Forbidden Love.[Book 2]

The Gala : Chapter 6

Damian's POV

          It's been around a few hours and Kate is still out cold. It's about 2 o'clock in the morning. I was training until i heard a thud from Kate's room. I quickly rushed over to her room, to find her sitting straight up. She jumped from my sudden appearance.

          "Where am I?" She suddenly spat out. " Uh.. The Batcave" I assured nervously. "Oh not you guys" She sighed. "Were trying to help you. Tell me everything they did to you..." I explained calmly. "And why should I trust you?" She scoffed.

          "Look your not who you think you are... Your real name is Katherine Noelle Kyle. also known as Kate. I tested your blood and...well it's a match." I claimed. " and I should believe you?" she grunted. " I'll show you." I say calmly holding my hand out to help her up."pff I don't need your pity" she rejected and smacked my hand away.

         When she got down from the bed, she winced. Probably from her leg still being a bit tender.  When i showed her, her face went from anger to surprise. " Is this a joke?" She asked still looking shocked. "No, would you like to see your room?" I questioned. She gave me a nod, and i ushered my hand so she would follow. 

          I slowly opened the door that hasn't been opened since Kate's death. A loud creek could be heard and I turned the light on. Her eyes quickly scan the room. Then her eyes locked on the pictures on her wall. One of them was with everyone of my annoying brother's plus me. Then one with just Dick, and another With Jason. Then there was one framed picture on her dresser that caught her eye.

          It was one of her hugging me... Her eyes started to fill up with tears. But she refused to show emotion and quickly put the picture back down. " *cough* So uh there's a Valentine's Day Gala tomorrow night... and I was wondering if you would want to go with me.... you know.. Just so you can get to know everyone." I stuttered.

          " Um... It's not like I have anything else better to do"  she quoted. Ok Just dress nice tomorrow night so you set a good impression." I say nervously. " Ok Fine."  She sighed." Ok I guess you should get some sleep" I say pointing to her bed.

          " oh uh yea" She whipped her head around looking at her bed. Then I just turned around and left.

Kate's POV

          I decided to keep examining the room. "I couldn't have been this close with the bat brats before my death" I thought to my self. I looked over at the vanity that have various makeup products lotion's and perfumes. I inspected everyone of them... They were some what dusty.

          I looked through the walk in closet and everything seemed to be untouched. I gathered some clean clothes, I wobbled over to the master bathroom, and turned the shower on. I inspected my thigh carefully unwrapping  it.  I cringed at the sight. There was dry blood covering the upper half of my leg. and under all of that dry blood was stitches.

          A chill went down my spine before i finally decided to make my way into the shower.   I washed away all the dirt, dry blood, and the few leaves and sticks that managed to stick in my hair.After i got out i decided to play around with the various lotions I had plastered across my vanity. 

          There were so many different kinds.. I Just couldn't choose one! So the mango pineapple lotion went on my left arm, The Strawberry kiwi went on my right arm, The Warm vanilla sugar one went on my left leg, and the sugar rose one went on my right leg.

I put on a grey sports bra with some black spanks and I was about to head off to bed, until my door was opened. "Oh my gosh it smells like a salon in here! what did you do Kitten?" Jason moaned with nappy hair. I pointed over to the vanity and he chuckled. "You know... Kate never used just one so she always used them all. Your starting to act like your old self kitten" He snickered then left.

          "What does he mean, starting to act like my old self?" I thought. as i laid in my bad and pulled the covers over me. " Holy s*it! This bed is so comfy!" I thought. then i soon dozed off to sleep dreaming about how the Gala would go tomorrow.

~~-- Time Skip to Right Before the Gala--~~

          The Gala was supposed to start at 8:00 and it was about 6:30 now. I figured that that was plenty of time to get ready.I walked into my closet and started looking through the dresses until i found the perfect one. I settled on a silk red dress that went to my knees. 

          I tried it on and it fit perfectly. I went over to may vanity and I sat down on the chair provided. I started to do my make up. A neutral eye shadow with a little black eye liner.I put on some blush and finished it off with some red lipstick. Then i curled my hair and pinned my hair out of my face with a red bow matching the color of my dress. I found some red flats and I slipped those on.

          I had to many perfumes to choose from...and I didn't want to use all of them either. So i did the process of elimination. I eventually settled on the one 'Midnight Sky' and I applied a little on my wrists and a little on my neck.

          I looked over at my clock and it was 7:45. I decided to do some last minute touch ups before Damian would come to get me. About 10 minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and it was Damian standing there in a black suit with a red tie. His jaw dropped in awe. he then shook his head. "Hey so... ready to go? guests are arriving.." he smiled.

          We walked around getting greeted by everyone every now and then. We eventually made our way to the ball room. So uh...Want to dance?" Damian shook nervously holding his hand out. "Just this once..." I smirked and i grabbed his hand.

          "I apologize in advance it I step on you" I snicker into his ear." So do I" He whispered back. He put his hands on my waist and i wrapped my arms around his neck. We stared into each others eyes for what felt like eternity. He decided to make the move and lean in for a kiss. I started to lean back. But then I gave in and I melted into the kiss.

          But not long after..every thing i saw went blurry, and white... and I could't move.
