Gotham City, Carolines Aptmt.
Tuesday Dec 29 8:45 p.m.

Ivy

I let out a sigh of relief. "Fancy falling into your arms." I smirked and he let me down on the concrete.

"What were you thinking?" He whispered angrily. "You would have died!"

"I wanted to make sure that you didnt make your second identity just to save Caroline. She's not the only girl who might ever need saving. Did you ever think of that?"

"She's not the only person I've saved Ivy. I've protected many hospitals and banks, saved children..."

"But no one knows it was you. Doesn't that bother you? That you're constantly in hiding?"

"No."

"Well everyone could know with just a slip of my tounge. Or Nicoles, or Cat's."

He glared at me. "You wouldn't dare."

"Who knew your pretty, warm eyes could look so cold?" My fingers traveled from his shoulder to his neck.

"I don't like you like that, Ivy. Now tell me what you want."

"A fancy red convertable, a handsome superhero boyfriend..."

"Ivy!!!"

"Fine." I rolled my eyes. "I want you to tell her who you are."

"Whats in it for you?" He knew I didn't care about her, it was always about me.

"Once she knows you lied, she'll stop dreaming about you and you'll want to be with me." I said slyly.

"She wouldn't be angry with me why would you say that! She would love me even more when she finds out who I am."

"How cute. Girls don't like to be lied to. I should know, you lie to me every time you say you don't like me."

"Seriously Ivy I'm not interested. I love her. She's what keeps me alive."

I rolled my eyes again, this time in disgust. "Gross."

"What else would you get from me telling her?"

"Well. She would want to know what else you have been keeping from her, then she would agree to the request of joining me, Cat, and Nicole."

"You think so? I can't see her like that. Like you."

"If that was supposed to be an insult, you should know that I dont care. I don't get insulted. Anyway, yes I think she would have to agree to the offer. You can't protect her forever. Every day Gotham gets more wicked, there are countless villains out there. You have to know your limits. And there are so many secrets here, what you both could find out could kill you."

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asked but before I could answer, I heard the signal and needed to leave.

I sprinted through the streets, constantly checking to make sure no one was following me. When I reached the woods it was almost impossible to see through the tall tree trunks.

"Nicole!" I yelled. "Nicky can you hear me??"

I tripped on something on the ground but I couldn't see it until I knelt to the ground. I was horrified at what I saw. It was a human body. It looked vaguely familiar...

The puffy blonde hair and ghostly white skin-- my breath was shaking it was Caitlin, Carolines old friend.

I rolled the body over to face me. Her eyes were closed and there were dark circles around them. Her face seemed to be painted white. My eyes traveled to her mouth. There was red paint shaped like an over-exaggerated smile, like a creepy clown at a circus. It was horrifying. I shook her, "Caitlin wake up! Who did this?"

I heard crackling leaves on the ground and my heart raced as I looked up.

"So. Sorry." She, the girl whose appearance was totally different that Caitlin's with her dark skin and curly brown hair, the girl I knew well, said. "Didnt. Want. To." Her voice cracked. "He. Made. Me. Do. It."

Nicole knelt down over Caitlins body with me. "Pretty. Right?" She smiled horrifically at me and I could have sworn she was possessed.
