Okay well this is my first story and I hope you guys like it.
If you have any ideas of where it should go let me know.
Heh... that rhymed.
Alice wasn't scared, but she knew she should have been. She sat there alone in her room a cold sweat running down her back. She wrapped her long arms around her knees bringing them closer to her chest. She could feel her chest rise and fall slowly counting her breaths trying to stop herself from shaking.
She could still hear the cynical laughter ringing in her ears. It sent another shiver down her spine. She closed my eyes and tried not to think about the dream. She thought of Tyler and Lily, and how Tyler held her close during the scary parts of the movies even though she wasn't scared. She remembered how Lily would laugh at her stupid adaptations of the English language. She thought back to the first day of school.
"Today was a disaster." Lily said as they walked out of the gym after taking their school photos. She somehow had ended up with gum in her hair and trying to get it out only made it worse. Alice stopped in the middle of the hallway. Lily stopped talking and turned around and gave me a funny look.
"If the opposite of dislike is like, than is the opposite of disaster aster?" Alice asked her. Lily's eyebrows came close together. "You know that's a good question for Tyler. He is the human dictionary after all."
But like all of her memories they were all a bit fuzzy like she was watching them threw glass. Even the ones from today; they seemed like they were from a lifetime ago. Like they weren't real. But that's impossible. But the dream she had seemed more real than today. She shivered at the thought.
She calmly threw the blankets off her and got out of bed and walked to her bathroom door. She opened the connecting door and turned on the light. She stood there in the door way looking at herself in the mirror. Her platinum blonde hair back in a ponytail like normal and her brown eyes looking tired. She looked like herself but tired, just her, Alice Crock.
"Artemis." She heard the voice say again she crossed her arms as she rubbed away the goose bumps. What an odd name. Why would someone call her that? She pushed the thought to the back of her mind and undressed as she reached for the shower curtain. She pulled it back almost half expecting someone to pop out.
She turned the handle to hot, and stepped into the shower. She poured soap into her hands as began to wash the sweat away. As she did she replayed the dream in her heard. She was now coming to the conclusion that it was really a nightmare.
A boy about her age with red hair in a yellow and red spandex suite was standing next to her on top of a tall building looking down at the streets below. She could feel someone watching her. She turned and looked at the boy next her meeting his eyes from under his mask. For some reason she had the idea she knew what this boy looked like underneath the mask. Even without his mask on she could tell he was handsome.
He quickly put his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. Her stomach started doing flips. Their noses were almost touching, the boy smelled of cinnamon. This thought brought a smile to her lips. She laughed tilting her head back and bringing it back to face the boy with her stupid smirk on her face.
"You know Robin wouldn't be too happy to know we aren't keeping lookout." She smirked at him. What or who was this Robin? This made the boy get a goofy grin on his face which made her stomach tie itself up in knots.
"Well Mr. Boy Wonder doesn't have to know." She whispered. Boy what? He pulled her even closer.
"Wally…" she whispered. Wally? What the hell kind of name is Wally? Before they could get any closer a laugh rang out filling the street. A chill went up her spine. Both quickly turned back to the street to see a clown in a purple suite run out of the bank across the street. She quickly let go of the boy and pulled an arrow out from the quiver on her back that was attached to a long cable and shot it at an angle at the building creating a zip line. She hooked her arrow around the line and sped the down the rope only to come face to face with the clown.
He smiled at her causing goose bumps to appear on her arms. Without hesitation she quickly swept her leg under him causing him to fall to the ground. He let out another laugh. This scared her even more. He quickly got up and ran to an ally way laughing along the way.
Where's the other boy? She couldn't move, finally her muscles were getting the message to move and she chased after the mad man. She heard a familiar girl's voice inside her head. "Artemis! Don't it's a…" but it was too late she followed the clown into the ally to find him quietly giggling behind a dark figure in a cloak.
She notched a arrow into her bow and aimed it at the figure. With a swift motion he raised his hand she tried to release her fingers from the string but she was frozen. Realizing only her eyes could work they grew larger as the man took his hood off.
It was a short pale man with evil looking eyes, but what separated this man from the rest was you could his brain. It was under what looked like clear skin, glass almost. He smiled at her noticing the size her eyes became.
"I guess making you forget is just too easy," he smirked. "I have an even better idea," he said as joy filled his eyes and a devil like grin spread across his face. "Psimon says 'sleep'." Then everything goes dark and the only thing filling the void was that God awful laugh.
"This is taking too long!" the speedster whined. No one opposed him.
"Kid, stuff like this takes time." The Dark Knight finally said. Wally turned to him with a look that almost scared the Bat, almost.
"We save your sorry butts up in the tower and it's not only two weeks later and one of our teammates is in a comma!" He said running his hands threw his hair.
"Wally…" Robin started.
"Don't Wally me! This is all your fault if it wasn't for your stupid obsession with that… that mad man Artemis wouldn't be here!" He said thrusting his finger at the sleeping girl. Robin looked hurt, Wally realized what he had said. "Rob I'm… I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that." The boy wonder showed no emotion.
"No, you're right. I shouldn't have deployed this mission without knowing how dangerous it could be. I should have especially known not to pair you two together on watch duty." He snapped at the red head. Wally looked like Robin had just slapped him. The red head was about to respond, but stopped himself. He let out a sigh knowing he should have been there to help her. If only he had just been little bit faster.
