Unexpected Guest- A Gotham Fanficion

Chapter four

  ~ Tom's POV ~

I drive over to the address that the lady on the phone gave me. I wait in the alleyway next to the apartment complex, and wait for who ever it is to come and give me the job. I pull out a cigarette and lean against my car, waiting for someone to show. Suddenly, I'm startled by a voice behind me, and I quickly turn around dropping my cig. "Tom Dougherty?" Says the female voice, she's wearing a dark coat with a hood on, so it's hard to tell who she even is. Another, taller figure, emerges from the shadows, wearing a very similar outfit. "Hello Tom. We've been waiting for you." The man is wearing dark green,it's only when I go to say something that I realize it's The Riddle Man "Riddle Man? That you?"The tall skinny man laughs "Riddle man. You're never letting that one go are you Dougherty?" He turns to the lady and they both laugh. I'm suddenly frightened for the first time in a while. "What's going on here... What are you doing?" I'm not armed with a gun like I usually am, and I see the woman pull out a knife, with a black scarf still covering most of her face. She walks closer, opening the knife,it has dried blood all over the blade, it's the one Riddle Man used on me before, before I can do anything she stabs me, the same spot Riddle Man had, she takes the scarf of and I see it's my girlfriend Kristen Kringle.

The Riddler runs behind me and pins my arms behind my back before I even get a chance to run. "LET ME GO! DON'T DO THIS KRISTEN!!" I scream, but no one's around to hear me. All she does is laugh as the slides the knife out of it's holster, examining it. "Tom, you just won't stay dead will you?" She says adjusting her glasses nonchalantly. I'm still in shock, I didn't know Kristen had this in her. " What? You scared of a little blood?" she teases,coming from her who is scared of blood that's unlike her. She puts the knife right next to my eye, and I can clearly see the previous blood stains on it. "Whos blood do you think that is? I'll give you one guess." She asks

" Mine." I say, eyeing the knife. "Very good! I knew there was part of a brain in there" I kick and yell, frightened and humiliated. Riddle Man is much stronger than I remember. "This is your blood. The difference is Tom..." She drives the knife slowly into my stomach "This blood is fresh." I scream at the intense pain" RIDDLE MAN WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?" I shout, through gritted teeth. They both laugh at me. "I revealed who she really is. And now it's your time to die for good." Riddle man says, and Kristen twists the knife harder into my stomach. I can feel the blood running up through my throat, coming up through my mouth and nose. I want to scream, but I can't seem to find the oxygen as i'm choking on my own blood. She repeats the stabbing motion, and I sink lower and lower each time, desperate for air. My vision starts to go black, darker and darker each time the knife cuts through my flesh. Through ringing ears, the last thing I hear is Kristen and Riddle Man laughing, and I fall to the ground-right beside my cigarette.

~ Edward's POV~

I smile approvingly at Kristen "Well done my love, see it was easy." I look at Tom's lifeless body on the ground, and look back at Kristen, still breathing hard grasping the knife in hand. She's smiling, well that is until realization hits her, she starts crying " E-Edward.....EDWARD WHAT DID I DO?!" She drops the knife and wraps her arms around me,crying hard. "I know, my love. I know this was hard." I hug her back, taking the knife from her and closing it. " Eddie.....I-I-I......I LET HER WIN....." she says through tears ,crying on my shoulder. "I know. I - I've let him in win too." I say, stroking the back of her head as I start to cry too. The rain begins to fall around us, washing the blood away.
