Oh my god, I'm soooo sorry I haven't updated! A lot of things have been going on and I just haven't had the time.
Please don't hate me! Hopfully this chapter will make up for the almost three months I haven't updated this story in?

"4 years ago I broke it off with Jonathan Crane, and ran for college. I never really needed that degree...maybe for once I was actually afraid of something."

~~~~~~~~~

Rain pelted down on the gloomy grey and white world around her, she watched the rain drentch everything it could reach.
Ace stood in the center of what she supposed was a school play ground, children ran about playing on jungle jims and swinging on swings. She wasn't sure what was going on but she realiazed she couldn't hear a thing, it was like watching a silent movie. Her legs carried her to a wall ball court, Ace regonized it as soon as she stepped near it, this was where she killed Talie...Watching the scene again but this time knowing what would happen she tried to yell for Talie not to do it but that was when she realized she couldn't yell no matter how hard she tried nothing came out. So Ace watched as her younger self slammed Talie's head into the wall, she stared at the blood unaffected by it. Ace looked at herself, she saw the pain and fear on her face, but she also so the curiousity and the hate towards Talie for dying without suffering first. She started to scream at her younger self to run, to hide, to tell them the truth about her hearing, but once again nothing came out of her mouth.
She started struggling when something started dragging her away from the scene, and she was pulled into darkness.

The next thing Ace knew, she felt warmth and her head was lying on something comfortable. Her eyes opened slowly and she saw white out of the right side of her right eye and then she saw the small tv that she knew Triff owned with the rest of her vision. Following the white up to where it ended, Ace saw Jonathan's face, he was watching her, and she could tell he looked concerned. Ace knew she had been having a nightmare now, something she rarly had and when she did have them she was rarly scared in them, but in this one she had felt scared. She then realized the possibly of the fact that the screaming and yelling she had done in her nightmare could have been heard by Jonathan and Triff.

Ace shot up into a sitting position, she regretted it when her head started pounding for a new headache. She ignored it and looked at Jonathan, "What happened?" she asked quietly. Jonathan opened his mouth to speak but Triff got it out before he could, "You fainted." she said simply. Jonathan sent Triff a slight glare, "and you seemed to have been having a nightmare." he said looking back at Ace, concern still written on his face. "Ah." Ace said, her eye brows knitted together and she looked as though she was thinking something over. "I haven't fainted from one of my headaches in a long time." Ace mumbled. "I would say it was the stress from tonight and the headache that did it, Isabella." Jonathan said, Ace took no notice to him calling her by her real name, "thats reasonable" she said.

Triff sighed, "Well not to break up this interesting 'conversation', but I would like to know why you broke Jonathan out of Arkham." she said. Ace looked at Triff and raised an eyebrow as if it were obvious, "I figured we could use Jonathan to pull something off with us." she said. "Ha yes well what would this 'something' be?" Triff asked crossing her arms over her chest. "I haven't figured that out yet, but it will be something interesting, big and terrifing." Ace said, a sickly sweet smile crawled onto her lips. Triff simply rolled her eyes, then walked towards her room shouting over her shoulder "Are we ever going to do something simple for a change?" and with that Triff's door shut leaving Ace and Jonathan alone.

"Hm, she hasn't changed much form when you first introduced me to her." Jonathan said after Triff's door had shut. "Still obsessed with simple things, and still as much of a ball of sunshine as a wet cat." he finished. Ace nodded, "Thats the one good thing I found when I came back, Triff hasn't changed much." she said quietly turning her head so she could look at Jonathan again. "You know, when I left I hadn't ever really planned on coming back until that letter from Arkham came..." Ace said, staring at Jonathan's blue eyes. "Hm, you almost got away." Jonathan said, "Why did you run in the first place?" he said raising an eyebrow. Ace sighed, "Because I hated this entire city, especially Arkham." she started, "The only good things about being here were Triff, contolling the mobs and..." Ace paused then whispered, "you."

After a couple of tense, slient moments, Ace stood up from the couch and headed towards her room but stopped before she reached the hall. "There are blankets in the closet." she said before going down into the hall towards her room, she knew Jonathan still remembered where the closet was, he had been here a few times before this.
Ace entered her room and laid down on her bed not bothing to get undressed, she was too tired and as soon as her head hit the pillow she was out like a light.

Not the greatest thing ever written, this felt more like a filler chapter.
Well or just something so you people still knew I was alive...I'll try harder to update!
