"I'm not asking you to forgive me, I'm asking you to understand"- Flint Marko Spider man 3


Prologue

It felt as though my heart was beating out of my chest. the faces surrounding me cheered me on or cursed at me. I faced my opponent. probably five foot seven, 180 pounds and full of sh$@.
Here I was little old me five foot five, 115 pounds and 17 years of secret.

"On your left we have the putrid, mean, and rough Bone Saw!" the announcer pointed to the woman in front of me. she was a hefty son of a gun, and this fight was going to be unfair.
"And in this corner we have the menacing, wind seeking, Catwoman!" First off I'm in high school, second off my name was supposed to Claw Cat. ok Catwoman sounds better, but it was all my pretty mind could come up with. I put my fists up and swallowed. the crowds cheered and yelled. I'm in so much trouble for this.
"I'm gonna rip you to shreds little CATNIP!"

My eyes probably got wide, and if I was really a cat,( which trust me, I'm pretty dang close) I would cower down and hiss. this is the real world, if I did that I would most Likely be on my back. dead. She lounged for me and I front flipped over her. I turned around just as she came for me and I punched her in the face. ouch.
"I'm gonna get you for that!" yep. I highly doubt it. she ran for me again and I jumped and felt my claws retract. oh no. as I fell on her they sank deep Into her skin. blood seeped through her sports bra, and she quickly stood up. I stared into her soulless eyes, as she punched me and cursed several times. I stumbled backwards and looked around at the shock written faces of the crowd. A puddle of blood crept along the floor and the woman was taken off the mats. so I did what was best and ran away. stopping in the bathroom I looked at myself in the mirror. my eye was swollen shut, my hands had blood from the woman on them, and I was so out of breath I thought I was going to black out.

"Well I can't explain this one to Riley" Riley was my roommate and she cared deeply about me. nights I came home late with scratches, bruises, or cuts she would demand how I received them.
"I fell" that was my simple reply. you dot get swollen eyes from falling rough so I got myself in a pickle. one thing is Riley will never know what I truly am or who I truly am.. that's a mystery to all. and I like it that way. As I left the bathroom and practically ran to put the doors and into the midnight covered streets, two things ran through my head. 1. I hope that I didn't cause that woman to much damage, and 2...what the heck just happened. I peered at my blood stained hands and swallowed. after a month of having my special powers, this was the first time I've retracted my claws and put damage upon somebody. and yes maybe she did deserve it, but nobody should have to be clawed. I walked by the moonlight, but I could see all around me. I took out t phone and turned it over viewing myself in the mirror. just as I suspected my eyes were a golden yellow, and narrow, like cat eyes. I put m phone back and flipped up my hood and continued walking. as I arrived at my apartment, I stopped at the front steps and thought about my excuse. none came to mind... and it not like I can flat out tell her.
"Riley, I'm Catwoman"

Chapter 1

I shut my locker door, and walked down the hallway of midtown high, avoiding everybody. I had my hood on covering my black and blue eye and swollen lip. my hair was in a simply side braid and I walked with a dress in my step. I didn't want anybody to ask me what happened, because they always do. I don't want teachers to worry, because they always do. At least it was my last year and I then I wouldn't have to worry about people wondering how I got the injuries I got. I'll tell you most aren't from underground fights with girls who probably are all hyped up on drugs. no, I fight people who need a fight. I help the cops, but the cops don't like me and I can't blame them. as I walked to Mrs.Baker's honors language arts, some jerk bumped into me. my books went flying, but using my reflexes I caught them.
"Why you little-" these blue eyes stared into my gold eyes, and I managed to break a smile. Peter Parker was the nerd of the school, but he wasn't that bad looking.
"Hey, I'm sorry" instead of yelling nasty things at him, I smiled and choked out" its ok" he smiled and grabbed my phone which slipped out of my pocket.
"Here you go" as he handed it to me my hood fell of and I watched his happy face, go to a face of concern.
"What happened?" ok, I need a excuse and fast.
"I own a horse, down in the south, and he bucked me, no big deal" ok that was pathetic. we are nowhere near a barn or grass for that matter.
"Really? well I hope that it gets better, I'm Peter Parker by the way" I smiled as e outstretched his hand and I took it, careful not to let my claws protrude.
"Abby Graham" the bell rang and I pulled my hood on and waved goodbye to Peter as I walked I class.

************************************

"Riley! we're out of peanut butter!" I waited for a response from my roommate, but one never came.
"RileY?" I put down the empty peanut butter container and went into the living room. nothing. after checking the house thoroughly, I went Into my room and opened my closet door. my black suit hung neatly there and I changed into it, pulled on my mask and braided my hair. I opened the window and sprang into action.

Everywhere I looked I didn't see Riley, and the sun was starting to go down. I stopped my search and entered a alley. my phone started to vibrate and I took it out, but Riley's face did not show. unknown number. I clicked ignore and slipped it back in.

"HELP!" I heard the screams and desperate pleas and crept around the alley wall. there I saw Riley, pushed up against the wall a gun pointed to her head.
"Now where is she!"
"I---don't know!" the man pushed the gun harder into her temple, and I saw Riley shed a tear.
"You've got five seconds!" Riley looked straight at me and managed to mouth the words "help" and then the man pulled the trigger. by the time Riley fell I was upon the man clawing him.
"Get off me!"
"You killed her!" I hissed and scratched him until I sensed he was dead. I looked at Riley's limp body and then the man. I peered at my hands. these hands just killed a man, and I didn't have to touch Riley to know I killed her too. the sirens sounded and in minutes police were surrounding me.
"Put your hands up!" I faced them, and realized my hands were dripping with blood, and the .45 clenched in my left hand.
"Drop the weapon!" I dropped it and jumped up onto a building, and they shot, but I dodged the bullets. I sat atop a skyscraper for hours... weeping and cursing at myself for not helping
My best friend. when I got home that night, I changed and turned on the tv.

"Breaking news

Two found dead on 6th street, in a corner alley. one by a gun wound sand the other a knife, suspect was masked but had been identified as a female call crime stoppers with any information"

I turned it off and kept myself together. I'm a monster, and I can't control it.
