Hey, so this is a rewrite of my first chapter because I feel my writing skills have improved in the two years since I wrote it. Okay so some notes of the story;

1. It will mostly be in 3rd person, despite the first couple of chapters switching POV's. That is just me experimenting with writing. The story is a 3rd person story, I promise.

2. I respond to all reviews, whether it just you saying 'Nice' or a full, five paragraph review. I'll respond, I promise.

3. Feel free to yell at me for not updating. I deserve it.

4. This story is weird, as I try to make their relationship as unconventional and as unpredictable as possible. It's now M rated and it will have mature themes. Please read another story if you have a problem with this, I don't want to offend anyone.

5. If I do manage to offend someone, tell me. We can talk about it and find a solution.

6. It's been like two years since I started this story; of course the first like 5 chapters are gonna suck.

That's about it!


Her lip stung almost as much as her bruises ached. Pulling away the damp paper towel, she scowled at the red patch it left behind. The stitches in her skin itched like hell, but after getting yelled at for the third time, she thought better of it actually scratching them.

Hyde tossed back some stolen liquor and lay her head down, anxiety and for the first time, genuine fear striking her heart.

Here she was, the daughter of a Gotham senator whose nights are spent as an abusive father. She was knocked so far from her pedestal that she can't see it anymore. And to think, only a few weeks ago, she was the middle school freak, virtually unknown. Now, turn on any channel and you'd see her face with the words 'BREAKING NEWS' printed underneath. Things had gotten so bad so quickly... How did this happen?


Short and sweet!
