Mina POV
Blade was supposed to be coming back to the warehouse tonight after he had been looking all over for Whistler. He had phoned me telling me how he knew what he was supposed to do but was going to have a hard time doing it. Whistler was a vampire now, he was no longer human and therefore he was going to put Whistler out of his misery. Though Blade was getting tired, it had been 2 years since Whistler had been kidnapped and we were yet to locate him. He was going to be staying over the next couple days at the warehouse but then he'd be heading off to Romania to check out a lead.
"Think B'll do it?"
"Do what?"
"Kill Whistler"
I shrugged "I think Blade will do what he believes to be best. He's smart, he can handle himself"
"Ya..guess thats true. So pretty girl how bout you sit your pretty ass over here? We can have some fun before B comes" he smirked, taking a drag from his cigarette
I smirked "Told you already. Gotta earn that Skid Mark"
"Ah cmon! What can I do to earn ya hmm?"
"Well...first, how bout you buy me dinner, then we'll talk of other things…" I giggled
"Oh? And where would you like me to take ya Sunshine?"
"Surprise me"
"Alright. But don't complain to me if you don't like where I take ya" he chuckled
"As long as it's not some stripper joint or a weed warehouse I think I'll be fine" I smirked
"Ah damn! Thought you would like that!" he said sarcastically and laugh "Bought you a cute little outfit and everything. Thought you'd look great in one of those nurse outfits" he smirked, winking at me
I rolled my eyes "You're such a perv Scud"
"But ya love me"
"Maybe...maybe not" I smirked
"Ah cmon Babe don't be like that"
I looked over at the camera, Blade was here.
"Well too late now to do anything. Guess we'll have some time these next couple days to...get to know each other better" I smirked and walked away to greet Blade.
Next Day
"I've gotten a lead to where he might be. Just gotta check the source before heading over to Romania. Don't want to make an unnecessary trip"
"Sounds like a good plan. Is there anything you need us to do?" I asked
"No. Nothing at the moment. But Scud, I need to fix up my guns, got jammed on the last encounter"
"You got it B" Scud said as he took the gun from Blade and headed back to his work station
"As I said. I will be staying here for the next couple but then I will be gone for awhile. If you need to contact me for anything you know how Mina"
"Of course"
"So Babe, wanna take me up on that offer of taking ya out to eat?" he smirked
I shook my head "No, have something I need to do but maybe tomorrow afternoon, if you're a good boy" I giggled, grabbed my bag and headed outside.
Scud POV
Where the hell was she going anyway? She always seemed to leave at the same time every day and wouldn't tell me where she was going. Today was going to be different, today I was going to figure it out. Mina was such a mystery to me, she hardly talked about her life from before she worked with Blade.
Ahead I saw her walking across the street, hurrying before the light turned. She seemed to be in quite the hurry to get to wherever she was going. My mind started to wander. What if she was like...a stripper or some shit like that to make some money...Nah she wouldn't do that. I knew her well enough that she respected herself too much to do that. Though I'd pay to see that if it were true. I smirked, thinking about Mina in a little bikini or nurse outfit. She'd look smokin hot. My pants were getting a bit tight thinking about it and I groaned, adjusting my pants a bit. Thank god for baggy pants.
I kept following her, trying to make sure she didn't see entered a door to a building, gently closing the door behind her. I waited a few minutes before entering, and found myself in a theatre, rows of empty seats and a stage. Seeing this made me so confused. Why the fuck did she come here for?
All of a sudden lights turned on and I could hear music start. I recognized the song immediately, as Mina seemed to listen to it a lot back at the warehouse "Bring me to Life" by Evanescence. Then I saw Mina at the middle of the stage. She had changed out of her regular clothes into a pair of short black shorts that fit snugly on her ass and a loose black tank top.
As the words started in the song she started moving to it….
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Her body moved to the music, moving with graceful steps as she moved across the floor….
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Damn...never even thought of her being a dancer...now that I see this...it's hard to believe that someone with such strength could be able to do something like this….something with such grace and gentle demeanor…As the music started to speed up...so did she...
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Her feet moved so quickly it was almost hard to keep track of. If I even tried to do something like that I'd be tripping over my own two feet.
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
The intensity of the music changed again, slowing down dramatically. Her dance almost seemed to tell a story, her story….
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
As the music slowed and came to a stop I couldn't stop thinking of how amazing it was. Her graceful movements conveyed all her emotions that she seemed to keep hidden inside of her...Just incredible….
As she stopped dancing I whistled and clapped for her.
"Whoot! Holy Shit Mina that was amazing!"
She looked towards me and seem surprised, stumbling backwards and falling down on her butt. I chuckled and ran over to the stage, climbing on and going over to her, putting out a hand to help her out. She took it and I pulled her up.
"What are you doing here?" she seemed to be incredibly embarrassed, her cheeks reddening by the minute.
"Well...I was wondering what you did everyday. You seemed to be going somewhere every day the same time of day. I was curious"
"How long have you been here?"
"The whole time"
"I uh...see...then you...you saw me dance...it's...it's not that good.."
"You kidding? Fuck that was amazing!"
"You...you think so…?" she said tentively
"Fuck ya. Babe, I never knew you were so good! Usually you're just beating the shit out of stuff so it was unexpected" I chuckled
She smiled shyly, it was unlike her to be this way. Usually she was this confident woman who didn't doubt herself. Seeing this...it was just...different...not a bad different though. Meant that I knew her a lil better. She leaned up and kissed my cheek.
"You are sweet, thanks. Now why don't we walk over to the coffee shop and you can buy me a coffee?" she giggled and smiled slyly
"Hell ya, after that performance? I should buy you 20"
