The trilogy of Gotham.

Part nineteen

By dawn Alex and I are up the trail again after a very long time with this routine, strolling north. At least I knew I was safe because Alex was here and no more harm's way, the monster Vondrich himself promised no more bites around for me. I wasn't his toast as long as I left Alec alone. That was less of my worries.

"Kath, don't you think we should apply for the Olympics game this summer?" Alex asks me.

"Wow that's no brainer."

"Then I should go apply for the both of us, what's your other name?"

I pose,wait I don't have an identity card,am a runner way, a fugitive then I use my fake name.

"Forbes."

But surely they'll track me down after realising this, maybe I decline the option of Olympics.

"I pass. I don't wanna participate."

"Jesus, Kath. You even said its no brainer."

"My bad," I reply sadly.

"There's no turning away from this," he laughs and runs ahead at full speed. I run to catch up with him, he increases his speed so I had to as well, I try to race further, out competing him. "You just beat me in this race." he screams, "so your up for the national games."

"What you blackmailer," I halt,lifting my hands in the air.

"Yes yes yes," he laughs placing his hands on his knees.

If only he knew my reasons. If he'd known what sent me away from my hometown, my former filthy nature. The abusive alcoholic father without any inheritance, the death of my mother and worse.

That I shot my biological father.
All those were bad memories that I'd live with to the grave.

Images of him trying to take me flood my mind one night when I came home filthy and drunk, he came straight to my bedroom calling my name from the hallway till he stood stout at the door frame.

I was lying on my bed thinking of how to make ends meet for the day, what I'd eat to fill my hungry stomach when this swine comes and grabs hold of my bum.

"Father!!" I push him off. "What are you doing? It was the fast time he'd ever touched me, other times he'd beat me up but now he just grabbed me so hard.

"I gave birth to you so there's nothing you need to hide," slapping me across the cheek.

I slap him back. Then he draws a gun, before he could point it at me, I grub it and shoot direct to his chest.

He falls down limp, lifeless.

Lots of love to all my readers, I heart you.Xoxo
