In the shadowy streets of Gotham City, where crime and chaos reign, a story begins to unfold between Bellamy Lynn, a girl whose world revolves around books and her dog, and Jason Todd, a vigilante known as the Red Hood. Their story begins in the hallways of Gotham Academy as classmates, but Bellamy is caught between both of Jason's identities, him as a civilian and his night-caped version. Just when she was about to act on her feelings, an unfortunate event occurred. When Jason suddenly disappears and is reported dead, she can't help but feel grief and emptiness. Five years later, a ghost of Bellamy's past reappears with blood in his eyes and a soft spot for her. Events of the past seem to be replaying all over again when she gets taken by a familiar grinning face. Jason fights with himself, unsure of whether he should still be involved in her life. He's convinced that he would break her from even involving her in all his internal chaos and in more danger. Read to find out more about their story and how they fight to stay with each other. I don't own anything but my OC, Bellamy Lynn, and my story plot, except for the beginning chapters, which take place during the events in Batman: Under the Red Hood and the events that follow after.

"Hazel." "What?" "My name." I swallowed hesitantly, afraid to shatter the silence between us anymore than I already had, "It's Hazel." The silence of the night made it seem as if someone breathing too loud could make the silence shatter into a million pieces. My voice was no exception, and I was terrified that if I spoke to loud, even one word, the it would shatter, along with everything in the room. The silence seemed to make my voice feel smaller than it was, so when I finally heard his footsteps again, it shocked me to hear how loud and distinctive each one was, as if the silence broke just for him. As if he ruled the silence. It's as if he didn't even view the silence as fragile, but a force that he had to over come. And he didn't want to back down from the fight. <~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~> Summary: Hazel has always tried to do the right thing and be the best person she can be, but that can get confusing when you end up being hunted by someone you don't even know. Or she thought she didn't. Her life has few shadows and a lot of light. Jason Todd has a past that he can't seem to recover from, while Hazel has a past that seems perfect. What happens when both of these are proved wrong? His life has a lot of shadows and few light. And what if the person who helps Hazel ends up being the person who is the most opposite from her? <~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~><~> Rankings: Jason Todd #4 Batfamily #1 Red hood #1 Nightwing #1 Robin #1 Red Robin #2 bruce wayne #1 batman #1 wally west #1 dick grayson #1 tim drake #3 original character #4
