CHAPTER 23

Charlie and company are staring at Kindra.

CHARLIE

WHOA! What the hell happen to her?!

FRANK

There's something I got to tell you guys. She-

Kindra is directly in Frank's face after he blinks and his eyes widen.

FRANK

(SHIT! She's too fast for me to track!)

Charlie, Candice, and Cindy lost track of Kindra.

CHARLIE

Where the hell she go?!

They all look around until Cindy spots Kindra directly in front of Frank.

CINDY

THERE SHE IS!

Charlie and Candice looks in the direction Cindy points toward and sees Kindra in front of Frank.

CANDICE

FRANK!

CHARLIE

(Now way! How did she get there without any of us noticing?!)

Kindra puts her index finger on Frank's lips while she still has an evil-like smile on her face.

KINDRA

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. There's no need to tell them about me, Frank.

Kindra quickly punches Frank in the stomach while her finger is still on his lips. He coughs up blood and is about to fall to his knees, but Kindra held him up.

KINDRA

I CAN JUST SHOW THEM INSTEAD!

Kindra kicks Frank on the side of his head, causing him to fly off the top of City hall and onto the street below.

CHARLIE and CANDICE

FRANK!

Kindra looks at Charlie and company.

KINDRA

I'm not finished playing yet!

As Kindra licks her lips, Cindy aims her pistol at Kindra.

CINDY

 LET'S DANCE, BITCH!

She fires multiple rounds at Kindra, but Kindra is easily avoiding the bullets by slightly moving her body left and right.

CINDY

She's way too fast!

She pulls the trigger, but the gun clicks.

CINDY

FUCK! I'm out of bullets!

She looks down and reaches into her pockets to get more ammunition. She reloads her gun and aims her gun, but Kindra is nowhere to be found.

CINDY

Where'd she go?!

Kindra reappears behind Cindy.

KINDRA

Behind you.

Kindra chops Cindy in the back of her neck. She passes out and falls to the ground, dropping her pistol in the process.

CHARLIE

CINDY!

Charlie gets angry and charges toward Kindra.

CHARLIE

YOU ARE GOING TO PAY!

CANDICE

WAIT!

Kindra disappears and reappears behind Charlie. Afterwards, she chops him in the back of the neck.

CHARLIE

But...when did she...

Charlie passes out and falls to the ground.

KINDRA

One to go.

Kindra looks at Candice and Candice starts to sweat.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

CANDICE

(nervous)

(There's no way I can keep up with her speed.)

Kinda and Candice are staring each other down.

CANDICE

Fuck it! YOLO!

Candice charges toward Kindra and throws a punch, but Kindra stops her punch with the palm of her hand.

CANDICE

WHAT?!

Kindra quickly pulls Candice toward herself and grabs Candice by the neck. Candice is struggling to break free.

KINDRA

(disappointed)

This isn't fun.

Kindra slowly lifts Candice in the air, choking her.

KINDRA

You disappoint me, Candice? You could've been like me if you hadn't escaped. I bet you're feeling pretty regretful, huh? Well don't worry. The regret that you're feeling is going to be gone real soon.

Kindra starts squeezing Candice's throat. Candice is struggling even harder as the pain increases. Seconds later, she stops moving and Kindra feels something touching her.

KINDRA

Huh?

She looks down and sees Charlie on the ground, holding onto her ankle.

KINDRA

You want to play some more?

CHARLIE

I...told you before...I'm never...giving up...

Kindra starts laughing and releases Candice, causing Candice to fall to the ground. Kindra kicks Charlie's hand off her ankle.

KINDRA

Haven't you heard the saying, kid..."Never say never."

She kicks Charlie in the stomach and he coughs up blood.

ALBERT

What did I tell you?

KINDRA

I know. I'm just playing around with him.

Kindra picks Charlie up by his shirt and starts dragging him to Albert. Candice slowly opens her eyes and see Kindra dragging Charlie. She reaches her hand out toward Charlie.

CANDICE

Ch...Char...lie...

Kindra drops Charlie in front of Kindra.

KINDRA

Here you go.

ALBERT

Excellent. And just in time too.

Albert kneels down beside Charlie and takes off Charlie's eye patch.

ALBERT

 I'm going to be taking that eye of yours now. Not to worry though, it will only hurt a lot.

Albert reaches his hand toward Charlie's left eye, but Charlie grabs Albert's arm.

CHARLIE

Dad...please...

ALBERT

Being stubborn will get you nowhere. Now release me.

Albert removes Charlie's hand off of his arm and grabs Charlie's left eye, pulling it out  of his eye socket

CHARLIE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Charlie places his hands over his left eye socket. There is blood coming from it. Candice starts crying after watching what had happened.

CANDICE

 CHARLIE!

Albert stands up with Charlie's left eye in his hand.

ALBERT

Yes. I finally got what I wanted.

Albert pulls out a remote and presses a button on it. The machine behind them opens up to reveal a seat inside of it. He begins to walk toward the machine.

ALBERT

Now you can kill him.

KINDRA

With pleasure.

CANDICE

No...

Kindra raises her foot, preparing to stomp Charlie's head in.

CANDICE

No...

Kindra brings her foot down with great force behind it.

CANDICE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Suddenly, Frank comes from out of nowhere and punches Kindra in the face. She flies backwards, but regains her balance. She lands on her hands and feet, but is still sliding backwards. Frank quickly grabs Charlie and retreats to where Candice is lying. He drops Charlie and faces toward Candice.

FRANK

Candice, are you OK?

CANDICE

Frank...I'm glad...you're OK.

Frank has a depressing look on his face.

FRANK

There's only one thing left to do. Candice...do you trust me?

CANDICE

...Yes.

FRANK

Thank you.

Frank stabs his hand into Candice's stomach. Candice is in a lot of pain and is speechless from what just happened. Frank starts giving Candice his energy. Kindra stops sliding backwards and her evil-like smile goes away.

KINDRA

Damn you, Frank! You keep getting in the way! I guess I'll have to take care of you first!

Kindra stands up and sprints toward Frank. Frank removes his hand from Candice's stomach.

FRANK

Candice, just remember one thing.

Kindra appears behind Frank.

FRANK

I'll always be with you.

Kindra kicks Frank's head off of his shoulders and Frank's head is sent flying off of City Hall while his body falls to the ground.

KINDRA

Finally got rid of that bastard! Now it's time to finish the rest of you off!

Suddenly, Candice begins to glow.

KINDRA

What?! This is impossible!

Candice's eyes close and she begins to float in the air.

KINDRA

That shot I gave you earlier should've gotten rid of what was in your body! Unless...

Kindra looks at Frank's body on the ground.

KINDRA

FRANK!

Candice slowly floats down to the ground, landing on her feet.

KINDRA

I don't care what kind of power you have!

Kindra disappears and reappears behind Candice.

KINDRA

YOU STILL WON'T MATCH UP TO ME!

Kindra goes to kick Candice in the head, but Candice blocks it with her forearm.

KINDRA

WHAT?!

Candice grabs Kindra's leg and swings Kindra around before slamming her to the ground.

KINDRA

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Kindra quickly jumps to her feet and jumps away from Candice. She has blood running down her face. Candice begins to slowly open her eyes and, once fully opened, her pupils revealed to be blue.
