She woke with a blur of voices circling around her like a crowd of ghosts mocking everything she made a futile attempt at. Where…..where am I?... Who am I? Wait…it's…ow! It hurts! My name! Wait! The man!
"Mum…" Vivienne's voice slurred out of her mouth. Evey looked at her daughter now in a hunched position, barely able to keep herself sitting. She looked as if she had gone through a hangover. Her hair was completely claimed by the wild, knots being strewn all over it as if it had been raised by a tumble weed. Her face was drooped, almost like she had gotten drunk to the point of a blackout, and her mouth was drooling.
"Are you okay?" was all Evey could manage to choke out. She was on the verge of tears again. She couldn't handle seeing her daughter like this.
"Y-yeah. My head just hurts- Ow!" Vivienne yelped out, after trying to touch the bump on her head.
"Don't mess with your injury, for all we know, you could slip into a coma. I wouldn't be able to handle that. I can't lose another one who's precious to me…" Evey said, emotion beginning to dig its way into her some more. She stood up and walked towards her daughter, sitting on the bed so she could make sure her daughter was truly okay.
"It's okay mum, I'm fine….I will be back to normal soon, and you and I both know that for a fact…" Vivienne softly spoke, wrapping her arms around her mum, so she wouldn't feel so scared and worried for her. Her mother, whenever she talked about her father named V, she would always cry. It tore at Vivienne's heart to see it. That's why she decided to be strong. She had to, for her mum.
"Would you guys like me to get you some food?" Mr. Finch chimed in, unaware of what he had intervened on.
"Sure!" Vivienne and Evey both chirped at the same time.
"What'll it be, angels?" He smiled, wanting to please them.
"Mum can we get some pizza?" Vivienne asked, her voice being soft and mellow, but with a bit of a force and rush.
"…Fine, but it's only because you smacked your head on the rails you lil buster!" Evey pretended to hit Vivienne on the head. Vivienne responded by dramatically flailing her arms in the air and opening her mouth to a distorted way, creating triple chins on her mouth and "slowly" falling on her mother's lap.
"Perfecto performance! Well then, I also brought you your laptop Vivi, so you won't get bored while we're getting your prize. We won't be long, I promise!" Finch chuckled lightly, patting Vivienne on the leg and taking Evey up with him.
"Okay! Be back soon or I'll bite you in the morning!" she yelled at the down the hall as they left her room. "That was way too easy…" she murmured to herself. She needed to attract the man who had done this to her, who had made her mum cry. She was going to get revenge.
Stepping out on the balcony, Vivienne kept a close watch on anything that might catch her eye. Nothing. Maybe that man thinks I don't remember him….
"I know you're there!" she tried yelling out. It was a certain tactic she used. When she was younger, she played hide-and-seek like any other child. When she had the sickening feeling that one of the hiding children were close by, but she couldn't find them, she would say "found you", despite the fact that she didn't. Then, they would come out, thinking she really had found their secret place. It worked about ninety percent of the time.
Still nothing.
"Fine then! I'll just make you come out!" Vivienne pouted, frustration taking its hold on her facial expression. She grabbed her clothes that were washed and put them on, asking a nurse to re-bandage her head, before waiting for her to leave and proceeding to jump onto the roof below.
"Come out already! I don't have much time! Unless….of course you want me to snitch!" She sneered. The person obviously didn't want to be found out….right? People usually don't want to be ratted out. This will definitely make the mysterious person exit from their place of darkness. They have to! If they don't….
"Little girls shouldn't be walking the streets at night, especially in dark alleyways." A deep and velvet voice behind Vivienne sounded.
"A-ha! I knew you were there! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" She pointed in triumph, a smile stealing her expression from the frustration that had been renting it a couple of minutes ago.
"So you are correct…but…who may I ask am I speaking to?"
"Vi-Vi-Enne! Why? Do you plan on being my acquaintance or do you plan on apologizing by throwing me a big birthday party? She snorted before rolling her eyes in sarcasm.
"Your birthday is nearing? How old will a young little lady like-"
"I'm not little! I'm not a lady! I'm a tomboy and I'm proud!" She cut him off, her facial expression now taking a turn for pride with a frown.
At first he was silent, cocking his mask to the side ever so slightly, as if contemplating what she had just said. Then he broke into a rich and creamy laugh.
"Um..? What I said was serious! By the way who are you?"
"Who? Who is but the form following the function of what, and what I am is a man in a mask."]
"Hey! That was my father's line!" She nearly yelled at him, and would have if the lights of the car that had barely parked hadn't caught her attention.
"Oh sh-Actually um I mean…uh oh I gotta go!" Vivienne nervously hissed through an anxious, wide grin before climbing up to the room like a spider.
