"Doc how is she doing?" Mikey asked. "She's fine Michael, but lay off her a little her body can't take much more." "Don't tell me what to do!" Mikey said storming out. "Ugh teenage problems." Courtney sat at her window hoping Ace would come soon. It was storming oh so she highly doubted he would come. "Courtney! come with me." Mikey yelled grabbing her wrist as basically pulling her down the stairs. "What do you want?" Courtney asked. "You!" Mikey pulled her down the stairs and into a small room. He threw he against a machine and strapped her arms and legs down. He arms were above her head hocked in with chains and he legs were together hooked into the floor. "What are you doing Mikey?" Courtney asked worried. "It's time you were more respectful to your brother and others. Let's see you have punched me in the nose, called me names, almost killed me. And the biggest one of all you killed mom and dad." Mikey said with a smirk. "Let's see ill set it on 1 for name calling." Intense pain raced through her body. He was shocking and putting back the memories she deeded so much. It could seriously mess up someone. "Ah!" Courtney screamed in pain. "And now let's set it on 4 for punching me." he pulled the switch and even more bad memories went into her mind along with a lot of pain. "For almost killing me, we'll that's a 7." Again he pulled the switch and it was so intense she was bleeding. "And for killing our parents 10. goodbye sister." Mikey said pulling the switch. The pain was so great she was bleeding not only from her arms but from her mouth.
Mikey undid her chains and let her gal onto the ground. She was not moving. "You won't last anymore." Mikey said walking away and making sure nobody saw him. He walked back up to his meeting room to find Sara standing there. She looked even more beautiful than ever. Her brown hair was down and curly. He green eyes sparked like the moon. she wore a lace brown dress with a pair of heels. "Wow what do we have here? Mikey asked happily. "I'm Sara, I was wondering if we could talk privately if you know what I mean." Sara said. "Of coursers go to my office." Mikey said giving a thumbs up to one of the guards.
None of the guards were around Courtney's room or the main entrance. So yes you guessed it Ace, Bandit and Chris went in. Through the front door. "Okay Chris you check her room, Bandit check this floor, and I'll check the basement." Ace was ordering. "Got it!" Chris went up to Courtney's room all he saw was the blood on the walls and floors. "Oh no. he didn't he wouldn't. Ace, we've got blood." Chris said over his ear piece. "What! how much?" "Some on the walls same with the floors, and a lot of the bed." "Bandit what about you?" "Give me a min Ace!" Bandit said. You could here her beating up the guards. "Okay now no sign of her or blood anywhere." Ace walked down a spiral stair case to find a big metal door, locked.
He saw a blood trail leading to it also. "She has to be in here!" Ace said to himself. "Guys I'm going in." "Good luck. Ace broke the door after a thousand tries and a couple broken fingers. He looked around to see the big machine and a shadow in the corner. "Oh no!" Ace fused over to her side. "Don't touch her Ace." Mikey said. He pulled Courtney over to him using puppetry. "Leave her alone Mikey." Ace yelled. "Don't get angry boy you can have her after I make sure she's.. dead." Mikey said smirking and pulling out a knife. "No! you can't she's probably already dead." "We'll I've gotta be sure." without another thought Mikey stabbed the knife into her chest. "NO!" Ace yelled. "Whoops!" Mikey said walking up the stairs. Ace ran over to Courtney and picked her up.
Ace carried her out the door with Bandit, Chris, and Sara right behind him. Some of the guards looked sad and others laughed. Bandit took her and ran, since she's super fast. The others came soon behind her. They got to the camp and Bandit was doing everything she could to help her. "Common Courtney please wake up!" Bandit often said. "Ba Bandit." Courtney said barley breathing. "Courtney stay breathing." "Bandit just let me die." "Why would I let you do that!?" "because Mikey won't stop if I'm alive. I can't let you guys get hurt. I sacrificed my self so you guys could live." Bandit now had tears in her eyes. "No Courtney, I have a plan just stay breathing please." "Bandit is Courtney awake?" Ace said peeking in. "Yes but, she's worse, she doesn't want to get better." Courtney please I know you can do it, stay strong." Ace said. "Ace, I I love you." Courtney said blacking out again. "I love you too." Ace said kissing her on her lips. Although she couldn't here him it was just so sweet. And Bandit was balling her eyes out.

In Courtney's dream she could only see black. It was like a empty box that went on forever. "Hello little one, looks like you made it through. let's have some fun then." A voice from above said (Mikey). Right in front of her it showed her parents getting crushed by the truck and all the sadness and all the feast she ever had came back. It was like she was there all over again. "Make it stop please make it stop!" Courtney begged. "This is only the beginning child." Mikey said.

"Bandit she is sweating and panting real bad!" Ace yelled from the tent. "Hold on I'll get some water." Bandit yelled. When she got there Courtney was swearing and panting like she had been running. She was shaking and moving her head back and fourth. She was having a bad dream that she thought was reality. "Courtney! Courtney please wake up! Courtney!" Ace and Bandit were trying to wake her. "Ace her heart beat it... it's going crazy. It's up and down and dead for seconds and too high for another." Bandit said. "We have to wake her." "Courtney common please it's me Ace." "Ace try telling her good memories." "we'll Courtney remember when we looked into each others eyes and it felt like 'love at first sight' I think it was!" Courtney started to relax more. "We'll when you wake up and feel better we can go for a walk and have a picnic and dance, I know you love dancing.." Ace went on for awhile of what he and she would do when she awoke.
Ace had fallen asleep next to Courtney and Bandit had went back up to the tree along with Sara. "Uh, where am I?" Courtney said looking around. She couldn't see very much since her vision was blurry. "Courtney your up, are you feeling okay?" Ace asked. "Ahh!" Courtney screamed trying to back away from him as quick as she could. Ace grabbed her shoulders and just was saying "Calm down Courtney it's okay!" she just kept screaming. "What happened?" Chris said walking in. "Nothing she is just scared." Ace said. "Courtney it's oka..." "No get away from me Mikey!" Courtney yelled getting on her feet and making a run for it. Chris caught her in his arms and just held her for a second. "Chris what, why are you here with Mikey?" "Courtney that's Ace. not Mikey." Chris said turning her around to see him. "Ace!" Courtney ran and gave him a huge beat hug. She was hiding her face in his chest so he wouldn't see her crying. "Hey shh it's okay I'm here." Ace said sitting down on the bed with her.
Courtney eventually through all the tears fell asleep on Ace. And Ace fell asleep on her. "Okay I made some eggs!" Bandit said opening the tent. "Awe you guys are so cute!" she flipped out her phone a took a picture and walked back out to the others. "Ace, where are we?" Courtney asked. "In a tent." "why?" "because you were injured." "We'll I'm okay now! Now about those walks and a picnic you promised?" "Oh you here'd those um ah um." Ace said. "Oh and Ace." Courtney said starting to leave the tent. "I also here'd 'I love you'." Ace was blushing majorly. Good thing Courtney left before he started blushing.
