Unexpected Guest- A Gotham Fanficion

" it's only the beginning, Eddie"

~ Edward's POV ~

Security throws me off where we parked, and I recollect myself. I don't want to seem any more upset, as I know it will make Kristen even more upset. I hug her tightly, but I can't seem to shut off my inner voices.

You killed him. Now you have to do it again. Make it slower this time.

Be quiet. Be quiet.

You know what you have to do. Show her you're a man.

Shut up! You're in my head. Get out of my head. I can't kill again. You know that. They'll take me away from her.

I meet Tom outside Kristen's apartment. I slowly sink my knife into his stomach. I pull it out, and repeat, going faster and faster. Blood dripping down my hands. Adrenaline rushes through my veins. I know it's wrong, but it feels so right. I watch his lifeless body drop to the ground, remembering how he had hurt the love of my life.

I finally pull myself out of the flashbacks and the voices. I grab Kristen's hand, neither of us stable enough to say anything, and we enter the car and I drive off as fast as I can. I look over to Kristen, something's different..unlike her I just can't place it " y'know... we could get the mayor in on getting him out of town for us" she starts, I look at her a second time to see a glint in her eye I recognize isn't at all well meant, it's evil intent one I recognize all to well. "Kristen... what is it?"

You fool. You know what's on her mind.

SHUT UP!

All she does is look over at me. "Wh-What would we have Oswald do?..." I ask, knowing what she means but trying not to let my inner voice take over. She tilts her head to her left, dog like. " give us permission to...... " she smirks "well, I think you already know what I mean, or at least The Riddler does. I can see it, in your lovely eyes.... Come on Eddie....." it's so unlike her, I actually don't know what to do for a minute. I clench my jaw at the sound of her much different, more malicious voice. I know I like it.. But I try my best to fight the urge to give in to.. The Riddler.

Kill him with her. Unleash me and you'll never again be a nobody forensic scientist. You will rule Gotham. Behold a city... Riddled with fear.

I now start to give in. I understand how much more powerful I'll be... How much powerful she and I will be.

Okay. You win.

I look over at her deviously, letting him take control of me. "Let's end him. Together." I say with a smirk.

~ Kristen's POV~

There was something so satisfying about the thought of killing Tom with Edward....I had let her get in my head and I knew it was only a matter of time before he unlocked her forever......we'd both regret it, somewhat " I thought you'd never let me... kill, at your side..... You've been adamant I couldn't" I say attempting to override her, I've already let her in...... like poison, it'll slowly kill me from inside out. "That was the old me. Come on.. You know you want to give in. I already have. You should too." He says as he looks at me seductively, trying to make me want to give in even more.

Would you STOP trying to block me out?! I've won, let me do my job.

You call taking over my mind, body and actions a job?!

Well yes, among other things.

I don't even notice that I'm pulling out my phone and dialing Tom's number, knowing he'll answer " I've been waiting to do this..." I say to Edward as I hit the green phone.

Edward smiled and laughed a much deeper, more mischievous laugh than I usually hear from him. " Edward, keep it down" I whisper as Tom picks up the call.

~ Tom's POV ~

I hear my phone ringing. I pull it out of my jacket, and see an unfamiliar number not in my contacts. Out of curiosity, I answer "Hello?" replying to me is a female voice. I know it sounds familiar "Tom Dougherty?" she asks "Who is this?" I demand as I walk outside the restaurant to hear the voice better. She laughs, and in the background I hear a deeper voice laugh along with her , I hear her put the phone down and whispers something then puts the phone back to her ear " Isabella.....I work for the Mayor." Okay.. What do you want and how do you know my name?" she scoffs" I'm the mayor's secretary so I have the names of everybody in the city,photos included." she replied, then added " and I would like to see you at the apartment 805 on Grundy St. In the back parking lot ." I'm now confused as to what this lady wants. "And why should I?" I demand " The Mayor has a job offer" is all she says, hanging up. "A jo-" I'm cut off by her hanging up. I close my phone, and get in my car. I laugh to and say to myself "A job offer huh? I'll take it" and I drive in the direction of the address.

~ Kristen's POV ~

I looked over to Edward as we drove back to our apartment, the crisp cold air from outside made the people walking look like frostbitten people although it wasn't nearly cold enough for that but it was definitely cold. Edward was smiling,slightly not enough to look clown-like but definitely smiling " I'm extremely excited......although I have absolutely no clue how to do any killing...." I say to him, no starting to regret my decision. He looked over at me. "Don't worry. I do. I'll teach you." He grabbed my hand and pulled up to the apartment. " Promise? I've waited too long for this for me to screw up." I ask, needing his full commitment "My first kill was... Sloppy to say the least. But now I know how to kill. Knives, guns, torture... I can teach you whatever you want to know in the art of murder." I smile " although that didn't sound like a promise to me" I say, teasingly. He grabs my face and kisses me passionately. "I promise." I blush " much better."

~ Edward's POV ~

Kristen and I walk up to our apartment. We enter, ready to get all the things we'll need to get the job done. "Kristen, this is your first. You get to decide how we do it. Slow and painful... Or quick with a bullet to the brain?" She laughs " the man abused me. I'm going to return that pain he caused me. Slow and painful." I smiled as I opened the closet, pulling out as many weapons and torture devices as I could find. I laid them all out on the table in front of Kristen. They ranged from different knife blades to rope and poison. "Take your pick, my love." I see her smile at the nickname as she scans the items with those lovely blue eyes of hers "Poison would make his organs collapse slowly while cutting off his oxygen supply... But good old fashioned knives allow you to take control of the pain." I watch as she examines each closely " I like the knives" she looks back at me " They seem fun." I pick one up running my finger along the dull side of the blade "Wise choice." I say to her" I don't want just any knife.....I want the one you used before." she replies, darkly yet insanely. I look at her surprised by this comment, but I love how committed she's becoming. I uncover the knife from its cover, blood still dried on it. "Here she is. Still stained" I say smiling at her, I see her grin from ear to ear " I don't think you know how much I love you at the very moment " she says, clearly bewildered yet happy. I kiss her again, handing the knife to her as I do. "We should get going. Dougherty will be here any minute." She nods, once we get back to the parking lot days old snow crunching under our boots as we walk back to the back parking lot where my car is parked,we spot him getting out of his car , she turns to me and whispers with a smile " it's only the beginning,Eddie."
