Wiskers

Chapter 1

"Geoffrey I told you that if you came home drunk again I would leave you!"

"Well I guess that just makes you a liar doesn't it cuz I am blind drunk and your still here!"

There were more insults thrown between my parents shortly followed by slamming doors and smashing glass, every night my parents argued I always thought that maybe sometime they would run out of things to argue about and things would go back to the way they were before.

my hands were over my ears trying to drowns out the sound of my arguing parents but it was no use. I ran upstairs and threw on my purple cat-eared hoodie and grabbed my backpack in went my purse with fifteen dollars, a change of clothes and a bag of secret gum balls that I had saved, then I picked up my plushy kitten called whiskers and zipped up the bag.

"Meow" I spun to see a pair of familiar emerald eyes staring back at me through the window I opened it up to let in a jet black cat that had often visited me and kept me company

"Midnight, it's nice to see you"

"Meow"

Then I turned had one last look at what had always been my room and climbed out of the window followed by midnight

Mother had always said that she was proud of me in gymnastics my teacher always said that I was naturally talented even now at the age of six

I jumped from rooftop to rooftop until I was in the part of town that I had never seen before, this was obviously the rich part of town by now I was getting rather tired and stopped in an alleyway outside a theatre.

A finely dressed man walked past my alley way with his beautiful wife and his son who looked to be not much older than me he looked down and saw me huddled in the corner of the alley and crouched down.

"Hello there" he smiled "what are you doing there?"

"I ran away from home I replied quietly"

He nodded then held out his hand to help me up "what's your name?"

"Selina, Selina Kyle" I held out my hand to shake his

"Well I am mister Wayne, very nice to meet you I will make a phone call and we will see if we can find you a place to sleep for the night"

I smiled and got up, he spoke to someone on his phone and then put it back into his pocket

"There is a very nice home for little girls in Gotham and they have a space for you, we will wait with you until they pick you up"

When the shiny blue car turned up a friendly looking lady got out and talked to mister Wayne then he turned to me to say goodbye and disappeared down into an alleyway with his family.

There was a scream followed by two loud bangs then a man with a dark brown coat ran out of the alleyway with a wallet and a smoking gun.
