Super Secret~ A Villain's Story

32

I went flying out of the house, right through a wall and sent rolling through the mud, before having slammed right into a pole, breaking it two. The sound of rain muffled the exasperated whimpers that escaped me as I struggled to my feet. She popped up beside me and kicked me in the gut sending me flying again before forcing me in the air. She blinked and next thing I knew she had me by the throat.

"I always wanted to ask... Did ever feel any remorse?" She pushed me against the wall pressing her knife into my cheek. I could feel the trickle of blood falling and I narrowed my eyes. "Did you even know their names?"

"I didn't kill anyone." 

"No... not with your own hands anyway." She went to stab me and the moment she was no longer touching me I blinked as far away as I could, not that it would do much with her. "Stand still and die why don't you!" She threw her knife at me creating an explosion to propel the knife even faster. So fast I couldn't dodge. It struck me right in the side.

"CAS..." Logan froze up as the girl cracked her neck. He was terrified. So was I.

"He was 15, you know. My brother..." She blinked right on top of my yanking her knife out and I cried out in pain falling onto my knees. She pushed me onto my back with her foot as she dug her heel into my chest. "My brother was 15. He was smart. He was brave. And because of you, he's dead. All because you had to piss Bloodborne off."

"So Bloodborne them... Not Me!"

"HE KILLED THEM BECAUSE OF YOU!" This intense pressure slammed into me and I couldn't breathe. "He killed my mother. He killed my father. He almost killed me. He would have killed me." The pressure got worse and it took everything I had not to pass out. I looked over to see Logan pulling out his cell and I frowned. He narrowed his eyes and I watched as the cell phone started to break apart. Bits and pieces flew around him as it reformed into something else. He pointed it at her and my eyes went wide. "HE KILLED CA..." 

This blast of energy hit her right in the hand, burning her and causing her to drop her knife. She spun around and grabbed Logan by the neck so fast I couldn't even blink to save him. His eyes went wide as he fell to his knees clutching his stomach as his shirt slowly started to turn red.

He's dead.  Logan's head hit the ground as he stared unblinkingly at me with tears in his eyes. I slowly staggered to my feet swaying in the rush of wind that erupted around me as I just stared at Logan completely numb. You lost another person you loved. Cassie laughed as she pulled the knife out of him. He didn't even move. He didn't even feel it... He... How many more are you going to let die?

The wind exploded around me in an instant. Cassie spun around in shock seeing me just standing there staring... smiling... laughing. Ladies and Gentlemen... He's snapped. Her eyes went dark as I slowly started to walk towards. Every step I took shook the ground to its core, leaving tiny explosions in its wake. She watched me intently until... I blinked. 

I roundhouse kicked her right into the dirt. Behind you... She blinked and I dodged right avoiding a knife to the back. I sent a blast into her chest and sent you flying up, only to blink above her and send her hurtling back down with an explosion. She hit the ground hard, basically bouncing back into the air, and I blinked again drop kicking her back into the mud. She started to cough and I smiled. I hope she swallowed some of that dirt. 

Back up! She spun around so fast I almost didn't see her. She lashed out with her knife and I had to jump back to avoid it. Next thing I knew, she blinked and had herself wrapped around me in a fucking hurricarana type thing, slamming my head into the ground. She grabbed the collar of my shirt and punched me. I could hear my nose break, but I couldn't feel it. I just laughed as if nothing in this world was real. 

"Do you really think you're the only one that's lost, anybody?" Her eyes darkened as I just kept laughing. "What about everyone that died in the attack on Andersons Papers? What about Virgil Anderson, who lost not only his family's business but his family? What about me?!" She pushed her knife against my throat but I never stopped laughing. "Go ahead. I dare you. I've lost everyone ever actually loved. You'd be doing me a favor." She narrowed her eyes and I fell back in the dirt staring at nothing in particular. "Your brother... did you get to say goodbye?"

"Don't you..."

"I didn't." Her eyes went wide as she froze in place seeing the tears fall from my eyes. "My little sister... She called me, begged me, to come to save her. But I was too late... They never found her body. She was only ten at the time. We both were kids. I... It wasn't my fault." She slowly started to pull back but I was lost in my own mind to see. "I didn't kill them. They were my family. It wasn't my fault."

"Deceit?" Her hands were shaking as she stood up still just watching me.

"I couldn't save them. My own family... My mother... Step-father... I listened to that voicemail so many times just so I could her voice. Just so I didn't feel alone. I don't even know what he did to her. Nicky... I..." She dropped her knife and fell to her knees wide-eyed and tearful.

"Cassidy?" I looked over at her in confusion and she just stared at her hands as they shook. "C-Cassie... It's not... It can't be. He said... He said you died. He told me you were dead. Father he..." Her face fell instantly as she looked over at Logan. Logan... "I thought you were dead. My own brother... was Super Secret."

"Nicole!" She smiled brightly as she stood back up slowly backing away. That's when I saw Virgil. Of course, he followed me... Wait! "VIRGIL DON'T!" Nickie spun around just as Virgil fired a gun. I blinked over to her just in time to catch her before she fell. No... NO... NO! Not again. I can't lose her again! Her breathing was ragged and non-existent as she shakily held her hand to my cheek.

"I'm sorry." I shook my head and held her hand tightly as her eyes slowly shut. 

"Don't be. Say hi to mom for me." Her breathing stopped and I felt her go limp as the tears fell harder from my eyes. 

"LOGAN!" I saw Virgil run past me as I just held onto my sister for the last time. "CASSIDY, I NEED YOU!"
