out of the window. "I promise you're not going to die in or on your way to the limo." The tone of her voice sounded annoyed which made me want to laugh but considering I was about to get killed by her… well laughing didn't seem like a good idea.

We quickly got into the limo and sat down on the seats. "Want any wine? Beer? Water?" Captain Killer asked. Mindy and I both shook our heads in response, knowing that it was probably poisoned.

"When we get there you two will be greeted by my body guards. Since Mindy has you, Dave, I will have my body guards. You guys will have to get through three of them, a maze, and an obstacle course before you come to me."

"Why can't we just kill you now?" Mindy asked her voice laced with hostility.

"Well, there is a person sitting in the passenger side in the front seat with a gun aimed at Dave. So if you try anything, he'll get his brains blown out!" Captain Killer laughed lightly before taking another sip from her glass that was filled with wine.

Ten minutes of awkward tension came over us before we finally reached our destination. "We are here." Captain announced, stating the obvious. "I wish you guys both good luck." She smiled at me and leaned down, whispering in my ear, "My guards have been given orders to make sure you live. You will soon be with me my love."

I rolled my eyes as she left the limo. Mindy and I followed and as we stepped out from the car, we were greeted by a plain room. White walls and absolutely no furniture filled the room that gave off a calming aura. Cameras were placed in the corners and a door was ahead of us.

I took Mindy's hand in my own for my own sake. She was my anchor in this. I know that it was silly to be scared considering they wanted Mindy dead and not me but I was losing my mind. Ever since Mindy had "died" and then returned my head had been buzzing with confusion. I couldn't tell what was reality and what wasn't anymore. All I wanted was to live a normal happy life with my girlfriend but ever since I put on my suit, all this danger had become the new normal for me. So I take back about what I said about wanting "normal happy life with my girlfriend" because I know that that's never ever going to happen. Now all I want is Mindy.

I spun her around so that she was facing me and pressed my lips firmly against hers. Our lips moved in sync and her hands tangled themselves in my curls. "I love you." I said in between kisses.

She pulled away. "I love you too."

"Ready?" I asked, taking her hand in mine once again.

"As I'll ever be." Mindy whispered.

Mindy's POV

I felt like I was on drugs or something. Daddy had always told me to control my fear but what I was feeling right now was ten times worse than fear. My knees were weak and my legs felt like Jell-O. My heart pounded rapidly in my chest and I could hear it. A ringing sensation filled my ears and my breath was rapid. I felt like I was floating in midair. The only thing that seemed real was Dave.

I turned the knob to the wooden door and emerged into the next room. It was pitch black. My breath quickened and I felt a panic attack coming on. Dave's grip on my hand tightened and I screamed as a loud boom filled the air. I quickly pulled out my double bladed sword and stood back to back with Dave. It was a silent agreement; I protect his back and he protects mine.

For a split second, the lights flash on and I see two men coming straight towards me. "Min, keep your back touching mine," Dave orders. "There's one guy over here coming towards me."

"Two over here," I reply as the lights flash on again. They get closer and closer with each flash and soon their right in front of me. I don't have time to study their faces because the flashes keep getting quicker. The men are armed with swords. I quickly duck, almost getting beheaded. "What the fuck?" I ask allowed, wondering how we are supposed to kill them quickly while it's practically in the dark.

Then a memory comes flooding to me.

…

"Daddy I'm scared," I whispered into the dark. I moved my hands out in front of me, trying to find the wall.

"Suck it up baby doll. I won't let them hurt you. Did you find the wall yet?" his muffled voice asks in my ear.

I bit my lip and finally my hands touch something cold and hard. "Yes," I mutter.

"Okay, now give yourself a second to let your eyes adjust to the darkness," he says.

"But what if a situation comes up where I don't have a second?" I asked.

"Then keep your back to the wall baby doll. Use your ears and listen for any signs that you can to figure out where they might be. For example, their breathing, when they step; everyone has their weakness, just make sure you find theirs before they find yours."

"What's mine?" I asked curiously.

"Compassion. You don't have very many people in your life. It's mainly just me so I guess I'm your weakness honey bunny. But that's okay because you're mine."

…

I swing my sword at the figure that is finally coming into shape in front of me as my eyes adjust. Daddy's no longer alive so I guess I can take that away from my weaknesses. Dave's back bumps against mine and I grin knowing that Dave is my only weakness and that Captain Killer won't harm him because she likes him. So my weakness is safe and all I need to worry about is saving my own ass.

Dave's breathing is loud and uneven, breaking my concentration. "Shut the fuck up Dave!" I yell as I behead one of the figures in front of me. "You're breathing too loudly!"

I hear him laugh and shout back, "Sorry!"

"Die you dumb fuck!" I scream before throwing my sword into the other guys' stomach.

"My two guys are dead!" I yell at Dave.

"Still working on this one." I hear him mutter.

I retrieve my sword and find Dave. I listen closely and hear the guy step back and take a deep breath. "Found you." I mutter before taking out my butterfly knife and throwing it at him. I hear him scream and a sweet laughter escapes my lips. "I've been itching to get some blood on my hands." I state, giggling. The lights flash on and I retrieve my knife from the guys' brain.

"Well done." A voice says. "I didn't expect you guys to finish so quickly. The next challenge will be harder than this one though. Continue through the door to your left."

Dave looks at me and I grin. "Let's go kick some ass Kick Ass!"

(A/N: So I had about ten pages written out for this chapter and I was still writing but I thought it would be too much for one chapter so I cut some out and I'll try to post another part of it tomorrow. I feel all sick right now so I'm going to be in a hibernation type thing and just like write eat and sleep! So hopefully another chapter will be up by tomorrow or Sunday. I'm really excited to finish this story up for two reasons: one) I already have the first chapter to my new KA fic written up and it will be published after I finish this fic and two) I really like how I'm going to end it even though you guys may not. Oh and by the way there's probably going to be at least four more chapters after this one because the next chapter will have the maze/obstacle course, then the duel with Captain Killer, then the court and then the epilogue. I may have more but I don't know. So review maybe?)
