Thank you all so much for your reviews. I'm so happy lots of you liked it, so here's the second one:D Enjoy:D
Chapter 2: Trust issues
"Look kid, I know you don't trust me but trust me when I tell you this, don't stand in my way or else you're going to lose your eyes!" Selina growls angrily as she feels the locked door in her back. The boy however keeps smirking like he's not threaten by her words at all. "Obviously no one taught you never to corner a cat."
Selina claws her fingers, readying them for danger as she makes a run-up toward Sean and tries to grab for his face. Sean seeing it coming makes her trip and Selina falls face down onto the floor. Sean uses that as an opportunity to flip her back over to her back and sits on top of her, pinning Selina to the ground.
Selina, sensing there's no chance for her to escape from this situation because the street boy is way stronger than her, realizes she now has to play smarter than the boy. And with that, she starts screaming her lungs out as she tries to wriggling from under Sean, playing a vulnerable, defenceless little girl.
"No, please, get off me!" Selina screams, forcing herself to cry a little when tries to free herself. "Please, get off. Don't hurt me! Get off! Please, get off!"
It seems to work because fear fills the street boy's eyes. He never intended to make her feel he was going to hurt her like that. His grip loosens onto her arms as he slowly moves off Selina, and then suddenly a sharp pain in his head. Selina had kicked him against the side of his head, but more near his ear.
The young street boy drops to the ground, holding the side of his head, wheezing in pain. Selina quickly scrambles back up and rolls Sean over to his back with her foot. Quickly she takes her knife from Sean's pocket, takes a few dollar bills the street boy stole earlier from the cops, and then heads over the window.
Sean lies still on the floor, coughing in pain as Selina hips onto the windowsill and opens the window far enough so she can climb through. But before she does, she looks one more time at Sean with a grin, who in his turn looks back at her as the pain slowly wears off and crawls back up to catch her.
"That's why you never should force a cat to stay against her will," Selina says, quickly leaping down to the fire escape as Sean reaches the window, missing her by an inch. Displeased, the street boy pokes his head through the window, watching Selina climbing down to the street.
"Never try to come looking for me!" Sean shouts, staring down and watch Selina disappear. "Forget me!"
Selina saunters down the street, thinking. A few days ago she escaped Sean Ornelas by outsmarting him, and the street boy's name was familiar to her ears. Though she never met the boy in person, she had heard a lot of stories about his reputation. People said the boy was strong, stealthy, fast, great liar and an expert in fooling people, and smart.
Okay, Selina had to admit the boy was fast and stealthy, because she hadn't heard him coming at her when he grabbed the sack off her head. Strong too, because for the first time in Selina's life, Sean was the first kid who made her knock to the ground. But smart? Maybe, but not smarter than her, ha.
For a moment her mind wanders back to the moment she escaped Sean Ornelas, and his shouts to her to forget him and don't try to look for him. What did he mean with that? Why would he even think she would search for him? Then Selina grins to herself as she remembers why people call her cat. They do for it for lots of things, but one of those things is that she is as curious as a cat. Obviously Sean knew that.
Selina sighs. For the past few days she tried to forget Sean Ornelas, like the kid told her, and normally most boys were already out of her head by now, but why not Sean? What was it about that boy she couldn't forget?
Okay, she has to admit he's handsome, but she met handsome boys before. Whatever the reason was, Selina doesn't know, but one thing she knows for sure. 'Maybe it's time to get to know you better, Sean Ornelas,' Selina thinks to herself as she stops in front of a tall building, the library. Scrolling through some old newspapers might do the trick.
It's far past closing time, but Selina knows a way inside. She always sneaks inside if she needs to use the bathroom, or a dry place to sleep. But tonight she was determined to find more about Sean.
Quietly Selina turns one of the computers on and sits down and starts to search for the name Sean Ornelas. What she finds is not what she expected to find.
It turns out that Sean Ornelas is the son of the wealthy Ornelas family. His dad even had a big company like the Wayne family have. But the family got attacked six years ago by the mob-bosses in of Gotham and they chased the Ornelas family to the docks.
Once they stepped into a boat to take them away from Gotham, Sean Ornelas was shot by a unknown criminal and fell into the cold waters around Gotham. The cops said there was no way the seven year old boy could have survived the gun-shot, nor the freezing cold waters.
'But if that's true, who did I meet?' Selina thinks as she scrolls through the old newspaper articles. It certainly has to be Sean Ornelas she met because the eye and hair color matches, and also the age seems to be correct.
Selina tries to find more leads about the street boy, but then she suddenly hears a soft noise, indicating she's not alone. Cautiously she jumps up from her seat, quickly turning off the computer as she darts her eyes through the dark area. The noise is gone.
Quietly Selina walks around her computer desk, carefully listening as she walks stealthy across the large room. Then, looking ahead while she takes tiny steps, backwards, she suddenly bumps her back into someone.
Quickly as a cat sensing danger, Selina rounds on her heels and prepares herself for a fight, staring straight into chocolate brown eyes. For a moment she stares at the boy in front of her in awe, and the boy does the same.
"YOU!" They both exclaim at the same time, breaking the silence in the library.
"WHO"S THERE?!" A voice shouts, and the two kids turn their heads alarmed and see a night guard heading toward them. The both of them quickly scramble through the open window, going into different directions as they disappear into the night.
Sean climbs back through an abandon warehouse broken window and turns on the tiny light bulb in his room. With a deep tired sigh the street boy flops down onto his scruffy matrass, thinking.
Though Sean tried to forget Selina, like he told her to do with him, he couldn't. What was it about her that kept his mind wandering back to her. Yeah sure, he admits that she was lots different than all the other girls he had met on the streets. She was smart, fast and quite strong.
But Sean also doubts her trustworthiness. She proved it when he had pinned her to the ground. It all looked so real when she started to scream and cry to him to not hurt her. There were even tears, and Sean scrambled backwards because he was never intend to harm her or give her the impression he was like that. He was not like all the other street boys who bragged about themselves and about the girls they forced into things they didn't want.
She was smart and escaped, and that means she could tell on him. He told her his name, but only because he thought she would feel threatened by it, but she didn't. He shouldn't have told her his name. Now she could go to the police and tell them about him. And that's why Sean went to the library tonight. He went there to do an internet search on her.
Sean sighs again as he lies down, his head onto his pillow and pulls his legs onto the matrass. His internet search was for nothing. He didn't find anything about Selina. But because he couldn't find anything that linked her to a mob-boss, doesn't mean she is not working for any.
The only thing he could find about Selina was that she escaped several foster families who took her in after her mom died. 'Well, that's what the police say anyway', the reporter of the article said. 'Because little girl Selina keeps saying her mom is abducted by criminals. But the police found a body that matches Miss Kyle's description, and the they closed the case'.
Sean felt a little sorry for Selina when he read that. The more shocked he was when he heard a noise and shortly after bumped into Selina. What was she doing there? Had she followed him?
Sean gets back onto his feet and turns the light bulb off, heading out the door. He certainly had to keep his eyes open for this Selina Kyle, because after tonight, she still remains a mystery to him. But he would find out more about her, Sean knows that for sure. But not tonight. Tonight he had to guard the docs.
So, what do you think so far? Please review/fav or follow:D
