Legacy ["Unreal" Series - Book #2]

Chapter 21

1 month later (October)

It's the day of Halloween. Obviously, Halloween can be scary, but in Gotham, it's a whole other story...

-------------------
"Boo!" Danny screams in Krystal's face as she shits her locker.

"Danny!" Krystal exclaims, playfully hitting him. They walk down the hall together.

"Kris, it's Halloween, lighten up!" Danny says, with a smile. "Hey, there's a Halloween party tonight, wanna go?" Danny asks Krystal.

"I don't know if I can." Krystal responds, as she and Danny walk outside.

-----------------
"Why not?" Danny asks, confused.

"I don't know if my parents will let me," Krystal explains. "This is Gotham after all!" Krystal jokes.

Danny giggles. "Yeah, I get it." Danny agrees, walking to his car. "Text me and maybe we can just hang out instead of going to a party?" Danny suggests, getting into his car.

"I will." Krystal promises, getting into her car. The two start their cars and then drive off.

---------------
"Mom, dad, I'm home!" Krystal hollers as she walks into her house.

There's silence as she closes the door. Krystal furrows her eyebrows in confusion. She walks upstairs.

----------------
She realizes something when she gets to the top of the stairs. She walks to her parents' bedroom.

She knocks on the door. "Can you guys stop banging for one second and say 'hi' to me?" Krystal hollers to her parents from outside their bedroom.

Her mom opens the door and peeks her head through the crack of the door. "Sorry, dear!" Her mother says.

Her father peaks his head through the crack, as well. "How was school?" Her father asks.

"Good," Krystal says. "I have something to ask you guys, but I'll wait until you guys have clothes on." Krystal says, disgusted by her parents.

"Oh, sorry!" Her mother apologizes, on behalf of her and her husband. Mrs. Kyle closes the door and goes to change, along with her husband.

-----------
About 10 seconds later, Mrs. Kyle and Mr. Wayne come out of the bedroom.

"Alright, what is it that you wanted to ask us?" Mrs. Kyle asks her daughter, with a smile.

"Um...can I go out tonight?" Krystal asks her parents, hesitantly.

"Absolutely not!" Mr. Wayne quickly answers.

"Please, dad!" Krystal begs. "I'll be good, I'll be safe!" Krystal promises her father.

"Bruce, she'll be eighteen in two months," Mrs. Kyle informs her husband. "its about time we start treating her as she should be treated!" Mrs. Kyle tells her husband.

Mr. Wayne sighs. "Don't be home past midnight!" Mr. Wayne demands.

Krystal smiles. "Thank you, daddy!" She gives her father a right hug and then goes to her room.
