A/N: Yay! My very first fan fiction! It's my first time so sorry if there are mistakes and please leave your two cents as I really hope I can improve. I don't own the characters of KickAss (there are none in this chapter). Enjoy!
Chapter 1: That Friday night
It was a peaceful night, the air was cool and the streets were quiet on a Friday night. I was in my room, doing my history homework. Seriously, who could remember all these facts in the book? I guess I'm not the "memorizing" kind of person, I prefer understanding. I bet you are wondering why on earth am I doing homework on a Friday night. Well, finals are in three weeks time.
I let out a sigh of relief after I finished it, closed the book and "Madison Tapley" came to view. That's my name by the way, Madison Tapley, but everyone calls me "Maddie". I'm 16 this year, an average 5'5", I have brown eyes and straight shoulder-length dark brown hair.
I brought out my chemistry notes and started studying it. As I was reading about transition elements I saw something swept through the side of my eye. I glanced out the window, and I saw four men dressed in black, contrast to the quiet, slow paced street as they were running at full speed to the grocery shop down the road. Why do they want some grocery so desperately?
They got my full attention as I heard sudden screams from the grocery shop. It was not loud, but there were definitely screams and I suspect a robbery. My heart quickened at the thought of a robbery, there were never a robbery around this area. I couldn't just stay here and do nothing! There are good and friendly people! I couldn't get caught out from the house too; my parents who work night shifts will kill me!
I kept looking out the window; no one was there to check the grocery shop. After a few minutes of hesitation, I wore my black jacket with my short pants, scooped up my hair up into a ponytail and clipped up my fringe. I even wore my oversized sunnies so that my neighbours will not recognize me and report to my parents. I grabbed three blades of mine just in case before I climb out from the window and descended the ladder, firstly because I live in an apartment and secondly my neighbours will know my escape if I use the front door.
I walked quietly, careful not to get any attention. The store was unusually quiet from the outside, there were usually some chatter about on goings in life. I bravely pushed open the door and it was a sight to behold: around twenty familiar faces were in the shop, squatting down and hands on their heads, face filled with fear. And there they were, four men wearing ski mask, each pointing a sharp, big knife to the people in the store. All of them turned their heads towards me. It was getting quite awkward and embarrassing yet fear started to creep in me as one of the men started charging to me.
I quickly took a blade from my pocket and the man laughed. Well, I don't blame him; it is after all a stationery blade. I did a high kick and kicked the knife while the man was still laughing about the blade. His knife landed on the floor, my next door neighbour who is my friend, Ryan, pushed the knife so it glided on the floor and reached my feet. I picked it up and murmured a little thanks. Ha! Not so funny now is it? His face fell and he and another robber was charging towards me while the other two were loading their bags with money from the cash register. The two men was going to grab me at the same time, I kicked one in the stomach hard while I twisted the hand of the knife-less one. The bone cracking sound was heard and he shouted unmanly. Thank God I learn taekwondo. I kicked the knife away from the one I just kicked at the stomach as he was on the floor clutching his stomach. Since he was unarmed, a man then used what it looked like a chain and tied the robber's hands tightly.
The knife-less robber used his untwisted hand to throw a punch at me but I grabbed his fist along with his twisted hand with one hand and pointed his own knife at his neck with my other hand. He stopped struggling and the same man tied his hands. The other two robbers were just finished unloading the money and opened their mouth in disbelief when they saw the other robbers on the floor, helpless.
I threw one of my blade to one of the robber's hand and another blade to the other robber's hand. The two blades successfully pierced their hands and stucked there, they screamed in pain while fresh red blood started trickling down. I was amazed of my high accuracy I got from archery class years ago.
"Jimmy! She is a fucking assassin!" one of the robbers shouted. "Lets get outta here!"
The other robber nodded in agreement, he looked like he was speechless and was looking in awe at the blade stucked in his hand. They both ran out from the counter hurriedly.
" Don't think about it." I said threatenly while I held the knife in front of their faces.
They looked at the knife, scared and looked around. They were clearly outnumbered. At that moment, I heard police sirens.
"FREEZE!" Three policemen shouted while they rushed into the shop, guns held high. They looked speechless. "I thought I heard noises."
"They're settled." I said to them while I walked out from the shop. I walked back to my apartment carefully to make sure no one was following and none of my neighbours know I sneaked out. I crept quietly into my room. I took off the sunnies and my jacket, I put on my pyjamas and I hopped onto bed because I was tired. I smiled to myself, not a single flash of reorganisation swept through everyone's face and I saved them.
