First of all thank you guys for the support! I am so glad you guys like my story, it makes me want to write more and more! You guys are awesome! I made this chapter extra long for you guys!

Amelia was looking up at the huge monstrosity that was leering down at her. He did not look please, not pleased at all. She knew she had to be strong; she needed a plan and she needed one NOW! "I-I was looking for the bathroom…I really have to go."

The creature was silent, he studied her and Amelia started to move her legs; acting like she had to pee. He let out a loud grunt and started to head toward the back of the make shift home. "You're lucky you are worth so much; or I'd rip your bladder out. It's back here."

He was at the back of the room and then Amelia saw her chance! She yanked the door knob and ran; hearing a loud roar behind her. Amelia knew this was the dumbest thing ever but it was the only way she could get out!

She heard the cracking of wood behind her; he must hand ran through the door. Now every second counted; Amelia knew she had to keep running or he would catch her. "GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BITCH! NO ONE MAKES KILLER CROC LOOK A FOOL AND LIVES!"

Hot tears started to pour out of her eyes from fear, but the adrenalin pumping through her veins made her body keep going. She heard him catching up quickly, his footsteps where heavy on the cement flooring of the sewer.

Along side of the path she was following where half circle openings, for while they were dark but she started to see light coming out of them. He was right behind her; hearing his heavy breathing made her panic. She started to think to herself 'Get in the hole, GET IN THE HOLE…NOW!'

Amelia stopped abruptly and crouched down, tucking her head in between her knees. Killer Croc was not excepting her to do this, which cause him to step right over her. As soon as he was off balance she shimmed into the hole quickly toward the light. "I'VE GOT YOUR SCENT YOU LITTLE BITCH! I AM GOING TO RIP YOU APART!"

It felt like she was running for hours and she was out of breath. She didn't know she could run for so long. But then again when something terrifying as a giant alligator man chasing you, you will run as fast as you can.

The sewers where actually surprisingly easy to navigate, due to the architecture of Gotham City. She had learned that many old cities that not only did their streets work in a grid like system; and so did their sewers. Amelia did not know where she was, the only plan she could think of was too keep walking in till she heard cars above her.

The smell was mixed with feces got married to rotten eggs and had they had wet dog smelling baby. Amelia had her sleeve over her mouth, trying her best not to breathe it in. She wanted to stop and rest, but knew that horrible beast was still after her. He looked like that kind of man that wouldn't stop in till his victim was dead.

Eventually she ended up in what seemed like a catacomb waterfall system underneath the city. It was so loud she could not hear any cars but she saw a ladder going up to the surface. She grabbed one of the iron rods and started to climb up, but was very careful due to the rails being slippery. Slowly she made her way up, only focusing on getting up to the surface.

She was only a third up the ladder when her bad luck caught up with her again. Something got a hold on her ankle, forcing a gasp out of her. She looked down and let out a scream.

The Croc had her ankle in his massive hand and was squeezing it tight. Amelia did her best to pull her ankle away but no good; he had a hold on her. He yanked hard on her ankle, forcing her let go of the bars and fall toward the concrete floor.

Her back and her head hit the concrete floor; hard. For a second all she could hear was ringing in her ears, but the only thing on her mind was to catch her breath after the wind was knocked out of her.

Soon the massive figure was looming over her and leaned over her body. This was it; he was going to kill her. 'Well at least I tried to save myself I guess.' She thought to herself.

He leaned in close to her face and growled lowly; "I think I'll rip your head off and send it to your uncle. Or maybe I'll eat that innocent face of yours." Tears slowly ran down her face; even if he was going to kill her, she had to know one thing.

With a soft wheeze Amelia was able to say, "Where you hired to kill my uncle."

The giant creature stared down at her and then started to laugh hysterically. "What?! You think I was the one hired to kill Bruce Wayne!? I have no reason to kill him! You on the other hand are worth a fortune, which is why Slade and I devised a plan to kidnap you and sell you to a buddy of ours."

"T-Then..do…you know…who…was.." Amelia was having trouble breathing and her vision was getting blurred. She could smell blood, she figured she was bleeding from the back of her head due to the fall.

"So..you don't know?! OH GOD THAT'S EVEN FUNNIER!" He laughed even harder and sunk his claws into the side of stomach, causing her to scream. "Everyone in town knows who was hired to kill your Uncle! It was your little boyfriend B-"

Before the creature could finish, a massive hand grabbed the monsters forehead and ripped him off the girl. Amelias vision was leaving her but all she could hear was the cracking of bones and screaming.

The last thing she could see was the massive figure standing over her and pushing up its mask. It was Bane with the look of panic on his face, which was strange from his usual calm composure. He was calling her name but she couldn't reply; her mind went numb and everything went black.

Amelias eyes slowly opened but closed again due to the bright lights getting into her eyes. When they finally opened she turned her head to see she was hooked up to an IV and a heart rate monitor. She slowly scanned the rest of the room; she was in her room back at the mansion.

"Oh, gracias a Dios. Mi amada que finalmente se despierta." Quickly turning her head she saw Bane sitting with a warm smile on his face; his massive hand touching her face. Amelia had mixed feelings about seeing him.

Deep down she honestly was happy to see him and that he had been there to save her. If he was a second late, she would have been dead. However; the Croc was about to tell her who was hired to kill her uncle.

"I am so sorry Amelia for letting that monster take you away from me. I promise from now on I will never let you out my site ever. Seré tu sunsire y su puesta, I will always be here for you." Amelia had to admit, the Spanish was sexy. And his deep Latino accent made it sexier. She knew a bit of Spanish, and the things she understood where quiet beautiful.

But she needed to know, and she needed to know now. "Bane…where…you the one…who was hired…to kill Bruce…"

Bane got stiff and just stared at her; the two of them sat in silence. Amelia tried to read his face,"Bane…please…answer me…"

"….yes…I was…" Bane kept a caring face on as he spoke but Amelia moved her face away from his hand and started to hyperventilate. "Amelia please, calm yourself."

Ameila stared at him quietly, every time he tried to touch her she would move away. "…I did not want to tell you because I knew it would scare you…. Yes I was hired to kill your uncle. But it is true that an anonym's man hired me to kill him…and bring you to him."

Bane got up from his chair and looked out his window. "I honestly was not going to do it; kill him I mean. Your uncle and I have an unusual…agreement on things. I would usually keep my distance from him and him from me. That night when I came, I originally was just going to tell your Uncle about the bounty on him. But then I saw you."

He turned back to her; Amelia knew that look; passion was flowing though him again. "Amelia I swear I have seen you in my dreams; and the visions in my dreams never lie to me! When I saw you I knew I had to stay and protect you!" He quickly went to her and softly held her face in her hand.

Once again she could not breathe; her face was so hot she knew her face had to be red. His passion was contagious but the lying was a huge turn off. "I…I honestly do not know how to feel about this Bane…about you…"

"I promise I will be honest with you from now on Amelia. I do not want you to be scared of me. You must trust me; I did it for your safely, please believe me Amelia." His voice sounded shaky, like he was about to lose it. Her hands slowly came up to his but instead of pulling his hands off, she softly held them. They locked eyes and once again their breathing was synced.

Bane slowly moved in for a kiss; their lips slowly touched and Amelia slowly closed her eyes. Maybe it was the near death experience, maybe it was her light headedness but in that moment; she did not care. The passion he had for her was intoxicating. She pulled away and looked up at him "Bane just…I need time to think of what is the right thing to do right now. But..please stay with me.."

"Are you sure you wish to invite a man like me to your bed Amelia?" Bane looked into her eyes again and Amelia nodded.

"For tonight yes…but just for tonight…this does not mean we are together…I..just.." Bane kissed her again deeply and had her lie down slowly; Amelia placed her hands softly on his muscular chest.

"Do not think, just sleep Amelia." She looked up at him and he softly petted her hair in till she slowly drifted to sleep.
