"Wake up! Hahaha! See what I've sent now, miserable little demigod!" The evil sounding woman cackled.

I shot up, gasping. "Oh- oh no."

It was happening again. They were coming. Why was it always at night too? Did they revel in ruining my sleep, hoping to catch me tired and slow?

I scrambled out of bed, slowing to balance myself as a bout of dizziness waved over me.

Dam monsters.

I was supposed to go get my phone back from Bella today. Now I had to go fight monsters.

The worst part- I'd have to sneak past Jason, who was sleeping on the couch.

"I hate this." I grumbled.

I put on some clothes and quietly opened my door. I creeped out and froze when I noticed the couch bare, only a blanket and pillow laying there.

I frowned. Where had Jason gone? There wasn't many places to be inside my apartment.

I shook my head. Now wasn't the time. I had monsters sniffing me out, and I obviously didn't want to cause any damage to the shop or my apartment.

I still opened the apartment door slowly- if Jason happened to be downstairs, I wasn't about to alert him of my apparent departure.

I closed it behind me, I cringed as the door squealed shut.

I froze at the top of the stairs, waiting for anything- Jason's voice perhaps- but there was nothing.

I cautiously proceeded down the steps, wincing as each awkward side step jolted pain in my side.

I might not have a choice. I might have to heal it. Hopefully when I do.. I can get away with Jason never knowing.

Would it be so bad if he knew?

I feel as if I've gone over this topic in my mind a million times.

I shake the thoughts from my head. It wasn't the time to worry about opinions and fears. Jason would probably have my back no matter how crazy my life was.

I unlock and push open the store door, closing it behind me softly. The moon was already out of sight, either behind clouds or just not there all together.

With that being so, it was very dark, and as I've said before, it's extremely dark on the streets in between the lamp posts.

...which aren't working.

Well that's wonderful!

I just love taking a walk in the pitch blackness of Gotham!

Especially when-

I dropped, sinking to the ground in lightning fast reflexes, an especially dark shadow leaped overhead, missing its target.

Which was me.

The hellhound turned with a growl, and i leap up to my feet, shoving my hand into my pocket, retrieving Riptide, my trusty pen sword that.. admittedly, I've been ignoring.
