Selina Kyle | The Beginning

5

        Selina wasn't entirely sure what she was going to do when she got to Wayne Manor, or why she was so drawn to it, but when she got there she knew she wanted one thing, to be closer to it. Wayne Manor was on a grand hill with a grand gate and wall surrounding it. The wall had to be twelve feet at least and the gate in the front was at least five feet higher. The wall was brick but Selina was used to climbing these structures in Arkham City. She walked to the back because climbing in the front would be too risky, she figured there were cameras around the area so she remained cautious. Selina pulled herself up onto the wall after a short climb and looked up at Wayne Manor. The sun hadn't gone down but it was usually cloudy in Gotham so the place was lit up. Very few of the room's curtains were drawn closed, she could see the inside of the rooms with their large family portraits and beautiful fire places. There was a ballroom on the first floor with large chandeliers and a beautiful grand staircase. It's enough to take your breath away. And it really was, Wayne Manor was the most beautiful thing Selina had seen beside her mother, whose face she remembered clear as day. Selina's eyes moved from the beautiful home to the back door of Wayne Manor that was directly across from where she was crouched on the wall. The two massive doors burst open and Selina jumped behind a concrete post on the wall to stay hidden. 

        A tall, handsome young man with chocolate brown hair and eyes stepped out of the dark cellar and into the cloudy light. His face had no imperfections, or maybe it was just the way the light hit his face and crossed his strong jaw.He shut the doors behind him and walked over to a bench in the garden looking upset. Looking at him made Selina blush, even though he didn't know she was there she was embarrassed and wanted to leave but wanted to stay at the same time. He's too good to be true, she thought to herself as she watched him sit on garden bench that was surrounded by perfectly trimmed rose bushes. He picked one off of the bush and sighed as he stared at it in his hands. He was leaning forward so that his elbows were on his knees, she wished he would sit up straight so she could get a better look at him. He's gorgeous. It's like watching a scene from a movie! She had never been so mesmerized by someone in her life. He looks so heartbroken, like he's searching for more than what he has in life, like me. She tried to prop herself up against the concrete post to get a better look but Selina's foot suddenly slipped and she fell backward off the wall! “Shit, NO!” She thought to herself as she fell backward. She landed directly on her backside, which hurt like hell. She didn't dare move hoping that he didn't hear her but then she heard the Wayne gates opening. “Shit!” She said under her breath as she pulled herself off the ground. She quickly crouched behind a bush with purple flowers to hide herself of the man she could hear running her way, but her back pain was too much to bare while crouching so she sat down and ducked her head. Be prepared to run Selina.

        She watched through the branches as he looked around for what made the noise. She had tried not to make noise as she fell but couldn't remember if she screamed. “Hello? Is anyone hear?” He called. She had definitely either screamed or made a loud thump when she fell. He was definitely older than her not only in looks but in his voice too. It was sexy and deep and unlike any voice she had ever heard before. He was pacing, looking around and then suddenly he looked straight into her eyes through the branches. He can't be looking at me, this bush is huge! No way would someone just automatically look at the exact bush a person is hiding in...unless he can sense me staring at him...

        “Hey, I see you behind there. Are you okay?” Shit. Selina felt stupid letting him talk to her from behind a bush so she stood up as quickly as she could hoping he wouldn't notice her wince in pain but he did.

        “Hi..” She said shyly as she held her back with her right arm.

        “Um, hi...” He said awkwardly back looking her up and down. She could feel her face burning as they looked back at each other. This is so embarrassing, please say something! “Are you okay? I heard someone scream and it sounded so close...” So I did scream! He was looking around her nervously trying to figure what happened...Probably looking for my blood.
