Tales of Zatanna: Volume One

Chapter 7

"Stuck In a Love Triangle"

I completely never knew I would feel these feelings. Batman is so amazing, good thing he doesn't know. Although, I do believe I am going to tell him tonight. It's been two weeks since the Halloween problem and he has stayed here since then. I know Batman likes me too, I can just feel it from is aura. Ever since I have been gifted by my powers, I learned how to read people's auras. I know it's cheating and bad to see what Batman feels, but I haven't really done it..Yet. I just get these feelings that his aura says that he likes me too.

I walked down a sidewalk that was covered with fall leaves and my hands were in my pocket. Every day, it gets a little chillier. That means that winter is coming closer, that means Frost will have her way with the world before I get to stop her. I put my hands in my jacket pockets and looked down at the cold sidewalk. Then I heard a sweet similar voice. I know who it is now, detective Harris. He walked in front of me to stop me from walking and was caring a rose in his hand. "Hey!" I said looking at his red rose. He looked at me and smiled with embarrassment. "Zatanna! Hey, umm, how are you?" he asked while looking deep into my eyes. I smiled and started to giggle and blush. What was I doing? I can't like to people at once. I have to make up my mind.

"I'm good thanks!" I said cheerfully. He looked at me and slowly raised the red rose. "I don't do this often, well not since my I asked my ex-wife out on our first date" he said smiling. I looked at him with shocked eyes, but yet, still smiling. "I shouldn't of said that, damn Eric!" he said slapping his own head. "Oh its okay, I will go out with you" I said. What the hell was I thinking! I like Batman more, I think??

"Great, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7:00pm" he said walking away. I waved and turned around, being very confused, I am stuck in a love triangle.

Back at Frost's New Layer:

"I see our Zatanna is in a love mess" Frost said to the other people darkened by the shadows. One of the shadows looked at Frost with their piercing eyes. But their appearance wasn't revealed. "Frost, now don't get to cocky, she's a smart girl" a voice said. Another shadow looked at the other who spoke. "Now now, let her have fun. We do want to mess with Zatanna" said the other voice. Frost silenced both and started to laugh. "I need to save my energy, I'm waiting for winter to be here, so then, I can make my move" laughed the Frost as the other two laughed as well.

Back with Zatanna:

I walked up to my apartment door and sniffed a little scent out of the beautiful rose Eric gave. I unlocked my door and noticed Bruce was sitting at my kitchen counter with dinner all made. "Bruce, you made dinner!" I was surprised. He laughed and pulled out a chair for me. "Well I know you have long and hard nights at the theatre, so I thought I might make you dinner for a 

thanks for letting me stay here" he explained as I sat down to the beautiful dinner. I snapped my fingers quietly to slightly dim the lights. I know, that's so pushing it, but I couldn't resist. I watched as the beautiful glow from the candle stick lit up the walls. After the dinner, I said goodnight and went to my bed.

In my dream, I dreamt about the world turning to ice and everyone was frozen. Wait, this wasn't a dream, it was the future!

I woke up and Bruce was sitting on my bed concerned because I was screaming in my sleep. I looked at the clock and it was two in the morning. Bruce helped me up and asked me what was wrong. I looked at him, us by our selves, one and one. "The end of the World" I said. We both looked at each other with fear.
