Okay so hey guys, I'm alive. And I really do not think I have the real desire to write a sequel to my original work so.... here is what I'm planning to do instead. My original work was finished in 2013 and I started it even earlier. I was sixteen when I finished it up and while I might have been an alright writer, I've grown a lot through my creative writing classes. I didn't even edit what I originally work and that continues to terrify me. What I want to do is go through, edit, and make changes I've thought about since I finished it. At the time, I wanted a sequel. I thought I could pump it out really quick even though I'm relatively sure it took me two years just for the first one. I want to make this wanna be two work piece into just one. I want to give you all a real ending and make it something I am proud of. I'm planning to post it up on Ao3 as I edit, and post it up on Wattpad chapter by chapter (maybe one every two days?) once I'm finished. If you want to see the progress as it goes, I'm at blondiebatgirl on archive of our own. The prolouge is already up. Once I start uploading the new version of this, I will mark the original as such and the new as 'rewritten' or 'edited', whichever I deem more apt. It will tie in the conflicts I wanted from this story and will only leave mysteries I wanted in the first place. There will be a definite ending. Anyway-- I'm so sorry for those of you waiting. I'm going to hurry to get this edit/writing done and get you all the closure with this story because even I need it at this point.

Shannon Marks has lived a very traumatic life. After her mother was killed, she suffered from extreme xenophobia and claustrophobia. School was a nightmare with only one redeeming quality- Jonathan Crane. However, the day the genius of her dreams noticed her became her second worse day after her longest lasting foster father was killed, along with many others, by Victor Zsasz. Shannon herself was almost killed, but instead ended up with a forever lame leg and a new life. One as Shannon Gordon. Sadly for Shannon, homeschool does not last forever, and to become a psychologist, she has to attend Gotham University. It's not all that bad, though. Especially not when a familiar face shows up in the classroom... And then again when she gets a job at Arkham Asylum. But when Zsasz escapes once more, intent on finding out if his unfinished victim actually died, will Shannon be able to stay with Jonathan? Will her fears start ruling her life once more? Will she even live?... Or will the one without fear come to her rescue?

"Oh my God, Zara," he whispered, taking a good look at me. The insecurity managed to break through my amorousness. "I knew you were a beautiful woman, but damn, you're about to kill me with those curves." "I..." I wrapped my arms around chest, feebly trying to shield myself from his stare. Shame churned within my stomach. "I-Is that a bad thing?" "No, it's a very good thing." Gently, he pushes my arms away so I can't hide myself anymore. I sighed as his fingers drew little lines along the curves of my hips. "Almost makes we wish I was a race car driver so I could fully appreciate them."
