love and hate part sixteen (by lily! dark night love story gone horribly wrong!)
lol! im back!
There was a soft knock on the front door about nine in the morning the next day. Anna was in the kitchen fixing up a cup of tea, coffee made her sick. She was wearing a long white dressing gown with flared sleeves, Anna told Alfred to get some sleep as he looked too tired to work. She walked down the hall with her gown fluttering behind her.
Anna opened the door and on the other side was Dave who had a backpack slung over his shoulder and a black helmet with a red robin on top. “Hey Dave, come in!” he walked in looking all around at the manor. “Would you like a cup of tea? I was just making some for me while Bruce sleeps.” He followed her into the kitchen and sat down on a high stool at the bench. He nodded his head and Anna pulled out another cup.
“Once I get dressed, I’ll show you to your room. I knew you weren’t going to get any sleep so I prepared a bed for you and...” she said as she poured boiling tea into the cups. Her sleeve slipped down showing her cuts across her wrists, Dave noticed this and jumped up. He grabbed her arm and moved the sleeve completely off and gasped. Anna tried to cover it up but he had already seen them.
“Is Bruce hurting you? Cause if he is...” Anna pulled her arm away.
“No! No! No! I did this to myself.... it’s a long story and I’d rather not talk about it.” She said desperately. Dave was not convinced; he stared at her intensely hoping the truth would come out if he stared long enough. She finished making the tea and she pushed the mug over to Dave and left hers on the bench. “I’ll be back soon. I just have to wake up Bruce and get changed.” She turned to the cupboard and pulled out a large cookie jar with a picture of a violet rose on the side.
She placed it on the bench and smiled sweetly at Dave and walked up to Bruce’s room. She opened the door quietly and snuck into Bruce’s bed and wrapped her arms around him. He felt her cool hands as they touched his bare chest, and he could also feel her cuts. He rolled over and hugged her tightly, not wanting to let her go again. He opened his eyes and found her with tears in her own; he dried the tears with his thumb and kissed her lightly.
“What's the matter Anna? Why are you crying?” he asked softly. She buried her head into his chest and cried. Just cried her eyes out. Bruce stroked her hair and looked down at Anna who refused to look up at him. “Anna...” he lifted her chin up to make her face him. “Tell me”
“Dave Grayson is here.” She said softly trying to change the subject. Bruce looked at her questioning but he just got out of bed and pulled on a pair of black baggy tracksuit pants. Anna sat up and tried her tears as Bruce pulled on a grey singlet. She got up and walked to the door and paused. “Gotham needs a hero, and Dave needs a guide. Maybe you can be both, but I won’t fit in anywhere.”
Anna closed the door behind her and walked up to her room and threw herself on her bed and cried some more. She felt around her neck and lifted the ring up to her face reading the words on the inside. “Miss Kyles are you ok?” asked Dave who was standing at her door watching Anna cry. Anna quickly got up and wiped the tears out of her eyes and forced a smile.
“Yes Dave, I'm fine. I recently came out of a coma and well, me and Bruce had a fight just before I did. And please, call me Anna. Miss Kyles is way to formal for me.” They laughed half heartedly but it was true laugher. Bruce was walking past when he heard Anna laugh. Bruce ran into the room grinning thinking she was happy again. Dave looked at Bruce thinking of what Bruce could possibly be angry at Anna for.
“Hey Dave, I’ll show you to your room as our butler....”
“....Is standing right behind you sir.” Finished Alfred smugly. Alfred ushered Dave out of the room leaving Bruce and Anna alone together. Anna tucked the ring down her dress and ran over to Bruce and into his arms. “I just want it to be like it was before.” Anna whispered hoarsely. Bruce stroked her soft hair and replied “It will be! A fresh start for the both of us. Now dry your tears, and dance my love! Dance to your heart’s content! I know you miss it!”
Anna wiped her tears off her face and grinned madly, pushing all the horrible thoughts into a small hole in the back of her mind. She took off her robe leaving her only wearing a long sleeveless white nightgown. Bruce ran over to the CD player and pushed the play button, soft ballet music began to play and Anna instantly started dancing. She twirled around and danced over to Bruce and grabbed his hand pulling him into the dance.
He placed his hand on her waist and the other in her hand, and Anna picked up her skirt with her free hand. They spun around, dancing and laughing until they fell onto the bed staring at each other. Bruce smiled evilly and pulled her under the blankets where she broke into a peel of giggles. I'm back! she thought smugly and happily.
Anna opened the door and on the other side was Dave who had a backpack slung over his shoulder and a black helmet with a red robin on top. “Hey Dave, come in!” he walked in looking all around at the manor. “Would you like a cup of tea?
