Way Down We Go

❝You see, if she was just anybody I could get over it, no matter how much I loved her. But she isn't.--she's the most popular, most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I mean she's like Messalina and Cleopatra and Salome and all that.❞
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, Basil & Cleopatra

Synopsis!

Decisions, decisions, decisions... They are fascinating. We won't know what can happen when we make decisions. But sometimes, decisions are stolen away from people. Anissa Ross did not have a decision. Condemned to be an immortal being until the earth was no more was not something she wanted. That choice was stolen in a moment of selflessness by a wolf in sheep's clothing.

She did not remember what happened before she became deathless. She only knew who did this to her. Almost her whole life, she has been taken care of by a woman named Jacqueline West, who was not kind, but she was not evil either.

Time would go by, and she would be the spectator of what her darkness within can do.

She was turned to her usual self again and escaped from hell to earth, to humanity's wasteland: Gotham City.

But not everything was unpleasant enough. Anissa found shelter from Gotham's most known billionaire.

She got closer not only to the butler and the multi-billionaire, but towards a certain boy wonder. A guy who caught her attention the first time she saw him.

And while she thought she was safe, the wolf in sheep's clothing came back to haunt her dreams and turn them into a nightmare with dripping blood and a warning to hurt the boy wonder. She had to leave the manor so no one would get hurt by this demon.

With tears of blood from a wounded heart, she moved to Detroit, where she thought that keeping a low profile under a fake name would be a great idea.

Until someone knocked on her door at an unusual hour.

Richard Grayson, aka Dick Grayson, was smitten the first time he saw Anissa. And the more and more time they spent together, he realized he was not only infatuated with her, but he caught feelings for Anissa Ross. And that was the worst part, the day he was about to tell her it was the day she left Gotham City. No note, no goodbye from her, only a final illicit affair.
