Dance Vigilantes

Chapter 23: Motocross

Brynn’s POV

Everyone was sound asleep in the ‘British sector’ except for me. I can hear the gentle snores of the girls and the very loud snores of JoJo on my left and Mackenzie on my right, with the latter, spooning on me. But it wasn’t the snores that was keeping me awake. It was thoughts about the competition and more thoughts about being Starlight. Mindy had said I’m a fast learner and I was able to polish my skills much better when it comes to being a vigilante. But...there were some factors that kept me up. I unceremoniously took off Kenzie’s arm around me. She was a deep sleeper anyway, and made my way outside for the kitchen. I took a leftover paper cup and poured myself some water from the water dispenser. The cool water definitely did help me in calming my thoughts down

“Something keeping you awake?” A voice said that startled me and made me sputter out my drink. I turn to the direction of the voice to see Mindy leaning in the archway, smirking, probably from me spitting my drink

“Could you not startle me like that?! I swear I had a small heart attack back there” I said

“Well I am known for being a sneaky bitch...anyway, I know something’s keeping you up. Talk to me” Mindy said with the last part in a serious tone. I also swear that sometimes, Mindy’s psychic

“Back at the party...when all of you were wearing revealing clothes -”

“Wait, is this a sort of “I wish I had a fucking body hit like that scenario””

“What? That’s not what I had in mind!”

“Well you did look hot earlier too. Nice abs for a 13 year old by the way”

“Mindy!” I hissed

“Okay, okay, Jeez have some humor will you? Anyway, your point is?”

“When I all saw you with those swimwear, I saw scars...scars in a lot of your bodies...Mindy if I continue being Starlight, will I get those scars all iver my body too?” I asked in a worried tone. Mindy’s expression was stern yet her eyes display sympathy, as if looking at someone who just had a harsh realization of life

“Brynn...I was Hit Girl most of my life. Even longer when Dave started as Kick Ass. You don’t just get bruises or be invincible in battle. Some of us got stabbed, shot, run over, you name it! It’s those we protect and what we stand for that kept us alive. Sacrifices must be made for peace and justice, some not very good sacrifices. If you wish to back out now, you can do so and carry on with your life but should you proceed, you have to accept the truth that you will have constant physical and emotional pain lurking around you..” Mindy said in a stiff yet gentle manner.

I started thinking about it. I’d have those scars..and a lot of danger around me. Was I scared? Heck yes! But then again, Mindy’s right about sacrifices.

“I told you Mindy, I choose Starlight to protect those who are weak and my loved ones who were all in danger because of an incident that happened to us. I may feel fear about the dangers being a vigilante hold but I let bravery overcome fear. I won’t back out on being Starlight. I will continue and be a better protector to everyone” I stated firmly to Mindy, who was now smirking again

“I guess my surprise for tomorrow won’t be ruined after all..your heart’s in the right place kid. Just a word of advice, just prepare for the worse, always. Do what you think will be good for everyone”

“Well..thanks for that advise Mindy. Really appreciate it, and wait what surprise?” I said with a smirk and raised eyebrow

“You’ll see. Get some shut eye now. You’ll need it for tomorrow” Mindy said as she walked back to a door in the first floor, probably her and Dave’s room. Who knew you could just have a normal chat with the notorious Hit Girl?
