….Run, run, run..
My eyes slowly opened, and I slowly got up from where I lay.
"Where am I?"
I could hear the rain fall outside, tree branches hit the windowsills, and yet, no one was in sight.
Was this all a dream…?
two and a half years I rotted in that asylum.
Was I finally free?
Did I really escape?
I couldn't believe that I was out. I never believed for one minute that I could actually escape.
"Glad to see your awake"
"Bruce?"
I knew the name, but the words wouldn't leave my mouth. It still hadn't occurred to me, that this wasn't a dream.
"Allie"
I could see his face in the shadows of the room. My long time friend. My only friend. Was right here in front of me. So it really wasn't a dream. This was really happening. I was really free.
HE shifted slightly in the shadows and took a few step closer to me, tilting his head and taking a good look at my face.
I tear fell down my face as he came even closer to me, wrapping his large arms around me and pulling me into his chest. When he held me, I seemed to forget everything that happened. For once. I felt safe again.
"Bruce"
I wrapped my arms around his torso pulling him closer to me, laying my head down on his chest.
"Your safe now." He whispered to me "no one's going to hurt you"
Finally I let my tears out they fell down my face, spilling onto his shirt. he didn't seem to mind, holding me there while I sobbed.
His hands softly caressed my hair as he held me there in his arms. I didn't want to be anywhere else.
"Master Wayne!" A voice called out from the hall
Bruce shifted slightly in his position.
"I'll be back" he said pulling away
I nodded slightly.
"oh. And Aliie."
"Hm?"
"I missed you."
"I missed you too."
